Chapter 6: Chapter 6

It has been a week since I started working with De ultimate restaurant and apart from that rich businessman who was always asking for me and leaving large tips, everything was going great. The girls are nice and we got along, even Comfort wasn't left out.

"I swear,he was looking at you." Tracy said. She'd been trying to convince me that the hot customer we saw was looking at me.

Ok in case you're lost, I went to collect the order from Table 6 when my eyes fell on the two greek gods sitting on Table 7 and damn they looked hot as if they'd just stepped out of a Vogue magazine and I wasn't exaggerating.

The two of them were good looking but the darker was it for me at that point,with the way his suit hugged his body I could swear he had abs which I wished I could run my hands through….I can't believe I am thinking like this about someone I barely know. Let's not talk about how perfect his face is and how completely kissable his lips looked, I'm sure I thought about kissing it more than once.

Then after they left Tracy,who was lucky to serve their table, said they were looking at me, especially the one with the suit and she thinks I'm crazy to believe her.

"I'm telling you there's no way he was looking at me,you were probably imagining things." I argued.

"I know what I saw." She said.

"Ok, I believe I can serve the customers now?" I asked

"Just so you know, I'm not lying but you can go." She murmured and I laughed at her childish behavior.

As I went out to serve the orders I had collected,I thought of David who has been nothing but nice to me since the day we came...and he wasn't bad looking either.

"He's here again." Tracy whispered as she made her way past me to go collect orders.

Truly,he was sitting there again but without the other person and I wished I had gone out earlier, maybe I'd have collected his order.

"What do you want today sir?" I asked with a bored tone, because I was getting fed up with the way I was called on whenever the businessman came and the worst is how he wouldn't take his eyes off my body and it was really disgusting.

"The usual,or do you have any suggestions on what I should take instead?" He asked.

"No,the usual it is, Sir." I continued and I looked up from my book but mistakenly….or maybe not,my eyes darted towards the direction where the handsome customer sat and surprisingly,his eyes were on me too and damn when he smiled I felt butterflies in my stomach.

I quickly removed my eyes from his,I shouldn't be thinking of any man right now, not after everything Vincent did. What is the assurance that he wasn't like Vincent….and why am I even thinking about him? He was affecting me just without talking or touching me.

"Did you see him this time?" Tracy asked excitedly as I entered the kitchen to carry the man's order.

"Yeah, but possibly he thought I looked familiar." I reasoned and it made sense in my head.

"Really." She deadpanned

"Well it made sense when I said it in my head." I told her.

I didn't get to see the fine stranger again because the chef decided to keep me busy in the kitchen. I helped dish the food to be served.

"I'm so tired,that woman is just mean." I complained.

"At least you don't have to wash all the plates used and there is barely any break." Comfort said, and even her voice sounded tired.

"Sorry." I apologize because I knew my work was still easier since I have time to even gist.

"It's not your fault,come on tell me about the handsome man you saw." She begged.

I told her everything apart from the fact that I was having wet thoughts about an innocent person and she squealed excitedly.

Just as we stepped out of the restaurant, I saw a familiar face staring at me and I became shy all of a sudden.

"Comfort,do you see the man standing over there? And don't look till I ask you to." I commanded.

"Ok."

"That's the person I'm telling you about." I whispered quietly so he wouldn't hear,not that he would anyways.

"Holy molly…. he's a f**king eye candy, I'm so jealous you get to see this face everyday." Comfort said not too quietly.

"Shush…. he's looking over." I said, trying to cover her mouth.

"What is he even doing out by this time?" I thought, embarrassed by the fact that he knew we were talking about him.

"You keep that up and I'm going to drag you all the way home." I threatened.

"Is it just me or is he walking towards us?" Comfort asked, and I turned my head quickly and truly he was walking towards us.

"He's probably going to sue us." I guessed.

"What for?" She asked as if it wasn't obvious enough.

"Eye raping him duh." I said but before she could reply, the man was standing in front of us.

"Good evening sir." I greeted and he smiled revealing his perfect dentition and if I didn't ogle him before, I definitely I'm ogling him now.

"Call me Michael or Mike for short,sir is really formal." He said,and his voice is a huge turn on. I'm sure I'm dripping wet now.

"Uhm...ok..sir….I mean Michael." I stuttered

"Way to go precious." I thought.

"What's your name please?" He asked

"Precious...my name is Precious." I answered.

"Nice to meet you,and you have a nice name too." He said,and I smiled.

"What's your name?" He asked Comfort who was smiling beside me.

"Comfort." She answered.

"We both have beautiful names, Comfort is it okay if I talk to Precious please." He asked, he is such a gentleman...no I'm not thinking about that.

"She's all yours." Comfort said, and I glared at her.

"Such a friend you are, sending me to the wolves." I thought.

"Thanks." He said.

We walked in the direction of our house since it wasn't far from the restaurant but there was no way I'm allowing him to know where I stay.

"We wanted to talk." I said when he didn't say anything.

"Sorry,I don't know where to start, that won't make me sound creepy." He joked.

"I hope you're not one?" I asked him and I heard him chuckle….this should be a crime,I mean people this good looking should be in prison.

"I'm not." He answered,and I pretended to heave a sigh in relief.

"It's late,and I don't want to keep you waiting, so do you think you can make time to talk to me tomorrow and maybe I can get your number?" He asked

"No" I answered both questions and I saw a hurt flash through his features.

"Oh... okay." He replied not sounding the way he did five years ago.

"It's not what you're thinking,I can't leave work to talk to you because I can get fired and I really need the job and I can't give you my number because I don't have a phone." I quickly explained.

I wasn't sure why I felt the need to explain myself when I didn't owe him any explanation but I felt relieved when I saw him smile again.

"I understand,but I can come when you close but that is if you want." He said.

I was happy he didn't talk about the fact that I didn't have a phone. I didn't see the use while I was with Vincent since I was always around him when I wasn't working and I didn't have friends except Comfort and we saw each other every day.

"That's okay,." I told him.

"Thank you. Can I walk you home?" He asked,but there was no way I'm allowing him.

"No, it's fine I'm almost there already and my friend is here." I told him.

He looked like he was about to argue and I didn't have all the time for that since I needed to rest before tomorrow.

"I insist,but thank you." I said,and he smiled defeated.

"Goodnight Precious." He said and I've never heard my name sound sexy like it did when he called it and I decided to yes his name too.

"Goodnight Michael." I said,and I saw his smile widened.

"What am I getting myself into?" I thought as I ran to catch up with Comfort.
