He honestly didn’t have to do that, but before I could protest to let him know I would take care of it, he was out the door.
Damien came back in with Zeus in tow and a plastic baggy that he disposed of in the trash. “Well, that was fast. I guess Zeus needed to go after he ate some bacon after all.”
He looked at me, and then he looked down at my chest then the rest of my body. I could tell he was appraising me. “Stop looking at me like that. I’m your roommate, not your sex buddy.”
He gave me a wicked grin. “Sorry, couldn’t help myself. You have one tight little body.”
I punched him in the arm. “Roommates don’t say things like that.” I rolled my eyes at him and walked away with Zeus following me. I went to my bedroom and shut the door.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on my door. “Come in.”
Damien walked in dressed in a Rolling Stones shirt, his delicious jeans from earlier that hung so perfectly off his hips and a pair of black Chuck Taylors. Like I’ve said, he isn’t my usual type but he was oozing raw sex appeal. Those damn tats were peeking out of his shirt, and I couldn’t take my eyes off him.
“I see how you’re looking at me.” I rolled my eyes at him. “So are we going to go do your shopping?”
“Sure, I guess now is as good of a time as any.” I grabbed my purse off the dresser and followed him out of my room.
“I’ll drive since I know where we’re going.” He gave me a wink.
“No, I can drive. First of all, I need to learn the roads and secondly, I have a lot of room for shit.” I grabbed my keys out of my purse.
“Fine, but I’m driving” He took the keys out of my hand before I could even respond.
I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth. He wasn’t on my insurance. What if we got into an accident? Surely, he has insurance, I hope. “I’m really not sure that’s a good idea, what if you wreck it?”
“Chill, Sweets. I got this under control. I’m the man here, and I should be driving.”
“Oh, so you are going to go all alpha on me” We walked out of the apartment as he shut and locked the door, and we made our way down the steps and to my SUV. I reluctantly went to the passenger side.
“I’m all alpha male, babe.” He unlocked the doors and folded his body in behind the steering wheel but not before pushing the seat way back. “Damn, woman, you are short. This seat was almost up to the steering wheel.”
“I can’t help it if I’m only five foot, Damien. This is the way God made me.” Geez. Now he was going to make fun of me.
He looked over to me with a serious expression glazed across his face. “Babe, don’t take offense. I like the way God made you.” Oh, hell to the no. Now he was hitting on me.
Why the hell was he calling me ‘babe’ now? “Keep it in the pants.”
I rolled my eyes and looked out the window paying attention to where we were going. I needed to figure out how to navigate to get where I was going. I knew the strip pretty well from coming out here for my twenty-first birthday with Bee and some other girlfriends, but beyond that, I was clueless.
So freaking clueless.
Damien
W e walked into Target and headed to the back to find her some shit to put on her bed. She immediately went to the comforters and started perusing through them.
“What do think, Damien? I really like this one?”
It was a white comforter that had aqua and black flowers on the bottom of it.
“Or maybe I could go with this one?” She pulled out a set that was pink and had chocolate brown and white stripes.
“I actually like the first one you showed me. The pink is too girly for my taste.”
“Well, I like to be girly. I’m a female after all, in case you haven’t noticed.” Was she fucking kidding me?
“Oh, I noticed. You’re all female. It certainly hasn’t escaped my eyes.” She slapped me on the chest.
“Could you try for a minute not to be a pig?” She sure has hell liked to call me a pig all of
