The Billionaire's Secret Lover

Chapter Three - Not So Bitchy Miss Lusaka

I went back to my locker and sat down. I had no idea what to do now. Do I take off this uniform because clearly I was fired if she was back here looking all sexy in her not formal clothes.

I heard footsteps and could already see the smirk on Lucas's face coz that guy must have waited for ages to fire me even though he has been with us for 9 months.

So me being myself, I made things easy for him and started taking off my shirt...

Someone cleared their throat behind me and it didn't sound like my manager's voice at all. I turned around and was shocked to see the beautiful devil herself.

She had her arms folded and her beautiful afro was up in a bun. God her skin was so smooth and beautiful.

"Umh .. Sorry. I didn't know you were getting dressed." she said and I sighed, "I'm not getting dressed.. I'm taking them off.. I figured you're here to make sure that I'm out of a job like you threatened yesterday."

She scratched her forehead and cleared her throat, "Umh ... Yeah I am here about that.."

I rolled my eyes and turned back to my locker to put the shirt in. Great.. Now I needed to look for another job.

"Umh Isabella.. Wait.." the way she said my name had me frozen there staring at the stupid locker. Her voice was so soothing yet very demanding.. Like she actually wanted me to wait and stop whatever the f**k I was doing and listen to her.

"I'm sorry about yesterday.. I didn't come here to get you fired.. I came here to umh.. Give you your shirt back and umh... Maybe say sorry.."

I turned back around and looked at her shocked. She was here to apologize?

"You don't believe me do you?"

I wanted to tell her how bitchy she was yesterday and how that was the main reason I didn't believe her.. But I didn't.. Because if I called her a b***h one more time, I swear she was going to get my Italian ass fired for real.. And I couldn't afford that. Not when she was here to 'Apologize '

"Yeah .. Umh.. I don't.."

She smiled. God dammit she smiled and I saw a dimple on one side of her cheek. I breathed in a bit and then out.

"I don't blame you.. I was quite harsh yesterday.. And I apologize.. It wasn't my intention.. I was just worried about that meeting and you kinda came at me with your red wine."

I smiled a little too and bit my lower lip, "Umh .. Yeah.. I was also in a bad mood coz of my manager, so I wasn't fully aware of my surroundings.. But I'm sorry.. And I actually washed your blouse.. Only I left it at home."

Her smile stayed on her face, "Oh .."

"I mean I could keep it for myself just coz of how bad you treated me... But I can't even wear it if I wanted to... It will be so small."

She looked at me from my head to my toes and then laughed, "Umh .. Yeah.. Your shirt was big on me too."

I smiled, "And you looked so cute even if I have to say it.. If it was in your league I'd tell you to keep it, but since I'm not getting fired.. I'm going to keep it."

She laughed and unfolded her hands revealing the shirt I didn't even see.

"What do you mean if it was in my league? What's on my league?"

She seemed to be offended. I smiled, "I mean that you can afford it for someone like me.. Not like you. Your blouse alone probably cost the rent of my apartment."

She laughed, "Wooow you really just talk don't you? Without even thinking.." her accent was so strong.

"Are you South African?" I blurted out.

She seemed taken back, "Umh ... Yeah.. My mother is Somalian and my father is Black South African... Are you South African?"

I laughed at her returning the question back to me, "Umh ... Yes actually coz I was born here..but I'm also Half Italian and half Spanish coz of my parents.."

"Oh that is interesting.."

"Now that I know you won't get me fired, I just want to say you are very beautiful... And you also have the best accent ever. I could listen to you talk all day long.."

She kept quiet and I sighed, "I wasn't saying don't talk..."

She laughed, "I don't know what to say... Did you really think I was here to get you fired?"

I shrugged, "Yesterday you demanded another waiter or waitress and told me if I don't bring it you'll either talk to my manager or I'd lose my job.. So forgive me for assuming you were here to do the latter."

"Ma'am ... You have breakfast with your parents. We have to go." one of her watch dogs appeared out of nowhere.

I looked at him up and down, "Great timing mate... We were just having fun here.."

The guy arched his brows at me like I said something stupid, "Having fun?" then he turned to his ma'am', "you were having fun ma'am?"

I laughed at them to get their attention and after they both looked at me, I cleared my throat and tried to talk the way she talks, "Please don't tell me she doesn't know what fun is..?"

She laughed.. Genuinely laughed it made me look at her longer and think about my friends and what they said. If I honestly was in her league and she wasn't some stupid celebrity who needed body guards, I was going to actually show her some fun...and maybe sleep with her.. But I didn't have a chance.

"Do I sound like that...? Paul?"

Paul laughed and looked away from her to me then winked, "Umh Ma'am not at all. You don't sound like that."

