Damon did not keep his promise of not going overboard. I'm now the proud owner of the latest laptop, a new phone which he put me on his plan and a whole new wardrobe. How he knew my size is beyond me. He just kept piling stuff up on the counter for the lady to ring up. Once we got home, I asked for the receipts since he wouldn't let me see any of the prices at the mall nor would he give them to me. What did he do? He set them on fire right in the kitchen sink and he smiled at me while doing it. Who does that? A crazy person that's who. I'm not trying to sound ungrateful but he knows I wanted to pay my way. I never want him to think I'm taking advantage of him. He just waits. I'm going to get him back for this. He just might wake up one morning to find his bike full of glued-on pink sequins. Maybe I can even get the girls to help me. Faith can be devious in her pranks against Mason. After that whole debacle was over, he brought me into his home office. He set up my laptop, kissed me on my head, and left me alone. It's been over an hour and I was able to log into my email. Thank God I always send backup files when I save work. The one time I didn't, I lost everything and had to start over. I'm just putting the finishing touches on this cover then I'll be done. It feels so good to be able to finish this when I didn't think I ever would. The thought of even losing my clients gave me anxiety. Not being able to pay my bills or even buy food gave me a crippling fear. I hit send on the cover and let out a breath, so glad to have it done. I have a few others I have to do but they can wait as they aren't a rush. The door opens and I see Damon leaning against the door looking all hot without even trying.
“Are you still mad at me Sky?”
“I'm not mad Damon.” He lifts his eyebrows knowing I’m full of shit. “Okay, I'm not mad anymore. I appreciate what you did for me. I'm just not used to it all and I don't want you ever to think I'm taking advantage of you. Just maybe next time don't spend so much. I don't need the material things.” I know it's wishful thinking because if I know one thing about Damon, he is determined to give me the world. He pushes off the door and walks over to me, lifting me up and sitting down with me in his lap.
“I can't promise that Skylar. It makes me happy to be able to take care of you in any way I can. And if that's buying you shit, then I will. You're mine to take care of. I know you will never take advantage of me. That's not who you are. You don't have a mean bone in your body. Just give in, you know it's inevitable, If not, I'll just tickle you till you agree that I get to buy you shit when I want.”
“You wouldn't dare!” squinting my eyes at him, showing I mean business, he just smirks in response and I know that means I just threw down a challenge. Trying to scramble away he holds me still and lets loose, tickling me till I'm howling in laughter with tears running down my face. Who knew I was so ticklish. “Okay, I give in! No more!” It takes me a while to catch my breath. Damon has a smile on his face. He tucks my hair behind my ear.
“You're beautiful but when you're laughing and smiling, your whole face lights up. I only ever want you to be happy Sky. I love you so fucking much.”
“I love you too Damon.” Kissing me so full of passion that it lights up my whole body. I start to squirm in his lap. He pulls back, kissing me one last time before standing up with me. Placing me on my feet, he says.
“Why don't you head upstairs and get ready for our date? Dress in something casual we’ll leave once you're done.”
“Where are we going?” He's got mischief in his eyes so I know he's up to something.
“It's a surprise baby. You'll see when we get there.”
Knowing he won’t tell me anything, I walk out the door and rush up the stairs, excited to see what he has planned for the night. I know as long as I'm with him, anything that we do, I'll love.
Skylar
After rushing up the stairs to get ready, I jumped in the shower. Making quick work of scrubbing and shaving my body because I was too excited to see where we’re going to linger. Jumping out, I change into a pair of jeans and a black cold shoulder top with a black pair of ballet flats. I put my hair in double French braids to keep it out of my face. I was never one to wear a lot of makeup because one I couldn’t afford it and two I had no one to teach me. So I added some black liner, mascara, and a cherry red lip gloss. Looking at myself in the full-length mirror, I try not to get into my head too much with my doubts. Closing my eyes, I blow out a breath will the butterflies in my belly to go away. I tell myself I’ve got this and there’s nothing to be nervous about. It’s just Damon. Opening my eyes, I nearly jump ten feet in the air. Damon is standing right behind me trying to hold in his laughter at scaring me. I didn’t even hear him come in. I hold my hand to my chest and try to get my breathing under control. “Holy shit Damon! You scared me. I didn’t even hear you come in.”
“Sorry, years of habit having to mask my footsteps. You look beautiful.” He pulls me towards him, and gives me a kiss. Pulling back, he asks me if I’m ready to go. Despite how nervous I am, I'm so ready for tonight. I can’t wait to see where he’s taking me since he wouldn’t tell me.
