Chapter 6 BIG 2.0 DAMIEN'S CONFESSIONS

A whole lot happened for the rest of the year, and it was basically the same whole process over and over again, and soon after a new year came and it was time for my twentieth birthday. I knew what to expect on this day. because it's been basically the same process over and over again.

Damien wasn't home and while I waited for him, I started thinking "wow, so I'm 20? I'm no longer a teenager but now an adult...fingers crossed, I really do hope Damien plans something different from the past years tho".

Damien came back by 7:00pm with a massive cake, a lot of junk foods and beers. he set up everything in his room, I was a bit disappointed because I already knew we were about to repeat the same things we do every year which were basically, Damien singing me a happy birthday song, cutting my cake, watching movies together and rounding it off with sex.

Damien left to go set everything up in his room, while I sat on the sofa feeling disappointed, he came back 30 minutes later and handed me a small bag and told me to go get ready, I collected the bag, and then looked at him for the first time since he came home that evening and noticed he had a light smile on his face after he handed me the bad, he seemed overly happy than usual and I asked myself why he was smiling like it was his birthday. I collected the bag and thanked him before leaving to go to my room to go get ready.

I went to have my bathe, I had forgotten about Damien's gift and was about putting on a light night wear, then I spotted the bag on my bedside table and decided to take a look at the content of the bag.

When I saw the content of the bag, I was left speechless, inside the bag was the most beautiful and sexiest night wear I'd ever seen, I decided to try it on and the beautiful black color really complemented my light skin and hazel eyes, I put on my slippers and headed to Damien's room.

Upon arriving his room, he was just getting out of the shower and I froze in my steps when I saw him, he had a towel hanging around his waist and another in his hands which he was using to dry his wet long hair, and for the first time, I actually paid attention to every detail of his body, I notice how extremely handsome he was

I was busy admiring him, when he turned around and saw me he froze for a moment, I saw something in his eyes that I'd never seen before, he dropped the towel he was using to dry his hair and started walking towards me while water was still driving down his hair, I didn't know what was going on at that moment but everything felt so surreal and I loved it. he finally got to where I was and with a very loving voice eyes and husky voice he said "you look so beautiful aleisha, thank you for putting it on" he then leaned in and I closed my eyes expecting a kiss but he just used his hands to touch my lips and smiled to himself saying "not yet princess, go get comfy while I put on something"

I did as I was told and went to sit on the bed, using the duvet to cover myself up to the waist! and Damien went to get dressed and later came out in boxers and singlets. he than sang me a happy birthday song before joining me in the bed, I cut my cake and we each had a piece, then he put on a movie and while we were watching, I started thinking about all our sexual escapades and it made me horny, I started moving my legs uncontrollably under the duvet and then turned to him, he understood what I wanted and then transferred all the food on the bed to the centre table, turned off the TV, and then joined me on the bed.

That night was the most passionate sex I'd ever had, Damien kept staring and while he was riding me and at some point what he said brought me back to my senses, while he was on top of me pounding and moaning, he suddenly blurted out "I love you aleisha" I stopped moaning and looked in his eyes and saw that he really meant it....that didn't come from a place of lust at all. the last time I heard those words were when my parents were still alive. i stared at him a while longer before kissing him and we had sex till late in the night, thanks to the Viagra he bought, he lasted longer but I just was never satisfied but A for effort I guess, we finally slept off and woke up at around 10 in the morning.

After we went about our day, Damien called me and said he wanted to have a talk with me, we both sat down in the living room and then he started "aleisha, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now" I asked what it was and he stared at me then continued "right from the first day I took you in, I've always felt a string connection towards you, initially I thought it was because you're my sister's child but after the first night I had sex with you I realized that there was more to it, I'm not proud of taking your virginity and that too at a very young age, and I'm not proud of myself for wanting you more and more after the first night, but you can't blame me...can you? I really love you aleisha, I've asked myself if what I feel towards you is real love and not lust. and I'm certain that it's love aleisha, as you know I don't have great history with women, but for you I'm more than willing to make a change aleisha, I want to stop seeing you as my deceased sister's child but my partner, I want to love you, cherish you, protect you, have a future with you, the areas where I failed as a partner to other women, I want to correct them with you by my side, so all I'm really asking for is a chance aleisha, let me love you please, just give me a chance" all the while he spoke, I sat the staring at him speechless, he noticed and said "darling, I won't rush you...you have all the time in the world, I want you to take your time and think about it before giving me an answer" and with that he left to go meet up with some friends. while I sat there with a million thoughts in my head.
