DESTINED LOVERS

CHAPTER 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~꧂Damian ꧂
Damian watched Kiara as she moved happily in the water.
Her reaction and the way she behaved made him smile.
Her skin shone just like the moon in the water,her golden hair fell down in silk waves,and her wey dress clinged to the curves of her body bringing out her hour glass shape.
Sitting on the ground he rested his head on a rock and closed his eyes.
His thoughts drifted back to when he first met Kiara.
She was so sweet and beautiful that ever since then she has been on his mind.bur he's grateful for the fact that they are now friends and probably could turn into something more intimate.
"Ouch!!"
He heard someone screamed
"Kiara?"
She was no longer in the water...
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
"Ouch!!"I yelled as I sat on the floor holding my knee.
I had tripped and hit my knee on a stone and her a little bruise.
"Kiara?"I heard Damian call
"Are you alright?"suddenly he was beside me
"I just fell down, nothing much"I replied
"you are bleeding, come on, let's get back to school"he said and helped up
. As I stood up and rested weight on the knee,I felt a sharp pain and I grimaced but didn't make it obvious.
I think Damian noticed it cause he suddenly lifted me from behind on his arms.
"Damian what are you doing?"I asked
"Carrying you"he stated simply
"I Know that please drop me I can walk"I said
"Babe if I was to let you walk,we wouldn't get to school even after sunset"
Babe???
Did he just call me babe??? I like the sound of that.
**************************************
When we got to the school gate, I demanded that Damian put me down to walk but he turned deaf years.
"What room are you in?"he asked
"Room 101"
As we walked pass the hallway,the students stared at us.The boys with amusement and the girls with jealousy.
I couldn't help but cover my face with Damian's shirt
"What are you doing?"Damian asked
"Hiding my shame"I answered
Damian just shook his head smiling.
Getting to my room,he put me down on the bed and went to get the first aid kit.
He bent down and lifted my leg,his touch was so soft, I wondered how a guy could touch so gently.
"I can do that myself Damian"I said when Damian tried to raise my dress.
"Just sit still" He ordered.
I opened my mouth to protest but said nothing.
He raised my dress above my knee and applied iodine to the bruised area.
I grimaced in pain but didn't make any sound.
As if feeling my pain, he blew soft air on the wound,his breath was so warm it made my toes curl.
It will hurt a little"he said and let my dress fall back down.
"Thank you"I said
"Don't mention"he said as a cute smile crept its way to his face
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

"Valerie, I've been noticing how close Damian is becoming with Kiara,do you think he likes her?"Luna asked as Kiara and Damian walked into the class.
"That wouldn't be possible,I just broke up with that dude 1 month ago,there is no way he would have gotten over it and become ready for a new relationship"Valerie spoke as she stared at Kiara irritated.
**************************************
"Hey babe,has Damian tried to confess how he felt about you yet?"Samara asked on our way to the dormitory
"no he hasn't,I don't think he likes me ,I mean he is sure to have a girlfriend right?"I asked
"No he doesn't"Carson said
"Seriously?"
"Yeah he broke with his girlfriend long ago"Samara stated.
"Oh..."was all I managed to say
"Okay dudes we've gotten to our destination so goodbye, Lorcan and I might come over to Madison quarter after sunset"Carson said.
Carson kissed Madison goodbye and was about to go when Valerie stopped them.
"Sorry to cut the party short, but I need to make an announcement"she said
"What do you want Valerie?"Madison asked
"Well Samara, Madison, Lorcan and Carson,there is gonna be a partying my dome tonight and I expect you all to be there except for you Kiara invited."Valerie said
"Why isn't she invited?"Carson asked
"Because I don't need sluts at my party"she stated simply
"You dare not refer to me as a slut"I said
"I'm sorry Valerie if Kiara isn't invited,we aren't gonna come."Madison said
"Well that's on you cause you are gonna miss out the live entertainment from the Beetles;Luna said
"You mean the Beetles are coming to our school?"Samara asked
"How do we believe you?"
"Well you know Jace father owns the music industry and since Jace is my best friend he helped me convince his father to let them come play at my party"Valerie spoke proudly.
"Well sorry to say Valerie, I'm actually not the party type,so to hell with you and your party,and guys you can go if you want,I wouldn't want you to miss the live show of your favorite music band"I said
"But Kiara you wouldn't have a chance to see the Beetles"Madison said
"Uh.., about that, I've seen them played a lot of times, I'm Kiara Buenavista remember"I said
"Show off"Valerie said irritation clear in her voice.
"Luna, Chloe please hand out the cards to them excluding that Kiara of a girl"Valerie said and walked out with shoulders high.
"Proud brats"Carson cursed inwardly.
"So mean and proud"Madison added
"And it seems she really does dislikes you Kiara"Samara said
"It seems so"
"But why?"Madison asked
"What do you expect, Valerie had always been the prettiest and smartest girl in school but ever since Kiara started schooling here it's just like she has taken her place, every here and there all I hear is the name Kiara Buenavista and no longer Valerie Robertson like I used to."Lorcan stated
"If that's the reason,then guys jealousy is a really terrible disease, I hope she gets well soon or do we have to send her cards and flowers?"Samara said mocking lit in her tone.
"Here I am thinking Valerie is mean, Samara you are really mean."Madison said
"Kiara I'm really happy with the way you stand up to Valerie each time she tries to ride you"Samara said.
"It's just that Valerie gets on my nerves Alot"I replied
"Not only you Kiara,all the students in class dislikes her even possible the whole school."Lorcan said.

