Chapter 5
- Daisy's POV
- Andrew drove Maria and me to the party. The music was loud as always and I had to adjust to the loudness. Maria greeted some of her friends from other schools and I did the same, even though I had never seen their faces before.
- "You must be Daisy?", a pretty girl asked me.
- I nodded and she smiled looking at me from head to toe. "You are beautiful and I love your dress."
- "Thank you", I smiled in appreciation.
- It was a pink dress. It was among the clothes Dad bought for me from Florida, which I rarely wore.
- We ventured into the house and I saw Stanley approaching with a smirk. "You came?"
- "Yes, any problem with that?", Maria questioned with an eye roll and dragged me in the other direction. "I heard he is dating Becky now", Maria announced.
- "Becky? What is she doing with a playboy like him?"
- "Just to get f***** I guess."
- "Becky is impossible", I muttered, remembering the way she was rocking her body on his on the graduation day.
- "It ain't her fault", Maria uttered.
- "Whose fault is it, then?" I asked with a grimace.
- "The fault of the charming prince whose charms are hard to resist."
- "Even you?" I couldn't believe Maria would find Stanley attractive.
- "Nope,'' she laughed. " But I appreciate a good thing when I see one. He has a big beast too."
- "Maria?" I called. I should have known that was what she meant when she called him charming. I wondered when she was going to change for good.
- "What?" She stopped to look at me.
- "Nothing", I replied and kept moving. The house was really large. Stanley must be from a wealthy family, I thought to myself.
- "Eric", Maria waved at Eric who was talking to one of our classmates named Mike. Eric came towards us and we exchanged pleasantries.
- "How are you, Daisy?" He inquired.
- "I'm great", I answered with a smile.
- "You didn't tell me you were coming, I would have come to pick you up", he said to Maria.
- I could sense the tension between them. There were outspoken words of hurt, heart breaks, and unshed tears. Eric loved her. I could see it in his eyes.
- Who wouldn't love a crazy being like Maria? She's got the vibes, the shape, and the looks. Since they've been together, I haven't seen Eric with any other woman.
- I was about to wander away to give them some privacy to talk when Eric spoke up, breaking the awkward silence between us. "Babe, can we talk in private?"
- "Sure", she replied. Maria was back to smiling. I could see how hard it was to plaster such a fake smile on her face. Eric walked away after giving me a cute smile.
- "I'll be back soon, Dee-dee. Mingle with our friends while I'm away."
- "I just hope you two won't have sex again in the bathroom while I am here alone", I whispered into her ears.
- She grinned and whispered back. " It wouldn't hurt to have a goodbye sex. She walked away as I opened my mouth agape. If there was any word like extraordinary craziness, that word suits Maria best. She doesn't cease to amaze me all the time.
- "Look who we have here", a familiar voice that sent a tingling sensation all over me said. I turned to see him. The guy from the other night. He smiled at me while I looked away. The memories made me embarrassed.
- "Are you ignoring me?"
- I didn't answer him. How was I supposed to face a man I had sex with just two days ago, that was the thought on my mind. I was angry at him but seeing him again brought a feeling I couldn't explain.
- "Are you holding grudges against me, Daisy?" He questioned again.
- So he knows my name, I thought.
- "Daisy", he called again and I loved the way he called my name.
- "You......", I couldn't find the right word to say.
- "I'm sorry for whatever I must have done", he apologized. He must have felt bad for having sex with me when I told him I wasn't ready.
- "Apology not accepted", I responded and walked away, far from where he stood.

- Damien's POV
- I watched silently till she was out of sight. So now, you want to play hard to get? I thought.
- To my greatest surprise, it turned me on. Why the hell is she mad at me? I haven't been able to get her out of my head since that night. I fucking loved the feeling of her soft luscious lips on mine.
- Everything about her was arousing, even the thought of her. I tried to get rid of the thoughts but the harder it became. She filled my night dreams and I always wake up with sweats.
- I had never felt that way before with any girl. Not even Vivian, my first love.
- Jessica, one of my classmate visited me a week after my lovemaking with Daisy and we ended up having sex. I called Daisy's name while having sex with Jessica. Jessica got mad at me and left. I didn't run after her. She was the least of my problems.
- I thought sex with Jessica would erase the memories that lingered but it didn't. I began to love the memories, except for the dirty slap I received from her. It hurt like hell. I was shocked and dumbfounded when she did that.
- We both enjoyed it, didn't we?" I asked no one in particular.
- My subconscious screamed. "She was against having sex. That was what you did wrong. It was more like a rape."
- "Well, that's true but it wasn't my fault", I grinned. "I was teaching her what it means to be a woman. She was willing to learn."
- I was glad I was the lucky one to pop her cherry.
- I tried to drink as much alcohol as I could that night, just to get rid of her thoughts and concentrate on the party but it was a disaster.

