Chapter 2 Second Encounter

• When I went home I changed my clothes and went to work. La Cafe is just a walking distance from my small apartment. Simon is my boss and he is such a kind man.
• "Hi there Lily!" I smiled at the middle aged woman. Lily is Simon's wife.
• "Hello to you Athea!"
• I smiled and passed Lily. I proceeded to the counter. There I saw Mia waiting for me. Since we don't have many customers tonight we chit chat for a while. The door opens, signaling that we have a new customer. But before I could take a look at who it was Simon called me in his office.
• Mia called Stella to help her entertain the new customer.
• "Rose told me that you will attend the party tonight? Is it true?"
• "Yes, Simon but if we're busy I understand. Party is not my type anyway.."
• Simon laughed at my answer.. "No..no..I want you to go. Mia, Stella and Lily can handle it. You need a break Athea..it's just that I never heard you once getting to a party.."
• I rolled my eyes "Oh..I don't like parties. I prefer to work than to be with horny and gross teenagers!"
• Simon shook his head and plastered a smile on his face "Just don't drink too much! And I don't want to be a grandfather soon.."He didn't give me the chance to answer back because he immediately dismissed me.
• I can't help but smile. Simon is like a father to me. I went back to the counter. I looked at Mia. She looks pale and like she's gonna have faith anytime soon.
• "Hey Mia are you okay?"
• She stared at me.. "Y-yes..can you give this to table number nine, this is their additional order."
• I get curious why Mia stammered and looked frightened..she looks like she saw a ghost.
• I just stared at her for a moment. “Okay. Just sit there and relax.."
• I picked the tray full of food and walked to table number nine. There I saw five men wearing a business suit. I cannot totally see their faces but they're posture and auras is telling me they are some kind of a bad boy model. It looks like they're discussing serious matters. I plastered my biggest smile before approaching them.
• When I was nearly at their table I didn't see a little boy running fast and coming in my direction. It was too late, he bumped into me and Oh God! The tray that I'm holding a while ago was lying on the floor but guess what only the tray was on the floor. The food was spread across to their table and some food was on their suit.
• I hurriedly get up and look for my handkerchief. The man sitting nearest to me has a lot of pasta on his suit and on his lap, I am sure as hell it’s expensive.
• "I-i am sorry. It was my fault..I didn't see the boy coming my way..I know I should be extra careful next time.." I kept on bubbling and I picked the pasta that was still on his lap. After that I wiped the sauce using my handkerchief. I keep on saying sorry, not bothering to look at the man's face.
• The table went silent..then I heard one of them faked a cough. His cough brought me to present...I froze...my hand hung in the air..I realized what I am doing and what my current position is right now. I'm kneeling between the man's legs and I was wiping the sauce and some small pasta on his....shit!
• I slowly pulled my hand and I am sure as hell my face is tinted with the color red. On this day Athea how many embarrassing things you'll make. I scolded myself. I want to apologize again...I slowly looked up and was ready to stare at the man's face..
• Shocked is understatement. The man in front of me is the epitome of Adam's son! His features is so perfect and that cold eyes that sent shiver to my body..those pinky lips..I want to fucking taste it right now. I feel like I'm a horny teenager..But it disappeared immediately when I saw the smirk on his handsome face. Oh my goodness what am I doing. I am fucking oggling him infront of these people.
• "What happened here?" Lily asked me. I looked at her but I saw the glint smile on her lips.
• I abruptly get up "It was my fault I'm sorry Lily. I didn't saw the little boy running..I should be extra careful. Please let me pay for the food.."
• I turned my attention to the sexy slash handsome slash hot man " I-i am really sorry sir..I will pay for your suit..and.."
• He didn't let me finish what I was going to say. He rose from his seat. He towered my 5 '6 height with his 6"5 height. He grabbed my handkerchief in my hand and wiped some pasta on his suit."It's okay." he glanced at me briefly and he walked to the door with my handkerchief with him. The four men follow him but the last guy puts some money on the table.
• His voice is cold as ice yet I felt like I was on fire. His presence itself is quite intimidating. He walked like he was some kind of God. His face looks familiar.. I tried to dig into my memory..then it hit me! He is the guy I saw from our school with the same cold and captivating eyes! Holycow!
• "Athea? Are you alright?"
