Damon's POV
I watched her sleep for the longest time. I heard the front door open and close and then I see Blake standing in the doorway and his eyes widen. I bring my finger to my lips and shush him and he nods. I slowly slip out from under her and pull the blankets over her. I walk out of the room and close the door and stalk to the kitchen.
"What the hell was that?" Blake hisses at me
"She needed a friend and I laid there with her til she fell asleep" I tell him sternly
"She talked to you though" He says knowing the answer already
"She did" I say
"Why?" He asks
"I don't know. And don't ask. That is her story to tell and not my business unless she makes it my business" I tell her harshly
"You like her" He says
"Yeah I do. She is a total hard ass but is sweet as hell. What's not to like" I say shrugging my shoulders
"Stop talking about me" Makayla says walking in rubbing her eyes
I pull her something to drink and hand over some headache medicine. She takes it and sighs and then leans up kissing my cheek.
"Thank you" She tells me
"Anytime babe." I tell her
"I wanna go dancing. We are going out tonight"She says
We look at her in shock but we nod not trying to argue with her. She walked off and come back dressed and left.
"She is going to do some damage control at the mall" Blake tells me
"Oh" I say confused
"She will probably order new furniture. She changes it up so often and donates her stuff to the orphanages" He tells me
I hum and finally telling him i'm gonna go get a shower and get ready. He nods and says he's gonna head home and do the same.
Makayla's POV
I did some shopping. Okay I did a lot of shopping. I even called Mother Beth and asked if they needed anything and told her she could send someone Saturday to pick up everything. She thanked me again and I hung up with her and grabbed my bags and headed in the house. When I walked in music was playing and I smiled.
"What's with the smile?" Damon asks walking out of the kitchen
"Nothing. Just realizing how nice it is to actually have someone here. I've been alone so long I forgot what it was like coming home to someone here." I say softly
"Go get ready. It's already 7" He tells me
I nod and go to my bedroom. i got a hot bath and washed up. I got out and dried off and slip on my bra and panties. I curled my hair and did my make up and then slipped on my outfit.
It was simple and comfortable. I could dance in it and I loved it. I grabbed some cash, my card and phone and headed down. When i walked in the living room all the guys were sitting around. Whistles ring out so I do a little spin and grin.
"Come on goofballs" I say
They nod and we all get in the uber and head to my favorite club. When we get there I lead everyone to the VIP section. We all get drinks and then i head to the dance floor. No Brainer starts playing and I grin. I start moving to the beat. Hands land on my waist and I tense.
"It's me" Damon says in my ear
I nod and start moving again. He moves with me and I grin and really get into it. When my ass grinds into him I feel him harden. His hands on my hips tighten and I lean back into his chest and wrap my arms around his neck and continue to move. His lips find my neck and I moan softly. We dance for a long time and hours pass it was finally time to leave. We made our way outside and the paps had found me.
"Makayla over here. Is it true your engaged?" He shouts taking a picture of my ring finger
I had forgotten to take off the ring and I flinched.
"Come on darlin" Damon says
I nod and he ushers me into the uber and we head home. Once I get in the house I scream.
"What was that?" He asks
"My name is Makayla Waters" I tell him
His eyes widen and he starts choking on his own spit.
"Holy s**t" He says
"This is bad" I say rubbing my temples
"No it's not. I'll pretend to be engaged to you. We can end it in a few months if that's what you want" He tells me
"Daddy is going to want to meet you. You aren't going to be good enough. NO offense" I say
"Babe relax. I can handle your dad." He tells me
My phone rings and I know it's my dad.
"Hey daddy" I say softly
"Tomorrow. Lunch" He says and hangs up
"We have lunch tomorrow. I'm so sorry" I tell him
He shrugs and walks over hugging me and I relax into him.
"Come on let's get you in bed" He says
I nod and go to my room and strip and crawl in bed and knock out. The next day I get dressed in something I know my dad will hate and we head to his house. When we get there Brian opens the door.
"Brian" I say nodding
"Miss. Makayla." He says nodding
Damon holds my hand and I walk into the living room to see my dad waiting.
"Hey daddy" I say
"Maykayla"He says scowling at Damon
"Mr. Waters. Nice to meet you. I'm Damon Hughs" He sighs smugly
"Hughs?" My dad says in shock
"Yeah you know my dad then? He's a Senator" Damon says smirking
"Of course I know Scott" My dad says angrily
I have never seen my dad like this and I loved it.
