DAMIAN'S P.O.V

I kissed her. I kissed Jen. I kissed my personal assistant. Jesus christ! I really saw some different emotions in her eyes when I went to say good bye to her. I honestly thought she was little disappointed that she is not going with me. Maybe I was wrong. So I kissed her. I wasn't wrong. Though she didn't kiss me back, she didn't push me either.

Frankly she was shocked. But in my gut I know she enjoyed the kiss. I can't wait to get back to her. I won't call or message her right now. I will give her some time to digest all this.

................................

I reached Athens safely. I was about to reach my parents vacation villa. They were staying there for two weeks now. Milsy and Seb were in New York because they had their school and university.

I reached the villa. The villa was modern in architecture. My mother is a architect so she chooses every hotel, or house she lives in with utmost inspection and everything.

"Hello mom!!!" I hugged her from back as she was sitting in lawn with dad beside her.

"Damian!! You are here my boy." She turned around grinning at me.

"Yes mom. I told you when I boarded the flight."

"I know. But I am meeting you after so many days. I can't believe you are here."

"There is someone whom you call dad standing right here." I hear my dad's voice faking hurt.

"Dad!! How can I forget you?" I chuckled and hugged him.

"How was your flight?" He asked me.

"Good as usual. Now you guys tell me how is your holiday going?"

"Best. We are really enjoying ourselves. Aren't we Nick?" My mom lovingly looked at dad.

"Yes darling." Dad pecked mom.

My mom dad still sometime behave as if they are in high school. They were high school sweethearts.

"Mom what was the matter you called me so urgently?" I asked as I sipped coffee.

"Yes that. I called you here to meet a girl. You will go out with her for dinner. You will get to know her. If you like her and she likes you which I know she will, we can proceed with further discussion." My mom gradually dropped the bomb.

"Mom!! You know my plane is still at the airport. Do you want me to go back right away?"

"Damian just one dinner. It won't harm you. Please? She is a nice girl."

"Mom noo! I'm not getting married right now. And not when I haven't met the girl I love."

"Damian son, just give this girl a chance. You never know, she can be your girl, your soulmate."

"Dad not you too please. Why do don't you guys understand?" I was now irritated with there constant convincing me to get married.

"Dear please try and understand. Just meet her once, please for me." My mom with her most pleading tone said it.

How can I say no to now? Mom!!!

"Fine fine. I will do it. I will meet her just once."

"Don't worry. If you meet her once, I'm sure you will be smitten by her and will meet her more than once."

"Let's see. When am I meeting her?"

"Tonight you are going to have dinner with her." Dad answered.

"Impatient aha?" Mom winked.

"Mom! I need to get back to New York to work." To Jen.....

"Yeah yeah. I know how much workaholic you are."

I chuckled.

.................................

After getting for ready my "date" with Stephanie, the girl my mom wants me to meet I called Theo.

"Hey dude, just check on the office. Jen will be there. She will manage it well, but just go there once. And tell me how is Jen."

"Okay okay. By the way, you are really curious to know about Jen." I could hear teasing in his tone.

"There is a reason for that."

"And what is that reason? If I may ask."

"I kissed Jen before I came here."

"WHAT?!! You kissed her? So you like her? Yesss my best friend finally likes a girl."

"Calm down Theo I..........."

"I can't keep calm because my best friend is in love." He sang the last part.

"Theo now you are going too much. I have just kissed her. And she didn't kiss me back. I kinda left just like that."

"Why did you do that?" Theo screamed. And I'm sure even if I was not on his call I would have heard it just like that. He was that loud.

"I don't know, I thought to give her time to process all that."

"When you come back I want you to talk to her about it okay?" Theo ordered me.

"I can if my mom doesn't set me up with one of her friend's daughter."

"What happened?"

"I'm going to meet a girl Stephanie, for my supposed marriage."

"What?!! You can't do that. You kissed Jen you remember that don't you?"

"Yeah I do. I'm just meeting her for the formality."

"Fine. I will head to meet Jen now." Theo concluded.

"Okay but don't give any hint about me."

"Alrighty. I hope your date is worst with that girl."

I chuckled, "Bye."

JENIFER'S P.O.V

It was next day, the day after Damian left. I was still overwhelmed with what happened last night. The kiss. I haven't told anyone about it. Not Natasha nor Mia nor my brother.

I was currently typing a report which I needed to email Damian before lunch.

"Good morning Jenifer." A voice stopped me from typing.

I looked up to find Theo at my desk. A smile formed on my face. Theo seemed nice guy when we met earlier.

"Morning Theo. How may I help you?" I got up.

"A perfect assistant tone I see."

"I have got habitual to it." I chuckled.

"Good. How's everything going? Any trouble?"

"Not for now. I was just typing sales meeting report to email to D-Damian. Have you heard from him?" I nervously asked.

"Yes he called me today to just tell me to come here and see everything."

Theo said, he didn't give any expression or hint that he knew about this kiss or Damian talked about it.

"Okay. Did he say anything about me? I-I mean any specific work for me?" I tried to ask him one more time.

"No he didn't mention anything about you. Just incase you have difficulty in anything call me."

So he didn't even ask about me.

Maybe I am overreacting over just a kiss. He would have forgotten too. It was just a kiss. But then why in the first place did he kissed me? He didn't say anything to me after the kiss. He just went. I guess I'm overthinking about it. He will not even remember about it when he comes back. But, I..... I kinda enjoyed the kiss. Of course I did. I can still feel the breath of his lips on mine.

Should I forget too?
