Chapter 32

I woke up before John and had a mission trying to get out of bed.

His arm was like a vice around my waist and everytime I moved,he tighten the hold.

Picking up a shirt from the floor,I finally made it to the bathroom and relieved my poor bladder.

My entire body was screaming at me. Just a reminder of last night.

Pushing it aside, I made my way to the kitchen and started making breakfast.

It must have woken him up because I felt his hands wrapped around my waist and a head on my shoulder.

"Good morning" his voice was so dreamy.

"Morning".

"I thought you had ran away when you weren't in bed".

"Even if I wanted to,which isn't definitely happening,I couldn't. It will be a very long swim".

He laughed and put his head on my neck.

"Smells good, the food though".

"That was so cheesy!" I laughed.

"You look beautiful in my shirt". he whispered before turning me around and kissed me.

He looked way too good for a morning. His hair a mess ,with strands hanging down. His eyes bright.

The food was done and we ate quickly because we have to get back to dry land.

Once we arrived,the car was waiting for us. It took us back to the house and we got the rest of our stuff to go get on the plane.

It had been a few weeks since we went to Las Vegas together again and things were going perfectly okay.

I sat at my desk working, when John came in.

"To what do I owe this pleasure Mr Smith?"

"Oh the pleasure will be both ours, Miss George". he smirked, locking the door ad walked towards me.

Spinning my chair around,he leaned forward and kissed me passionately. He lifted me into the desk and my skirt rode up. He stepped between my legs and continued to kiss me.

Trailing his hand up my leg,he made good on his promise for it to both our pleasure.

We lay on the floor of my office in silence. My head laid on his chest and I could hear his heartbeat. After a while,he spoke.

"My family wants to meet you. "he said it so quietly,I almost missed it. Sitting up,I looked at him shocked.

"My sister came by the other day and saw us coming in together. She told my parents and they really want to meet you".

"Do you want me to meet them?"

We had only been together for two months now.

"Of course I do. You are important to me."

I just died.

"Then okay. Name a time and place and I'll be there". I gave him a quick kiss and got up, putting my clothes back on.

It was the day when am going to meet his family. To say I was nervous was an understatement.

I'd spent the last three hours trying different outfits but it all felt wrong.

"Babe,just pick something". John was already bored. He was lying on the bed waiting for me to pick a dress.

"I can't, nothing feels right. Can you pick for me?" it's the best thing I could think of at the moment. He knew his parents better than I.

When he left for the walk in closet,I recalled all he told me.

His mom,Susan is a big time fashion designer. His dad, Thomas used to be the CEO of Smith Enterprise until he handed it over to John. Now he was the chairman.And his sister, Priscilla was a makeup artist. Her boyfriend Matthew is a owner of a gallery here in New York.

He came back out with an outfit,he had a good eye. He'd pick a black tank top,black skinny jeans and a dusty pink Jacket that Ashley made me buy a few weeks ago. He paired it all with an oversized bag and and a slivery heels.

Once I put it on,he grabbed my hand.

"You are going to be just fine". he kissed my forehead and we got in the car. He decided to drive today ,it was really fascinating to see him drive.

It was my first time to see him handling the wheel so perfect.

"Like what you see, babe?" he smirked,his eyes still on the road. I blushed as he chuckled.

An hour later,we drove down a long driveway to his parents house. He came to my side of the car and wrapped his hands around my waist while we walked towards the house.

He walked straight in and called out.

"We're here !"

A girl came running up to him and hugged him.

"Can't breathe Priscilla!" he choked out. She let him go and turned to me.

"It's so nice to finally meet you!" she pulled me into a bone crushing hug too.

"Please don't crush the poor girl before she's even stepped into the door, Priscilla". A woman's voice called out.

"Hello my beautiful mom" John smiled while hugging his mom.

"It's been too long Mr. But I forgive you because you finally brought this beauty over". She came over to me and gave me a once over before she pulled me into a hug.

And here I felt silly for being so nervous.

"Come on. The food is ready,your dad is already in the dinning room."

We followed her and Priscilla to the huge dinning room. It was clearly made for big dinner parties.

His dad came up and introduced himself before we all sat and began eating. Gosh, it was so delicious.

"So Jasmine,I hear you're John's PA?" his mom asked.

"Yeah.For a while now."

"What made you go into it?"

"Honestly,I would have gone for any job. I had to support my family,and also am lucky I took up this job,if not I would have met my prince charming". I said smiling.

"Awwwww,that so beautiful. I hope you don't mind but John informed us about what happened to your mother. I'm so sorry about your loss". she grabbed my hand over the table.

"Thank you"

I held my breath to force back the tears that were able to drop from my eyes.

We continued to chat about random things until everyone finished their food.

Priscilla and Matthew were some much fun to be with.

I offered to help Susan with the dishes while John went to talk to his Dad in his office.

"You two seems to be taken into each other",she commented with a smile.

"Yeah he is,more than great. But I don't really need to tell you that,being his mom".

She laughed.

"Take it from me honey,when you have something that is quite clearly good for both of you, something so strong,you should take hold of it and never let it go".

"I know". I nodded at her.

"Do you love him?"

Did I

I know I have a very strong feeling for him but isn't it too soon for that?

"Well whenever you figure it out,don't wait too long to say it",she nudged me with a wink.

I gave her a smile back and we continued with the dishes, leaving me with a lot to think about.

JOHN'S POV

Dad has stolen me away to his office after mom took Jasmine. I can only imagine the gossips they would be sharing.

Everyone really embraced Jasmine. And she had them. it was the best feeling ever. I don't know what I would have done if they didn't get along.

"She is great son. But are you sure you are ready for this part again. It's been a year".

"I know what am doing Dad. I really like her. Maybe even......Anyway, I'm sure".

"Just checking. She's too nice to be strung along. But if it's what you want then go for it".

"Thanks Dad"

He poured a Scotch and handed me a glass. We clinked our glasses together and drank.
