Livia POV

It's been a month since I came to New York. The guys sometimes come with cuts and bruises on them but they never give me an answer for it. I've actually changed and feel stronger in a way. Delilah had become something like a mother to me and had taught me a lot. Make-up, cloth, everything a girl should know to look good, she taught me a few things about designing as well. She keeps giving me new cloth here and there as well and I honestly loved her. Why couldn't she be my mother?

Anyway I've actually learned self defense and could actually defend myself from Damon. If I managed him I could manage my brother and Kevin. I was currently learning how to fight properly. I already have my permit thanks to Damon of course. My classes were, for me, easy. I have a photographic memory so I didn't need to study or anything unless I wanted to do research on my own. So in short my life here was amazing. Oh and did I forget to mention my birthday was tomorrow? Well now you know.

"Damon! I'm bored!" I whined as I threw my body over his lap and he just laughed.

"Wanna go practice your fighting?" He asked and I nodded getting up. We were at Liam's right now. He had a somewhat of a boxing room so that's where I practice.

We walked in the room and put the gloves on. We only did this when we were gonna be hitting each other when I was hitting the punching bag I couldn't have them on, he said that it was for me to get used to the pain I feel after the punch if I actually hit someone. Damon took his shirt off like always and like always I stare at him shamelessly as he just laughs.

We got in position and we started to fight me dodging him and trying to punch him as he dodged easily. I try and move faster but he's always faster than me.

"You're so frustrating I can't even hit you!" I said as he laughs at me.

"That's good. I'm sure your bullies and brother don't really know how to fight though so they won't have the same reflects as me but you need to learn how to hit me. If you manage that we'll add Liam to the picture." He said and I nodded as I continue to try and hit him.

"You're open." He said hitting the part where I was open at as I whined. Yes he hits me only on practice though and I get why. He wants me to get used to it that if someone actually managed to hit me in a fight I wouldn't just let the pain consume me and stop. He wants me to keep fighting no matter what.

"Better." He said as I threw my punches at him getting very close to hitting him.

"Keep going don't slow down come on." He said and I kicked high but he dodged it trying to kick me but I moved out of the way.

"Your reflects are getting better." He said with a smile on his lips as we continue for about an hour before I could actually hit him.

"That's surprisingly hurt." He said blinking and taking his gloves off touching the area I hit him.

"I actually hit you!" I yelled jumping around as he just laughed and smiled at me.

"You managed to hit me.. that deserves a prize." He said pulling me by my hips for me to smash against his chest and him to bend down and kiss me on the lips. He had asked me to be his girlfriend last week and of course I said yes. I'd be out of my mind to say no.

"Ok love birds come on." Said Chris to us as we rolled our eyes at him. Chris had very dark brown hair with brown eyes (Pic up top). He was nice but only to people he liked.

"What are we doing?" I asked and he smirked.

"Well if I recall correctly your birthday is tomorrow isn't it?" He asked and I blushed at that with a smile on my face.

"So we're starting your birthday from 12 am till 12 pm so you better get some sleep or you'll be up more that 24 hours." Chris said and I shook my head. And walked out where everyone was.

"Thanks for this guys." I said and they smile.

"No problem." They say before we walk to Damon's car and we go to my apartment.

"I need to go do something now but I promise I'll be back before midnight." He said and I sighed but kissed his lips softly.

"See you at midnight, Midnight." I said with a smile as he rolled his eyes because I used his middle name. I got out of the car and walked to the elevator before going to my apartment. I took a bath and got in some comfortable cloth before I fell asleep.

"Ethel."

"Ethel." I feel someone shaking me and I open my eyes to see Damon there smiling.

"Rise and shine. It's 11 I thought you'd like to get up and ready." He said and I nodded kissing his cheek. I walked to my wardrobe.

"What should I wear?" I asked him.

"I'll choose your outfit go to the bathroom and take a bath, do your hair and make up and by then I would've already given you your cloth." He said and I nodded walking to the bathroom and took all of my cloth off before stepping in the shower and wash my hair and body.

Once I was done I dried myself and put a towel around my body as I started blow drying my hair and then starting on my make up but I didn't get to start when Damon walked in and he saw me. He looked at me up and down and bit his lip.

"Damon." I said and he looked me in the eyes before he put the cloth on the counter in the bathroom and walking out in a hurry. I thought about it.. really though about it. I sighed and walked out after him.

"Damon." I said again and he looked at me.

"You better go get ready." He said and I smiled at him as he didn't look at me. I walked to him and straddle him as his eyes widen but he didn't look at me.

"Damon look at me." I said softly as he slowly looked at me.

"I want you too Damon." I said and kissed him roaming my hands up and down his perfect abs. He kissed back but his hands weren't on me. I groan and pushed him to the bed kissing his neck biting here and there making him let out some sexy groans.

"I'm giving you permission to touch me Damon." I said and I see him struggle but he sighed and took me by the hips just to push me off him gently as I looked at him hurt but I could see in his eyes that this was hurting him more.

"Tonight when I bring you back here I'll tell you my biggest and darkest secret and if after that you still want to be with me then we'll make love." He said as I looked in his eyes and he caresses my cheek.

"Because I've fallen in love with you Livia Ethel Black.. and I don't want to hurt you." He says and I smiled at him kissing him again.

"I think I love you too Damon Midnight Cole. And I don't think anything you tell me tonight will change that." I said smiling at him.
