FAKE LOVE

Tessa's point of view “Hey Tess, thankfully you are back dear, it’s going to be a busy night for us.” As I entered, Lucy came running to me and I hurriedly kept my bag and went to help her. Table no. 7 was given to me by the manager, I went there to take care of their table. “Hello sir and mam this is Tessa, may I know what you want to have for drinks.” I started off in a formal tone and one of them placed the order, he was having a filthy smile on his face, instead of looking at my face and placing his order he was continuously darting his eyes on my cleavage, I tried my best to keep up with my fake smile, I felt like hitting that bastard right between his legs but for sure I can’t, as doing that means being thrown out of this place. I am working here as a part time waitress to earn my livelihood and maybe someday I'll be able to earn enough money to hire a lawyer for my brother. “Anything else sir?” I asked trying to hide the discomfort and anger in my tone. “For now, this much is enough.” He said giving me a smirk and a last dirty look to my body. I turned on my heels to bring the drinks. I was on my way to the bar but I don’t know how I bumped into my manager, “Hey you Theresa can’t you see and be quick where is your mind?” It was of course his fault but I immediately apologized. “Sorry sir and it’s Tessa.” “It’s all the same, Get out and serve them and then clean table 4.” I gave him a look that is he serious as that wasn’t my job to clean the tables where is Cassie? “But sir…………” “Don’t waste my time and do what you are asked to.” I have been loyal to my work but why the f**k he treats me like that, I want to stuff this assholes mouth with garbage. I walked to the bar and Sam gave me an apologetic smile as he knew that how I’m treated here even after the hard work, “Hey all okay?” “Hmm, till not it is hope so, it doesn’t goes worser than this.” I said handing him the list of drinks. “Just chill and ignore his ranting and everything will be okay.” The only good people here are Sam and Lucy who are the one to boost my morale. “Here you go Tess.” “Thank you.” I said and carried the drinks of table no. 7, God I have to face that i***t again but the thing is it wasn’t only him but the other men they were looking at me in the same way too, you can do it Tess, this isn't a big deal for you. “Here’s you order table no.7” I said and bent to serve them and if I’m not wrong part of my cleavage was at show. “Woah! Nice huh? “ One of them commented he was at his late thirties but still had no shame, f**k him, I said under my breathe. I ignored him. “Sir what you will like to order in starters?” He was speaking and looking at the hook of my white blouse as if he wants to see what’s right behind it, it’s becoming so bad already and I have to take care of this table for God knows how long. I left their table and placed their order and went to clean table no.4” “Hey you what are you doing here? Go and welcome our guests.” I gave my manager a last look like what am I, how can he consider me like a machine. “Don’t give me that look if you want your pay on time.” Why he has to bring my pay every time, I nodded my head and went to welcome the guests. I checked my clothes and they were perfect and walked towards the entrance, I just hope them to not be one of those filthy rich bastards as I am in no mood to entertain someone like them. I heard the ding of the door, but then I noticed that my hook; it was loose, s**t was this the reason why that bastard was continuously looking at me with those hungry eyes. What should I do? If it gets broken then, umm I need to go back and change this as soon as possible, my head was a mess, I didn’t even know that to which direction I was walking and the next moment I know I bumped into someone. His masculine scent hit my nostrils, my hand hit his chest and I was able to feel the smooth throbbing of that person's heartbeat, his smell was erotic and rich, he was 6’2 and I was 5’7 so I wasn’t able to see his face but he had broad shoulder, the white shirt was hugging his well chiseled torso, his sleeves were pulled up revealing his vieny hands he had a tattoo on his left arm but it was half hidden because of his shirt, it was dragon or some reptile, the curious Tessa inside me wanted to see that. “Tessa.” A sound came from behind and I backed immediately realizing what I did right now? I bumped into the guest I was supposed to greet, I looked up to apologize and my grey eyes met his blue. His eyes were deep blue and calm it looked like you are seeing a deep blue sea from distance. His eyes were so deep that anyone would like to go deep in it and know what those two beautiful eyes are holding, “I’m sorry, I was………” I wanted to say something but words lost its track when I heard his voice. “It’s okay, you should go and change.” He said and I blinked my eyes, his voice was calm and husky, did he see that I was worried about my blouse’s hook, I don’t know where my voice was as