You know nothing

Chapter 5. Two hours

 * Samantha's POV*

Two hours of f*cking sleep. That's what I had... He just won't stop showing up, and what's even worse is that the first two months were alright. But after that, every dream is like torture, because every time he tries, and tries and tries... I can't, and I won't...

When I feel strong enough, I'll start going to that damned lake every day so I could meet him and reject, but not now. Now I'm too weak and might just collapse in his arms.

' Good morning Ava .' I told sitting by the table.

' Sam!? what the f*ck happened to you?!' She questioned looking at me.

' Couldn't sleep.' She let out a breath.

' Sam... girl.. you need to do something about it...' She said looking concerned.

'I know Ava , I know ..'

' So why don't..?'

' Because it's more difficult than you might think..' she raised an eyebrow.

'Why don't you let me decide if it's as difficult as you say..?' She asked.

Ha! Good one...

' Thanks , Ava but...'

' Bla bla bla ! I know , you can't speak of it.. You know , I still think that you are involved in something shady..' She said laughing.

' For the millionth time Ava, I'm not ! It's just.. I had hard past and I don't wanna speak of it until I'm ready to let go..'

I tried to explain.

' It's alright Sam, I understand , and.. don't mind it , I was just joking..'

' Thank you..' She finished her breakfast and stood up from the chair.

' Anyway Sam .. Enjoy your vacation, as well I hope that you'll be able to relax enough so you could sleep..' She said coming for a hug.

' Thanks... Yeah , see you after two weeks I guess..' I said patting her back.

' Don't forget to lock the door..' She said grabbing her purse and left.

Welp... It's almost time to go for me as well...

Called the cab and left for the airport.

***

Gates open in ten minutes. So I guess I'll just sit until then...

***

Oh.. no, no, no no, what is this heavenly smell that's attacking my nostrils...

Wait a minute! I know it..!?

No! Please goddess, how can he be here, now!? Oh, this smell of sandalwood mixing with vanilla and amber.. goodness gracious... It's too good to ignore...

Oh the gates! They opened. Good! I walked and successfully was the first one in line.

Showed my ticket, passport and went to sit on the plane hoping that he didn't catch my smell...

Because it's my vacation and not some kind of fast trip, I decided to take first-class, so maybe, just maybe, I could try and sleep for those five hours of the flight.

Passing the still empty plane as the first passenger, anxiety started to hit as I never flew. But, a fun flight awaits, I guess...

Found my place and got slightly surprised as I thought the first class was only going to be the same seats as usual, just with more space, but this.. this is wow, you get a bed like couch with pillow and everything, and a small armchair in front with a table that can be pulled out from the side...

Two hours of sleep really did mess me up because I can't lift my twelve-pound luggage... goddammit !?

A damn wolf can't lift twelve pounds !?!

I tried my best and lifted it up, but as I was pushing it in, something got stuck and it began falling on my head. I was ready for my own luggage to hit my head when someone stopped it, seems like in slow motion I watched as my baggage was pushed into the drawer, then I was hugged from behind, and it hit me, the electricity coming from his body pressing against mine.. and ohh...

' Your smell...' he said sniffing my hair.

I said nothing, just stood frozen as in dreams, please tell me it's a dream.. very realistic one... please... I prayed.

He let out a heavy breath.

' You won't speak to me...'

He turned me around... Those eyes. Oh... I'm sinking in them.. and he's so tall that my head has to be lifted to look him in the eyes...

' You know , I'm not blind.. ' he said.

I gathered all the strength in me to turn my gaze from him, and when I was about to speak, a stewardess came.

' Did you found your places?' she asked politely.

' Yes, thank you .' I said leaving his embrace and sitting down, then she turned to him...

' Uhm, am, yes , and I should go a little further.' he said looking at me.

' Do you need help?' the lady asked.

' No, it's alright.. then.. I'll be moving..' he said it more like asking and walked few rows further. Stewardess nodded, then smiled to me and left.

I feel so tired... Having only two hours of sleep, I'm like a walking zombie, didn't even thank him.

Better not, because if I would go to him now, he would... Ehh, doesn't matter.

Good, the flight has begun, meaning that I can get some much-needed sleep.

With that thought, I got comfy and fell asleep.

****

Sparks... I feel sparks. What is this... I thought raising my head but was quickly stopped.

' Shh.. you can sleep.' a deep voice said.

' W..?'

' Just pretend that this is a dream..' he said quietly caressing my cheek.

No way in hell I'm doing as he says !?

I rose.

' What are you doing here?' I demanded with my arms crossed.

He just shrugged his shoulders.

' That's where I belong , why should I be elsewhere?' he simply replied.

I let out a breath.

' I don..'

' Stop it , alright... Just for a moment.' he begged.