“Ya, I’m ready.” We walk hand and hand down the stairs and outside. The sun is just starting to set. It's my favorite time of day. Watching the different colors move across the sky, I always found peace sitting outside at this time. Knowing that a new day is coming and the possibilities are endless. You just never know what tomorrow will bring you. He helps me into the truck and I secure my seatbelt and watch as Damon rounds the front. He’s wearing dark-washed jeans that mold to his ass and thick thighs, a black polo shirt, and his biker boots. His tattoos are on full display. I’ve always loved looking at people's tattoos. It's such a beautiful art form a way to express yourself. I’m just too chicken shit to ever get my own. I was never good with needles. Damon starts the truck and backs out heading to who knows where. “So, are you going to finally tell me where we are going?” He grabs my hand and kisses the back of it, laying it on his thigh. Every time he touches me, my body lights up wanting so much more but never knowing how to ask for it. Last night totally changed me. It felt like I died and went to heaven. It’s something I want to do again and I squirm in my seat just thinking about it.
“Nope, it’s a surprise so you’ll see when we get there. You okay over there? You're moving around a lot.”
“Oh ya, I'm good just trying to get comfortable.” My face goes red and my voice is a little too squeaky but he doesn’t call me out on my lie. I can feel how wet my panties are just thinking about the orgasm he gave me. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through this date if he continues with his little innocent touches. We aren’t driving long before he pulls into a parking lot packed full of cars. It takes me a minute to realize where we are. He shuts the engine off and turns to me waiting for my reaction. He brought me to a bowling alley. He's taking something off my bucket list. I can feel my eyes starting to water and will myself not to cry. I take a deep breath and turn to him.
“Are you ready to take the first thing off your bucket list, Sky? I figured we could bowl and have some food and drinks. What do you say?”
Squealing like a little girl, I throw my arms around him, peppering his face in kisses. “Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have no idea how excited I am right now. I can’t believe you did this for me.”
“I’d do anything for you Sky, anything. Come on, let's get inside. I reserved a lane for us. We can have the food and drinks brought to us.”
With an excited squeal, I fling open my door and hop down, almost landing on my ass in my excitement. I can hear Damon laughing as he gets out. Grabbing his hand, I practically drag him inside. As I try to take everything in, he leads us to the front counter, tells them his name, and gets our shoes. We walk to our lane and hands me my shoes. I put them on, not sure what to do next. Damon gets up to the computer and puts our names in. Walking over to the balls, I pick up a pink one not too heavy. Holding it I turn to Damon and he has a smile on his face.
“Do you know what to do sweetheart?”
Scrunching up my nose I say, “I think so, you just have to knock down all the pins right?”
“More or less. The object of the game is to get a strike. Go ahead, you’re up.”
Walking up to the lane I place my feet on the line. “Okay, ball do your thing.” Yes, I’m talking to the ball hoping it helps. I pull back my arm and let go. Watching it sail down the lane, It hits dead center and knocks down nine pins and has the last one wobbling. It finally hits the floor. Screaming while jumping up and down, I turn towards Damon who has a big smile on his face. “OMG! Did you see that? I did it.”
“Congrats baby, I knew you could do it. Now sit down and watch the pro.” Winking at me, he walks to the lane with a swagger in his step making me laugh. He lets his ball fly down much harder and faster than I did but only manages to knock down two of them. At this point I’m laughing so much I’m crying by the putout look on his face. At this point, you can’t take the smile off my face. Two hours later I’m stuffed from all the food we ate. I actually beat Damon. Well at least he let me win, even though he says he didn’t. Tonight was one of the best nights in my life. I haven’t laughed so hard in my life and it’s all because of him and the love he has for me. He says he wants to give me the world but right here tonight he gave me something more. He showed me what it’s like to experience things that I always wanted to do but never could. While people my age were getting out and having fun, I was left to work while my parents drank the day away. Walking over to him, I throw my arms around him trying to show how much this night meant to me. We’re standing in front of the truck and before getting in I tell him, “Thank you so much Damon. I had an amazing time tonight. It was one of the best nights of my life.” Lifting up, I place a kiss on his lips. He growls low in his chest, grabs my ass, and kisses me like a man possessed. I open up for him. He sucks my tongue in his mouth and that sets me off. Moaning into his mouth, I can feel how hard he is up against me. He bites my lip and pulls back. We’re both breathing heavily and everything around us faded into the background until it’s just him and I. Looking into his eyes, I tell him, “I love you Damon.”
“I love you too, Skylar. So fucking much. I’m glad you had fun tonight. I can’t wait to take you on your next adventure. Watching your eyes light up tonight was something to see. I want to see that every day because your happiness means the world to me. For once I didn’t see the darkness in there. All your light and spark shined through.”
I clear my throat of the emotions I’m feeling. “You’re the reason for my happiness Damon. Before, I was drowning and not really living. In the short amount of time I’ve known you, I’m about to live and breathe in the light. You're my light Damon.” I can see my words have affected him. He has to swallow hard a few times before he can say anything. What I said was true. He’s my light, my home, my happiness and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
“Let’s get home Sky. I have one more surprise there for you.”
“Damon..” he’s done enough already but he just places his finger on my lips so I can’t say anything else. I roll my eyes at him.
