Chapter 24

Erica's POV

I peeled my eyelids slowly to see that I was surrounded by health workers, the sound of police sirens filled the air as the blue and red lights illuminate the night.

"hello miss, how are you feeling?" a nurse asked me.

"I feel fine, thanks" I replied trying to take in what's happening around me.

" please can you tell me your name"

"my name is Erica Williams"

"do you know where you are?"

"yes"I said suddenly embarrassed by what I was wearing

"OK. Can you feel your legs" as they massage my foot,

"yes"

"Good, Thank you so much" she said as she stood up and walked away. I looked around and saw that Damian was standing with some officers, I tried standing up that was when I remember I had a kneel injury that has now been bandage. It didn't hurt much, the stings were just overwhelming.

I looked over to where Damian was standing and I caught a glimpse of him looking at me, he immediately looked away. He must be disappointed and angry, but how do I explain that I never intended to cheat on him, he must think low of me and the way I was dressing didn't help issue.

"Erica" someone called out, I turned to see that it was Lucas coming over to where I was.

"put this on" he said as he hands me a black leather jacket. it was big and it made me feel warmer.

"How is Philip?" I asked since I have not seen any sign of him.

"He is alive, he has been taken in for emergency surgery, it happens that he has been on the security radar for a long time. So I guess its thanks to you that they finally got him"

"Are they taking me to the station, I asked.

"no, your boyfriend is doing all he can to savage the situation.

"He is not my boyfriend, he probably hates my guts right now" I said looking at the serious minded Damian.

"Well I will leave that to you both to figure out. he said smiling.

thank you. I said.

He looked at me and said " I'm not the one you should be thanking, Erica you know I have not really said anything since you guys started this your issue or what ever you have going on right now, but I can say something for sure.

That guy right there" directing his attention to Damian as he speaks "loves you a whole lot"

"I just hope I have not messed things up with my actions tonight"

"time heals all wounds they say" Just then, a cab pulled over and Beatrice came running came down and was looking around till Lucas beckoned on her.

She ran over to where we were and hugged me tightly. "I'm so glad you are OK"

"guys we should be on our way" Damian said trying to avoid my gaze.

"Thanks Damian, for coming through for my friend" Beatrice said, Damian looked at her and said

"anytime"

"Can I talk with you alone". I said referring to Damian.

"I'm sure whatever you have to say can wait till we get to the hotel" He said looking straight into my eyes.

I got down from where I was sitting and noticed my kneel didn't hurt as much as it did earlier.

" so what's the plan" Lucas asked as we move closer to the cars.

Damian's POV

Its been a crazy night, I have never see anything like what I witness tonight, and the overwhelming need to protect this girl is almost too much to handle.

I had so much on mind to tell her, I was still angry with her, she nearly got herself killed tonight. All through our ride I tried not to say a single word to her, I also noticed she had lot on her mind but I didn't want to indulge her.

If she can afford to disobey me to go out with a complete stranger on a date, then she can afford to stand my silent treatment. Its about time I teach her a lesson she would not forget in a hurry.

I watched as she moved her lips but nothing came out, I wish I could hold her, tell her not to be afraid, cuddle her and make feel safe.

"I'm sorry" I heard her mumbled, but I ignored pretending not to have heard.

When we finally got to the hotel Lucas booked, we all went in, I could sense her reluctant but I just ignored and went ahead to the bar to get myself a drink. She sat down looking at me like a lost puppy.

Lucas came and hand over the keys to them, so they can go in. She stood up and went in followed by Beatrice. Lucas walked over to where I was standing and got himself a drink from the bar man.

"What's up?" he asked I just looked at him and signed. "I have ordered for our meals to be delivered to our rooms" he said.

"I don't know how I feel and I don't even understand myself anymore. She drives me crazy" I said, taking a deep breath.

"You should tell her. At least she is not as crazy as mine" As we both laughed.

"Yours is trouble, but I think she's got a pure heart. Come on, let's go and meet our not so gentle Ladies" Lucas said as we both laughed.

Erica's POV

I have been waiting for him to come so I can tell him how sorry I was, how I never intentionally wanted to hurt him. I was suppose to just make him jealous and that would be because he left me without an explanation.

I felt so ashamed of the decisions I made tonights, I don't want him to be disappointed at me.

It's been over one hour and still he is not back. Maybe he is not Coming, perhaps he got another room for himself? He looked very angry while we were in the car. I should never have accepted to stay in the same room with him today.

What if he is with another girl now as payback? I need to go look for Beatrice, so we can both head back to our hostel. But she might be with Lucas. It would be selfish of me to ask her to go back with me to campus. I can just sneak out and find my way around.

Great idea!

As I make my way to the door, I heard footsteps as the door opens, and before Damian walks in, I tiptoed quickly into the bathroom to run the shower pretending to be having my bath.

Planned on using the shower as an excuse till he calms down of which I plan to be a billion years later actually.

within seconds the bathroom door flank opened with Damian staring at me in the most intense manner.

He moved over to where I was standing as my foots retract backward till I felt water from the shower flow through my skin, and that made me whimper a little. His height towering over me.

With one hand he held my hands above my head. My breath became heavy as my breast rise and fall with every breath I took.

The water splashed on his well contoured faced and run down his lips, I felt heat rush down from my sweet arousal as he buried his head on my neck and bite it, giving me a painful sweetness. With his free hand he pushed my waist to himself.

"I'm sorry" I mumbled as his lips came crashing upon mine, the taste of alcohol still evident on his Lips and tongue.

He lifted me from the floor as he slammed my back against the wall, while our tongue battles for supremacy.

"Tell me what you want Erica". He demands as his hand work over my already wet body. His voice filled with desire.

my hips grinds around his waist as I feel his dick harden. I try to form words but all sounded incoherent even to my own ears.

"There are consequences for disobeying me Erica" he said as he slides one of his fingers inside my Pant. "so you think are all grown up right? Tonight I am going to teach you what it takes to be a grown up woman"

he said, his voice enticing and daring, making want more of him.

Teach me