' I.. I don't want a mate...' I began.

' But why? I waited for you for so long and now you don't even want to give me a chance, what made you be this way?' he asked, crossing arms against his chest as well.

' I can't...'

' Why?! Why you can't?!' he almost shouted.

' Can't you just .. go away..' I begged while tears threatened to show up.

' No , I'm not going anywhere... Can I at least know your name ?'

Thought for a while... Goddammit, I have no other choice...

' Samantha..' he raised an eyebrow.

' Although Samantha is beautiful name , this isn't true.. Mates know when their significant other lies...' he said.

I didn't say a thing.

' Show me your boarding pass..' he asked.

Hehe.

I took it out slowly and gave to him.

' Hmm.. Samantha it is then.. Did you change identity or something?Because I swear , I had this feeling of you not saying the truth about your name..'

I didn't answer.

' Alright alright.. My name is Damian..' he told reaching out a hand.

I just nodded.

' Samantha.. why are you so stubborn?' he tried.

' The moment this plane land , I'll go my way , and you , yours.. ' Was all I said.

' No you won't.. You know , we still have an hour left ,so... you could speak, or sleep on my lap as you did before, you look so cute asleep by the way..' he said with a chuckle.

I won't... I don't give a damn. It doesn't matter how inviting his smell is or how handsome he looks, the pain is too much, and I wouldn't be able to experience it for the second time.

' As you wish beauty...'

* Damian's POV*

I guess we'll go the hard way.. in reality, she looks even more beautiful than all those dreams combined.

Her red hair tied in a ponytail, yet... tangling all over her neck because of the big curls they are in... Her figure, perfectly shaped like an hourglass, then eyes ... as green as a forest that just bloomed.. heart-shaped puffy lips.. goddammit, how can I let go of this amazonian beauty...

Samantha... Beautiful name, but that's not true...

Decided to take a nap as she wouldn't speak with me.

***

* Samantha's POV*

Is he for real !?

Firstly, comes out of nowhere. Now he freaking fell asleep on my seat !? I swear to goddess, if he attempts leaning into me, I'll drop him to the ground!

Oh, but wait... the plane is already landing.. and he's still asleep ...

That's my chance to leave him without any drama.

***

The plane landed soon after. He was still sleeping, so I used my chance to just go.

As I left the plane, I turned to the exit as fast as I could so.. hm... Damian wouldn't be able to catch me...

' Where to ? ' Cab driver asked.

' Hotel Le grande tore.' he just nodded and began driving.

To my success, I was able to run away.

****

*Damian's POV*

'Hello?' heard someone's faint voice...

' Hi , um , excuse me sir, but the flight is over and you are the last passenger left..' I recognized the stewardess's voice and jumped up straight away.

' Huh?! Where is the girl ?' she shook her head.

' I'm sorry , but as I said , you are the last passenger.' she told looking sorry.

' Oh.. Okay , thanks , I'll just grab my luggage and go .' she nodded and let me take my stuff, then led me out the plane checking the rest of the spaces if they were empty for sure.

I can't believe it! She left me! She f*cking left me! I swore going out, all the time smelling a path of her scent which led me to the parking and then disappeared. I guess she took a cab.

' Excuse me, Mr. Knight?' Oh yes... They've sent a driver to pick me up, how could I forget... Poor guy must've waited for me longer than he should've.

'Uhm, Hello , yes , I'm sorry if you had to wait longer than intended for me.' I apologized to an elder with comparably big mustaches.

' It's alright , Mr. Knight , it's my job, I couldn't leave without you, can I take your luggage?' he asked politely.

Motioned for me to sit in the back of a car and put my luggage in the boot, then came in the car himself and began driving.

' Where am I going to stay? Is it their private residence or a hotel?' I tried asking him.

' They haven't informed you of it yet?' The driver asked.

' No , there have been too many changes that the last information of my staying location wasn't confirmed completely.'

'Alright Mr. we are going to a hotel called Le grande tore, boss reserved a luxury room for your week long stay..' he explained.

' Alright , thank you...'

' Francois.'

'Franc.. I'm sorry I'm not sure of how to pronounce your name.' I said apologetically.

'It's alright Mr. You can call me Francis if it's easier .' he said looking at me through a rearview mirror.

' Thank you..'

***

We arrived, and I stepped out of the car. Francis as well, took out my luggage.

' I'll be here to pick you up for a meeting tomorrow at nine in the morning .' he said giving it to me.

' Thank you Francis , see you tomorrow.' I said nodding to him and went to the hotel door which were opened quickly by a guard.

Wh.. !?

She is here! I can't believe it, of all the places around, she's in this hotel as well.

That smell... the same fresh Lavender scent hit my nostrils the moment I stepped a foot inside the building.
