Sébastien McNamara was the most handsome man I have ever seen. But of course he's way out of my league, so I don't have any expectations to ever have a man as handsome and alluring as him. He comes into the restaurant that my family owns at least twice a month. My family's restaurant is not the fanciest, but the food here is excellent. And I'm not just saying that because my family owns it, just being honest. My father was raised poor, but he worked hard to build our restaurant from the ground up. My father, Thomas Blackburn named our restaurant after his mother who he loved dearly, its called Rosalee's. Yeap just that simple name, but my father is proud to name it after one of the strongest women in the world. My grandmother passed away 10 years ago from ovarian cancer. That has been the hardest thing for my family. She died before my father had saved up enough to get the restaurant up and running. My mother is the sweetest most loving mother, it is her recipes that she inherited from her great grandmother who was a wonderful cook at least that is what I have been told. Elexsia Mo'ne Blackburn get your head out of the clouds those tables are not going to clear themselves, my mother scolded me. When my mom calls my full name out I know I'm in trouble. Mary Blackburn stands at about 5'2 but when she calls my full name I know she means business. Yes, mother I call as I start to clear the tables. I only work here part time as I'm still in school working on my business degree so I can help my father with the running of the business. I lend a hand waiting tables when I'm need, which is not all the time, but Laurie had to call in today, because her son Jackson is sick. Laurie Thomas is my best friend, she has been working for my family since we where in high school. Laurie got pregnant in high school our junior year by a scum who dumped her and said the baby wasn't his. But of course Jack is his because he was Laurie's first. But Laurie was so in love with Lorenzo Hammond since we were in middle school, when he notice how she filled out in high school he started talking to her and all common sense flew out the window. As for me I don't date, the boys my age were childish and I never took an interest in anyone. That is until Sébastien walked into our restaurant that's when all common sense flew out of the window. Lex what is gotten you so distracted, my mother asked. There is no way in hell I'm going to tell my mom what's going on in my head, so I say oh sorry mom I'm thinking about the business math class I'm taking. She seems to buy my response, so I get back to clearing the dishes. Today was a busy day, its now 10:30 pm, we close at 10:00, but the clean up takes us about an hour and a half. Sébastien what do you plan on doing this weekend? Sébastien looked up to see Drake Mitchell his best friend sitting across from him. Damn, he thought in his head I'm distracted today I didn't hear him come in, and that's just not me. I have excellent hearing and instinct, so how the hell did he make it into my office without me hearing. Not only that but he's sitting right across from me. Drake has a strange look on his face when he asks, man what's with you today. I was sitting here for 15 minutes before I spoke, this is not like you. What's on your mind? He looks at Drake , I can't seem to get her off my mind. Drake sighs please tell me you are not thinking of getting back with Monica. Sébastien say are you out of your mind, I'm done with that man. Drake looks at him with a puzzled expression. Sébastien never told Drake or anyone about the girl he can't seem to get off his mind. There is this girl, I've been going to Rosalee's, you know the restaurant that's on 4th and Broadway. Drake's eyes widen, please tell me you didn't. Sébastien looked, Oh no no no, I just go there to eat and watch her I know there is no good that can come out of a relationship with her but I love to watch her. if that's all I can do it will have to be enough. Drake looks like he doesn't believe me. Even I'm starting to wonder if I'm fooling myself. Tomorrow is Friday and I have my regular reservation at Rosalee's at 8:00, why do I always feel nervous and excited when it's close to the time. Ok how about I join you next time you go. Bastien, I look up at Drake and he's staring at me like I grew another head. Bastien is the nick name he gives me, I think it's so close to bastard and that's the only reason he calls me that. What, I asked. You didn't hear a word I said, did you. Sorry, I told you I'm distracted, what did you say? I asked if it was okay if I joined you next time you go? I would love to see the woman who's got your mind distracted. Yes you can come but you better be on your best behavior. Sébastien McNamara is the son of the leader of the McNamara Coven.