I was unable to find it, he was someone so beautiful that you can't look anywhere else but waitress Tessa stop doing it, you don’t have any right to look at someone like him, he was well dressed and looked handsome in a black pant and white shirt with his well combed hair. I simply nodded my head and turned to leave, I have to change my clothes as soon I can. I was still unable to believe that what was wrong with me that I was looking at him like that, but for some reason maybe it was his eyes or aura that was making it difficult for me to look somewhere else. Girl, stop thinking about him, you have errands to run. Thankfully I got the spare blouse, I wore it without wasting much of my time, I looked at my reflection and my cheeks were rosy God what I am thinking or doing? “Where the hell is that girl?’ I heard my manager calling for me and I know he must be mad not seeing me in the restaurant. I walked outside, to find him standing right in front of me, “Serve table no.7 with food and take care of table no.4 too, we have shortage of staff and even you are lacking.” “But I………” “Stop wasting time here and get back to work.” “Hmm.” I went back to table 7 served them and this time, made it quick so that I don’t have to see those bastards, God I am getting sick of this table. I was able to feel pair of blue eyes on me when I was running errands why he is looking at me like that, I know it isn’t lust but then why? I was walking to his table to take his order and it was getting awkward as that handsome rich guy was continuously looking at me as if he didn’t care that I know he is looking at me. How can he stare without even blinking? “Sir this is Tessa, may I know anyone is joining you or not?’ I asked him and he gave me a deep look, what he is doing, it’s becoming difficult for me to keep up with my formal look. His features were sharp like he had a sharp jawline with thick brows giving him a manly appearance. He must be having hell number of girls throwing themselves on him. “Ummm, what did you say?” God how can he not hear what I said? “Sir, is anyone joining you?” How can he not hear what I said what he is thinking? Do I look like his long lost sister or his ex-girlfriend who betrayed him but if I would have been his ex then he would have been looking at me with hatred in his eyes. Put a full stop to your thoughts young lady. “Hey pretty lady, I am with him, I’ll order.” I turned to find who was that guy and it was his friend or brother I guess both of them looked like of my age. He was wearing a plain navy blue shirt with pants, with black eyes and hair, he looked handsome but not more than the blue eyes. “I’ll order a bottle of Lagavulin, bring two okay? My brother needs more.” I simply nodded my head giving a look to the guy with blue eyes. Wait I need to check their id’s what if they are underage. “I want your id’s before serving you two with alcohol.” “Don’t you know who am I?“ The blue eyes said with disappointment. “Umm, is it something I’m supposed to know?” I said biting my lower lips. “God, I’m already liking her.” The guy next to him chuckled and said with an amusing smile. “Sorry?” Then I realized that he got it on his ego that I don’t know who is he? Well, I don’t have time to read those magazines featuring the big wigs if he is one of them. “Here is my id.” The second one said and I looked at the blue eyes for his but he looked reluctant. "Hey you are Samuel, the owner of Poshville? I always wanted to buy a house there. I don't know why out of the sudden I got excited and blurted out my dream to buy a house in that society. They must be thinking what kind of stupid I am to think of buying a house there with the meagre salary I make here. "Sure, I would love to sell to a beautiful lady like you. " But to my surprise they didn't mock at me. I returned his I'd giving him a stupid grin as he called me beautiful like I'm not used to getting words like this. In the whole convo with Samuel those pair of blue eyes were not leaving my face. What he is doing? “Brother give her your id.” He gave a boring expression and fished for his id in his wallet and handed me his id. I took it and read, “Daniel Calloway?” No way he is son of the Calloway’s, my eyes were going to pop out so, this is why he was like you don’t know me? He had a satisfied smile seeing my oh my god reaction. “I will get your drinks.” I said handing him his card then I noticed that he was a new year kid. “Your birthday is on New year?” “I guess it is.” He said keeping a calm and reluctant tone. “You are lucky to receive two gifts on a single day one for your birthday and other for your new year.” “I don’t like gifts.” Why he has to sound so boring. “Oh!” I said trying to act normal. By the way why am I being so interactive? “Beautiful ignore his boring comments and bring our drinks.” “She has a name, Tessa.” He said to Samuel and I gave him a look that why was he acting like that, it sounded like jealousy but why would he be jealous?
