C9 Something is wrong!!!!

It’s been a few days ever since Damien confessed his interest in me and things between us changed to a whole other level. He did ask me to give him a chance and be his but I wasn’t sure of what l was feeling so I asked him to give me some time, and of course Damien being Damien, he refused to give me time and instead suggested from that day onwards, he would pursue me openly and let everyone know what his intentions towards me were.

Of course I strongly disagreed but would he listen? Everyday in the morning he would knock on my door and give me flowers. His been doing that like literally everyday!! He would pick me up from my room everyday to go have breakfast and won’t let me do anything but sit down and wait for him to serve me. I admit I was touched but at the same time it felt so embarrassing for Mr.Smith’s only son to serve me like my personal servant and bodyguard.

And it also it felt so uncomfortable to be stared at by the other kids with envy and ridicule. I tried to explain to Damien that him acting like this won’t do his reputation any good but did he care??? No he didn’t. He said that this is his way of showing his affection towards me so who am l to refuse such treatment, I too would like to be treated with love and care. Even if for a few seconds.

“From earth to space from earth to space, Nora my love a penny for your thoughts.” He smiled will poking my head.

“Stop poking my head Damien!!!! And am not your love (not yet).” I thought shyly then why are you blushing hmm hmm? You like me calling you that don’t you.” He chuckled loudly.

I brushed his hands off my shoulders and started looking for Flora but she was no where to be found.

Ever since the day Damien confessed, just like everyone else she too was acting weird. Every time I try to talk to her, she would find an excuse and flee from me. It almost felt like she was trying so hard to ignore me. I caught her red handed a few times glaring, but when she realizes it, she would quickly avoid my gaze and look away.

“Damien……When was the last time you talked to Flora? Cause it seems like she’s been trying very hard lately to avoid talking to me and l really don’t know what l did wrong.”

“Who cares if she doesn’t talk to you huh!!! Am here aren’t I, just focus on me and enjoy my company sweetheart.”

I sigh with frustration. His actions at this point towards Flora are really pissing me off, weren’t they already friends? How can he not be worried about her.

I look at the food Damien bought and l instantly lost my appetite. Am really worried about Flora, is she sick?

“What’s wrong, you don’t like it?? ….should l get you something else.”

“Am not hungry Damien, am just really worried about Flora. I don’t know what’s going on with her and why don’t you go and find out she’s our friend you know!! And your literally acting like you don’t care.”

“Listen Nora, it’s not like I don’t care but surprisingly I do cause she our friend, my friend. But you also know Flora is a tough cookie, it would be very hard for us to make her spill the beans, let us give her time and if she’s ready she would come out on her own okay.”

I thought about what he said and it did make sense. If she really wanted to talk about what was going on with her, she would have but she didn’t not yet .

“And also am not letting you get out of this dinning hall without having any breakfast so you wait here my princesses am going to get you something light, maybe some soup will do?? Just give me a sec I will be right back.”

“Okay Damien.” I smiled feeling in a lighter mood.

The moment Damien left our table, I saw Flora entering the dinning hall with her head down low looking so tired and sad. I waited for her thinking she would come and sit with me as usual but she didn’t, she just walked past me and sat at a different table looking so lonely and fragile.

“Flora, what is wrong with you???” I thought
