Chapter 3 Do you remember last night?
- Chapter 3
- I hit the desk angrily. Why does she keep popping in my head? I don't even know her.
- I picked up my phone and call max
- " Have you booked the restaurant??".
- "Am on it sir... "
- *******************
- Max pov
- I had no idea what's wrong with Damien. He doesn't even like going to restaurants. He has never behaved like this before but it's good . It's the first time I have seen him get stressed over a girl.
- "Hello is this skyline eatery??". I ask the person on the phone
- "Yes , this is Skyline's manager. How may I help you sir?" She said on the other side of the phone
- "I want to book your eatery for 5 hours." I respond
- "That's great sir but we will be closing in 4 hours." The manager responded
- "500 dollars for 6 hours." I smirk. No one can resist money.
- "500 dollars??? Yes sir , you can book us."
- " 200 more if Crystal Santiago will be the one to serve us". I said
- " That's 700 dollars... The manager screamed on the phone
- "Consider it done sir". She said
- "I will be there in 20 minutes ". Without waiting for her response I hung up and text Damien
- It is done.
- Crystal pov
- Why is angel suddenly calling me?? I thought she said I can stay at home?
- "Hello angel".
- "Hey there , my little sunshine. She responded
- This is weird
- "I know I said you can relax at home today but I need you right now at work. Can you please come*. She begged
- She has helped me once and she's talking so sweetly. How can I say no?
- "Fine, I will be there in 5 minutes." I signed and hung up
- *******************
- "Thank goodness, you are here on time". Angel said, hugging me.
- "You know Damien Montenegro right?". She asked.
- "He's coming here today ". She giggled excitedly.
- "But where are the others ?? I looked around.
- " Uhmmmm. Uhmmmm.. forget about others ". She said , scratching her head nervously
- " I want to give you all the tips , so I sent them home. I will give you 200 dollars if you serve him well. She added.
- 200 dollars? I thought. I could buy my mother's medicine and still have some changes left.
- "Fine I will do it". I wore the apron and parked my hair in a ponytail.
- "Crystal, he's here. Go welcome him
- ***************************
- "Hello sir, welcome to skyline eatery. I am crystal". She greeted with a smiley face.
- "What would you like to order, sir?" She said, giving him the menu.
- " Make the choice, princess". He said , not accepting the menu book.
- "I will take whatever you choose". He added.
- Is this man alright? Seriously, who goes to a restaurant and asks the waitress to make the choice? Crystal thought.
- " I'm waiting , princess". He smirks.
- Crystal quickly rushed to the kitchen. She picked the food she dislikes. And she was back in a jiffy.
- "Spicy rice salad, nice choice princess". He winked.
- She just rolled her eyes.
- "Anything else sir??". Crystal asked.
- "Damien, call me damien, princess".
- "A glass of juice. Make the choice too". Damien said.
- She came back with a pineapple juice, placing it on the table.
- "Crystal?". Damien called her name , gently
- Crystal hearts skip a bit. She could deny the fact that she likes the way he called her name.
- "Do you need anything si.....
- "Just call me damien princess pls". He cut her short.
- "Yes damien".
- "Come sit with me". He said
- Crystal looks at him as if he has gone nuts.
- "I am sorry Mr Damien but that is not allowed here".
- Damien bought out his cellphone and placed a call to someone.
- "Miss angel, can you tell crystal to sit with me ?? She said it's not allowed". He put the phone on speaker for crystal to hear.
- "No no sir, it is allowed". Angel said
- "Talk to her she can hear you." Damien said.
- "Crystal, remember 200, huh". Angel said.
- "Fine".
- "Now sit princess". He order.
- Damien almost laugh at her face expression. If she has the chance she will have punch him in the face.
- "Do you remember me?? About last night??" Damien ask, wondering if she remembers or just pretending.
- "Last night?? Have me met before??". Crystal wondered.
- Damien breath a sign of relief.
- "You know you look even prettier without makeup, princess". He winked.
- She just rolled her eyes.
- " Sir , can you eat a little bit faster I have important things to do". She snapped.
- "Things like???. He asked.
- "That is none of your business". She snapped at him again.
- "Like striping for money?? Ain't you a stripper". Damien smirk.
- Crystal felt dumb and embarrassed. She did not think anyone will recognize her. She always put on heavy makeups. Hearing damien called her a stripper.
- Damien could see how ashamed she was feeling and he regret saying that.
- "I didn't become a stripper because I wanted to. Yes you are right, I strip for money but rich people like you won't understand ny suffering. If you were in my position you would…. Never mind sir ". She sucked in a deep breath and smile
- "I have to live now sir". Without waiting for his reply. She ran out of the eatery.
- Damien didn't try to stop her but he went after her few minutes she left.
- After finding out she went home. He left.
- Crystal pov
- I screamed into my pillow.
- "Why!!!!!!!!!!". I screamed.
- " No I can't cry , am not weak , am not weak . Crystal you are not a weak woman. You are strong". I assured my self
- I don't even know him but why does his words affect me so much. I feel like a thousand of needle was pieces in to my heart.
- "DAMIEN!!!!!! Who are you to judge me??? Who are you??? You know nothing about me or my life. Yes I am a stripper". I screamed at the wall.
- Why????
- I am a stripper , yes crystal santiago is a stripper.
- I wiped my tears.
- " I should head to the club , it's almost time for my shift.".
- If I am known as a stripper, then so be it
