Chapter 5 Five

SCARLETT

I got to the restaurant earlier this morning, and I was hired on the spot. No too much interviews, and they were just in need of one more worker. I was lucky.

I got to work immediately, with their manager putting me through and teaching me how to take orders. I took the next two orders and I was good at it, there was no much stress. I took orders for the next few hours, and soon it was 2pm, lunch break!!! I took my break, and soon resumed work again.

I noticed three men walk in. Three men I never expected to see in our restaurant. Alexander Cohen, Rider Jaxon and the infamous Damien Blackwell. These 3 men must have been created on the day God decided to rest, because their looks are so unfair to other men. I picked up my notepad and walked towards their tables.

My ears are almost going deaf because of the whispers about these men. I finally got to their table and Alexander gave me a smile. Rider gave me a blank look, and Damien was just typing away on his phone without a care in the world.

"Hi and welcome to Yummy tastes. My name is Scarlett and I'll be taking your orders." I recited the normal phrase with the most professional smile I could offer.

Damien stopped scrolling at the sound of my voice. Do I sound that bad? I must sound like a frog. I tapped my pen on my notepad, nervousness almost breaking my bones. All I wanted was to take their orders and flee from there.

Damien raised his head and stared directly into my eyes. Oh God! Is it hot in here or what? His eyes widened for a flicker of seconds, or I might've just imagined it, but he stared at me with such intensity and I was almost melting at the intensity of his gaze. But there was something about his eyes.

His green eyes felt familiar, like I've seen them before, but I just shrugged it off. There was no way in this world I and Damien Blackwell has ever crossed path.

" I'll have just Macaroni and cheese, with a glass of orange juice please" Alexander said with his signature smile.

"Chicken fried steaks" Rider stated "with just a bottle of chilled water" he completed

" I'll have soup and chicken salad" Damien finally replied tearing his eyes off me

" Would you like anything to drink with it?" I asked Damien, still writing in my note.

"Yeah. I'll have a glass of your most expensive wine please"

"Okay. It'll be here in a few minutes"

I slowly turned and left to get their orders. I could still feel his stares behind my back.

" You're staring at this one much Damien" I heard Alexander's voice say. So I wasn't the only one who noticed it, I thought I was hallucinating or something. I couldn't hear any reply from Damien as i went into the kitchen to get their orders.

"Please enjoy your meal" I said as I placed their food before them, arranging their cutleries neatly and their drinks beside their food. I turned and went back to work.

After a while they were done with their food and they paid and left but Damien still threw me another glance as they all walked out of the restaurant.

I shook the feeling off my shoulder and just went back to work and soon enough it was night time. I closed for the day and I was soon on my way back home. I got home and I met Jasmine at home. After I went into my room to freshen up and put on comfortable clothes, I joined Jasmine in the living room

"How was work at the restaurant today?" Jasmine asked, keeping her phone aside, giving me her full concentration.

"It was okay.....just nice. Everything went smoothly" I replied her, laying down on the couch.

" Just that? "

"Yeah jasmine. The workers there are nice, no troubles. And oh, you would not believe what happened at the restaurant today" I said as I bolted up, sitting down.

"Now that's what I like to hear. What happened?" She asked with interest

" Guess who came to eat there"

"Uhhhh your ex boyfriend"

"Really jasmine?" I asked her. Of all the people she could think of, it's my ex boyfriend? I should've known this girl has no thinking faculty.

"What?? You asked me to guess and I did" she said spreading her hands and shrugging her shoulders

" Of course not you dummy"

"Then who?"

"Damien Blackwell and his 2 friends" I finally dropped the gist, laying back down.

"Woah woah woah ..... Holl up. You tryna tell me Sexy dripping god Damien Blackwell came to eat at your restaurant today? With his friends Alexander and Rider?" She asked with an almost high pitched voice. One would think she was a 16 year old fan girl with the way she's reacting to this.

"And i was the one that took their orders"

"No way!!"

"Yes way!. God you need to see the way Damien was looking at me. I was almost a melting ice cream"

"Look at you?? I think you're imagining things Scar"

"I don't think I was. Even Alexander noticed it"

"Hmmm .... He would look at anybody who's got a body and a face like yours" she said smiling at me

" I guess you're right though. Not like I'll ever date him anyways"

" So you mean to say if Damien walks up to you and asks you to be his girlfriend, you'd refuse?"

" Well... For someone that popular, I'm very sure he changes women like his ties. Moreover if I'll date anybody it'll be for love. I only admire him. He's got good looks"

" Hmm hmm... Preacher Scarlett"

"Im hungry" I said swaying off that topic and clutching my stomach. I haven't eaten anything since 2pm today.

"There's food in the microwave wave. I kept it for you"

" Muahhh!! You're the best Jas" I blew her a kiss, as I dashed into the kitchen. I pulled out the food from the microwave and it was a steaming plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I smiled to myself as I dug into the food, eating happily.

After a while I was done. I washed the dishes in the sink and bid Jasmine goodnight as I strolled to my room. I laid comfortably in my bed, pulling the cover over me as I smiled at the thought of sleep.

Just when I was finally dozing off, my phone started to vibrate. I frowned because of my interrupted sleep. I reluctantly picked up my phone, but as soon as I saw the caller ID, sleep vanished from my eyes.
