Inviting Him For Lunch

Mila opened her eyes yawning. A brush of warm air hit her face, looked up she met with his sleeping calm face.

His long hair covered part of his face, her hand got to his face and pushed it away.

His skin was so clear and white, up close she could see how long his lashes were. Her eyes landed on his lips and she gulped, a memory of last night appeared in her mind.

He had obliged to her request, kissing her breathless. She smiled covering her face.

Her movement woke him up.

"Morning Mila "he opened his eyes.

She took her hands away meeting his blue eyes.

"Morning, Damien "she answered.

"Did you sleep well "his fingers were in her hair then up to her face gently carrying it.

"I did, what about you?" she asked.

He smiled pulling her close in his chest.

"I did "he sounded.

She glanced up at him to see him smiling.

"We need to get ready for work, "she said since he was not letting her go.

"Okay, "he said but didn't move an inch

They soon got up to get ready for work.

Mila got down to her room and Damien got to the shower.

Mila got down for breakfast. Damien was already down and at the table. He was always faster in getting ready than her.

She sat down.

"Morning Joy, "she said to Joy.

Joy's eyes moved to her neck noticing the protruding tattoo on her neck under her collar.

"Congratulations, mistress, "she said.

Mila blinked, "Ahh what are you congratulating me about Joy?"

"You accepted the young master's mark, "she said.

Mila's hand automatically moved to the right side of her neck, "Oh, thank you, Joy. So you can see it too "

Damien was quietly sipping on his tea and bit his eyes on Mila's beaming face.

She nodded serving her tea.

After Joy left, she turned to him.

"I didn't know it was a big deal," she said.

"It is "he said., now anyone from my family who sees it will know who you are "

"Who I am?...family?" she blinked, "does that include your Father ".

He chuckled, "Dont worry Dad won't bother you again "

The fear in her eyes disappeared.

When they got to the office, Mila asked Sam if she could see it. To her dismay, she could not.

Mila was finally put back to her original position and back to her desk next to her friend.

"Are you okay now?" asked Sam.

She nodded," I am ".

Rumours about Valeira being arrested with Rian were spreading, and during lunch break, Mila heard about them.

"Arrested ? for what "she asked.

"They had been stealing from the company...the fraud cases on the old boss were all because of them," said Sam.

"Ahh, he was doing that "she gapped.

"Yeah it's good you both broke up "said her friend.

"I guess so " Mila ate her lunch.

Sam frowned looking behind Mila.

"What's wrong, Sam" She looked back to see Damien walk to them.

"Dam...Director "she stood up. His presence in the company cafe had caused a stir, she could hear the murmurs and glances upon them.

"Accompany me for lunch, "he said.

"Huh?"

"I wanted to ask you before you left but you were gone when I came out of the meeting, "he said.

"Oh, but am almost done with lunch "she said.

His face grew emotionless, and Mila blinked.

"You can join me instead if that's okay with you "she suggested.

Sam frowned was she crazy inviting him?

He nodded with a slight smile.

Mila moved back and he sat down next to her.

"Should I order for you?" she asked.

"Let's share yours, "he said.

"Might not be enough for both of us? "she said. But his eyes were on hers. "Never mind we can share "

Damien nodded. She looked down at her plate.

"Which one do you like "she asked.

He pointed at the beef cutlets. She took some and passed the fork to him but he opened his mouth instead.

Mila paused, Sam gasped and the whole room felt silent all eyes on them.

Mila held her breath.

"Mila "she heard him call.

"Oh, sorry," she said moving as she fed him. She knew this was going to create another set of rumours but seeing him want to enjoy her company made her happy.

She kept feeding him. After a while, he took it and fed her some.

Sam who seemed to have been forgotten got up quietly and left.

"Did you hear about what happened to him? "asked Damien after their lunch.

They had walked out to get something to drink. He walked beside her.

"I did, Sam told me about it ".

"Am sorry I didn't know how to tell you "he said.

She smiled, "It's alright, he has nothing to do with me now "

They got to the coffee shop.

Mila ordered a mango smoothie and Damien ordered coffee.

Walking out he watched her enjoy it.

"Is it good?" he asked.

She nodded, "Very, do you want to try "

He looked at the offered drink and frowned.

She fluttered, "Something wrong "noticing his eyes on the straw. "Oh sorry I forgot I already used it, you can drink from the cup "Her hand moved to take off the cover.

They had shared her fork back during lunch so she thought he would not mind.

"It's not that "he stopped her.

Mila stopped gazing at him. him.

"Sweet, I don't enjoy sweet things, "he said.

"Oh, "she pulled away her drink sipping again.

"But I can try " he said.

"No need if you don't like it ", she said.

His arm suddenly slid to her waist and Mila felt the air around her shift as he got her close to him.

His lips met hers without warning. The warmth from his met with the softness of her lips.

She felt his tongue lick her lips and pull back, he licked his lips like he was tasting something good.

"Your right it's sweet, "he said.

Mila felt her face burn in embarrassment. What had he done they were public and he was kissing her like it was okay.

She pushed him away, "Dont do that, we are in public, "she said

He smiled, "Mila your face is...."

She turned away before he could finish rushing off.

"Wait for me, Mila, "he said following her with a smile on his face.
