The Assistant

London

KYRA'S POV

The week went by so fast and I dreaded the weekend.
Jayden was not happy about the trip at all. We'd fought about it so many times. But in the end there was nothing he could say or do that'd make me put him before my job. So he had to suck it up and actually trust me.

At least trust me enough for the both of us. Because ever since the party I couldn't stop thinking about David. And as much as I knew I couldn't act on anything, I still couldn't get him out of my head.

It didn't help that he was always so edible and always gave me really hot looks.

It was a long ass week.

Friday came and we traveled to London. I felt important travelling in first class. Although I would had pegged David for the private jet type.

We arrived at a 5 star hotel in the evening and our suite had adjoining rooms. David had insisted our rooms be close so we could work on the final touches of the presentation all day Saturday. Great!

The presentation was taking place Sunday morning at the company's offices. David would lead it, I was just there for support really. And to cater for his needs.

When we got to the suite I said goodnight to David, had a shower and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

The following morning, we woke up, cleaned up, had something to eat and got right into work.
I was happy about our level of concentration and how well we were actually working together.

We ordered in for lunch and ate while going through the finished product and making sure we knew it like the back of our hands.

When we were done David looked and me and said "I don't know about you but I could use a drink after all that work". He got off the chair he was seating on and headed towards his bedroom. "Let's meet back here in an hour and we'll go find a bar, have one or two drinks then come back and get some rest before tomorrow" he continued.

I just nodded and got up myself.

Seeing David in his element and all business like had made it impossible for me to concentrate. He looked so sexy.

I had to promise myself that I'd try be as closed off as possible in order to not flirt or have any kind of banter with him. I couldn't risk it.

We went to a nice cocktail bar and I ordered pornstar martinis and David ordered Jack Daniels and coke as soon as we sat down.

"I wouldn't have pegged you for a Jack and Coke guy, feels like such a girly drink. Real men have their whiskey neat" I joked.

He chuckled a little bit and answered, "are you questioning my masculinity Miss White"?

I took a sip of my drink and continued, "that's not what I'm trying to do, but you have to admit, that drink is girly".

"Well I'm comfortable enough in my masculinity to drink anything that I want to. I'd drink a pink cocktail and still be the manliest man in here. And if you still feel the need to question my masculinity any further, I can prove to you, just how manly I am" he said suggestively.
