Chapter 2

Authors note: Well as you have probably figured I am going to continue with this story, mainly because I got such a good response! Seriously, I was really surprised to get reviews etc. Thank you and I hope you like!

I was in my room about to leave to go study with Damien when I heard two knocks on the door.

'Come in.' I responded. The door opened and looked up to see Damien creeping inside with a smile on his face.

'Damien!' I scoffed, 'What are you doing! You will get caught, Stevie-Rae is just down stairs and'

He cut me off before I could finish. 'Shh! Zoe, we need to talk.' He shut the door lightly and locked it. My pulse started to speed up as he sat down on the bed next to me holding his books. I cleared my throat and tried to talk with as much normality as possible,

'Nerferet will be really angry if we don't get that homework done, she did say it was due tomorrow, we really should get started before'

Damien cut me off again as he leaned his head closer to me and forced me to stare into his deep eyes.

'I love you Zoe.' He whispered, I felt his breath on my face.

I stood up and shrieked, 'What!'

Damien grabbed my hand and pulled me back down on the bed.

'Shhh Zoe.' He whispered calmly, 'No need to start a commotion.'

I was trying to steady my breathing as I waited for him to continue. He took a deep breath and held my hand in his strong warm grip.

'I love you Zoe, I don't know why but I do, but I want to be with you.'

I laughed hysterically and fumed at him. 'But that makes no sense! You told me that you are gay! Why would you and the rest of the group lie to me about something about that? Was it so I couldn't hit on you or something?'

He raised one eyebrow at me and smirked. I quickly defended myself,

'Don't get the wrong idea Damien.'

He threw his books on the floor and answered, 'I am gay Zoe, that it what I have always known and that is what my parents know and what the twins and Stevie-Rae know. I can't explain it Zoe but you make me feel things that I have never felt before. Nothing that I have felt for another guy, every time I see you I lose all control and it gets hard for me to be apart from you. You make me want to love you.

Damien moved his arm up to my bare shoulder and left it there, making me shiver from the warmth. Not a good day to be wearing a spaghetti strap top, I thought to myself. I was completely confused and in shock, was Damien seriously in love with me? How could that be? I sat there and tried to think as I ignored Damien's face just centimeters away from mine. His hair was styled messily and the more I looked at him the more I imagined me being with him. But, the fact was hard to grasp, would Damien lie to me about this? Why would he do so anyway? Some bet to see how far the gay guy can get with the new girl? No Damien wasn't like that.

Well I hope he wasn't like that, I had only known him for a week. But he seemed so nice, so caring, not a lying manipulative player. I looked up to his face and asked him sincerely;

'So you honestly and truly love me Damien? Enough that you would want to be with me? And not care about Heath or any other weird things about my life?'

I wondered what I was going to do about Heath, but this moment was now, and I can't control the feelings and emotions that Damien had made me feel, just in these few short moments.

'We can take care of Heath later.' He smiled. He moved his hand up to my cheek and my heart beat flew at one hundred miles per hour. He moved slightly to lean over me, forcing me to lie back onto my bed. I put my hands up onto his stomach and tried to ignore the tight lines of his toned abs as I decided whether this is really what I want. Before I had any chance to object Damien's lips were on mine, soft and warm and completely irresistible. I didn't know whether to smile or scream.
