"When's the wedding?" Kristen asks.

I shrug as she sits on my chair.

It's been a couple days since the party, and I'm back at work. I get bored at home and I see Damon more.

Speaking of Damon, I haven't even seen him ever since I came here. He's been in his office all day.

"Well am I invited?" I nod

"You can be one of the bridesmaids. Aubrey is one as well." I say and she smiles brightly.

I know she bought Evan to the party, but I don't think she knows about him. She must have met him at work for those two days he came.

"Yes! We have to go shopping! But you have to finalise a date for the wedding" she stands up

"I can't wait" she walks out of the room.

I stand up and walk out of the room, and towards Damon's office. I knock on the door and walk inside.

"Kristen I sai-" he looks up at me, and smiles slightly.

"Ella" he whispers

I look around him. Files everywhere, his hair messed, from the amount of times he has ran his hands through it.

I close the door and walk towards him, as he opens his arms.

I sit down on his lap as he wraps his hands around my waist, pulling me closer.

"Are you okay Damon?" He nods closing his eyes, and laying his head on my shoulder.

"I am now" he whispers, as I blush.

"Being serious. Is there something wrong?" He nods opening his eyes

"There's some problems with the shareholders in Italy. I need to fly there and sort the problem out. It's just financial problems, and few with the security. I have to go by tomorrow to sort it out, or else I'll lose a lot of angry shareholders" I nod

"For how long?"

"A couple of days only though" I nod smiling at him.

"You should go. I'll be okay Damon. I'll be home anyway, so go and come back. And make sure you buy something from Italy" he chuckles

"Are you sure?" I nod

"Yeah. I came to ask, when is our wedding date?" He smirks

"When ever you want" I nod

"I was thinking in two weeks? When you go to Italy, I could do some of the shopping for the wedding. I could book the caterin-" he shakes his head

"I want to do that as well, together" he says and I nod

"Okay, well I'll get my wedding dress, right? I really like the tradition of the groom not seeing the brides dress. Don't you think? And I already have my bridesmaids sorted. Kristen, Aubrey and if Hannah wants to be one as well" he nods

"But I want to see your dress?" He pouts and I shake my head.

"Nope. It's going to be a surprise. I'll be going tomorrow to buy it, after you leave" he nods.

"Can I get a kiss before I leave?" I nod

"Tomorrow. When you leave" he sighs

"Just kiss me now. Please?" I kiss his cheek, but he turns his face, and I quickly move my face backwards.

"Not again" I say and he nods

"Fine. Just stay here" he says

"And not let you work?" I get up

He slaps my behind and I gasp.

"Damon! Behave!" I exclaim looking at him, as he chuckles.

"I love you Ella" he says

"I know. You make me happy Damon" I reply back, leaning on the door a little.

You make me happy is a way of saying I love you. For me. I know I do love Damon somewhere in my heart, but it's not coming out of my mouth.

So I think I may like Damon. I know I do like him. I know I like him a lot. Like a lot. But I don't know if that's love.

What does Damon love about me?

"Damon. Why do you love me? I mean there's so many bad things about me. There's nothing really to love about me?" I ask and he looks at me confused.

"What do you mean? There's a lot of things to love about you. Your smile your laugh-" I nod at him as he stands up, walking towards me.

"I get it" I blush as he walks closer to me.

He stops when he stands in front of me. He places both of his hands on either side of me, and leans closer.

"I love you because you're you. You're perfect" he whispers and I nod, as he licks his lips slightly.

He looks down at my lips and back into my eyes.

"Can I k-" there's a knock on the door, and I burst out laughing, as he swears under his breath.

"I love this cliché!" I exclaim, holding my stomach.

"What?" Damon opens the door as I fall onto the sofa, laughing.

"Oh. Sir I was looking for Gabi. I need her to check a few files" I hear Kristen's voice.

"She's not here" Damon closes the door.

He walks towards me, and picks me up.

"Da-" he crashes his lips on mine.

I wrap my arms around his neck, as he lifts me up, as our lips move in sync. I pull on his lip slightly, as he groans in satisfaction.

"Sir! Gabi isn't in the of-" Kristen's voice invades my head.

I push Damon back a little as he glares at the wall behind me.

He hates clichés, definitely now.

"Kristen leave. Or I'll get you fired" Damon says and I hear a door close.

"Now wh-" his phone rings. I bite my lip to stop laughing.

"Ignore it" I shake my head.

"Answer it"

"Ignore"

"Answer"

"Ignore"

"Damon I can do this all day. Answer it" he sighs walking towards his desk. He picks up his phone.

"What!" He shouts into the phone.

"Easy there tiger" I say and he takes a deep breath, smiling at me.

"Today? At 9? Jordan I said tomorrow....fine." He hangs up

"What happened?" I ask as he walks towards me. He wraps his hands around my waist, as I place my hands on his chest. He starts to sway side to side, slowly.