I sat on my bed reading a novel when my phone rang, picking it up,it was my dad calling.
My dad?,why was he calling me?,why today?,did something happen at home?,these questions flooded in mind
"Hello father!"
"Hey princess,how are you doing"my father spoke
"I'm okay and you? How is mother and Lisa?"I asked
"They are all well my dear, how are you faring at school"he asked
"I'm doing well dad, I've also made some new friends"I replied
Just then I felt someone presence in the room
"Can I call you back father I have an assignment I'm yet to finish"I lied
Turning around,I was shocked to find Damian standing in the room.
"Damian?..how did you get in?I asked still surprised
He gave a look which clearly meant "where else if not through the door"
Yeah I know it was stupid of me to ask such a question I mean he couldn't have teleported in to the room but I was sure I locked the door.
"You were so engrossed in your call that you didn't hear me come in."he answered.
"Oh..."
"Aren't you gonna attend Valerie's party?"he asked still standing where he stood
**************************************
His eyes scanned the length of her body as she laid on the bed,taking in every detail.
She was wearing a form fitting white dress that enhance the curves of her body. The fabric was thin but not revealing still,he knew she was wearing nothing underneath.
"Damian?"her voice so sweet called out to him.
Her golden hair shone brightly in the dim room and she looked much more beautiful as the moon light shone on her pale skin.
"Are you just gonna stand there?"she asked
No!,he wanted to turn around and leave but he found himself taking a step forward
Cursing silently, he stalked to the bed.
**************************************
I felt my cheeks flush as his gaze moved over my body.
Why was he looking at me with such intensity in his eyes. slowly,he lifted his gaze to mine and our eyes locked.
Heat blazed from the depths of them, warming me from inside.
With his eyes never leaving mine, he stalked his way to the bed.
"Aren't you gonna attend Valerie's party?"he asked again
"I don't like parties"I replied
"You why didn't you go?"I asked
"Valerie is my ex girlfriend and I wouldn't wanna attend her party"he said
"So that means you are also less busy tonight?"I asked
"I guess"
Getting out of the bed I walked towards the window and looked at the sky, there were a lot of shooting stars, it was a really beautiful sight.
Damian walked to the window as well and from the corner of my eyes, I could see him staring at me.
"Isn't it beautiful?"I asked nodding towards the sky.
"Very beautiful"he said but he was still looking at me
I turned to him "I'm speaking of the stars Damian"I said with a hiss
"I see nothing but you right now"
We just stared at each others unable to look away until we heard some students talking outside the dome.
Tearing my gaze from him, I stared back at the sky"they just fly freely, nothing to hold them back"I said smiling
"It's seems you love nature alot"he pointed
"What do you expect of a child who was always sheltered and never allowed to go out?"I smiled.
"Kiara can I tell you something?"Damian asked as his facial expression became serious
"Sure"
"I know of a guy who wants to court you, would you gone him a chance?"he asked
"Why would I give him a chance when I don't even know him?"I asked
It's me Kiara, I wanna court you would you give me a chance?"
