Chapter 25: Chapter 25

I couldn't stop thinking about Michael….he is everything I ever want and even more than. As Comfort and I prepared for work,I am happy I don't have to stay at home while Comfort went to work.

I tried to avoid having a conversation with David about what went on that day we went out together,and I succeeded because he had to go on a short trip for work.

"Is there going to be a uniform too?" Comfort asked.

"I should think so." I answered.

"Okay." She responded.

We got to work as early as we could, since I had to join in the cooking. Comfort applied for being a waitress instead,and said she wanted to try new things and it was okay with me since she still earns better than what we both did in De ultimate.

"Here's your uniform, and you know where the kitchen is." The woman, who I think managed the place, said.

"Thank you." We said, together.

"You're welcome darlings, now go before the big boss comes around." She said.

The uniform is just a shirt, but it's beautiful and a pair of trousers…. no wonder they asked for our sizes the last time we came. Mine also had an apron to avoid stains and what not.

"We're going to have fun working here." Comfort said.

"We will, but I have to go to the kitchen now." I told her, which she nodded to.

The others were people I saw the day we came for the interview with the exception of the head chef who was among the judges.

"You're Precious right?" He asked.

"Yes sir…..have I done anything wrong?" I asked.

Smiling lightly, he shook his head."Mr Richard wants you to cook the same rice you cooked that day of the interview."

"Oh...okay" I was cut unaware, I knew he liked it, but I didn't think he'd trust me to cook on the day they were officially opening the restaurant.

"Good, let's get to work." The chef said.

With help from everyone in the kitchen, we were done and I noticed the chef kept some separate but I didn't ask because it wasn't any of my business.

"He asked me to do it." He said when he saw me looking.

"Sure." I replied.

Not long after, orders started coming in. It was like they were all waiting for the restaurant to be opened or something. Little by little, the food we cooked was almost finished but the orders kept on increasing so I was asked to cook another pot only this time, bigger than the last.

I was so exhausted when we were finally done, I just sat down where I was comfortable enough and I didn't move but just stared as the others kept on arranging the place.

"You did very well." I heard Mr Richard say,and I quickly jumped to my feet.

"I'm sorry sir, I just thought I should rest for a while." I told him quickly.

"It's okay, the people liked the food and they wouldn't stop ordering for more." He continued.

"Thank you Sir." I said.

After I was done resting and Comfort had also finished, we decided to make our way back home and get ready for another full day tomorrow. I wasn't complaining because it's something I loved doing and the pay is more than twice of De ultimate.

"The girls are nice, even the guys weren't bad." Comfort said.

"I didn't have time to say anything to them except giving them orders…..more like telling them what to do." I told her.

"Everyone kept saying how good the food was, and I wanted to tell them...my best friend made it, better come back again." She said, making me laugh which I didn't do all day.

"You sound exhausted." She said, noticing how my laughter came out.

"I am." I replied, yawning for emphasis sake.

I was excited to call Michael to tell him how my day went, and how Mr Richard complimented my effort.

"Sorry I couldn't come around today." Michael said when he called later that night.

"It's fine, and besides I was in the kitchen throughout so there was no way you could have seen me." I told him.

"I would've waited till you were done." He answered, and I smiled at how kind his words were.

"I missed you today." I said quietly.

"You have no idea how much I wanted to ditch work Angel... I thought about you all day." He said, and I didn't need anyone to tell me I was blushing heavily.

I wouldn't tell him this, but he has a way with words and I could listen to him all day without getting tired.

"How's Sugar?" I asked.

"He received a contract, so he's a little busy." He answered, and I nodded in understanding.

"So what kept you busy today?" I asked, when I couldn't think of anything else to ask and I also didn't want to end the call despite how tired I claim to be.

I was slowly becoming addicted to him being available whenever I wanted and he didn't seem to mind.

He told me he had enough things to do at his place of work, then he had to pick up his younger sister from school because he promised her but on their way, she decided she wanted to go out and have fun alone with him and he could not tell her no so basically he had no choice.

I was happy he loved hanging out with his younger ones, which means he loves kids. Hopefully he'd be like that with our own kids…..yea, I know I'm thinking fast but I want him to be in my future.

"Are you there?" I heard him ask.

"Yea, sorry I was just thinking about something." I replied quickly.

"Maybe you should rest, since you have another long day tomorrow." He advised.

"But I missed you all day." I whined, childishly but I didn't care.

"Trust me Angel I missed you more." He replied.

"Then don't cut the call." I said.

"What about I come around tomorrow when you're done with work." He suggested and immediately, I started smiling.

"I'd love that." I said, not keeping the excitement out of my voice.

It hasn't been long since we saw each other, but I still miss him, especially his lips….I pray I don't jump his bones when I see him.

"Tomorrow it is then. Goodnight Angel." He said.

"Night Mikey." I replied.

Immediately I dropped the call, I turned off the light in the room and collected Comfort's phone from her since she fell asleep holding it and I knew she was talking to the guy she'd gone out with once, hopefully he's serious about her. As soon as I lie down on the bed I was out as light.
