Key to my Happiness (Damien Haas Fan Fiction)

Chapter 22

It's currently 8:30 and I took a deep breathe before opening the door. I opened it to reveal Damien in a maroon dress shirt, all glamoured up. With his hair done, a clean shave and a very elegant surprise. "Hi Baby." He said kissing me on the lips. I smiled at him still confused if I should do this or not.

"Are you ready?" He asked. I simply nodded and followed him to the car. He plugged in his phone on the aux cord and started playing 'Endless Love covered by Glee' It was one of the bone-chilling songs I love. I admire the renditions Glee does to songs. next to that was 'Against all Odds by Westlife' this road trip is sure lovely.

45 minutes after, we got to the venue. Eater LA, A very fancy restaurant in Los Angeles. I gulped and recomposed myself. should I do it now? I'm already panicking.

He held my hand and smiled at me. I smiled back. He is such a sweetheart. I don't want to break him.

We got out of the car and I faced him, I gave him a huge hug. "Hey. What's that for?" He giggled. "Thank you for everything." I kissed him on the lips, as if it will be the last time I will be kissing him. He smiled and we continued walking until we are now seated. The view is amazing.

Damien pulled the seat for me to sit on. I looked at him straight in the eye as pure happiness is filled with him. I was filled with confusion, he might've noticed. "Is there something wrong?" He asked, with concern and nervousness. " No, everything is so amazing. I could never ask for more. I'm just thinking, really." I said directly. "Would you mind telling me what you're thinking of?" He asked. "Well I feel lik-" I was interrupted by the waiter bringing our food. "Maybe later." I said. he nodded as we had our remarkable dinner.

This is by far the best food I ever had. Baked lobster tails with garlic butter panko. Along with the best wine ever made. I saw Damien getting all sweaty, but this is a cool environment. "Is there something bothering you?" I asked. He got up to his chair and kneel in front of me. Oh no.

"You know that I really keep busy. I have my job, which requires me to meet deadline everyday. I then go to my acting practice. Then there are friends to hang out with. I keep so busy that I don't get time to spend with you." He said. No this is not the best timing. I'm already in tears.

"So, I thought that we must put an end to our relation and start a new one. Will you be interested in becoming my wife? This way I will know that I'll never miss spending time with you. So, I ask you, will you marry me?" He said holding out the biggest diamond ring I have ever seen in my entire life, while giving me the biggest and brightest smile he can ever do.

I stood up and asked him to stand up. "I can't." I said crying in his arms. "What? Why is there something that I did?" He said, starting to tear up. "These past few months, we've been growing apart. I feel like I need time to enjoy myself as a young adult. I'm not ready to commit to something I am not ready for. I'm so sorry, Damien. That's what's bothering me this whole time." I said, crying. "I understand." He said. He closed the small box and sat beside me with his head resting on my shoulder.

"Is there something wrong with me?" He asked me with tears coming down from his eyes. I smiled at him "No, Damien. You are perfect. I just need time to enjoy my life, as a young adult. I'm only 25. I know 3 years has been a long time, I don't want it to end. But I think I need to take a break. I've been living my life like a machine, I forgot to enjoy the rest of the world. I wanna travel and try new stuff, do something extremely terrifying and very nerve-wrecking. But I just feel like I can't do all of that if I'm with you." I frowned. he looked at me and gave me the tightest hug ever. "So I guess this is it?" He asked. "For now." I answered. "But I don't want this to end, Lin. You are my everything, ever since the day I met you. I don't want to lose you ever again." he said, latching on to me.

His vulnerability makes me so sad. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. But I need to take some time to myself. I hugged him back tightly and cried in his shoulder. "I love you, Caroline. Please don't leave me." He cried, louder. "Trust me, Damien. I'll be back, I promise. Give me some time. This will be a challenge for the both of us. I don't want to do this, but I think it's best to give ourselves the space we need." I said. he kissed me on the lips and tried to stay longer but I broke it off early because I know this will be more difficult than I anticipated.

I know it sounds selfish, but I also need to give time to myself. As much as I don't want to break Damien, I need this for myself.

"Promise me that you'll always love me, that I will be your one and only and that you'll hold me 'til eternity. I can only love you so much more cause you are all I'm living for and the only thing I'd do is to give my love to you and forever you'll be in my heart the way I've always loved you from the start ." He said. "I Promise." I said, ending our night with a lot of crying and hugging. He drove us back and he insisted on sleeping at Shayne's even if I told him that it's fine to sleep with me on our bed.

It's currently 12 midnight and I'm all alone, in my bed looking at the ceiling. I feel empty without him. This must be a mistake.

Damien's POV

I went to Shayne's house and opened the door to see everyone in the smosh family waiting for my answer. They were all excited for what I'm about to say, "She said no." I surprised them with the disappointment in my voice. They all ran to where I am standing and gave me a hug. "I think I need to take a long time to rest, please. Thank you guys for waiting for me. I'm sorry, but I can't explain it right now." I said as everyone wished me good luck and left me with Shayne.

Shayne gave me a hug. I needed that. " I'm sorry to hear that." He said. I just cried on his shoulder. "I'm a disappointment." I said. "No you're not." he said. "She's afraid of commitments, maybe that overwhelmed her." He added. I nodded and went to my room before. The old bed was still there. I removed my attire and changed to some weird shirt and my boxers. I lied down and cried myself to sleep.
