DAMIAN'S P.O.V
I know that Jen was trying to talk me of the kiss. She was trying really hard. But I had other plans. I wanted to talk to her about this with full time. And now I needed to get back to work. So I said what I said.
.......................
JENIFER'S P.O.V
"What the hell was that?" Natasha screamed in my ears when I came at my table.
I know it was coming. She saw us in a very awkward moment. Obviously she was going to bug me.
"There's nothing to tell. I swear." I sat in my chair and started checking through some files.
"Don't try to fool me. Jen you guys were so close to kissing. Did you guys kiss later? What's going on?" Nats was not able to keep her mind sane.
"No we didn't kiss. There is nothing going on between us. It's just.........."
"You like him?"
I look up at her. "I do I guess." I say softly looking down.
"Okay Jen. Okay. Damian is a good guy but till date he hasn't been in a relationship at least that's what tabloids tell. Have you talked about it to him?"
"Noo!! Are you mad? He is my boss. I'm just his personal assistant. He can't fall for me."
"Okay now you are being insane. You are beautiful, smart, caring. Which guy wouldn't want you?"
"Okay okay. Keep all this aside. Why did you come here?"
"Ahh yes. I wanted to know whether Mr. Wilson is back? My boss wanted to have a urgent meeting with him and all the other marketing employees."
"I will ask him and arrange that." I nodded thinking of the schedule of Damian for today.
"Alright. Mail me the schedule. I will be going now. But remember our talk is not finished."
I nodded.
............................
I was checking the expense file Damian told me to go through, then suddenly Max appeared infront of my table.
"Hey beautiful." He bent down a little bit.
"Hi Max. How are you today?" I smiled.
A little piece of information, Max Fisher is a employee of Wilson Clothing in the Purchase Department. He is a good looking guy, well mannered. He has been asking me if I would like to go out with him since last week. He seems like a good guy, but whatever happened with Caleb, I just don't want to go there right now. Or maybe I have kinda developed feelings for my boss.
"So formal Jenifer. Now I'm your friend right?"
"Right now I'm just Mr. Wilson's personal assistant. So what are you here for?" I said teasing him.
"Well, if that's the case, I'm here for asking you that have you thought about the date?"
"I did. And I have concluded that I'm sorry. But right now I really can't date you or anyone else for that matter."
"Alright Alright. I really don't know about your past. But I'm asking for just one dinner. After that if you decide to be just friends I will be okay with it. No pressure."
I thought for couple of minutes, what's harm in one dinner? And thing about my feelings about my boss, I'm sure those are just temporary infatuation. It can't be anything concrete. Also, there's rare chance Damian would also feel same thing about me. I'm sure he would have completely utterly forgotten about the kiss.
"Okay, but just one dinner." I tilted my head a little bit giving him a small smile.
"Thank you, I'm make sure you will have a great time."
I smiled, nodded, "When and where?"
"How about tonight? There's this amazing place with the most amazing Mexican menu? Wait do you like Mexican?"
"Yes I do. Sounds good to me."
"Okay I will come to pick you up at 7. Text me your address."
"I will."
"Okay see you later."
"See you." I said and went to Damian's cabin to tell him about the expense file.
.......................
"May I come in?"
"Come in." I heard his voice.
"Yes Jen?" He said looking up at me as I entered his cabin.
"I checked through this file. It will need few corrections. Should I discuss this with you now?"
"Um, right now I'm busy. How about after work we discuss this over dinner? Don't worry, I will pay overtime." He suggested.
But tonight's the date with Max.
"I know you will pay me overtime as you always do, but tonight I can't. I have plans. I'm sorry."
"Plans? With whom?" He looked up.
"I think that's none of your business." I said softly.
"It is. Because I want you to be present with the me for work purpose and you say you have got plans. I need to know your plans." He somewhat screamed and got up from his chair.
"Look still I don't have to tell you about my plans."
"Jen, I'm asking last time, with whom are you going out?" He asked with gritted teeth.
He was now standing beside me.
"Damian, why do you even care? You didn't even remember about........."
I just stopped. What was I saying? I was about to ask him about the kiss.
What am I thinking?
"What are you talking about Jen?"
"Nothing, look just let me go. This conversation is going nowhere."
"Remember what Jen?"
"Nothing, don't press it." I turned around so that he can't see my embarrassed face.
But I tend to forget he is a human being. He came and stood in front of me, holding my arms with his hands. I was looking at me feet, my heels. I have a pretty good pumps.
"Jen? What were you saying earlier? Be honest with me." He said in his soft voice, and there I melted.
Butterflies butterflies everywhere!
"You don't even remember about the kiss we shared." I looked up.
There you go!! I said it. On your face.....
