Not Your Typical Billionaire

A Hot Date

So I have been working here for about 3 years now, I know everyone pretty well especially when I throw a cook out for all of the staff while the Wilson’s are gone on vacation. Even Jacob, the butler who was rude to me on day one, comes over for a snack or 2 when he has time. I smiled finishing up Madison and Samuel’s 8th birthday cake, I know they wanted separate cakes but I decided to do a small one just for the family and I’ll finish the 2 4-tier birthday cakes for their party. I know that with them now being their own person they don’t want to share their birthday cakes anymore. I don’t mind making 3 cakes like this but it does take me a lot longer when they want it to be each layer to be a different flavor and fillings that don’t go with a certain flavor. It requires weeks of taste testing and long nights of trying new things.

I smiled as I wrote both of their names on the small 2 tier cake for the family. The top layer of the cake, spiced cake with a caramel buttercream, is for Samuel and the bottom, white peach cake with spiced buttercream, is for Madison. They don’t even realize just how much a like they are. I transferred the cake onto a platter, I will surprise them with this cake for lunch, and their actual birthday cakes still need some work before tonight. I sighed looking up at the time it’s almost time for lunch. I turned to the oven pulling out the chicken parmesan and Madison’s eggplant parmesan. I quickly plated the food before wiping down the plates; I slipped the plates into the window for the maids to serve the family.

I placed Madison’s dish out front so they know that this one is Madison’s, Greg grabbed Madison’s plate running out to the dining room. I asked Daniel to take down the doors and replaced them with a sound proof kitchen window. I don’t think the maids would accidentally bump each other with the food. I just want to be careful and for other reasons too, I turned to the cake once all of the food was taken out for lunch. I quickly put the cake in the window for Alice to take out the cake once everyone is done eating. She wanted the twins to have a small little family get together. She is such an amazing mother, her kids are lucky to have her; I wish my mother was like that.

I’m glad the twins wanted a pizza party with 4 different pizzas, chicken bits, mozzarella sticks and pop. That’ll be easy for me and easy while I go over the top for their cakes; I think Alice made them pick a pizza party when she peeked at the cake designs and flavors. Samuel loves pizza so I feel that he might have also had a part in this being simple party. The pizzas are ready and just need to go in the oven; I made the pizzas about 2 am this morning. I am excited for the flavors I get to try, nothing too exotic or fancy.

As I finished piping lime green the boarder on cake for Madison a door to the kitchen opened up. I looked up to notice Jacob holding another bouquet of chocolate cosmos; he looked at me confused placing them in vase that now stays by the window. I guess I have a secret admirer, every day for the pass year to year and a half I have been receiving flowers. I don’t have the slightest idea who they could be from. Jacob looked at the Samuel’s cake as he walked up to me while I put Madison’s cake into the fridge.

“Any idea as to who could be sending you these?” Jacob asked leaning up against the counter, I turned to face him shaking my head.

“Whoever it is they’re very rich. Those flowers are almost extinct, not to mention they’re very expensive to get your hands on.” I said

“Well whoever he is, he would be better just kissing you straight up rather than killing such a beautiful flower.” Jacob said I rolled my eyes as I started to pip the buttercream into a pattern on the cake.

“I agree with that minus the kissing me part, just tell me, I don’t bite.” I said causing him to chuckle.

“You are so pure; it’s painful for everyone around you.” He said as I put down the piping bag and pick up my icing spatula. I started to smooth out the buttercream creating a camo look on the cake; I picked the piping bag back up before adding more buttercream on to the cake. 

“How is it painful for everyone but me?” I asked

“Because you my dear lady are no fun when we have the parties,” he said

“You sleep with enough men for both if us.” I said causing him to toss up his hand in defeat. “Besides my coven is nothing but pure good magic.” I added he rolled his eyes turning back to the flowers.

“All I know is that whoever is sending you these flowers you better fuc”—    

“Dre, come enjoy the cake with us.” Alice said leaning into the window away from the cake. I turned to her with a piping bag in my hand. Jacob fixed his suit before bowing leaving the kitchen. I swear in front of the Wilson’s Jacob is a stick in the mud but when they’re not around he is like a horny teenage boy.

“I would love to but I have to finish the cakes and start getting ready for the party.” I said

“That’s wasn’t a request. Come on you’re working so hard this year.” She said I sighed putting down my piping bag. I took off my apron wiping my hands on the apron before turning back to Alice; she smiled before straightening out my peacock print halter top. “What were you two talking about? Your secret admirer? Did he send you more flowers?” she asked looking behind me, she squealed noticing the flower behind me.

