The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 94

Book 2 Chapter 17

I bit my lip, and he surprised me when he pulled my bottom lip from under my teeth with his fingers, “don’t do that in front of me.”

Couldn’t I bite my lip in front of him anymore? It didn’t bother him in the past. Why did it bother him now? He’s confusing me with his words and actions. I have no idea what it means anymore.

“So maybe I did get a small tattoo,” I mumble. “I don’t see why it’s such a big deal to you.”

I didn’t want to lie to him anymore. But at the same time, I was unwilling to tell him I’d gotten a tattoo of his name.

He swallows, “I thought we told each other everything.”

“Why are you so upset about this?” I ask him. “Why does it bother you?”

I was not going to let this go. I wanted an answer to my question.

I watch the frustration on his face as he tries to come to terms with what I’ve done.

“Because all of the things that you do, no matter how small they are, it always affect me.” He finally answers me.

My lips part at his confession. I couldn’t believe he’d just admitted that to me. Was it true? Did everything I do really affect him so badly?

“How does it affect you?” I whisper as I search his eyes. How does a tattoo affect him? It’s on my body, not his. Unless he already knew that the tattoo had his name on it. I quickly dispose of that thought. He doesn’t know. I’ll know when he does.

He takes a deep breath, “I love your skin just the way it is. You didn’t need to get a tattoo. It was already beautiful.”

I sighed; I had to explain to him that I didn’t get it just for the sake of getting one.

“That tattoo holds sentimental value to me,” I explain. “I didn’t get it because I wanted to see what it would look like. I got it because it actually means something to me. I got it because it helped me be closer to someone I know I’ll never get the chance to be that close with.”

His eyes narrow, “you got it because of someone?”

I pause and immediately realize my mistake.

I bite my lip; I’d said too much. I kept making the same mistakes over and over again. What would he think of me if he assumed that I’d gotten the tattoo for some random guy that he’d never heard about before?

“Forget I said anything,” I tell him. There was no way I would show him whose name was on my a*s. I knew I would cause more damage than good if I let him believe it was for a guy, but I had to do it.

I knew that one day soon when I thought it was the right time, I wouldn’t hesitate to show him. For now, I’ll let him believe what he wants to.

He suddenly laughs, and it surprises me. What was so funny? It didn’t seem like a genuine laugh, more like a sarcastic one.

I watch as he runs a hand through his hair and steps back from me.

“Clearly, I don’t know you as well as I thought I did.” He whispers more to himself than me.

“Damon!” I try to stop him. I’d somehow hurt him with my words.

“It’s okay, Clarissa.” He stops me. “I’m not upset with you. Never with you. I wasn’t upset with you earlier either; I lied.”

I watch as he walks out of the room and closes my door behind him. He doesn’t even wait for me to respond. He may not be upset with me, but he did seem to be hurt. I stood completely still for at least ten minutes, thinking of how to make this better. My relationship with Damon has never been this strained before. My desperation to get him to see me how I saw him was beginning to create problems between us.

I had to make things right.

After showering and finally changing from the bikini into jeans and a top, I decided it was time to leave my room for at least an hour. If I kept locking myself inside here, my family would know that something was wrong. I didn’t want them to start showing interest in my life and the crazy things I’ve been up to lately.

Besides, I wanted to speak with Damon again. I didn’t like where our last conversation had ended.

Everyone was having dinner when I got downstairs.

“Finally, Clarissa,” Atticus says as he spots me. “I’ve heard you had a very exciting day today. It’s good you came down for dinner after locking yourself in the room for so long.”

Did he hear everything? Did he find out that I kissed Damon while playing a game?

I don’t think he did; his reaction would have been worse than this.

“I’ll rather not talk about today,” Griffin says; he was still traumatized from seeing me kiss Damon.

“That’s a good idea,” Autumn says with a f****d smile. “Let’s not talk about today.”

Atticus quirks a brow at her, and I can tell he wasn’t finished speaking to her about today. He may be quiet now, but they would have more to talk about later.

Damon walks into the room and sees me. His eyes lingered on me for a second before he took the seat furthest away from me. It hurt. Damon always sits next to me at the dining table.

“Did you two get into some kind of a fight?” Atticus asks. He was the first to notice what Damon had just done.

“No.” Damon answers him before I can say anything.

I force a smile on my face, “of course not.”

Griffin quirks a brow as he looks between the two of us. I know he’s wondering if the kiss had pushed us further apart.

“What exactly happened today?” Dante asks as he looks at the four of us.

“Nothing for us to speak about,” Autumn says. “Let’s just have a nice dinner.”

Grandfather walks in just then. It was good to see him after he’d left us for a while.
