Chapter 23
From his laid position, Damon covered his burning face which was hot from embarra.s.sment and when he remembered what Hestia said before collapsing he discreetly wiped his cheeks. For sure this moment will be engraved in his mind forever. Damon peeked through his slightly raised arm to see Hestia's expression and he was glad to see mirth dancing in her mesmerizing eyes. Damon smiled knowing that she is finally letting her guard down around him.
Meanwhile, Ichigo discreetly answered his phone. His mom never knew he had one of course he will tell her eventually but for now he'll still keep it a secret because he will used it for his plans. "What is it uncle?"
"Why are you whispering?"
Ichigo looked over his parents and when he was sure that they are in their own little world, he pressed for a video call. He then focused the phone towards his parents.
---------------------
Lance accepted the call, he was wondering why his nephew opted for a video call and he was shocked to see his brother kneeling in front of Hestia.
"Kyaah....!!!"
Lance's eardrums exploded from his mom's high pitched squeal. He can't blame his mom because he's also tickled pink by his brother's actions.
Leo was rubbing his chin while watching and when he saw Damon kissed Hestia's hand he clapped and whistled. He was a proud father.
------------------------------
He sat up with his right arm resting on his raised knee. "I see that you're having fun."
Hestia smirked, "Ha! now you know what it feels like to be teased." It felt good to get even.
"Well I don't mind if you tease me often as long as it makes you happy." Damon reached for Hestia's hand
Hestia sat stock- still on her chair. Her naturally pouty lips opened and closed just like a fish out of the water.
Damon who's perceptive gave a quicked glance towards Ichigo and carefully raised a thumb. "You looked unconvinced. Then why not try to abuse my lips with a kiss." His words are very enticing. Hestia can't helped but be bewitched. Damon took that chance and cupped Hestia's face, he caressed her cheeks and gently guide her for a kiss.
Hestia pulled away from Damon when she realized how close she was on giving him a kiss. She was thankful that she regained her senses just in time to break from Damon's bewitching spell.
"Tsked!" Damon, his family and Ichigo was utterly disappointed. They were sitting on the edge of their sits antic.i.p.ating for the kiss but thanks to Hestia's will power it never happened.
--------------------------------------
"O what a b.u.mmer!" Lila exclaimed. Aside from Damon, she's the second most excited about the kiss and when it didn't happen she was left hanging. If she was there, she would 'accidentally nudge' Hestia just for the kiss to happen. Lance stomped his feet while Leo slammed his palm on the table from disapponment.
"Kiss! kiss! kiss!" Lance chanted in a loud voice. His mom chant with him. They badly wanted to see them kiss.
------------------------------
Ichigo abruptly end the phone call. His uncle was too loud, he did not want his mom to discover his phone so he must end the call. Ichigo quickly texted his apology and his reasons in ending the call.
"No harm done kiddo and I'm sorry for being too loud. If you needed help don't hesitate to contact me, we will gladly helped you with your plans! And also welcome to our family!" Ichigo's little heart was filled with warmth. Now he has no more worries about not being accepted by Damon's family.
Ichigo can't helped but chuckle when his grandma text him to call and let them know what happened. "My sweetest grandchild don't forget to tell grandma what happened next ok! I hope to see you soon. Love from your grandma and grandpa."
Putting the phone inside his pocket, Ichigo jumped down his chair and went to help his dad.
Ichigo put an arm over his father's shoulder, and whispered but Hestia heard it clearly. When did her son became that cheeky. "Don't be disappointed dad, you have the rest of your lifetime to kiss mom."
Damon chuckled, his son really knows how to boost his confidence. "Thanks Ichi, you sure your mom can fall for my charms?" They both glanced at Hestia.
Ichigo giggled. "Of course! You're mom's ideal type."
Damon nod, he was very satisfied to know that he was her type. "Then we're even cause your mom is my one and only type."
"Then we can only conclude that mom and dad are matched made in heaven." Damon and Ichigo laughed happily. They looked very pleased and happy.
On the other hand. Hestia was thinking that she's in big trouble. How can she possibly win against two sly foxes. She needs to call for reinforcements.