- Daisy's POV
- "Stupid fellow", I muttered, even though deep down, I was happy to see him.
- I began to feel a tingling sensation in my private part and I cursed. I wasn't happy he was having that much effect on me.
- I drank a lot of alcohol and I found out I was tipsy when I staggered, on my way to the restroom. I got to the restroom successfully and I puked. I assumed it was because of the alcohol I took.
- After washing my mouth, I urinated and was about to go out when Stanley entered with a smirk. He must have seen me going in and followed.
- "Hello baby girl", he grinned mischievously.
- "Get out my way, Stan", I uttered, half-yelling as I approached the door.
- "Not so fast", he blocked my way and I moved back in fear. I kept moving back and he followed till my back hit the wall. He pinned me down with both hands on the side of my face.
- "You dare reject me? Who will save you now? Nobody rejects me Daisy", he grabbed my hand.
- "I can decide to reject or accept, it's my life", I retorted. I didn't know where the courage came from. But I was damn scared.
- "Really? Then let's see who will save you now. I know Maria will drag you down here", he said and removed his belt.
- I was still tipsy as I tried to think of how to get out of the place. The restroom was a bit far from the main building where the party was taking place. Even if I scream, no one would hear me. He had removed his trousers and he yanked at my clothing, tearing my precious gown.
- I gasped and kicked him in the groin. Then I ran to the door, holding onto my dress.

- Damien's POV
- I drank way too much and I began to feel pressed. I tried to find my way to the restroom which was detached from the main building when I bumped into a lady as I staggered.
- "Sorry", I said and the lady winked at me. I shook my head.
- I got to the restroom and entered, unbuckled my belt, and urinated. I felt relieved immediately I was done. I buckled up again. Then I walked out and staggered back to the main building.
- I was almost in the building when I remembered I left my phone in the restroom. I cursed under my breath before turning to go back to go to the toilet again.
- When I got there, I heard the ringing sound of my phone. My eyes landed on it and I picked it up from where I dropped it.
- I was about to go out when I heard the groan of a male from the other bathroom. It was coming from the ladies and I chuckled and thought to myself, `` Having a quickie in the toilet sounds like a nice idea."
- I got out and was about to walk away when I heard the voice that turns me on, even in my dreams.
- "Let go of me, you bastard", she yelled.
- I didn't need a second invitation as I barged into the ladies. I saw Stanley, the head boy of Daisy's school pinning her to the floor as she kicked her legs in the air in protest. She was already in tears. I pushed Stanley off her and threw him a few punches in the face.
- "Damien, stay the hell out of this", he said, spitting out blood as Daisy quickly stood behind me.
- "Why should I?" I demanded. I was damn furious.
- "Why should you?" He chuckled. "It's none of your business, or is it?"
- "Yes, it is. Daisy is my girl and nobody touches my girl, except me", I knew I sounded stupid. But I was too angry to think of something else to say.
- "What? So you've been f****** her?" He said and looked behind me at the crying Daisy.
- "It's none of your business, or is it?" I repeated his words. "Daisy, let's get out of here", I said to her as she held onto my arm.
- "Not so fast. This is my party and I get what I want", Stanley stood in my way, ready to fight me.
- "Daisy, stay outside", I shouted as I dodged his punch and kicked him. I punched his already bruised face and kicked his balls.
- "Shit", he cursed and slumped to the floor.
- I kicked him again and he cried out. "Stop it, please."
- I squatted beside him on the floor and grabbed his long hair. "Nobody messes with my girl."
- With that, I let go and ran out to see Daisy shivering in her torn dress.
- "Let's get out of her", I grabbed her hand but she stood still, shivering.
- "Are you cold? Should I carry you?" She shook her head and pointed at her torn dress. Her bra was exposed and the dress was barely covering her full boobs. I gulped and looked away.
- "Nobody will see you. This place is empty. Let's get you to the park. My car is outside.
- She nodded and took a step, almost falling to the ground. I quickly picked her up in bridal style and ran out of the building. The gate leading outside the house was locked and there was no way to get her out.
- I saw a small gate at the far end.
- I dropped her and went to see if it was open. It was not locked so I went back to pick her up, after telling her to hide her face so those coming out from the main building wouldn't see her.
- I found my way to the parking lot and placed her down gently as I searched for my car key. I found it in the back pocket and opened the door. I carried her in before going to the driver's seat.
- When we were in, I sighed and stared at her face. She was looking beautiful, calm and innocent,
- "Daisy", I called. I guess she was still shaken. I held her hands and our eyes interlocked. "I'm sorry", she nodded.
- "I'm sorry about today and I'm sorry about the other day."
- She chuckled to my surprise. "So now, you've finally admitted what you did was wrong?"
- "As much as I don't want to, I admit I was wrong", she was quiet again.
- "Should I get you home?"
- "No", she blurted out sharply. "I came with my driver."
- "Ok. So how have you been?"
- "Great. You?"
- "Not too fine."
- "What happened?" She asked with concern.
- "Your thoughts filled my head. And the lovemaking." She kept quiet again. The silence lingered for a while before I summoned up the courage to kiss her.
- She was still as I did that and I was scared she would push me away but she didn't. I kissed her gently, tasting her peppermint breath.
- "F***", I cursed. I missed her scent. I raised her half gown down as she finally kissed me back.
- I moved to the back seat and beckoned to her. She was reluctant. I was crazy with desire. I wanted her.
- "Daisy", I called. Then she moved and went into my arms.
- I smiled happily and kissed her again. She kissed me back as I guided myself into her opening.
