"That's a good thing, I guess if you're mad at me and hearing my voice," He said, following a small laugh. June sighed and shook her head.
"Hmmm!" June smiles, Dami looked back and froze at the sight of Jason.
"Hey, baby," Jason says, she froze looking confused, Jason had just called her baby.
"Hey, I was surprised to see you," She said, slowly getting up from the grass.
"Yeah, I missed you," he says, Dami's heart skipped, hearing these words from him, made her blush, and her cheeks turned red instantly. "And I am sorry, I hadn't come over, I just thought it might be a little uncomfortable, however, I am here cause I want to explain myself," he said.
"You did?" She smiles, staring at him.
"Didn't you want me to?" he asked, they both locked eyes with each other. Dami lowered her eyes meeting his lips, she smiled looking away.
"Well, I did," She said, and looked towards June.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't think we would meet like this," he said.
"Yeah, I understand... I wasn't either, normally we are the only ones but I didn't think, Mrs Valentine would invite others" she looked at him.
"Yeah, she adores Kyra" Jason had a smile.
"Yeah, you must know her really well," She said, not realising she was talking to him, The car became silent for a minute, and Dami looked at him, and he smirked at her.
"Yeah, she took me in as a kid, and then my parents adopted me" He raised his brows at her, Dami opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't. She didn't know he was and never thought about it, the media had given a different story.
Jason chuckled, leaning forward, "You don't have to say anything, that's me just letting a part of my life," he said, caressing her chin, taking crumbs of cake plastered on her.
Damilola watched his hands graze her lips softly. And he looked at her, smiling.
Jason leaned forward slowly, locking his eyes in hers until she had them closed and let his breath fan against her face. Jason smiled at her reaction and whispered in her ears following a kiss on her cheeks.
"We could escape this?" He said, Dami's eyes opened and she looked at him, Jason's hand craned the back of her neck, while his eyes danced around her.
Dami's phone vibrated, she pulled back, catching her breath silently, Jason looked at her hand, she must have had her phone in her pocket, he then and moved away from her. She had a message, and Dami reached out for it.
The ID said, June. Confusingly, she looked around, June had already disappeared.
"Where do you want to go?" He stood straight putting his hands in her pocket...
"I don't know" she replied, her heart raced, and she quickly opened the message.
"My place?" He asked, with a silly smile, while she scrolled her phone.
"Sure... anywhere is fine," She said, and opened June's message.
"Okay then" he replied, with a soft laugh.
June; This is a children's home, so you should excuse us, don't worry about cleaning up the kids and I can handle this, have a good time!
Dami smiled and looked at him, Jason's wide-eyed gaze into her.
"Oh, sorry what were you saying?" She gulped and placed her phone in her pocket.
"You decided to go with my place" He stated, Dami choked instantly, and side-glanced at him.
"I want to show you my place, but if you don't want to, that's fine" he added. "I have a restaurant I just opened" He stated, Dami's eyes went sad, she did hope to see his place, but she wasn't going to argue.
After the drive that seemed long, they arrived at a restaurant, that looked expensive from what she could see.
"We are here" Jason smiled.
"Mexican restaurant?" she glanced at him.
"What you don't eat Mexican?" He asked, seeing the way she looked uncomfortable.
"Oh, it's fine I do," She said
"Okay then," Jason got down, and so did she, Dami wore a facemask, and held her bag in her hand, Jason stared at her confused.
"Why?" He asked, smiling confusingly.
"I just like to, who knows been seen with you could cause a headline,"
"Oh, and what headline?"
"Singapore's billionaire bachelor was seen on a date with a young lady who owns a bakery" She uttered. Jason laughed, and reached for hands, locking his with hers.
"Oh," Jason smiled. "I see"
"Yeah, I carry them just in case," She said, gulping.
"Wow, you're careful" Jason stared at her.
"Yeah," She smiled in return. "I think you need one," she said, Jason smiled and shook his head.
"You're quite funny, you know that?" He asked.
They both arrived at the entrance, and a woman in a red uniform, welcomed them, meanwhile, Damilola looked around the fancy small restaurant.
"Mrs Brenda?" Jason says to the waiter that stood at the entrance.
"Sorry?" The waiter asked confused, she looked at Damilola and back at Jason.
"I have a reservation under Mrs Brenda" He points out, Damilola stared at him speechlessly, who the heck was Mrs Brenda?
