CHAPTER EIGHT.
Amy had just had dinner. She was lying on her bed, lost in the thoughts of the past. The past that she can't change no matter what and tears welled up in her eyes.she wasn't crying because she almost lost her life but because of the people who had betrayed her. They was Delvin on one hand and her family on the other, was she destined to suffer?. All this thoughts were running through her mind and she didn't know when a tall figure entered her room. He had just come from the shower and looked handsome as always, his hair was a bit disheveled giving off a flirty and sexy aura. He stood beside her bed for a while and watched her cry without any sound coming from her and his heart ripped into a thousand pieces.
"Why was she not telling him anything". He thought deep within himself as he lowered himself on the bed. When she noticed the pressure applied on the bed, she quickly regained herself and saw Damian sitting beside her, she quickly wiped her tears and gave a fake smile.
"You are here?" She asked, faking her smile again.
"It's okay Amy, you can cry it out." He consoled and drew her to a hug, "you can only show your venurablilty in front of me Amy. If you can't cry in front of me then in front of whom?" He asked lovingly, stroking her back.
As if that was the cue she needed and she burtst into hard bitter tears. For a year and half, this was the first she was crying because of the incident, her heart was ripped apart and she couldn't stop herself from crying. The tears kept falling in torrent and that moment, all Damian wanted to do was take all her pains away. It hurt him to see his woman cry like this, when he had all the capacity in the world to keep her safe.
"It's okay Amy" he said, still stroking her back. She had been crying for over fifteen minutes and now all he could hear was her sobs.
وو
Am sorry Damian, I ruined your shirt" she said, after raising her head and seeing the huge mess she had created.
He cupped her face in his hands," never apologize for things you have no control over Amy. I really want to take all your problems away and give you all the happiness in the world my love" he said in a serious voice.
She could see it in his eyes, the love he had for her and part of her was happy but then a thought came into her mind, "What If he turns out like Delvin?". Her face crumpled at the thought of that and she found herself moving away from him. "What happened Amy?" He asked in a suprise voice.
"Nothing' she replied, faking a smile again. She didn't want to get him involved in her messed up life, at least not yet.
"Talk to me Amy, what happened? You should not be hiding things, why did you move away from me?". He really wanted to know what was going on in her mind.
"I want to be alone right now Damian please, can you just give me some time?' she asked. She was trying hard to stop the tears from falling again but she couldn't and in a moment, it rolled down her almond shaped eyes and her long natural lashes fluttered close.
Damian didn't say anything, he just hugged her again. He knew more than wanting him to go away,she needed a shoulder to cry on.
"I promise to always protect you Amy" he muttered under his breath but loud enough for her to hear.
"He is such a jerk" she said amidst sobs as hot bitter tears rolled down her eyes, staining Damian's clothes again," he is really a jerk".
"Calm down love" he said, stroking her back lovingly. He wanted to know who this jerk was but it wasn't the right time to ask her yet, now was time to make her stop crying.
"Sorry" she muttered amidst sobs and hugged him tighter, she could feel his huge body and how her small frame fit into it perfectly, she felt protected.
"Do you want to go on a night drive?" He suddenly asked, after a while.
"Uhmmm" she nodded.
"Okay then, go get ready". He helped her wipe the tears off her face, "I no longer want to see tears on this beautiful face of yours'' saying that he kissed both her eyes lovingly and she felt loved.
She just remembered that, in all the years her and Delvin had been together, he has never really done much for her. She was always the one trying to do things for him and here was this man, they were not even really official yet and she was already feeling the love he has for her.
"Get ready Amy, I will go change" Damian stood up and left the room.

Once outside, the calm aura changed and he had a deadly look on his face. He was thinking who the jerk was that made his woman cry. Bringing out his phone, he called Rubby. "Hello boss" came Rubby's voice from the other end of the line, and it seemed like he was already sleeping when Damian's call came in.
"You have twenty minutes, find out if Amy was dating anyone before now".
"But why boss?" Rubby asked in an alarmed voice. If he didn't know Damian, he wouldn't have bothered but he knows what his boss is capable of.
"Do what I ask Rubby and stop asking me questions' he snapped and ended the call. He will deal with the jerk later but now he has to carry his beloved out on a drive.
Few minutes later, She came downstairs. Dressed in a pair of casual trousers and shirt. Her hair was tied in a messy bun, apart from her swollen eyes, she looked really pretty.
"Ready?" He asked behind her and she turned and for a moment, she was mesmerized by this man's beauty. He wore a pair of denim trousers and a T-shirt. He didn't style his hair this time around, he just left it covering his face. "How come you are this pretty?" She asked. To her she thought about it in her mind until she saw Damian smile and she realized she said it out.
So you think I'm pretty?" He asked teasingly, moving close to her.
"It was just a slip of the tongue," she replied, looking away. She felt slightly embarrassed.
He chuckled," so you tell this to every handsome man you come across Amy?".

"Am not a pervert okay" she said and walked off, leaving him standing on the stairs and smiling. Truth be told, when he saw her, he wanted to badly grab her and kiss those Rosy lips until he noticed she was ogling at him and he decided to let her feast her eyes.
"Are you not coming again?" She yelled from the door.
On my way" he replied and rushed off to meet her.
The drive was not a long one and in a few minutes, they were already at their destination.
"What is this place?" Amy asked, she was still sitting in the car.
Just come with me" he answered and held her hand. They walked for a while and came to an open space.
"Wow" she muttered under her breath. The whole city of Californian night life was right in front of her. The tall buildings, the night lights, the busy road and the lovely sky were all in front of her.
"It's beautiful Damian" she said sincerely as she feasted her eyes.
"This is my favorite place in the world. Just the serenity of this place is already enough for me. Am glad you like it".
"Thanks for bringing me here Damian, I really feel at ease" she said and smiled, still looking at the view before her. It was really breathtaking.
Damian moved and intertwined his hands with hers as they enjoyed the view together. None of them said anything to each other but they understood the emotions they were both feeling.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"I promise to protect you from any one who wants to hurt you Amy" Damian said in a serious voice and she turned to him, she didn't say anything but that look in her eyes, he understood it well. She just moved closer and drew him to a kiss. He used the opportunity to draw her closer and encircle her waist as he slid his tongue inside her mouth and deepened the kiss.
