When no one was looking I slip out and went to the botanical garden, I know Alicia
was on to me and she is looking for anything that could be incriminating to be put on me, besides I had already taken up Rachel position of being Damon's other woman and she only had to confirm it.
The problem with this is both Damon and I were clueless as to what we were doing, today's conversation proved it. Damon might be a successful man in the business world due to his intellect but he lacks intelligence in relationships related matters.
A month with him has thought me he was a man who allows people ride him when it came to his personal life. He could neither choose what he wanted for himself rather he kept someone at his side who would, take Rachel for example.
Rachel at a point might had loved him.... I really don't know but she used the opportunity of taking control of his emotions.
Damon and I were both in a phase called the "it's complicated" stage. We didn't know what we had or shared, cause while I was battling with my emotions for Xander, Damon on the other hand was still holding on to the fact that he was betrayed.
Though getting to know Damon has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride, I didn't want it to end and so did he. We might be at a critical stage right now, we always found a way to calm each other down. And believe it when I say that Damon had grown on me, so much it was hard to let go.
Seeing him seating on a stool inside the garden more emotions started creeping in again, I knew in me that he wanted to let me go to avoid any confrontation like that of yesterday that would put me on a tight spot.
Yesterday I felt the pressure of being caught, assuming Damon hadn't who knows if it might've gotten worse.
"Hey" I said so he could recognize my presence, he didn't respond rather his eyes were stuck on my tummy which had grown an inch bigger overnight, he then look up at me.
Damon eyes looked tired, like he had been stressed about something. I didn't get to see it at breakfast because he didn't dare look at me especially when Alicia watchful gaze were on the both of us 24/7.
What got him so worked up? Did he spend all night thinking about the effect this might have had on me? Someone please tell me.....
Chiarn... "My Joury scheery utleinerntotrofiny traine, utter way tonecrosis sent shivers down my spine. This is the first time anyone in this mansion had called me by my second name. Damon was the only one who knew that name.
He took my hand into his large rough palm before he set those blue eyes on me. Damon relaxed my loose hair to the back of my ear, he slowly lifted my chin up to him. What was he doing?
Damon's fingers trailed it's way to my neck, he pressed his lips on it and kissed my temple. My whole body went weak.

"Shh" he whispered into my ear. "If you speak they would hear us" his voice echoed into my ear and I stopped talking choosing to go with the flow.
His lips slightly grazed mine, still teasing me he bit my lower lip before completely locking it in. The kiss was slow and steady yet so sizzling that I cried for more.
"Elizabeth" he groaned into my ear and my body stilled again. I pulled out of the kiss and slapped him on the face. It was clear that I wasn't in control of my emotions at this point, but you could agree with me that the slap was very much well deserved.
This was the third time he was taking me for his late wife. I turned my back at him and reached for the door but he was quick to close it back while locking it.
He apologized for something he said naturally. His facial expression showed that he meant it. I wasn't hurt that he called Elizabeth's name again the only problem is the fact that it always had to be me.
Not once has he ever heard me mention Xander's name while kissing him. "I am leaving for South Africa tomorrow and I couldn't leave without us defining what we are" he said after he believed I had forgiven him.
My response was blunt, straightforward and truthful, "I am the Surrogate and you are going to be the baby's dad, other than that there is absolutely nothing..... So please tell me if there is anything else to define" I stood there waiting for a response from him and I got nothing.
He only gave a nod in agreement to what I had just told him. Didn't I tell you he just couldn't decide for himself.
I know this isn't how I envisioned it would end, it was best it ended like this. There was this sigh of relief that escaped from my lips, I was now free.
Damon respected my decision even after he had returned from his trip. I did miss his constant checking up on me, his midnight visit, everything we did in secret.
I didn't realize how Xander was now gradually fading from me and all I could think of was Damon, the worst part is even in my dreams were occupied by him. Damon had now taken up a large part of my life without even realizing.
As the wedding drew closer, the more I was tempted to ruin it. I made that decision not only because it would benefit me but because it was right.
While Alicia and Beatriz were still discussing the wedding preparations, the police broke into the house with a warrant to arrest Damon for the alleged murder of Rachel. It was a nightmare.