"A minute please" She picked up her file, and went through it.
"Oh, made by what time?" She asked.
"Noon," He replied, Damilola quickly checked the time, it was past seven and he made it three hours before coming to her.
"Alright sir, this way please" She dropped the book and they followed.
They helped them to a closed place, the door opened and they walked in
"Someone would be with you shortly," She says, stepping out.
"Thank you," Jason says, as soon as the door closed, he took off his glasses.
"Brenda?" Damilola took off her glasses, dropping her phone on the table.
"I usually use it when I decide to go private, it's my aunt's" he explained,
"Oh, does she know?" Damilola asked.
"Yeah, I pay with her card," He says, taking out a debit card and showing it to her.
"Oh, my goodness" Damilola shook her head laughing, and Jason followed after.
"When I am done, I make the transfers back to her," He says, Damilola smiled amazed by his skills.
"That's very kind of her to let you use her name and card," Damilola says, smiling.
"Yeah, she's the best" Jason praised, giggling.
"Mrs Brenda?" they heard a knock, Damilola and Jason quickly adjusted their mask.
The door opened and a different lady stood, "Can I get your order?" she asked.
"Oh, a minute" Jason picked up the menu, "What would you like?"
"Just salad, that would be all" She smiled at the lady who was constantly staring at her.
"You sure?" Jason asked, she had more pastries and was slightly filled.
"Yeah, that's just okay," she says, the waiter had her eyes on Jason this time.
"Then I would get the same thing," He passed the menu to the lady.
"Alright," she took her eyes off him and proceeded to leave.
"Hey?" Jason reached out for Dami's hand, she looked distracted and uncomfortable. He felt she was because of the way the waiter had stared at her. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Can we?" She swallowed and looked at him. "Can we go to your place?" She asked, Jason froze, staring at her, "Honestly, I think it's better there" She said lightly, her eyes dimmed.
"Alright, if you say so," He says, picking up his cell, "you sure about that?" He asked, Damilola giggled, taking his hands
"I am... I can't?" She gave a silly look. That look made Jason smile lewdly, and his adam apple rolled.
"Okay..." He held her hands tighter, and Damilola's face flushed red.
They arrived at the entrance, Damilola's eyes fell on the waiter who was supposed to take their order,
"Are you leaving?" She asked, bowing slightly.
"Yes, we are... Could you cancel the order?"
"Sir?" Shock flashed through her eyes, she looked at Damilola, who couldn't keep eye contact with her, and "I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable" she said glancing apologetically.
"No, it's fine... It was my lady's choice" he said, Damilola looked at him, she must have not heard well, did he just call her his lady?
"Oh, I'm sorry" she apologized to Damilola, she had a faint smile that disappeared immediately.
"Huh?" She shifted her gaze to her, Jason could sense her staring at him.
"It's fine, let's go" he whispered, wrapping his hands around her waist slowly. She could feel her heart beating in her chest, Damilola inhaled with a small smile. "Are you okay?" He asked, she looked at him and giggled.
"Your lady?" She shrugged, tilting her head, Jason fell silent, a subtle naughtiness flashed through her eyes. He chuckled.
"Ain't you?" His deep hoarse voice asked, Damilola shrunk under his lustful gaze, and her mouth twitched.
"I... I-I... I don't know" she stuttered, a naughty smile graced his lips, he took her hands and said
"You don't have to feel shy around me, do I intimidate you?" Damilola wasn't sure, if she should reply, she gulped, looking up at him.
"Sort of" her shoulder raised to her answers. Jason's smile didn't leave his lips, and he also doesn’t miss the way her dark eyes crawl over him. He pulls her closer.
"I like you Damilola" he licked his lips, Damilola froze at his words, they were like arrows piercing into her heart and causing a commotion.
Damilola couldn't deny that she loves his solid build, the hold she isn’t strong enough to break free from.
"Jason... I don't" Jason tightens his hands around her waist.
"I want you," he kissed her cheek, her facemask had prevented him from reaching her mouth, Damilola swallowed, she couldn't deny, she wanted to tug at his lips with deep kisses, run her hands through his hair, while his hands explored her body, she twitched with those crazy thoughts. "Do you, Dami?" he questioned.
Her eyes met with his, and she still couldn't help but shrink under those lustful eyes, heat rose in her chest sharply. "Yes," she gulped at her reply. "Make me yours, Jason" she spat.
