HIS PERFECT MATCH

THREE

“Man, my mother and my sister are so much exhausting, can you believe this s**t man?” Victor asked his friend, Klaus, they were seated in his car, contemplating whether they could go for drinks or coffee at his favourite restaurant.

“What do you mean by exhausting; did anything happen and tell me, when did your sister come back from England?” He questioned and Victor sighed.

“The same reason why she came back, that little witch, can you imagine he came up with a plan with my mother to get me a wife by the end of the month, as much as it sounds ridiculous that is what they are planning and that is why that little witch came back from England.”

“And you agreed to it, you must be joking right?”

“I didn’t agree to it but I was given a condition to it, I can’t imagine my sister doing this to me.” He said and Klaus turned to look at him with a ‘what the hell are you talking about?’ look.

“Hey man you know I am not always a patient person just tell me what the hell is going on, I am not good at connecting dots.” He said and Victor exhaled sharply.

“Of course dumbass, my mom and Raquel made this plan to get me a girlfriend, so I am supposed to get a girlfriend or bring a girl home by the end of the month or they are getting me a girlfriend of their choice failure to which I will lose the company to my sister, that witch, she had all these planned and right now I don’t think if we should go for drinks or coffee, this is eating me up, you are my friend, what do you think I should do?”

“I think we should go for coffee, tomorrow is Monday you are working, and you don’t want to go to work with a hangover so I think we should go for coffee and then we can talk over it.” He said and Victor nodded.

“You are right, let us go for coffee then we can figure out the other things later, please take us to the la Vade Restaurant.” He said to his driver who started the car and drove the two to their favourite restaurant.

At the restaurant

“Jasmine, you are late again, how many times did I tell you about coming late to work, I am not going to repeat the same thing time and again, next time you come late, you lose your job, I hope you get that because this is not a f*****g toilet where you just come in and leave any time you want,” John said to Jasmine and she fringed back in fear, it was not her fault that she came late to work, it was so much for her to handle, no car, a lot of bills to pay and three jobs to work, she was already exhausted but she couldn’t afford to lose her restaurant job, it was the only job that she got good pay and she could not afford to lose it.

“I am sorry sir but there was just so much traffic and I couldn’t just walk here, I am sorry I won’t happen again, I am sorry.”

“Well it better not happen again, go join Grace over there and take the orders, come on, you are wasting time, come on hurry up and go take the orders, but remember the next time you come late, I will be forced to fire you, you do know how things work here right?”

“Of course sir, like is aid before it won’t happen again, I am sorry.” She said and walked into the changing room, few minutes later she walked out to take the orders from each table but then came across this regular table with regular customers, they were always taking coffee but that particular day they ordered a glass of juice each as they talked about business.

“Will you get me a bottle of water or what is your name?” A fat and an ugly am from the group asked but then his hand reached for her waist and she nicely and gently pushed his hand away.

“Sir, my name is Jasmine and I will be the one taking your order tonight.” She said and he chuckled.

“Yes, I already read that and now will you please get me my order, or next time I won’t use please.” He said with an evil grin and she smiled and then walked away from the table, she continued taking orders from the tables assigned to her and about five minutes later as she was passing by the chubby man’s table, he grabbed her by her hand and she squirmed almost screaming out his name loud.

“The actual f**k, I told you I was bringing your order, sir, everything is done in line and you will get your order now please, will you please let me go get your order, your grip is so tight and you are hurting me.”

“Wow, man look at how courageous she is, just a mere waitress and she has the audacity and the guts to cuss at me, b***h do you know who I am?” He questioned and she exhaled sharply, she already had a long day and did not want to make it much worse than it already was.

“Let her be, she is just following protocol, it is not like you are that hungry, please come on man, let the lady do her work.” One of the guys on the table said.

“Thank you.” She mumbled.

“Oh honey don’t thank me yet, just go and get things done, I am not your guardian angel to keep saving you, next time do your work and get the hell out of here.” He whispered the last part and she shook his head and walked to go take their orders, things were not getting easy for her and as she walked around taking other orders, she saw him, Victor Roberts, the famous billionaire who every girl was always obsessed with and she was not an exception, she had a huge crush on him but knew her lanes, knew there was no way she was even going to be close to him, she brushed the thoughts off her mind and continued doing her work as assigned, many people were coming in and getting out of the restaurant but out for the two tables and she was not even bothered about for as long as they paid when she went over to collect the bills at the earlier table.

“Sir, here is your bill.”

“Okay, I would like something else.” The chubby guy said and she groaned internally.

“Okay sir, anything else I should bring you?” She asked professionally hoping her patience would stay intact because she was not going to take any more bullshit from him.

“Yes, just this.” He said and grabbed her butt and squeezed it and she squirmed.

“What the f**k, why would you do that, what the hell, don’t you have some manners?” She shouted and that got the attention of some other customers around the room and that caught Victor’s too, he was not the type of a person to get into dramas in restaurants or clubs that matter, but there was something he saw in her, it was like he had seen her somewhere else but could not remember where and the thought of what was going on made her blood boil.

“Look at the way that dude is handling her, man I am going to intervene.” He said to Klaus and he tried stopping him but he had already made up his mind, he stood up from where he was seated and walked over to where they were standing, the chubby guy was still grabbing her behind and Victor found himself punching him relay hard in the face that he reeled back and held his nose in pain.

“Man, what the hell?” He asked as the other guys at his table stood there and watched everything because they didn’t want to get involved with Victor.

“Yes, she told you to stop grabbing her; I supposed you out deaf aren’t you?”

“Why are you into this, she is just a b***h like every other b***h around here, look at her.” He said pointing at her and Jasmine wiped the tears that were rolling down her face; she had a long day but could not believe that the famous billionaire could come to her rescue.

“Call her that again and I will not only break your nose but your legs as well now will you and your friends get out of there before I throw you out myself.” He said.

“Do you know who I am?” He asked as he staggered to reach for the serviettes to wipe the blood on his nose.

“Yes and I think you don’t know me too, now will you get the hell out of here maybe you shouldn’t think of coming back because I don’t think that is a good idea, I hope you know who I am and what I am capable of doing.” He said and then turned to check on Jasmine.

“Hey, are you okay?” He asked and she stared into his eyes for a few seconds before he responded.

“Yes, I am good, thank you for you know helping me.” She said and VIctor shrugged his shoulders.

“Oh no problem, I was just trying to help, he was mistreating you and I can’t stand that, come on you can go, change and head home, you have had enough for the night already, I will talk to your boss about what has happened and I know you are worried about your job but don’t worry.” He said and walked away, most of the people had cleared the scene and as she walked into the changing room, she felt disgusted by his hands and felt like she could not get the ugly scene out of her mind, just John stormed to where she was seated and he was angry, she knew there was nothing nice that was going to come out of his mouth, she knew she was in trouble by the look on his face.
