“Vanessa, wake up,”

Someone starts shaking me but I try to ignore it until I can't anymore

“Leave me alone,” I mumble stuffing my head deeper into the pillow.

“I got a surprise for you,”

I shoot up from bed and meet Damon's amused eyes,“Give me” I say excitedly all signs of sleep already long gone

“Its you taking a shower and going to class so that you become super successful and take care of me and our three dogs,”

He's got be fucking kidding me

“You better start saying your prayers,” I say not joking at all and I think he notices this very quickly as he immediately runs out of my room

Little shit.......okay that doesn't sound right

Big shit

I get out of bed and rub my eyes, I scratch my left boob then my nose before doing this weird ass stretch that makes me groan in pleasure

“You shouldn't be making noises like that in the morning,” Damon says leaning against the door frame watching me like the lovesick puppy he is.

“Why not,” I say walking towards him and try to slip through the tiny space left but he seems to have other plans as he grabs me by waist and traps me by a wall.

His lips barely brush mine as they travel to my ear,“You’re making me really want to take you back to bed,”

“What a shame,” I say kissing him on the cheek before heading to the bathroom.

I brush my teeth before hopping into the shower and take about ten to fifteen minutes. I wrap a towel around my gym deprived body then go and get something to wear.

I end up wearing a white t-shirt with small line running across it, semi faded black jeans, my simple white trainers and to finish it off with a light blue denim jacket........Adam would be proud

Well not really since he's the one who already chose this for me.

Little ass shit thinks I can't dress.....can you believe that?

Yes I very much can, shit I just answered for myself.

I head to the kitchenette to get my packets of candy for the day then see a shirtless Damon typing away on his phone while sitting on the sofa.

“Why aren't you getting ready for classes,”

“I just need a t-shirt then I'm done,” he answers not looking up

Why do boys have it so fucking easy.

I get my candy and as I'm about to leave Damon stops me.

He grabs my wrist spinning me around and coming ever so close to me,“You forgot something,” he mutters lifting me up effortlessly, my legs wrapping around his torso.

“What?”

“This,” he says capturing my lips with his own

It was a short kiss making me crave for more and by the hungry look in his eyes I knew he wanted more aswell.

“Later,” I say before kissing him again and going to my first class.

When I get there no one greets me or even noticed that I have entered perks of being invisible, I just sit in my regular seat. I really should start making friends in this class....for homework purposes

“Hi,” I turn to the person next to me as I hear that. He's staring right at me then I furrow my brows before looking behind me and see no one that he can possibly be talking to

I turn back to him before muttering a ‘hey’ back

“Vanessa right?”

“Yeah and you are?”

“The guy who helped you out last time,” he says as if that's a very clear description

“Oh yeah thanks by the way,” I say regardless of whether I know what he's talking about or not then I take a random book to act as if I'm busy with stuff.

“You don't remember who I am do you?” he says, why is he still talking to me!

“Not a single clue,” I say honestly

“I'm Malcolm,”

“And you already know but I'm Vanessa,” I say causing him to chuckle

Wasn't that funny

“So uhh do you want to hang out later?”

“We just met,” At this point I'm looking for any and every excuse, why can't I just say no you wonder, cause I'm too damn nice to do that.......

Okay that definitely can't be the reason

“Okay then let's talk,” I turn to look at him, he doesn't give up, let me just play along

“What do you want to talk about?”

“Uh the deep stuff,”

“Ooooh the deep stuff, like what?”

“Like what's your favourite colour?” wow so deep.

“Oh-uh you've over stepped the line there,” I joke and he laughs

“But seriously though what is it?”

It doesn't take me long to answer, it was clear to me which colour I've grown to love in a short space of time,“Grey.......and what's yours?”

It would've been weird if I didn't ask him back

“Orange,”

Please not be the orange I'm thinking of,“Like Effie’s hair,” that would be a unique favourite colour

“Oh no no not that orange like um sunset orange,” oh that's nice

The professor walks in finally ending our oddly nice conversation.