"I'll be leaving today. At 9" he says and I nod

"You should pack your bags." He nods

"It's 4.30 now. I'll go at 5 when everyone has left" I nod.

"Will you miss me?" He asks and I nod, laying my head on his chest.

"Yeah. Especially the surprises and the mornings" he nods

"I'll pick out three notes today, so for the three days I miss with you" I smile.

"I'll do the same" he nods, stopping me.

"Let's go" I look at him confused.

"No. Why don't we do this? You carry on working, and let me finish my work,and then we'll go together" he nods

"Okay" he kisses my cheek, and I walk out of the room.

I will miss Damon. A lot.

"Carter is going to stay with you as well. And so is Jordan, but he'll have to go back home with Aubrey" I nod as Damon sits on the bed.

"He'll be here in the morning" I nod again, picking up my jar.

It's 8.30 now, and Damon is going to leave. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, but I can't stop him from working.

"Are you okay Ella?" He lifts my chin up and I nod, smiling at him.

"Yep. Just thinking what I'll get" I show him my jar and he nods picking up his jar.

When he moved all his things into my room, he had put the pillows I bought as well.

"Open" he says and I nod.

I open it, closing my eyes, and pick a paper out.

I open my eyes and read it.

"I love your beautiful smile" I feel my face heat up.

"Another one" Damon say and I nod

I repeat my actions and pull another paper out.

"I love it when you wake up in the morning, wearing my shirt only and walk downstairs, looking for chocolate" Oh fudge me.

"How do you know it's your shirt?" I raise my eyebrow at him.

"I know my shirts Ella. And plus my clothes look better on you" I blush

"It's comfortable" I mumble taking a lolly stick out.

"A date on the beach" I read out.

"I promise to take you to the beach, when I come back" I nod turning to him.

"Your turn" I say closing my jar, as he opens his.

He closes his eyes, and pulls out three papers. That's an easy way.

He opens them and smirks at me, then starts reading.

"A thank you?" He says and I nod

"Thank you for making me happy" I blush as he chuckles

"Thank you for making me happy too" he replies back, reading a different one.

"A sorry?" He's confused

"Sorry for making you cook all the time?" I shrug

"I like it." He says reading the other one.

"3 kisses" he smirks at that one.

I blush.

I've been blushing a lot.

"Well Ella-" he looks at me. I jump off the bed.

"Its time for you to go" I say as he moves closer to my side of the bed.

I try to step back, but he wraps his legs around me, pulling to him.

I fall on top of him, as he leans back onto the bed.

"I like this position Ella" he whispers into my ear.

"You do?" I whisper looking into his eyes, as they shine back at me.

"I do. A lot" I gulp at his stare.

"I hate garlic!" I exclaim

He chuckles turning us around, so I'm laying on the bed.

"My three kisses?" He whispers

I lean up and kiss his cheek three times.

"There" I whisper against his cheek.

"Will you miss me?" I ask and he nods

"A lot."

"Promise?" He nods again.

"Promise." I smile

"I do want something from Italy. Like a key ring" he nods getting up, and pulling me up.

He places his lips on mine, as my eyes close.

"I love you Ella" I nod slowly as he moves back.

"I have to get going. Carter is going to come at night instead of tomorrow" I nod

"Can I get a hug?" He says.

I wrap my arms around him, as he tightens his hold on me.

This will be the first I'm here alone, in California without Damon.

"Ella can I ask you something?" I nod, not letting go.

"You're dependent on me" It's not a question.

I have letting go issues? Is that normal?

When I was in London, I would be dependent on Aubrey. That's why she says to me to independent.

"I'll come back. I promise okay?" He kisses my hair, and I nod letting him go.

"Am I stupid?" He shakes his head

"It's perfectly normal. You're dependent on me" he whispers to himself.

"Is that okay?" I say and he nods

"Yeah. I promise" I smile.

"But you have to independent as well Ella. I don't really mind, but once you grow up and see the outside world-fully- you'll have to be by yourself" I frown.

Okay that hurt. So is he saying that he won't be with me forever? Is he planning to break up with me? Really?

I nod at him.

"Yeah. You're right. I'll see you in a couple of days" I fake a smile at him.

He smiles back. He kisses my forehead, and grabs his suitcase, and walks out of the room.

I walk towards the french doors in the room, and open it. I step on the balcony, and watch as Damon gets out of the house. He walks towards his car and places his suitcase inside.

He takes a deep breath, looking back at the door, and then back at his car.

He looks up at our room balcony. He smiles when he sees me.

"I miss you already!" He shouts and I smile

"I miss you too" I say back.

He smiles and sits in the car, and drives off, just as another car enters through the gate.

Carter gets out of the car and waves at me.

"Hey Gabi. Jordan couldn't make it!" He shouts and I nod

"Come inside. I'll be in my room" he nods

"I'll be downstairs" he says

I nod, walking back inside.

I get changed into one of Damon's shirts, and lay down in bed.

I hope he gets there safely. So he can bring me something back. Yeah. That's why.