“I swear I would have them stop if I knew who they were.” I said as she pulled my skirt down a little bit as it rose up when I climbed onto the stool to put the top layer on the cake.

“Don’t stress about it, you deserve love too.” She said turning back to me, “Besides we all would like for you to be happy, that rule of ‘your life not meddling with our’ is just because of Jacob.” She said

“Jacob, why him?” I asked as she grabbed the cake.

“Because he slept with Daniel’s business partner one day and when he broke it off with the guy Daniel almost lost the deal.” She said I gasp causing her to giggle softly. “Danny was so mad he made that a rule mostly for Jacob but he didn’t want it to be too obvious.” She added, well that makes total sense now; it’s only a handful of the staff that are actually single. Not to mention Jacob is forever throwing a party when the Wilson’s are out of town. She grabbed my hand pulling me out of the kitchen; we walked over to the dining room table as she started singing happy birthday to the twins. I joined in on the singing as everyone else looked at us in shock; this is actually the first time Alice has done something like this. I think she feels that the twins are growing up too fast. She has to realize just how grown up mentally they are, my first day working they came into the kitchen and asked me a whole lot of personal questions. It’s a little weird just how much they fake their innocent around their parents.

“I had Dre make a small cake for all of us to eat.” Alice said sitting the cake in front of the twins.

“That’s so sweet of you Al,” Daniel said

“Dre did most of the work; I know she has a lot on her plate with the party tonight. But I want to do something small just for the family.” She said

“What about tonight?” Madison asked turning to look at us.

“Oh dear I forgot to tell you after the party Daniel and I will be taking the twins and Michael to a show in town. We won’t be home tomorrow morning, we maybe home for lunch but no promises.” Alice said

“Oh well, okay why is Parker not going to?” I asked not that I’m hoping to not feed anyone tomorrow morning but Parker like to get high with his friends and harass me in the kitchen.

“Fortunately for me my chocolate buttercup I’m am adult. They can’t make me go if it’s not important for the family image. So you have to feed me and only me in the morning. Maybe we should make it a date.” Parker said

“No as part of Parker’s punishment, for not reporting to his internship all of last week, he has the clean up the party aftermath alone. No help from the maids or the groundskeepers or you or Jacob; and since I wasn’t born yesterday I know his friends will be over too. So Dre leave the keep as is too. They’ll clean that too.” Daniel said as Alice cut the cake.

“As lovely as that would sound, I refuse to leave my kitchen to the hands of a spoiled man-child.” I said causing Daniel the chuckle lightly. Its true I rather clean my own kitchen then leave it for them to clean. I know they’ll destroy it and I can’t let that happen to that beautiful kitchen. I know but I personally detail the kitchen every 3 months and clean it every night before going to bed.

“Fine, you can tell them how to clean it and they can’t talk back or don’t listen, they’ll have to deal with me.” Alice said waving the knife around as if she was talking with her hand. I looked over at Daniel as he nods his head agreeing with his wife. I’ve never seen Alice angry before but then again only Daniel has and he’s terrified when ever she gets close.

“I don’t think that’s a smart idea mom, it sure would suck for our private chef to go missing.” Parker said did he just threaten—

“Did you just threaten her?” Michael asked standing up from his chair. One good thing about Michael, he comes across as a hard ass but he’s actually really sweet and helpful. I know its killing him not to help me out tonight with his brother.

“Yes I did, if she so much as tells me what time it is I’ll snap her neck in half.” Parker said glaring at Michael. I looked over to Daniel and he nodded his head, I smirked turning back to Parker who was now looking at me.

“Parker you’ll never be able to lay a hand on me.” I said as the energy shot through my system Parker jumped out of his chair and over the table reaching out to grab my neck. I raised my left hand causing him to stop mid air almost frozen in time. Alice grabbed both Samuel and Madison pulling them away from me. Parker’s eyes widen in fear before I flicked my to the right sending him flying over his father’s head, as he ducked out of the way, and into the wall. Not enough to dent it, just to knock the wind out of him. I held him there slowly closing my hand as if I was choking him, causing him to gasp for air. He clawed at his throat gasping and kicking his feet, I smiled at Alice as she handed me a plate of cake.

“Something you fail to realize Parker, I’m a lot stronger then what I let on. I had to teach your father a lesson one night. And I didn’t put nearly enough attention into it, the only reason I care now is because I don’t want to dent the wall." I said getting a loud choking noise coming from him as his eyes started to roll into the back of his head. I dropped my hand releasing the energy allowing him to drop to the ground. Oh no, I let him blackout, I turned to Alice who was sitting in her seat eating the cake.

