Chapter Sixty Nine: The Spray bottle.

Kimia's POV 🖤.

" Damien's avoiding me." I sighed as I flopped onto a stool in the kitchen. Rosa paused and turned to look at me.

" I don't get you Kimia.You told him to leave you alone!"

" Yeah but I didn't think he'd actually go through with it." I mumbled in reply and she face palmed.

" You're an idiot."

" I know, I know. Now how do I get him back?!"

" Okay so what's his favourite thing about you?" She asked wiping her hands with a towel.

" Huh?!"

" Ugghh! His favourite body part!"

" Everywhere is his favourite body part." I replied with a sly grin.

" But he loves my lips. Oh! And my legs."

" Perfect."

I strutted into the building with a mission. I wore a peach suit with a white chemise underneath my suit jacket. My pencil skirt ended mid thigh revealing my legs that Rosa had somehow managed to add length too and make glow. My lips were glossy and inviting.

But he didn't even spare me a single glance! He spent the entire time talking to Clyde and another female scientist that brought us the prototypes of what we had been working on.

" Sup!, So…how'd it go?" Rosa asked as soon as she picked her call.

" It's not working! He didn't even look at me!"

" Did you-"

" Yes I crossed my legs the way you asked me to!"

Rosa let out a low whistle before saying;

" You screwed up bad!"

" I know!" I whined.

" I'm sorry Mia but there's nothing I can do."

" Hey!"

I looked up to see Agent Kai smirking at me so I put on a fake smile.

" Hey, Kai right?"

" The one and only."

" I'm sorry for asking, I just wanted to confirm. I'm really bad with names."

" No worries."

" So what are you doing here?, Are you a test subject or something?"

" Yes. Apparently I have incredible self control so I'm going to be a test subject too." He said cockily and I had to bite my lips to hold back a snarky retort.

" Oh woah!" I exclaimed in mock awe.

He was about to speak when he was cut off by another voice.

" We're about starting." Damien said curtly.

He looked so good that it hurt. He was wearing his usual suit. But something made him look more appealing. His hair was mussed up from running his hand through and it looked strangely…sexy.

Kai was getting on my nerves.

He didn't know when to shut up!

I kept looking at Damien for help but he was to busy talking with the female scientist who's name I later found out is Hannah. I rolled my eyes as she laughed at something Damien had said.

" What's this?" Kai asked picking a spray bottle and spritzing it.

" No! Everyone block your nostrils!" Clyde asked and we did as we were told but unfortunately, Damien was not quick enough.

" What's was that?" He asked unaffected by the-whatever was in the bottle.

" It's kind of like the liquid tryptophan but this one causes you to spill your secrets. It has the same effect as alcohol, only that you inhale it. It's a work in progress." Clyde explained releasing her breath once the mist had cleared.

" I don't feel any diff…" His voice trailed off as his eyes began closing.

" Interesting." Clyde mused as she wrote things down on her notepad.

Damien began to trip over his own feet but I steadied him.

" Oh my God! We have to take him home he needs-"

" I'll handle that." I said cutting Hannah off.

" Could you please maybe tell me if it worked?" Clyde asked hopefully and I nodded.

" Of course."

" Bye!" Kai and Hannah exclaimed and I scowled.

I was about texting Jason for the address to his and Damien's apartment when I remembered something.

" Hey, where do you stay?"

He mumbled the address, the floor and the code to his apartment.

" It really does work." I mumbled.

I managed to get him into bed and sighed. I looked round his room but stopped when I saw pictures. Of us. Together. And other pictures of me. There was a table that looked like a shrine dedicated to us. On it sat a very familiar box. I opened and saw my promise ring.

" Why did he keep it?"

" Because I couldn't let go. It reminded me of you and all the great memories we had while you were wearing it." He mumbled in his drowsy state.

I bit my lip hard to hold back tears that were pooling in my eyes.

Why are you so emotional Kimia?!

" I'm still in love with you. Always have, always will. My life has been miserable without you. No one else can ever replace you. And hopefully, no one else will ever replace me too…"

I turned and saw his chest rising and falling rhythmically. I ran out of the penthouse in tears.

He still loves me.

He's still in love with me.

He wants me back.
