I am not an angel!
Authors pov
Damian stirred in his sleep and automatically his hand reached towards rose to hold her but the place beside him was empty, he opened his eyes and saw rose is not there, glancing at the clock he saw it's 6 in the morning.
He heard some noise from closet and walked towards it, opening the door he came face to face with rose who was standing there wearing only her bra and sweatpants. She gasped and quickly turned around holding the t-shirt close to her chest which she was holding in her hand.
He chuckled looking at her vulnerable condition..
"Sorry..."
He said not really meaning it...
She tried to wear her t-shirt quickly but failed and him standing there was not helping her either, he saw her struggling to wear the t-shirt, she was trying to lift her hand up but it was difficult to do it with stitched up hand and her hold was still not strong enough because of the drip...
"What are you doing? "
He asked confused leaning against the cabinet and crossing his arms over his chest, she hadn't took a bath and he can easily tell that then why is she changing her t-shirt didn't make any sense to him...
"My t-shirt got wet when I was washing my face so I am changing it..."
She answered, Her back was facing him, he noticed faint scars on her back which were almost unnoticeable if you were not watching it carefully...
"Do you need help, you are still struggling..."
He asked walking towards her...
"No, I will do it myself.... Thank you..."
She quickly responded...
"You should have understood it by now that I wasn't really asking, angel..."
He sighed, placing his hand on her shoulder he turned her around, she was holding her shirt tightly to hide her breasts...
"Sometimes I don't understand girls, you know... You wear bikinis and walk confidently among the people and on other hand gets too shy when you are standing in your bra, I don't get it why..."
She looked at him blankly, he snatched the t-shirt for her tight grip and gently sliding her hands in it he helped her to wear t-shirt...
"I am not shy, But you are my boss, I can't stand half naked in front of you..."
She reasoned...
"I have seen many women naked, yours is nothing different, angel..."
He said casually controlling himself from adding the sentence ' but yours is more attractive'.
She furrowed her eyebrows at his blunt reply making him chuckle...
"Why do you always call me angel?..."
She asked coldly, averting her eyes from him...
"Because I want to, do you have any problem..."
He stated mischievously...
"I am not an angel..."
She said looking anywhere but at him...
He grabbed her chin and brought her face close to his, leaning to her level...
"Trust me, you are to me..."
Her grey orbs stared confused at him and got lost in his deep blue oceans while he kept caressing her soft cheeks with his rough thumb...

Damian went to his office, and a doctor came to check on rose, he removed the drip from her hand making her sigh in relief...
After her dressing and checkup she went outside in the garden for a walk, stepping into the garden, fresh smell of flowers welcomed her, it was an amazing view to watch, few butterflies were dancing in the heavenly place.
from the way it was maintained she understood that her boss is nature lover, she took off her shoes and walked on the feather like soft grass barefoot, enjoying the gentle feeling which she hardly gets in her violent word...
She caressed the beautifully bloomed red rose, admiring it's beauty...
"Good morning Miss"
Emily gritted her, flashing her white teeth in front of rose...
"Good morning Emily..."
She greeted back averting her eyes from that beautiful flower to emily...
Emily turned crimson red when she heard her name from Rose's mouth, Emily was always submissive type and Rose's dominating behaviour attracts her towards rose like a magnet, even now she almost melted in front of rose when she heard her strong dominating voice...
"Did you like the garden?..."
Emily asked pushing her sinful thoughts aside...
"It's beautiful, specially the roses..."
Most of the flowers in the garden were roses, it was filled with roses of different colours...
"Yes, our boss love roses that's why he has hired experts to take care of this garden..."
Rose hummed in response and gently touched the black coloured rose...
"I am not lesbian Emily, stop looking at me like that, it's not good for you..."
Rose said still caressing the flower...
Emily was dumbfounded after hearing her words, she has never told her then how do she know about it...
"H..how you.. I...I mean..."
She stuttered, embarrassed and confused what to say...
"You think I won't notice how your eyes always follows me, the way you glared at that nurse, you always blush when you talk to me and keeps on trying to start a conversation and the way you peak in when I am doing my workout... It's enough to tell me that you are interested in me..."
She looked in her eyes which were now filled with shame and embarrassment...
"I am sorry..."
Emily apologized...
"Don't be... It's not your fault, just don't fall for a person you can't have, it hurts more than anything..."
Emily looked at her shocked, she never thought rose can say something emotional like this...
"How do you know, have you gone through it..."
She asked curiously...
Rose sighed not sure what to say...
"Everyone in their life goes through this once, the only thing that makes a difference is how they deal with it...
You don't have to be embarrassed, I am not judging you for anything, I don't have that right... Just don't waste your precious feelings on a person who don't deserve it, find someone who can actually make you happy..."