• I looked at Lilly.. "Yes I am. I'm sorry again Lily. I will clean this first.."
• "No it's okay Athea. Rose called Simon "they will be here in a moment.."
• "It's okay Lily, I'll clean this up first before I go.."
• After I cleaned the mess Rose and Tina were already there. I bid my farewell to Simon and Lily. We drove to Rose house. Their house is huge..well she's a rich girl.
• When I saw the dress that they wanted me to wear I almost fainted (literally).
• "No! I will not wear that thing! Rose!"
• She rolled her eyes "C'mmon! That thing you called thing is a dress Athea! I'm fucking sure you will slay that dress.!"
• "Dress! We have different definitions of dress!"
• "Don't be so over dramatic Athea..You will wear it on your own or we will help you to do that?" Tina sounds like she wants to murder me.
• "Fine! Okay! Only tonight..but promise me. This is the last time! No more dress again!" I said it with a threatening voice.
• They gulp..oh shit did I frightened them.
• "Ghad! Athea! No need to treat us like we're some kind of criminal."
• I didn't answer them. I walked to Rose closet and changed my clothes after that I marched to Rose and Tina who are still doing their makeup.
• Tina saw me first.. "Oh..shit Athea! If I were a boy I would bang you tonight!"
• "You're freakin' hot and sexy..! I'm sure many guys at the party will drop their jaws."
• I don't believe them. I know they're just exaggerating. I turned my body and looked at Rose in the full length mirror. I gasped..this is not me. The dress I'm wearing is dark red. It clung to my body perfectly. It is classy, hot and sexy..
• "I'm soooo excited for this party.." Tina beamed with excitement.
• They let me sit down and do my make up..Rose is a really good makeup artist. I can't even recognise myself.
• "There you goo..! You really stunning tonight!"
• Rose let me wear her red high heels. I protested but I know this time I don't have a choice.
• After we checked ourselves if everything was okay we headed to the party. Tina and Rose are stunning also. Tina is wearing an olive dress, it stops on her mid thigh. She is well hot as hell..while on the other hand Rose is wearing a royal blue dress. She had that curve that was worth dying for. She's the definition of simplicity and damn sexy..
• We hopped to the car and Rose drove us to the party.
• "What kind of party is this?" I asked Rose.
• "Well, it's for all. Pelly always throws a party every third month of the year..."
• "I don't want to mingle horny and gross teenagers!"
• "Relax, Pelly's party is quite different. He has a party for the horny teenager whatever you call it and he has a party for the class teenager."
• I knitted my eyebrows "What do you mean by that?"
• "You'll see it later, Athea.."
• We arrived at the Pelly house..not just a house but a massive mansion. The music boomed everywhere. There are lots of cars outside.
• I hesitated for a moment. I'm not used to crowds anymore. Rose tugged my hand. "Let's go.."
• I inhaled deeply before we entered their house. It was dark despite the fact that I spotted many teenagers. Some are a bit wasted and some are dancing like there is no tomorrow.
• "Oh..joy.." There are boys trying to hit us and want us to join them but Rose just brushed them off. Rose said something to them and the boys hurriedly ran for their lives. My curiosity kicked in but I never said anything.
• Rose led us to another room. It was way bigger than the other room. It was less dark and more formal than the other one. There are some of our schoolmates I recognised. Many tables scattered at the corner of the room. Men sitting there are mostly wearing black suits. They're drinking and chilling. I remember again those men in the cafe..
• The music gets louder. Men and women started to dance on the dance floor. Wild and intense.
• "This is what I'm trying to tell you.."
• "Oh.." that's all I can answer.
• "Now, let's drink, girls! And let's enjoy the party!" Tina shouted happily.
• We went to the counter. We order our own drinks. We talked about random things. There are guys who want to get our attention but we just brush them off until they surrender.
• "Where is Pelly by the way?" Tina asked Rose.
• "Hmm..maybe with the boss.."
• Did I hear Rose right?. She didn't realize what she said until I looked at her.
• "I-I mean he was with his father and his father's boss..the CEO of their business." she smiled nervously.
• I panicked a little and didn't say anything. No this can't be happening. I drink more and more till my panicked subside.
• "Girls, let's dance..!" Tina holds our arm. I want to protest but Tina has been possessed by the liquor she became strong. She led us to the dance floor and we began dancing well..let's do this!
