Avery's pov

I stared at him in compete horror as he bored his intense gaze on my face like he was waiting to get a reaction from me.

I immediately looked down and let out a shaky breath while placing a little piece of hair that fell out from the back of my ear.

I realised something this past months. I realised that I needed to be strong for myself. I needed to be able to say and know what I want cause I feel I deserve it. Right?

I awkwardly cleared my throat and went back to the kitchen to finish all that I was doing.
My thoughts were all over the place. What's he doing here? Did he know I was here? Is he here to...
I shook my head to get rid of these thoughts from swarming around my head.
I finally placed the food in their respective plates and left them for the house maids to set them on the table.

Soon enough, we gathered round and settled on our respective chairs.
I waited for them to start passing plates and food but no one did.
What are we waiting for?
"What are waiting for" my mouth voiced out my thoughts.
"Oh Damon went upstairs, I think to his room to freshen up because he came here straight from the airport when I told him Avery was here. He'll soon be...  " she paused when she realized what she said
"Oh sorry" she squeaked "forget what I said. " she chuckled nervously to cover up.

"Hurry up man I'm hungry! " Mason whined and pouted.
I frowned. I really thought about what Mom just said. Did he really... not my business anyway.

A movement from the corner of my eye caught my attention.
It was Mason sneakily trying to steal fruits from the big fruits bowl.
I glared at him and he pouted slightly. When I looked down again, he tried and I swatted his hands away and frowned at him which made him whine and pout again. I rolled my eyes at his childish antique.

A firm and at the same time soft footsteps echoed which indicated that he was coming here.
The minute I looked up, I locked eyes  with him. I realised he had been staring at me intently as he came down. I wondered why he didn't trip.
I immediately shifted my gaze else where and cleared my throat.
He moved towards the table to sit.
God please not beside me. Please
He passed behind my chair and he made sure to rub his body against mine which made the goosebumps I thought had vanished from my body arise in attention and alert.

How did I know right?
Well, I know because the space behind me was enough for four persons to pass without touching each other.
I let out a shaky breath and settled on my chair. I guess this man hated me cause he just had to sit directly opposite me and as if that was not enough, he proceeded to brush his feet against mine under the table making me choke on the water I was drinking.
"okay there Avery?"
"Are you okay? "
"Easy there with the water" dad, mom and mason said at the same time.
I nodded and focused on eating not wanting to look up and see his face cause he'd probably have that annoying smug look on his face. I hated to see that. I hated that he just came and all my thoughts are jumbled already.
We ate in total silence that the only sounds heard was that of clicking of plates and spoons. Dad actually tried starting a conversation but when what he got was either a 'yes and no' answer, he gave up.

When we finished this round of food, I stood up to clear the table so I could bring the desserts I made.
A warm hand placed on top of mine made me stop my actions cause it made shivers run all over my body.
"Let me" his deep husky voice said softly. I saw everyone's shocked face's. Mason even choked on the fruit juice he was drinking when he heard his friend and looked up at him unbelievably. Yeah Mason, I'm shocked too.

I looked up to meet his piercing gaze almost getting lost in them.
I immediately removed my hands from under his as if I was burned by his touch when realization dawned on me.
He cleared his throat and and packed  the plates to the kitchen walked entered the kitchen maybe to bring the desserts.

He served his parents first before he served me.
I'm really shocked at his behavior of taking care of someone other than himself.
"That's enough " I said as I saw him wanting to add more to my cake.
"Are you sure this enough?" Damon asked bringing his face directly to mine.
I nodded my head not trusting my own voice.
"Are you sure? the quantity is so small, are you feeling well?" He  asked faking concern or so I thought.
"Its fine" I said lowly gritting my teeth in anger to what he wanted to prove to everyone.
"Are you... "
"I said I'm f*cking fine can't you hear me! Just stop with the damn pretense!" I yelled cutting off whatever he wanted to say.
I grabbed my belongings and stormed out of the house unwanted tears falling clouding my vision.
Maybe I shouldn't have come here.

If he thinks he can manipulate me again then he should think again.
I'm not as gullible as he thinks I am.
I'm stronger now.

I can't be fooled for the second time because FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME!.

.

Oh yeah
Our baby's on fire people...
But I think Damon's changed.
Who's ready for his Pov to know what happened to him.