“Don’t forget we won’t be here in the morning. If you want you can sleep in tomorrow, also can we have sushi for dinner tomorrow?” Daniel asked standing up from the table. I bowed my head before walking back into the kitchen. I placed the cake on the counter as I grabbed a water bottle out of the cooler. It’s time to finish these cakes and start getting ready for dinner the party starts in 4 hours and I have to feed 3000 children and their parents. I quickly finished Samuel’s cake with 2 hours to spare before running it to cooler next to his sister’s cake. I preheated my ovens and fryers; maybe I should make a salad for those who don’t want anything else I made.

Once the ovens are ready I slip in the first 2 around of pizza. I waited a little longer for the fryers before dropping 5 pounds of bits in one of the fryers. As those things cooked I quickly whipped together a huge garden salad. I pulled out the pizzas cutting them before sliding them on the platters putting them in my hot window for the hired servers to take out. I dropped the mozzarella sticks pulling out the chicken bits; I put the bits in the window before putting the dipping sauces next to the baskets. I turned pulling the mozzarella sticks out of the fryer; I slip those in the window with those sauces. I sighed pulling the cakes out of the cooler and putting them on my large metal table cart thing.

 I never know what to call this but it helps me transport things from the kitchen to anywhere in the house. I made sure everything was in the windows minus the cakes of course, before rolling the cakes out of the kitchen. I walked the cakes to the backyard before pulling Madison’s cake off the cart first walking to the cake table trying to avoid all the children running around. I slipped her cake onto the cake stand I turned it so you could read ‘Happy Birthday Madison’. I went back to grab Samuel’s cake when I noticed a man in a black suit staring at the cake kind of close. I walked up to him and smile softly hoping he would noticed me, he turned and looked at me smiling at me. He must like what I’ve done with the cakes, I mean didn’t think anyone would notice right away.

“Hello, would you like a picture with the cake?” I asked his malachite eyes widen as I pick the cake up to take it to the table.

“Here let me help.” He said reaching out to help; I shook my head walking it over to the cake table. I placed it on the last cake stand rotating it so it showed ‘Happy Birthday Samuel’; I took a step back looking at the two completely opposite cakes. “They are beautiful.” The man said walking up behind me; I turned him holding out my hand.

“Thank you, I’m the chef who prepared everything today.” He shook my hand looking confused.

“I was told that chef Dre prepared everything this evening.” He said I giggled nodding my head

“Chef Aundreya, chef Dre for short.” I said he smiled bringing my hand up to his lips. He placed a kiss on the back of my hand.

“Well since we’re using titles, I’m the world’s most eligible vampire bachelor Ezra Valentine.” He said puffing his chest out slightly. I chuckled pulling my hand away from him; I rolled my eyes pulling my phone out to take a picture of the cakes. “So are you free after this party?” He asked

“No, I have hot date after this with someone I rather be spending my time with.” I said before walking away from him. I’m 100% sure this is his first rejection; I need to start cleaning my kitchen so I can get to my bubble bath.

After a long night of finishing the food and cleaning, I’m finally in my white peach jasmine bubble bath. I sighed taking a sip of my sparkling rosé before slipping deeper into my bath. Maybe I’ll get up and go to the market tomorrow for the sushi ingredients and of course more to stock up my coolers. The screen to left flickered causing me to turn my attention to Parker and his friends re-cleaning my kitchen. Of course I cleaned it already but they still have to wipe down my counters and hot windows. I chuckled taking another sip of my rosé I flicked my wrist placing my tablet on the counter.

“Come one princess we're going to party tonight.” Jacob’s voice echo through my bathroom; I looked up to see him out of his suit and tie and in jean shorts and a blue polo shirt. “Why are you in the bath?” He asked walking up to me.

“Because unlike you I worked my ass off today.” I said

“Trust me princess you didn’t it’s still plenty there.” He said sitting at the edge of my tub. “Come on I got invited to a party and I want you to be my plus one.” He added

“I just got in and I don’t plan on leaving until I’m completely relaxed.” I said sticking my tongue out at him.

“Careful princess you know what I can do with that tongue of yours.” He said leaning closer to my face. Oh goddess, when we first met outside of work, he literally stuck his tongue down my throat thinking I was hitting on him. Now after I almost neutered him it clicked in my head that he was wasted and didn’t know what he was doing. Plus he does it to every new employee here, he drinks himself stupid and he welcomes them with a big sloppy kiss.

“Next time I promise, I’m just too tense to party right now and you know how sensitive my magic is when I’m tense.” I said he nods his head in agreement before standing up.

“Alright I got your word and its recorded next party we are getting hammered.” He yelled before leaving my bathroom I shook my head leaning back into my bath. He’ll learn eventually to stop trying to record me; I never allow those devices near me for a reason.