My alarm goes off at six in the morning. Today is the day I think to myself. My name is Natasha Knight I'm twenty-three years old. I have my first interview since graduating from college downtown at the Maxwell building downtown. The Maxwell group is a prestigious business that handles everything from advertising, modeling, to anything else you can name, they have their hands in everything. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. I have to land this job, this will be the fifth job interview I've been on this week. I'm either overly qualified or under qualified. I get out of bed gather my things for a shower, and pick out a blue pinstriped suit. Looking at the suit I quickly change my mind to a skirt with a whit blouse and blazer. After I finish getting ready I make my way to the kitchen to fix a light breakfast. When I get to the kitchen my room mate and best friend since grade school Sasha Drake is standing over the stove cooking breakfast. Hey Sasha what's for breakfast I ask. She looks at me and says are you really wearing that she says. What's wrong with what I have on. Are you really asking me that. Look Sasha this is the fifth interview and I really need this job. I have something for you it's laid out on bed. I got to Sasha's room and laying on her bed is the most beautiful suit I have ever seen. I quickly take off my clothes and put on the new suit. When I come back to the kitchen Sasha turns. I knew that suit would look good on you. Sasha I can't believe you got me this, it's beautiful. Well I seen how down you have been about the interviews I figured you needed a morality boost. I hug her with tears in my eyes, thanks Sash I really needed it. Now let's eat breakfast you don't want to be late. I've got a good feeling about this one. You didn't have to do this Sash, but I'm so glad you did. To tell the truth I didn't just get it for you, I figured I could get a couple of wears out of it too. Good thing we are the same size she laughs. As I'm sitting there eating breakfast I'm feeling more optimistic than I was when I first woke up. Just maybe this day will the start of a great day. I leave the house at seven, like Sasha said I don't want to be late and since it's a thirty minute drive it gives me plenty of time to spare. I arrive at the Maxwell building early and find a parking spot. I enter the building and go to the security desk. Hi, my name is Natasha Knight I have a interview with Luke Townsand. The security guard says please sign in. He gives me a pass and shows me where the elevators are tells me to go to the twenty second floor. I thank him and head to the elevators. There are people waiting on the elevator when I arrive so I wait for the next elevator since I'm early. The elevator opens and I step in and hit floor twenty two. Before the elevator could shut, I see a long arm stop the doors from shutting. And in walks the most handsome man I have ever seen. He presses the twenty forth floor. I smile when he looks at me, but he doesn't smile back. He looks at me doesn't smile doesn't say anything just stares. I'm feeling a little uncomfortable but I don't say anything, I just stare ahead. Not surprising someone like him would be arrogant and snobbish. He's going to a different floor so I won't have to work with him. The elevator door opens and I get out without saying a word. I make my way to the receptionist. How may I help you she says. Hello my name is Natasha Knight I have an interview with Luke Townsend. Have a seat I'll let him know you are here. Thank you I say and take a seat. Five minutes later a tall handsome man comes out. Hello Mrs Knight it's a pleasure to meet you I'm Luke. It's nice to meet you to Mr. Townsend, please call me Luke. We shake hands, and you can call me Nat. We walk to his office and he tells me to take a seat. Tell me a little about yourself Nat. Before I could voice a word his phone rings. I'm sorry I have to take this it's the boss. While I sit there I'm thinking to myself I thought he was the boss. He has a strange expression on his face, which makes me nervous. Damn I need this job. He hangs up the phone and says sorry about the interruption. Tell me about yourself. Well I attended Westlake college and graduated in the top 10 percent of my class. He stops me and says, no I want to know about you. I know where you went to school, I also know how well you did in college. I want to know about you. Ok, well I am an only child. My mother and father both have been married for 20 years and I'm an only child. I live with my best friend since grade school. This is the fifth interview I've been on since I graduated. I have either been over qualified or under qualified. Which you know I really don't understand that concept. I just graduated how can I possible be over qualified. I'm sorry did I just say that out loud. He laughs, I could never understand that either don't feel bad. Is there anything else you would like to know. Can you start tomorrow. Yes.