So he wasn't a bad watch dog after all, I smiled at him, "He is lying to keep his job.."

The beautiful lady gasped, "Oh my God Paul.. Are you lying? Tell the truth or you'll be out of a Job.. For real."

"Jesus... are you actually like this to everyone...? That they are scared you'll take away their jobs.." I asked and she looked at me. I winked, "I didn't get your name by the way.

"Zahara.. I'm Zahara.."

"That is a beautiful name for a beautiful lady.. Okay, I would absolutely love to stand here all day and listen to whatever you want to say because your voice is to die for.. But I also have bills to pay and I don't want to find myself homeless.. So... Thank you for coming back to wipe your Bitchy first impression on me. You are the sweetest Zahara.." I took the shirt that she was holding and put it on me since I was not wearing one.

I tugged it on my waist and then put both my hands on her shoulders. She looked confused or shocked that I even touched her. I quickly removed them when I noticed that, "Sorry for... Umh... Yeah let me go before you actually really get me fired.. So enjoy breakfast with the parents Zahara.." and I left them there seeming shocked.

..

"Okay ... Now that she has joined us.. Please work well and no one should spill any red wine on a customer today.. Thank you." Lucas said making me to roll my eyes internally. I missed my old manager because she wasn't an ass like Lucas was to me.. I mean forget the fact that I was sleeping with her.. She was a good person in general and wasn't out to get my blood like this i***t was.

"Don't you miss your ex girlfriend when it's like this.. I miss her she was a better boss than Lucas.." Rosie said passing next to me and I just sighed and continued to serve my tables.

The day dragged and I hated how my mind was constantly thinking about Zahara and how beautiful she was and how amazing her voice was. It made me feel things I haven't felt in a while and I hated that because firstly she was a b***h to me and secondly she probably forgot that I even exist right now. So I was wasting my time thinking about her.

I finished my shift and headed home around 5, Thank God there wasn't much traffic today. I got home and took a 5 minutes shower then checked my mom. She smiled at me, "How was work."

"Great mommy.. I thought I was going to get fired."

Her eyes shot wide open making me laugh. She coughed, "What did you do?"

"I spilled wine on this beautiful lady.. Umh.. Her name is Zahara but Lucas calls her Miss Lusaka.. She must be some celebrity of sort. So yeah she told me she wanted someone who wasn't me to take over my table or I'll lose my job.. Such a bitch.."

My mom winced at that as if I made her feel pain. I laughed," Sorry mom I'll mind my languge. But yeah she umh came back this morning and I thought I was dead. But turns out she was there to apologize for what happened and what she said."

"Zahara is the sweetest.."

I furrowed my brows at her, "You know her? Was she an extra on these shows you watch here all day?"

She laughed, "No She is the daughter of Amanda and Amari Lusaka.."

I furrowed my brows at her confused, "Am I supposed to know those names. Coz they still mean nothing to me.."

My mother sighed, "What will I do with you?"

I went to bed and kissed her, "You would be dead without me mom.. Literally.. Now, let me go make money and we will get you that treatment."

She smiled, "Soon you won't have to work this hard.."

I took my bag and turned to look at her, "Yes mom.. I won't and you'll be okay after the treatment. I love you okay.."

"I love you more honey.."

I got out, greeted miss Sandy and told her my mom would love to see her then headed to work.

The same thing happened when I was there. I was dead distracted and couldn't stop thinking about the beautiful lady. When I was done and packing the girls joined me.

"Did your cat die?"

"I don't have a cat.." I said without even thinking and they looked at each other then looked at me concerned.

"Are you okay? Is mom okay?"

I furrowed my brows at them, "Yeah mom is okay.. What's wrong?"

"We know you don't have a cat.. We were just being... Us.."

I sighed, "Oh .. Fuck... I can't stop thinking about her.. I mean she also showed up at work today but she was a little less Bitchy today. She was nice actually and she laughed.. Why is she so perfect.."

"Did you get her name at least so that we can know what celebrity we are dealing with?"

I laughed at Marci but said, " Umh yeah.. She said she's Zahara... And Lucas said Lu... Wait.."

"Zahara Lusaka?" they said simalteniously. I looked at them both, "Yeah ... Zahara Lusaka.."

"Oh hell no.. No... No..." Marci said making me laugh, "What ? Is she a can't reach area?"

"She's actually a no go area.. What the f**k dude. Do you know who she is?" Neha said.

"Umh ... No.. Am I supposed to know her?"

Marci took out her phone and showed me a screen with Zahara's pictures. I smiled.. She was so beautiful.

"She is the president of the 2nd leading political party in the country.. A definitely don't even look at me person.. Because her family preaches No to gays and lesbians.. Last time I checked you're lesbian.. So stay away from her.."

Fuck..
