"I love you".

Three simple words that holds so much meaning to them. Every time Damon told Callie he loved her she would always freeze up not knowing what to say, because of the fact that she doesn't really know what it feels like to be loved with her mother deing and father abounding her at such a tender age she grew up not knowing...with only the memories of her mother's loving touch and words.

"Would you stop saying that". Callie groans turning on the tap on the dishes she was washing.

"Why?". He was now standing behind her.

"Because I don't want to hear it". She mumbles sensing his presence behind her.

Damon sighs before wrapping his arms around her,hugging her from behind. "I love you". He whispers into her ear.

"You do realise that I have the knife in my hands right?". She jokes.

"I have one too". He kisses the spot behind her ear.

"What are you tal--".

"In my pants".

"Oh my God". Callie laughs putting the dish in the dish rack.

"I love the way you laugh,the way you crinkle your nose when you don't like something,the way you always think of everyone else before yourself..I love everything about you". He presses his lips to her cheek going down to her neck.

She closes her eyes."I...I.....I". She stutters. She didn't know what to say.

"Shhh...you don't have to say it back". He kisses her shoulder. Callie felt so bad..how can he say he loves her so easily? and she doesn't even know if she loves him?.

"But you know what I really love?". He traces his fingers over her stomach watching the rise and fall of her chest as her breathing picks up.

"N-no what?".

"When you beg for me to be inside you".

Callie gulps before turning around to push him away.

"No...no more sex". She exhales walking past him. They never talk all they ever did was have sex and nothing more.

"Callie I don't like these games you keep playing". He grabs her arm stopping her.

"What games?". She asks fawning innocence.

"Callie I already told you I'm not getting you involved...so stop fucking nagging me!". He shouts getting angry.She has been asking him non-stop about what happened in the chapel and in his house all day.

"Oh..so now I'm 'nagging' you?!!. What the fuck do you think a marriage is Damon??". She glares at him." You say you love me yet still you don't trust me enough to tell me anything!!".

"Callie I swear I--"

"Do you think I'm just some toy that you'll play with anytime you suddenly feel like you want to fuck something?!!!".

"Callie". He warns.

"No Damon I really want to know what you think of me...you almost died for Christ sake!..I almost died!!". She points her finger in his face.

"Callie you need to calm down!". He shouts even though he knew telling someone like Callie to calm down was like baptizing a cat.

"Don't you dare tell me to calm down!...you know I liked you better when you had amnesia". She says before storming out of the room,the door slamming behind her.

"Shit why does she have to be so damn stubborn!". Damon growls punching the wall.

He knew she was right.

"Callie!". He ran after her into the cold night air.

Callie slowly walks in the darkness. The bright moon light illuminating her path along the sandy seashore as she listens to the calming sound of the waves crashing against the shores, thinking. She stops in her tracks looking out at the now dark colored almost neon blue ocean. It reminded her of her feelings; she can be as calm as the breeze in summer but at the same time as furious as a raging storm.

Why does she even care?...it's not like her feelings for him are that deep anyways, even though they shared some very intimate moments...or are they?.

"Callie!". He says before putting his jacket around her shoulders.

"Don't touch me!". She screams walking away from him.

"Callie stop and just come back inside out of the cold!". He grabs her arm.

"What part of 'leave me alone' don't you get?!". She flashes him off.

"Why do you care anyways?!". He shouts.

"You almost died you fucking twat!!!".

"Why do you care if I die or not huh?!!!" He glares into her eyes awaiting her answer as she stared at him matching his intensity.

They stood for minutes glaring at each other before Callie turns to walk away.

"Don't you dare walk away from me when I'm talking to you!". He grabs both her arms restricting all her movements.

"Let go of me now!!!". She fought relentlessly kicking and wiggling in his arms trying to get away from him. She wanted...no needed to be alone right now to sort through the chaos in her mind and heart.

"Why?". He whispers with an angry expression. He knew what she wanted to say and that she was afraid. Callie pants out of breath as something she never thought she'd do for another person happened.Tears pricked at her eyes. She fought so hard to hold them back but it was no use as rivers of tears flowed from her eyes.

"Answer me!". Damon furiously shouts gripping onto her arms a little too tight.

"Because I love you..you...you idiot!". Her voice cracks as she pushes him away trying to run away from him. It was so hard for her to say that...he forced her. She wasn't a person who reveals her true feelings to someone that easily even though she was in pass relationships she never really loved anyone not even Sean because of the fear of falling too hard for someone who would eventually get tired of her and leave just like her father did; Trust issues that started from a young age which lead to her becoming the person she was today.

"Shhh..it's ok". He hugs her tightly in his warm embrace.

"I hate you!". She cries. She hates it when people get to see her at her weakest points in life...she doesn't want anyone to know her weaknesses.

"Let go of me..I hate you!" She pushes him away determined to get away from Damon..she didn't want him to see her like this.

"Stop following me!". She walks faster as Damon follows behind her like a tail.

He wanted hold her in his arms and tell her everything will be ok." Stop running away...you can't hide from your feelings anymore Callie!...I'm your husband for Christ sakes!".

"Just watch me". She walks faster as tears continues to fall out of her already red ,puffy eyes."Oh now you realise I'm your wife?!...but you didn't realise that when you decided to keep secrets?". She fumes.

"Are you forgetting that this marriage is fake?!!". She continues.

"I'm not the only one with secrets!".

"And what's that suppose to mean?". She stops walking,turning around to face him cleaning her tear streaked face.

"You went out with your ex when we were still in a relationship". He angrily looks away. His hatred for Sean growing even more.

"Seriously!..you were following me?!...unbelievable". She rolls her eyes.

"So that's all you have to say?".

"What the fuck do you want me to say?!!".

"You kissed the fucking prick!"

"Correction he kissed me..there's a difference..oh and did you know it's ironic that Sean is Domonic's best friend?...who is also my best friend's boyfriend...so you do the Maths,you probably won't get it right but it's important that you try". Callie says laughing dryly before walking away again.

Damon massaged his temples,she was giving him a headache.

I did not sign up for this. He balls his hands into fist watching her walk down the dark sandy beach in nothing but a skimpy little nighty and his jacket around her shoulders. He was so sick of her going against him,sick of her shouting at him, everytime he gets too close she pushes him away  creating unnecessary problems and starting fights.

He was so sick of her doing things he wasn't use to.

"Callie stop we're going inside now". He calmly states.

"Fuck off". She hisses.

"Say that one more time". He grits losing his temper.

"F.U.C.K O.F.F!". She carelessly says unaware of the brewing storm behind his calm words.

The next thing she knew was she was hanging from Damon's shoulders.

"Put me down now!". She shouts,curses,screams and fought;kicking,punching,
pinching and scratching him but nothing worked.

"I said put me down you idiot!..I hate you!".

"Damon I'm not playing!". She screams when he started to climb the stairs.

But he didn't listen and she knew she was in for a long night and it was all her fault.

You nice keep going!  It's a double update 😂😂💜