"Daddy isn't it nice i found the perfect Fiance. Now you can stop trying to Marry me off for a name. And no his dad will not be helping you in any way" I tell him
"Is that what you really think of me?" He asks me in shock
"Yes it is. Ever since mom left you have used me. You pushed me onto Brandon and that son of a b***h abused me. So yes dad that is what I think of you" I snap at him
"he what?" My dad raors
"it doens't matter. I left and didn't come back and I'm not coming back." I tell him
"Damon give us a minute please" My dad says
Damon nods and kisses my temple and steps out.
"Dad I don't want to hear it" I tell him
"Makayla. Oh baby i'm so sorry. I never wanted that for you. I wanted what was best for you yes. I'm sorry. Buttercup if your happy then i'll stand behind it" He tells me placing a hand on the side of my face
Tears flood my eyes and I shove myself into his chest and cry. He rubs my back and kisses the top of my head.
"I am happy daddy. More than I have been in a long time. He's great to me and for me. He brings out the best in me."I tell him
"Then be happy buttercup. When is the date?" He asks me
"September 18th" Damon says stepping in
I look at him in shock and he winks at me.
"Not much time. Better call Sandra to get planning" Dad tells me
"Sandra?" I ask
"She helped your mom and Aunt Cassie" He says looking down at me smiling
I step back and call Aunt Cassie and put her on speaker.
"Hello" She says
"Auntie Cassie" I say
"Kay baby. How are you sweetheart?" She asks
"Um engaged" I say smiling
She squeals and I laugh.
"Can you help me?" I ask her
"Of course. I'm booking my flight now. i'll be there tomorrow. Send Brian to fetch me. Tell your dad to hand over that card cause I know he's listening. You better have no touched my baby's wedding fund" She snaps
"Of course I didn't. Seen you soon Cass" Dad says smiling
"You certainly will. Our girl only is getting married once. Love you" She says and hangs up
I look up at my dad and he smiles at me.
"Miss Makayla. We heard and we have something for you" Brenda says behind me
I turn around and all the maids and Brain were standing there smiling. I walk up to them and Brenda hands me a small envelope. I open it and I smiled at the picture. I was about 12 years old and was on Brain's shoulders while all the maids were standing around us smiling. I looked in the envelope and didn't see anything so i turned the picture over and gasped. On the back it said We love you. Congrats. A tear slipped down my face and I group hugged them all.
"Katie" I call
She steps up and smiles at me.
"You have been my best friend for years. Will you be my maid of honor?" I ask her
She gasps and looks around and grins and nods and hugs me.
"I want you all there" I tell them
"we will be there cupcake" They all say
I smile and walk over to Damon who pulls me into his chest and I tense. He rubs my back softly and kisses the top of my head.
"We are gonna get out of here. We got some talking to do" Damon tells my father who nods
When we get back to the house i start pacing and Damon chuckles at me.
"DO not laugh at me this is going to be a disaster. I can't believe we went through with that" I screech
"Makayla calm down and sit your ass down" He snaps at me
I sit down and he walks over and kneels in front of me.
"Sorry" I grumble
"Baby it's going to be ok. We will go through with this. It's fine. Besides I have fallen for you. Your smart, hard working, badass, you don't take s**t from anyone, and I love every inch of you. I know it's just been a few days but it's been love at first sight for me" He tells me
He pulls out a box and opens it and I gasp.
"Marry me forreal. Take a leap. Be crazy with me" He says
I look at him with tear filled eyes and nod. He grins and slips the ring on my finger and kisses me hard. I pull back and look at him and smile. Brandon walks in and looks at us. "
"What's going on?" He asks
"We are getting married" I tell him
He looks at me in shock and turns and leaves and I sit there in shock.
"What the hell was that?" I mumble
"He loves you babe. Yeah it may have just been s*x for you but he cares about you" Damon tells me
"I'll be back" I tell him
He sighs and nods and I get up and walk out. I get in my truck and drive to where I knew he would go. When I pulled up I see his shoulders tense. I get out and walk up and sit down by him.
"Don't" He snaps at me
"Blake stop. Do you honestly think it was just s*x for me? We agreed to no strings attached but when your f*****g the same person for years feelings grow. Don't tell me to f*****g stop." I snap back him
He doesn't say anything so I growl out at him and I get up and walk away and drive back to my house. When I get there I storm inside and go straight to my room. I r3emove all my jewelry and go in the bathroom and start myself a hot bubble bath. Once it was full I sank down into the hot bubbly water. I grabbed my glass of wine and sipped on it constantly. Before I knew it I had drank a whole bottle of wine. I was tipsy and being in this hot water wasn't helping but I didn't care. My bathroom door creaked open and Blake stood there. He sighed and come over to me and helped me out of the tub. He dried me off and dressed me and I sighed. He got me in bed and sat down by me and just looked at me. I rolled over and put my back to him and I closed my eyes.
