I arrived before our esteemed guest except ofcos for my body guard and the rest of my security detail who by now had been assigned different posts. The driver parks in our reserved space, I stop him from opening the door for me tonight as I am lacking the patience for it. Part of my annoyance was centered on one creature , a mysterious female, who I simply could not bring myself to forget. I could not for the life of me undersrand what it was about Natalia that was intriguing but I intended to find out by the end of the evening.
I head out to the restaurant, as I get in I make sure the entrance is secure with the hidden cameras as I had instructed, I enter the restaurant "not too bad" i say to myself,just then a bold ,stubby little man with a big belly and wearing pants two sizes too big approaches me all smiles. If I didn’t know any better I would presume it was forced but who cares he is not the reason why I’m here.
"Sir we were not expecting you until a little bit later", I look at him and manage a small smile, "Well I needed to come in a little earlier just to see if everything is in the correct order" I place both my hands in my pocket and advance into the space hoping I do not have to greet anyone as yet.
I look around the restaurant as the bold man is following behind me ,I stop and he almost walks into me, I turn around and ask " what is your name ? "
"it is Mr Rover ,sir"
"Well Mr Rover ,impressive work will surely give your restaurant a good review.
"Thank you sir we are honored to have you here please do not hesitate to call on me or any of my staff " .A few guest were already coming in most of whom I had no idea who they were. I had asked my guard to organize a few guest so everything ddnt look too staged. Just then the bold men shouts "Natalia can you come over here please, sir please do order anything you like, the young lady here will take your order ".
'Natalia Alvarez', nothing could have prepared me for what was walking towards me dressed in all black ,I watched her in stages first were her eyes a stormy grey that promised lighting and thunder, her lips so perfect it took all of my will power to not imagine them somewhere else. It was as if she was walking in slow motion, commanding my eyes to look, to stare and be lost in all the splendor that is her body . those black pants clinging to her curves, the two mounds that were peaking from the V of her shirt, seemed to fighting for release.in that moment all I wanted, was to set her free from the clasps of her clothes. The animal in me was fighting to take over, to drag her away with me, to protect her, and attend to all her needs.She was perfect and I was f****d.
Natalia
One last look in the mirror, yep I'm ready to slave away, the shirt turned out to be small and no matter how much I wrestled with the twins the last 3 buttons would just not close, Sarah had already left excited to join the soiree.
Mr Rover would not approve of this country diner look but , he is going to have to take me as I am . after all he is the one who put me in this hot mess in the first place. I walk out of the changing room and head into the restaurant.
Just then Mr Rover calls me over to where he is speaking to a man who I could only assume was one of the guest , and damn did the man not look drop dead gorgeous , with his hands in his pockets, looking like he just walked right out of some magazine of sexiest man alive. I get to where they are standing and I am mesmerized, seeing him from a distance could not have prepared me for the upclose view. Scratch sexiest man alive, this man was a god, he was beutiful, brown beutiful expressive eyes surrounded by a sea of dark lashes , full lips and that jawline, did I mention the lips , his arms I could only imagine being embraced in those and the closer I got the more intoxicated I became, I inhaled a woody , musky scent. I wanted to close the distance between us and just smell him , I even wanted to smell his armpits I bet they smelled just as good.
His lips moved, but I couldn't quite make out what it is that he said. I was feeling all kinds of hot and bothered and very light headed is it me or is this man sucking all the air from the room, selfish much.
Suddenly I'm aware that he is staring at me or am I just seeing things, I feel naked or am I naked, but now Mr Rover is the one staring at me , did I miss something .
Mr Rover sneers,"earth to Natalia", did you not hear what our guest just said? go get him a whiskey neat please"
i look at Mr Rover ,I'm sorry what, I blink one too many times.
"I said can you get our guest here, a whiskey neat please "
ow! yes ofcos sir ,let me get that for you , I walk towards the bar and stop midway I retreat, as I'm about to open mouth the man speaks In a husky and controlled voice
“that will be all Natalia”.
Im about to bow and I catch myself half way through the bow making myself look like a total i***t
i head towards the bar hoping that my body did not betray me. My brain is short circuting and all the voltage is centered downstairs.I get to the bar and give my order to Emily our bar tender for the night.
We are not the best of friends but I hope for tonight and just for this moment she helps me out, by taking my order to our guest as I'm pretty sure that another encounter with this man will be the catalyst to my unfortunate combustion.
Hey Ems, So I was wondering, if you could please take the whiskey to our guest ,the one with Mr Rover. Emily scowls, “is this guest of yours by the bar”
I look at her puzzled “NO”
“ Okay darling here is the thing , I’m the bar 'tender ',which means I attend to those by the bar and your guest is not by the bar which makes him your responsibility ”
"Come on Emily please I have to use the bathroom "I start prancing around to support my lie, She stares at me for what feels like eternity, she rolls her eyes “where is the guest?"
"The one standing with the boss right now" she scans the room and I know her eyes are spot on because her breathe catches, in that moment I knew I didn't have to say anything more.I take a second to watch her as she swings her sinful body towards her target.
I turn away and hurry off as fast and as delicately as my legs can manage. I bump into Sarah in the hallway on my way to the changing room.
“whoa young lady where are you rushing to?" I look up at her and manage a subtle lie, oh! nowhere I just need to use the little ladies room I will be out in a minute.
I heard straight to the changing room and I close the door and lean against it, I walk over to the sink , I wet my hands and lightly pat my neck then my cheeks.
"Act normal ,act normal I repeat it to myself like a mantra , he is just a man who is definitely way out of your league, just stay out of his way and you will be just fine.
I get back to work making sure to stay out of our guest's way, especially one particular tall glass of sin dressed in a charcoal grey suit.
By the time it gets to eight the place is packed with man and woman dressed to the nines ,it felt like a congregation of all the top designers,if money had a scent this would be it.
tonight I had my work cut out for me, my feet were sore ,my hands were starting to go numb from carrying tray after tray ,if there is one thing I have learnt tonight, it's that the rich drink like fish. I do not know why we bother with the small glasses we should just be handing them the bottles .
through out the evening, I had tried to ignore the brown eyed man, but everytime I tried to steal a glance our eyes collided, and he ddnt seem to even be hiding it. Instead I am the one who has to cast my eyes away which was proving to be frustrating on its on.
Emily on the other hand was openly drooling on the man , I'm sure if she could she would have laid down on the floor legs up, wide open and shouting take me now.
I suddenly felt a pang of jealousy just at the thought of her wanting him, Like he only belonged to me , for my eyes only . I don’t know how long I had been standing in the middle of the room, Sarah walks up to me, “Hey you,are you okay she whispers, “yeah I’m fine”
"Well you have been staring at one particular guest all night , he is sooo hot right"
I try to play it cool,”yeah he is alright I mean, he is okay"i stutter , Sarah looks at me.
"Girl please I saw you literally drooling over the guy, you and Emily over there have been speed f*****g the man all over the room” she nudges my side.
"Sarah come on stop it already"
"Well you stop, get back to work young lady" she does her best Mr Rover impersonation
I leave her and walk towards the bar to get a refill of my orders , after getting my refill I turn around and I am frozen in my tracks.
There is sudden silence as a man i had not noticed seated by one of the tables raises his voice while holding a gun.
