Confession

The warm sunshine basks on both Damien and Emmy as they sleep peacefully. Damien slowly stirs in his sleep as the sunlight flashes in his face. Damien lets out a groan as his eyes open.

"Aaah. What a night..." Damien says as he looks over at Emmy peaceful sleeping expression. She has a big smile on her face as she lays there.

Damien tries to get up slowly but feels a slight pull, he turns around to see Emmy grabbing ahold of his wrist. He looks at her face and she give him a smile, "Good morning." Emmy says in a soft sweet angelic voice.

"Good morning, hope you slept well. I'm about to get a drink, do you want anything?" Damien says as Emmy sits up in the bed. She realizes that she isn't wearing a top and her bra is off too she blushes and grabs the blanket to cover herself. Damien lets out a heartful laugh.

"Ha. No need to do that now after what happened last night." Damien says as he moves toward the kitchen area to get some water for both Emmy and himself.

"You got somewhat distracted, so you never answered me, so, I just got you some water." Damien hands Emmy one of the cups full of water to Emmy. 

"U-Um Da-Damien do you kn-know where my top is?" Emmy says as she places one hand onto the cup and the other holds the blanket against her chest.

"Yeah, it's right there." Damien points to the floor at the end of the bed. "Let me get it for you." Damien grabs her clothes and hands them over.

Emmy stares at Damien for a few seconds, "could you please?" 

Damien chuckles and turns his back to her so she can dress herself.

"All better, sweetie?" Damien says with a playful tone.

"Yes." 

Damien turns back around and sits on his bed. "How are you feeling after last night?" 

"U-um pretty good- Last night was nice." Emmy says as she slowly lifts the cup to her lips and takes a sip.

"Good, good, I had fun. Thank you for staying with me Emmy. Before you girls showed up a lot happened, and my mind was in a storm." Damien says with a dispirited look on his face.

Emmy reaches out and places her hand on his face, she slowly moves it as she says, "If you ever need to talk about anything, you know I will always be here for you. You've protected me, you protected the rest of us. You've become irreplaceable at this point."

Damien grabs her hand and gives it a small kiss. "Thank you, I'll always be there when I can." 

A few seconds go by, and the atmosphere starts to feel a little heavy, as both parties just sit in the bed staring at each other. Emmy starts blushing as Damien looks at Emmy with adoration. 

"U-U-Um Ca-Can you p-please not stare so much." Emmy squeaks out.

Damien chuckles, "Sorry my bad. You are just so darn cute." 

Emmy takes a big sip of her water trying to hide the fact that her face is as red as a tomato. She places the cup down and looks at Damien with a serious expression.

"Damien." She speaks.

"What?" 

"I have to tell you something, but it's hard to please bear with me." 

"Okay." Damien shifts on the bed to give Emmy his full attention.

A few seconds pass as Emmy looks at Damien, "U-Um, well you know, you know how you've always been there when we needed you?"

Damien nods.

"Well, you know the night I was clinging to you all night because of what had happened with Tyler and how you continued to hold me the whole night?" 

Damien gives her another nod.

"And how you continued to be there when we were in trouble, especially with Ariel going missing you were a strong pillar of support for us. You even found her!"

Damien nods again.

"I just wanted to say that I really appreciate everything you've done. An-And th-that I-I-I-I like you." Emmy says with an up and down pitch in her voice, her "you" ends up being barely audible. 

Damien smiles.

"And I hope we can continue being together and I think you may have more admirers out there."

Damien leans closer toward Emmy.

"I just want you to know I don't mind."

Damien starts getting closer to Emmy's face as she starts panicking, looking around the room as Damien closes in and kisses Emmy. Her face turns super red as all her blood rushes to her head, she places her hands onto Damien's chest, but Damien pushes hard into the kiss and Emmy melts to his touch, her hands drop and just returns the kiss.

A few seconds, which feels like hours to them pass by as Damien comes back to get some air, "I like you too Emmy. But what did you mean by I may have more admirers and you don't mind?"

Emmy catching her breath looking down at the bed, lifts her head up and looks at Damien, "I meant you are a powerful man, you a lot of people will want to be with you. I've always seen polygamy relationships and they seem quite healthy when all participants are honest and knowledgeable about what their partners do, and they respect one another. I am saying if people want to be with you, it's up to you whether to allow them in or not."

Damien was shocked to see Emmy take such a stand. "What? Are you sure?"

Emmy gives him a nod. "Yes. My parents were into polygamy, and they were really happy. I want to experience that same happiness." 

"Well, alright but first and foremost we have to establish what we are first." Damien leans back to relax on his bed.

Emmy becomes anxious from Damien's words. "Wha-What do you mean?"

"Well, are we dating now? Or are we just friends with benefits?" Damien says. 

Emmy head drops as she doesn't know what to say.

Damien grins and lifts Emmy's chin up, looks into her eyes, "Emmy, would you like to date me?"

Emmy smiles, "Yes!" 

Damien gives her a kiss on the lips. 

"Good now that we have that official, we have to discuss-"

Emmy stops Damien, "We can talk about this later, let's go talk to the rest of the girls to see how Ariel is doing. She is an important friend to us all."

Damien nods in agreement, "Yeah let's go."

They both get a change of clothes and head off to the hospital.

Once at the hospital Damien and Emmy ran into Lauren, Jessica, and Veronica.

"Hey Veronica! Hey girls!" Damien says as he approaches them with Emmy following behind him.

The girls say hey to him. 

"What brings you here, Veronica?" Damien says to Veronica.

"Well, I came to see my sister." Veronica says.

"Your sister? Is she okay, and who is she?" Damien shockingly asks.

"Ariel. Damien, my sister is Ariel." Veronica says.
