Damien POV
Mr Knight called me later telling me that he is fine with the wedding taking place in 3 days time. However Amelia has a condition which is to study in the same high school. Which I agreed.
If she wanted I could get her into the best high school in the city or wherever she wanted to study. But if she really wanted to study in same school why not. I would give her anything she ask for.
I had asked Mr Knight where was Amelia and he had said that they had went to the mall for the wedding dress.
I quickly got the idea of going to the mall and pay a visit to see Amelia. I quickly got my keys and drove to the mall. There weren’t many wedding dress shops. So I went to the few, and finally spot them.
I saw Amelia looking at a dress. I can’t exactly see the dress but I can see that she liked the dress. She was gazing at the dress. Now I can’t wait to see her in the dress.
Soon Mrs knight was talking about the dress and I start to walk towards them. I saw that my girl was starting to zone off. As I walked into the shop, I called out to Mrs knight. “Mrs Knight.” As Amelia heard my voice she was frozen in the spot.
She did not turn back. She stood rooted to the floor. I really wanted her to turn and look at me.
“Damien. How wonderful for us to see you here. What brings you here?” her mum asked. I walked closer to them. I noticed Amelia stand behind her mum and Olivia.
Disregarding it I stood in front of her mum and Olivia. “I went searching for Amelia and her dad told me you guys were here.” I said hoping she will be happy that I came in search for her.
However it was her mum who was happy. Not her. This made me upset but I didn’t show. “May I know why you were searching for her?” she asked. I quickly came up with a lie.
“The wedding rings.” but honestly I came just to look at her. “I see.” was her mum reply but she had this sly look as if she knew the real reason.
“Mia why don’t you go with Damien to select the wedding rings” Mrs Knight said. Yes. I can finally be alone with her. Maybe I’ll will tell her everything.
“B-But the d-dress?” she asked timidly to her mum. How am I going make her to be not be afraid of me? Oh lord.
“We can take care of it.” Her mum said. Quickly she said “Can Olivia come with me please.” Hearing her pleads her mum said ok. There goes spending time with my babygirl alone out the window.
A frown made its way into my face as what I thought did not happen. As Amelia looked at me I wiped the frown away as I did not want her suspecting anything. “Follow me.” is all I said before we start walking.
We were walking to my car when, “So Damien, how are you?” Olivia asked. I turn for brief second to acknowledge before replying “I have been good, Olivia.” I said with a disinterest. She took the hint and kept quiet.
As we reach the car, I had an idea. I opened the back door, after Olivia went in, I shut the door immediately, before Amelia could seat. I opened the passenger seat and looked at Amelia hinting to take a seat. I knew she was about to deny. Hence I gave her the stern look.
This made her seat in the passenger seat. A crooked smile made its way before I hide it. I went to the driver’s seat and started the car as I fasten my belt. That’s when I realised that Amelia didn’t put on her seat belt.
I lean in to put her seat belt for her. As I approached, she shrink back and let whimper out as she closed her eyes. I got confused and continue to put her seat belt. As she opened her eyes and saw me putting her seat belt, she just nodded her head.
With confusion I started driving. Is she that scared of me? Damn it. What have I done. Do I really had to threatened and scare her the day we met. If only I didn’t say those words. But to be honest, I was scared of the way she was making me feel.
And at that point time, I wanted to suppress the way she made me feel, hence I told those which definitely I did not mean. How am I going to rectify this? Oh lord what have I gotten myself into.
Just then I heard a phone go off. I turned to see whose it was and realised it was my babygirl’s phone. I saw her texting someone. After sometime she start to giggle and laugh which upset me. I was the only person who is allowed to make her giggle and laugh.
She was continuing to laugh and giggle which was making me really jealous. Woah did I just become jealous? Who am I kidding. Of course I am. Someone else is making my babygirl laugh. So of course I am going to get jealous.
I stopped the car suddenly. I was pissed. “Damien, is everything alright?” Olivia asked. “Yeah” was all I said. I sensed Amelia shrinking in her seat and realised I was scaring. My aim is to make her not be scared of me. Not scare her more. I took deep breathe and once I calmed down I started driving again.
After some time we reached the ring shop. It was Tiffany & Co. We all got down. I saw Amelia looking at the place with fascination. I went and stood behind her. She continued to stare at the building.
I cleared my throat to gain her attention and she turn around only to come to face with my chest. She looks so tiny and adorable. As she looked up at me, I looked down at her. She quickly went to her sister.
As they start to walk, I stopped then. “Olivia, Amelia and me would go and take a look at the rings You can take a look around the other shops.” I said hoping she will get my hint. I can feel Amelia getting tense. But I want to choose the rings with her only. I didn’t want Olivia around.
“O-Ok sure.” Olivia said to my relieve. As soon she left I went to stand beside My girl only for her to move away. I sighed thinking this going to take some time. I started walking hoping for her to follow me.
As we entered the place become silent. Everyone knew me and what I am capable of. That is why everyone is afraid of me. Everyone stood still which was starting to piss me off. Noticing this one of the lady came to attend us.
“Mr Mariano, how can we assist you?” she asked with fear. As I looked around people were back to their business.
“I would like 2 wedding rings and a engagement ring.” is all I said. She started to guide us to a private room. I looked at Amelia to see she was fascinated by the room decoration. I took a seat and she just stood there.
“Seat.” I sighed. Which she quickly obeyed. “Show us your latest design.” I asked the lady and she quickly took the designs out. I started looking for the perfect design. I wanted the perfect one for my babygirl.
I was searching for the engagement ring. Just then I saw the perfect one. It would look amazing in her fingers. I asked Amelia how was the ring and if she like it. But I got no response. I looked at her only to realise she was zoned out.
“Amelia.” I called again which she respond to. I showed her the engagement ring. “This is the engagement ring for you.” I said she nodded her head. She didn’t even say whether she likes it or not. I sighed and got the ring,
We moved on to the wedding rings. I wanted something special and unique. But I wanted something of Amelia style. She enjoys simple things. So I wanted something that was special, unique and simple.
Just then I saw the perfect one. It stated ‘My King’ and ‘My Queen.’ It was rose gold. It was special, unique and simple. I turn to look at Amelia and she nodded her head. I gave the lady the wedding ring and confirmed it.
The lady took our measurement. Soon she was done. As we exited the store she quickly start looking for her sister and didn’t let me have a conversation with her. We found Olivia and left. We took our car and left.
We reached her house after some time. Olivia left the car first as Amelia was having trouble with the seat belt. I helped her with it and before she could go, I hold her wrist stopping her. She gasped and turn to look at me.
I was gazing at her unable to handle her beauty. This is the second time we have been alone without anyone to disturb and she is running away. First time being the café. I leaned in and hold her chin.
“You are mine.” I whispered into her ear before letting her go. After recovering from her shock, she scurried away. I chuckled after seeing her adorable face. Did I just chuckled. Oh lord what is going on with me.
I drove back home with my babygirl in mind. She has been the only thing in my mind. I just can’t stop thinking of her. Before I went to sleep, there was only one person in my mind and that is,
Amelia.
