sex-me boss.

When Olivia reached Damon’s relaxation room, she looked at him and saw that he was unrecognizable. She was certainly in the same situation, but he looked as much in pain as she was, whereas she’d expected him to be happy for having added her to his roster.

-So, is this place warm? she said to get his attention.

At the sound of her voice, Damon turned and was relieved to see her alive. She had dark circles under her eyes, but all that mattered to him was that she was alive. He stood up and began to walk forward, watched by James and Tyler, who didn’t understand a thing.

When Damon got closer to her, he raised his hands to touch her when she did a few backward steps to escape his touch; she was astonished to see him in handcuffs, even if he was a monster, he was far from being a delinquent. She thought it was an exaggeration that he’d been handcuffed.

-Are you all right, Olivia?

-I’m having a blast, as you can see,” she replied dryly.

Damon closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. He knew he’d had to expect this behavior from her; he’d hurt her and he’d only get what he deserved, but he at least wished she’d taken just a few minutes to listen to him.

-Olivia I’m really sorry, you understand, I’m really sorry for everything and…

-You keep your apologies to yourself Damon, I didn’t come here because I wanted to but I just wanted to reassure the police that nature hadn’t multiplied me by two so that I’d gone missing that’s all, so now that I’m reassured that it was just a misunderstanding, I can leave now.

-Olivia, please listen to me for a few minutes.

-I don’t want to hear anything from you, Damon, and I’ve told you, keep your excuses to yourself, don’t tire yourself out for nothing.

James couldn’t bear to see Damon so vulnerable when he was the rebel among them. He’d never thought he’d see him begging a woman, yet she was even having fun putting him off. He stood up and moved to stand behind Olivia, which freaked her out. She didn’t know him well enough, and the look on his face didn’t reassure her.

-So you came to find out if nature had multiplied you and now that you know it hasn’t, you want to leave; Damon Dixon is begging you to listen to him for a second and you’re being a bitch. Do you know what we’ve missed all day because of you?. I had to cancel an important outing because your friend threatened to sue Damon and here we are. You’re going to stop playing the capricious girl and get down here very quickly, because if you don’t, I’m going to do it myself.

Her voice was filled with anger and Olivia trembled. She had Maggie as a bodyguard to defend her, but she could see that her defense would amount to nothing compared to Damon’s. She didn’t know that this whole affair was going to go on for a long time. She had no idea that this story of her disappearance had made the world wake up so much.

-Don’t you dare talk to her like that, James,” Damon had said without taking his eyes off her.

She was surprised, she hadn’t expected him to defend her at a time like this when he was supposed to be angry; she didn’t understand him anymore, she didn’t know if the Damon Dixon she knew had metamorphosed or something else, but the one she had in front of her wasn’t the same.

-You don’t know exactly what you’re losing, like your partners for example, and you’re asking me not to talk to her like that? She could have found a better way to come here than to play sarcastic irony, you know?

Olivia understood that she’d pushed things a little too far, but it wasn’t her fault that he’d hurt her without thinking about her. She looked at James and he asked her to disappear, which was perhaps the best thing to do.

-I’m sorry about what happened with my friend Damon, she’s going to withdraw her complaint and I hope that after that, you won’t be playing the psychopath again, spending your nights on my doorstep. Adieu.

-No, Olivia, you can’t leave without listening to me.

-Damon, she wants to leave, doesn’t she? Let her go, I assure you you’ll get on with your life once you’re out of here, and she won’t even figure in your memories.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

-That’s right,” Damon replied with conviction. Good-bye, Olivia Turner.

She couldn’t bear the fact that he’d just said goodbye to her too, so earnestly; she didn’t want him to forget her, but so as not to make herself look like a girl who’d been longing for her, she walked out of there knowing it wouldn’t be long before she burst into tears.