Emily smiled warmly at her words...
"Yes, I understand..."
Today she realised how much wrong Maisy was, Emily always believed that rose is not a monster and she is right...
Emily left after that and rose sat on the bench admiring the view...
"Beautiful isn't it ?"
She looked at the direction of manly voice she heard from behind...
She looked at the young man standing there smiling, he sat down beside her much closer to her liking so she shifted a bit...
"Hii, I am Roy and you are the mighty bodyguard, right?..."
He gave her a charming smile but like always rose kept her face straight unaffected by the charm he was throwing at her...
"Hii, I am Rose..."
She replied in her not so welcoming tone...
"You are beautiful, no wonder Damian hired you..."
He chuckled, roaming his eyes on her angelic face for too long...
"He hired me because I am capable enough, not because I am beautiful Mr. Roy..."
Roy raised his eyebrows at her harsh tone...
"Ohhkk, I didn't mean to offend you beautiful, calm down..."
He defended himself...
"Like boss like bodyguard, rude asses..."
He mumbled.
Which rose heard but ignored and looked straight completely avoiding him...
Roy bit his inner cheeks when he saw her cold behaviour,
'Till now every girl has fallen for my charm then what's wrong with her..."
He thought to himself..
"Well are you single or taken..."
He again tried to flirt...
"None of your business..."
She replied bluntly making Roy drop his jaw...
"Hey! I am the brother of your boss, be careful while talking to me, you can't disrespect me like this..."
He spat with clenched jaw...
"So, you demand respect just because your brother is boss here?... If yes, then i am sorry Mr. Roy don't expect it from me. I only respect boss and you are no one to me"
Her blunt words made his blood boil...
Roy stood up from there and walked inside angrily...
He saw Damian in the corridor talking on the phone, jack was there too, damian saw an angry Roy and disconnected the call...
"What happened Roy ?..."
"Dude, your bodyguard is rude as fuck, she insulted me, I don't like her..."
He said angrily and jack burst out laughing making Roy frown...
"Good, atleast I am not the only one here..."
Jack stopped laughing when damian glared at him...
"I am sure you would have said something stupid or tried to flirt with her Roy, don't do that she is not like other girls, and don't bother her she is injured, stay away from rose..."
Damian scolded him and Roy's jaw dropped...
"How can you take her side over mine, bro..."
He asked offended...
"Because I know her, she never talks like that until you provoke her, come on now... Stop acting like a kid and focus on work..."
Saying that damian head towards his office...
Roy scowled...
"What the fuck is wrong with him, since when did he started to defend a woman..."
Jack patted his shoulder consoling him...
"No one can understand your feelings better than me, man... Trust me..."
Both looked at each with sulking face...
*******
Damian was leaning against the table busy in reading the files when his office door got opened...
He frustratingly closed his eyes and looked at the person. A beautiful tall woman with model like slim figure was standing in front of him, her long blonde hair was falling on her back in perfect waves, she was wearing short white dress which was showing her cleavage and long slim legs, her makeup was on point highlighting her features perfectly and her red painted lips was curled in a arrogant smirk...
"Get out, knock on the door and then come in..."
Damian ordered her rudely unaffected by her beauty...
Her smirk dropped...
"I don't need permission to enter in the office of my soon to be fiance..."
She said arrogantly...
He scoffed at her overconfidence making her clench her jaw in frustration...
"If you are done wasting my time then fuck off..."
His voice was rude and filled with hate...
"Why do you always behave like this with me, I am from a reputed family too Damian knight, you can't just treat me like trash..."
She banged her fist on the table frustratingly...
He grabbed her throat and slammed her against the wall, his grip was not strong enough to cut her air supply, he just wanted to scare her not hurt her...
She struggled in his grip to free herself but failed miserably...
"Don't you fucking dare to throw your tantrums on me you bitch and don't test my patience, don't take my silence as my weakness... I am not going to marry you so stop showing off about it and save yourself from any further embarrassment..."
He spat angrily and pulled his hand away from her neck, leaving red marks behind...
"You can't kill me Damian I know that very well, you have to marry me, your father has given his word to my family..."
She spat back...
"Fine I will marry you but let me tell you, that day will be the last day of your life, if I can't kill you directly then I have thousands of another ways to get rid of you..."
He smirked evilly looking at her horrified expressions...
"Why can't you just accept it, what's wrong in me, I am a beautiful and successful model... Then what's the problem..."
She asked on verge of crying but didn't because she knows how much Damian hates crying girls....
"You are a bitch who just wants my power and money, I am not marrying a whore like you who have slept with half of the fashion industry to get where you are now..."
Her heart broke listening his harsh words...
She scoffed...
"Say's a man who himself fuck girls and throws them away like trash, if I am a whore then you are no less than a manwhore..."