Even when he would tap my shoulder I'd act as if I'm too busy paying attention to notice and when the class was over I quickly got out not giving Malcom the chance to come talk to me again.

I don't know but I quite love my small circle of friends don't really need more, I learnt that lesson the hard way.

I head to the dining hall knowing that's where my friends are and when I see every girl eating healthy that's when I remember that it's a Tuesday......fuck.

I sit down with the others not bothering getting food. I notice Damon's not there but before I can question that Camilla is already asking why I didn't get food.

“I’m not hungry,” I say and they all look at me funny

“You, Van, is not hungry?” Tyler says shocked

“Yeah?”

“I’ll go get it,” Connor says standing up

“I don't eat all the time okay? I have my limits,” why am I lying to myself

“Says the girl who ate a whole box of pizza by herself just to say she's hungry right after,” Josh says exposing me

“Well um uhh oh—fuck off,” I mutter causing him to laugh

Connor come back with my food and it's a salad. I turn to glare at him and he makes a weird hand gesture telling me check under which I do.

I fucking love Connor.

I mouth a thank you to him before digging in.

“Where’s Damon?” I ask with my mouth full much to Adam's disgust

And mine too

“Oh he said he needed to speak with somebody, I think he's next to that physics class,”

I nod, I'll go check as soon as I finish my food

“I feel like Josh is a lollipop triple dipped in psycho,” I say out of the blue

“Where did that come from?”

“I could've sworn I was dipped atleast ten times,” Josh says the same time Drew asks that question

“I very much think you need to be in a mental asylum,” Adam says looking at me

I gasp offended,“Well I'll have you know that I have thought of that but I quickly took a good look at everyone around and realized.....maybe I already am,”

“But I’m not crazy,” Drew says

“Thats what a crazy person would say,” Connor says pointing at Drew with a french fry before eating it

“See Drew, be like the rest of us who've accepted it,” I tease

“But I'm not—,” Josh cuts him off by patting his head and by the look Drew gives him you'd clearly know he's getting pissed, a normal person would stop a Josh though would slap him and run......and that's exactly what he did.

“You fucking come here,” Drew says running out of the dining hall following Josh

“And that ladies and gentlemen is the end of Josh Reed,” Connor says and we all burst out laughing

“Okay I'll see you guys later?”

After I receive bye’s in return I head out and go to the physics class, hopefully Damon's still there

When I'm close to reaching it I see Damon talking to a blue haired girl standing rather close too, they're speaking in hushed tones

I walk a little bit closer and they still don't notice me but I start hearing what they're talking about

“Did you get the roses I sent you,” Damon says.......roses?!

“Oh yeah I did, beautiful by the way, and I booked the hotel room and got everything ready even the champagne,” what?

“You are amazing,” what the fuck is happening

“So it's a date?”

“Definitely,”

He's he's— what the fuck

I slowly start walking backwards and that's when my trainers decide to make a squeaking sound drawing the attention towards me.

“Oh uhh Vanessa,” he says shocked nervously glancing at blue haired girl before looking back at me,“What a-are you doing here,”

Is that all he can fucking say

“Go fuck off Damon,” I say right as one tear falls out of my eye but I quickly wipe it away

“What d—”

I turn around and run quickly not waiting to hear what he says and once I reach a crowd of people I start walking in a fast pace so I don't draw attention to myself, I try so hard not cry infront of everyone here

Someone grabs my wrist and I look up at the person to see Malcolm.

“Vanessa what's wrong,” the way he says my name

I fucking hate it

“Nothing,” I say attempting to smile but I know I'm failing hard

“You can talk to me you know?”

“Look I don't want to sound rude but I just fucking met you today , sure one good conversation it doesn't mean shit we're not friends and I will not confide in someone I don't know,” I say my voice breaking at the end

I've done it once...hated it and it's not happening again

I pull my hand away from his and continue walking towards the library. I make sure no one looking as I go up to my woman cave.

Why the fuck would he do that?

A tear falls down my face and more follow, it's then I see that I liked Damon a lot more than I realized.....
