He gave her a wide smile. “Had fun?” he asked as he approached herJoanna nodded with a frown on her face but once she raised her head she completely forgot what she was upset about. She burst out laughing, unable to control herself. Her hand flung to her stomach as her laughter increased. Damien chuckled nervously as he had no idea why she was laughing. He looked to his sides wondering what was making her laugh.“What’s funny?” he askedJoanna gestured for him to come closer to her. He did and she led him to the mirror that hung on the mirror at the side. Damien's hand subconsciously went to that spot the moment he saw what he looked like.

They both searched each other’s eyes before they finally turned their attention to Gabe who had his lips parted slightly. “You see? We are dating for real” Joanna told him“So you were cheating on me, wasn’t it?” Gabe tried to blame her “Get out,” Damien said after he was able to get himself back“You will not-”“Out Gabe” Joanna ordered, cutting Gabe shut“You two will regret this and I guarantee that,” Gabe said his final words before walking out the door, clutching his

Joanna held in all of her emotions until she was alone in her room. She jumped for joy and even squealed in excitement. She kissed him. She actually kissed him. When she went ahead to do what she did, she did not have in mind that it would be possible. It felt like it could never. It felt like he would stop her and even push her away but he did not.She kissed him and the only time their lips parted was when she took her lips away. He only stared at her without a word. The surprise on his face did not stay there for long. It disappeared as quickly as it came. Joanna would have taken that as a bad thing but she was in a good mood to even think of that.She acted that way in front of him to help herself not jump in joy in front of him. It was not time yet to tell him about her feelings. But she cannot help but feel the way she did.

Damien carefully took her to her room. Luckily she did not lock it so he had an easy access into her room. Gently, he placed her down, but just before he could move away from her body; she gripped then pulled him onto her body.“Joanna, I need to stand up,” he said softly, his lips so close to her face as he spokeHe was a strong man, but when it came to Joanna, he had to be very careful when dealing with her. He did not want to hurt her. Maybe she was just dreaming. He tried to take out his hand from underneath her body but she was firm on it so he chose to be comfortable for a few mintues before leaving her to have her rest.Quietly, he laid beside her and almost immediately she placed her head no his chest, her hand at the side. In shock, he stared at her. He did not say anything and just let her sleep. It was not that bad anyway; he thought to himself as he stared at the ceiling, counting down the minutes. That would be the best time for him to leave.On the other hand, Joanna’s l