He chuckled shamelessly at her words...
"Then why do you want to marry a manwhore, go and find someone else..."
He mocked her making her blood boil...
Natasha always wanted to marry damian because she was well aware of his power and status and by marrying him she wanted to rule the fashion industry and she thought she will easily wrap damian around her finger using her beauty but all her golden dreams crashed down when damian straight away rejected her, still she didn't give up. She asked his father to talk with damian's father about their marriage and due to her royal and reputed family Damian's father happily agreed which became a headache for damian...
********
It was 9 at night, rose was sitting on the bed scrolling through her mobile...
She heard the door opening voice and darted her eyes towards it, she thought it will be damian but she got confused as she faced a feminine figure standing in front her...
Natasha saw rose sitting on damian's bed and her insides started boiling in anger and jealousy...
"Who the fuck are you ?"
Rose frowned at her harsh tone...
"I am..."
She tried to say but natasha cut her in between...
"Ohh let me guess, must be his another whore..."
Rose gritted her jaw and controlled herself from smacking her face...
"Excuse me, I am not his whore and boss is not here you can come later if you want to meet him..."
She said calmly looking down at her phone making her scoff...
"Listen you bitch, you don't tell me what to do and what not and get out before Damian sees you in his bed, he don't like when girls sleep on his bed more than necessary, so fuck off and close the door while getting out..."
She said giving rose a mocking smile...
"So you are his girl for the night..."
Rose said sarcastically still scrolling in her phone unbothered to look at natasha...
"How dare you call me that, you bitch..."
Natasha strode towards her but rose stopped her saying...
"Think before you do something stupid and regret it later, I am his bodyguard not his whore unlike someone..."
Natasha stopped dead in her track when she heard the word bodyguard...
"You fucking servant how dare you disrespect me, just wait till I complaint to Damian, he will throw you out..."
She threatened rose who was still on the bed not giving two fucks about her bitchy attitude...
Suddenly the door opened and both girls saw damian coming in, he looked at natasha and rolled his eyes...
"Not again, damn it..."
He mumbled...
Rose was about to stand up and greet him but damian stopped her...
"Sit the fuck down, rose..."
His voice came out more rude than necessary and rose sat down quietly noticing that he is already on edge of loosing his temper...
"What kind of people are you hiring for yourself damian, she disrespected me calling me a whore and what is she doing on your bed..."
Natasha complained thinking that damian will take her side instead of his bodyguard...
Damian looked at rose shocked...
"Did you call her a whore, rose?..."
He asked making natasha smirk...
"No boss, I didn't..."
She said like an innocent child as she hasn't technically said the word and Natasha's eyes widened in disbelief hearing her lie...
"She is..."
Damian glared at natasha...
"Shut the fuck up and get out before I make you..."
"She is lying, she called me that, trust me..."
Natasha said in a pleading voice...
"Rose never curse natasha and I trust her... So stop creating a scene and get out..."
He took of his coat frustratingly and threw it on the chair...
"No, I am not going out and why is she in your bed..."
She demanded...
"Because she is staying with me and she sleeps with me in my arms the whole night..."
Damian deliberately explained in detail to hurt her ego...
Natasha's eyes watered at his words, she felt insulted...
Damian called his man inside...
"Throw her out and I don't want to see her in my wing again otherwise I will snap your neck first..."
He ordered...
That man nodded and dragged natasha outside, she turned her head towards rose, rose smirked and winked at her evilly rubbing salt on her wounds...
Damian showered and wore his sweatpants...
He came out and saw rose lost in the book, a small smile appeared on his lips when he saw her innocent face, she looks so innocent like a small kid whenever she sits quietly and too focused on something but he knows she is anything but innocent, his little bodyguard is a troublemaker and he is well aware of that...
*****
Damian dragged her sleeping form close to his chest by grabbing her waist careful not to hurt her wound, rose opened her eyes when she felt his hard chest against her back...
Damian nuzzled in her neck, he knew that she is awake. After all these days he realised that rose is a light sleeper and she wakes up quickly whenever he snuggles into her...
"I got so many complaints against you today, looks like you like getting in trouble, angel..."
He whispered in her ears making goosebumps crawl on her whole body...
"I didn't do anything, boss..."
She defended herself in an innocent voice...
Damian chuckled making a shiver run down her body...
"I know everything rose, don't forget this is my house..."
She closed her eyes clutching the bedsheet tightly when his wet lips brushed her neck while talking...
He smirked at her reaction...
"Still, I don't do that on purpose, only when it's necessary..."
She reasoned and tried to create some distance between them to overcome the weird feeling she was having...
"Hmm, I know..."
He closed his eyes dragging her even more closer making all her struggles go in vain...
