~CLARISSA

“Look, there’s Damon!” Griffin says as he waves at him.

I freeze. I knew Damon had been watching this entire time, but now he knew I was aware of him looking at me.

If I wanted this to work, I had to ignore him. Usually, I would go straight to him, but this time I let Ares lead me into the beach house. I know it would hurt him that I didn’t even bother to turn around and look at him but this had to be done.

Letting Ares hug me earlier was not part of the initial plan, but I wanted to make it as believable as possible. He knew I was upset this morning. I wanted to show him that this wasn’t just one of my ‘tantrums.’

I wanted him to know that he wasn’t the only one that could go on dates. All along I’ve made it super easy for Damon, I wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

“He’s glaring at your back,” Autumn whispers to me.

Good, he can see me walking away from him. I’ve played nice all along, and maybe Damon got the wrong impression from me. This way, he can get a clear picture of what I wanted. It was time that I fought for him. If he told me he didn’t feel the same way, I would be heartbroken, but at least I would know I tried.

I wasn’t sure when exactly I would be ready to confess my feelings to Damon, but for now, I would show him very subtle signs.

“I’m surprised to see you today after you disappeared last night,” Ares tells me. “You promised you would return, but you never did. I waited the whole night for you.”
