Chapter 5

Adrianna Valdez's POV

"Adri!"

I turned around to see a very frazzled Olivia rushing towards me. "Would you mind taking care of Trevor for a while until Drake gets home? I have to fetch Drake's mother from the airport and I'm really late."

I nodded and took Trevor from her arms and stroked his cheek carefully, "Where's Drake?"

Olivia rolled her eyes as she grabbed her bags, "At the racecourse, most probably getting too distracted with his car."

I nodded and she was off. I was alone in the house today, Damien had left needing to do some work and I was calling all the florist and cake shops that could cater to Olivia's grandparent's demands.

Trevor gurgled and I smiled softly. I loved children. He clutched my fingers tightly in his arm and kicked his feet happily. I murmured, "You're gonna be a very spoilt baby aren't you? You look just like your daddy. You even have his dimples don't you?"

Trevor just grinned at me and my heart melted. He was so precious. I stroked a finger against his cheek and jumped when Damien called out, "This must be what it feels like for a husband coming home from work and seeing his family waiting for him."

I rolled my eyes and scoffed, "What rubbish are you talking about now Damien?"

I placed Trevor in his bassinet and shot Damien a condescending glance.

Damien grinned heartbreakingly at me and leaned towards me. On instinct, I leaned away from him and he chuckled, "Feeling nervous agápē mou?"

I narrowed my eyes at him, "W-what are you doing?" I stammered as Damien leaned towards me.

Toughen up Adrianna! Don't let him know he affects you.

"Kissing you." With that his lips crashed against mine. His lips were soft and moved against mine with such intensity. He nibbled on my lower lip, making me gasp and his tongue delved into my mouth. Sparks of desire raced across my skin and an unknown feeling crept into my heart.

Attraction sizzled between us and I pulled him closer, desperate for the kiss he is giving.

Never had I been kissed with such intensity before in my life. Not even with Jake.

Jake!

Immediately, a cold bucket of water splashed over in my mind. How could I forget Jake? What was I doing? I pushed Damien away and hurriedly took a few steps away from him. "You shouldn't have done that Damien. I have a boyfriend." Who is dead. Six years ago.

"Tell me you felt that." His blue eyes gazed into mine. He stepped towards me, caging me against the wall.

"Felt what? I have no idea what you are talking about." I said coolly with a straight face, trying to calm my pounding heart. No way could I let Damien know how much he had affected me.

A smirk crossed his handsome face, "You're lying agapēméne mou. I can almost see what you're feeling in your expressive blue eyes. Did you know that?"

I was in so much trouble. I scowled at him. "Think what you like." I said cooly, trying to calm my furiously beating heart.

Damien observed me and again without warning kissed me hard. My eyes drifted close and I pulled him closer to me, his hands drifted to my waist and held me tightly and my hands wrapped themselves around his neck.

"Damien would be surprised to see you. They're here-oh!"

Hearing Olivia's gasp made me push Damien away.

My eyes widened to see Olivia with two other women gazing at us with shock, confusion and glee. I seemed to vaguely recognise one of the older women. But I just couldn't remember her name. I was mortified.

"Mētéra, what are you doing here?" Damien asked, his voice still husky from the kiss we shared.

One of them stepped forward and embraced Damien happily, "Oh Damien darling! I'm here to see my unofficial grandson!" The woman turned to me and beamed sunnily, "Hello dearie! I'm Laura Doukas, Damien's mother."

I smiled, "Hi, I'm Adrianna, Trevor's godmother."

I reached out to shake her hand and instead I was pulled into her arms. "Ohh, welcome to the family! You're even more gorgeous in real life!" I frowned and laughed awkwardly, "Uhm. Uh. Thanks?"

"So when's the wedding?" I blinked and Damien groaned loudly, "Mētéra! Adrianna and I are not even dating. So we will never ever get married."

A little knife stabbed at my heart and I was hurt. I slapped myself mentally. What did you expect? Him to want to marry you after a mere kiss? He was a womaniser for goodness sake. He wouldn't marry you. I shouldn't even be feeling this way.

Laura glanced at me confused, "But both of you were kissing."

I flushed and said hastily, "It was nothing but a mistake. Damien and I are just friends." Laura glanced at Olivia and frowned, "Oh. But anyway, I'll still welcome you into the family!"

"Oh wow, that's- thank you Mrs. Doukas." I smiled at Laura who beamed at me. "No problem darling. Call me Laura."

After, Olivia introduced me to the other woman who I learned was Drake's mother Kaitlyn. Both Laura and Kaitlyn were amazingly nice and they sincerely welcomed me into their little family.

Meanwhile Damien was glowering in the corner sulking. Sometimes I could feel his glare penetrating me but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of glancing at him. It was my fault for allowing him to get close. Kissing him was definitely a mistake. Even though it was one of the best kisses I ever had.

Distancing myself from him would be the best thing to do. We were two different people and we couldn't ever be together. And maybe the unknown feelings I had for Damien would disappear as well. I had no room for him in my heart.

And when Trevor's birthday passes I would go back to Spain where everything would be back to normal. Hopefully, I'll be able to forget all about Damien and his stupid kisses.
