Hope's POV:
I wake up snuggling in his athletic, strong, desirable, and loving arms. Lorenzo is still sleeping, he looks incredibly peaceful, gentle, and pleasant but he also is very sexy, hot, and seductive while asleep. It's my first week starting today and I am very nervous and excited about this festival thing which I know nothing about. I quietly leave the bed and make my direction down to my room. In my dorm I peek at the time it is 7:15. Nice, let's see my work schedule for today:
"Monday: I start at 8 am and am working till 3 pm. 8 am- I work in the kitchen at 11 am- Wash the bathroom's floor. There are 15 bathrooms in this house. I need to clean every single one of them. I have 4 hours to clean all of them."
Well, Thank God I woke up early this morning.
This way I won't be late for my first day of working here on the island.I went jogging, I showered at the same bathroom as the first time here and I saw the time I only had 20 minutes before I start. I ran to my room and on the hall, I hit in the wall-
Oh no not again
Well, it was a body. A hard, big, masculine, strong body. Please, tell me it's not him. Oh God helps me, I don't want to look up because I am scared of who I will see. I am naked on the floor, ashamed so I quickly stand up and put on my towel around my naked body. I look up only to find one and only,
Lorenzo is sexy and amused at what he is seeing, looking at me, no I am correcting myself he is staring at me. He doesn't say anything so this is my chance to evacuate out of here before he can add something. I unbox my uniform, honestly, I should have assumed or guessed it. I hate him. He is cruel to think I will wear this to work. The uniforms look precisely like this:
I don't have the time to argue with my boss so I make my way down to the kitchen 👩🍳I always loved cooking and baking 🍳🥐
I am greeted by an old man who looks like he is in his 50's. His name is Alberto. He is delightful and lovely. I was the first here of 5 waitresses in the kitchen today. The man told me today what we serve is breakfast in a huge cafeteria. Me and 4 other women will serve food, drinks, and desserts to a very high standard, outstandingly rich, powerful, and dangerous man who came to the festival.The girls I am working with today are very wonderful and delightful. Jade and Emma are extremely friendly and they talk a ton, fool a lot, and I adore them. Lexi is incredibly shy tho but still very sympathetic. Paige looks very fancy, hot, and attractive. She didn't introduce herself to me so I assuming she is playing the rude woman role who hates every other woman than herself. Emma and Jade are very funny and cheerful, they have been telling me all about them and why they came to the island.
Emma said her household beliefs she might have a possibility of marrying Lorenzo and be the richest wife and if she doesn't marry him she gets the money at least. DID EVERYWOMAN HERE COME TO MARRY LORENZO????? Is he that rich? Is he so much important?Jade talked about her family and how difficult and different she is from her mother. Jade's mom is "little miss perfect" like Jade said, but Jade? She is metal, black eyeshadows, black eyeliner, black ripped clothes, and listens to dark loud metal music. But she is a sweetheart. Her mom should not be embarrassed because she is not wearing short skirts, blonde hair, a short top, and heels. I hate mom's that discriminate. Even his child.
I'm ripped out of my daydreaming and gossiping when I hear a strong voice: "waitresses, let's start, Everybody here is waiting for food" It must be my boss.
We quickly make our way to the kitchen where the kitchen boss tells us what is the first drink we need to serve. Red wine and a glass."Listen to me very closely because I am going to say this one time and never again I am repeating myself, clear?"We all nod in agreement. "First thing, you serve red wine. When you are done and you bring all the wine to their tables, you come back and start serving soup, and then we get to other food, clear? Do not fuck anything up, do not break glasses, bottles, every time you come to a table say hi to the gentleman sitting at the table. Any more questions? Okay, Go!"
Next thing I notice all of the waitresses are jumping and hopping around the kitchen gathering wines and glasses. I see two empty trays and I put the glasses on the tray and the other slowly put wines. I make my way to the dining room. It is full of people laughing, talking, and giggling. There were about 100 males in this huge, big dining room. ONLY MEN. I make my way to the first table:
"Welcome, I brought you red, white, and black wine, you choose which" I end my sentence with a big smile on my face, trying to be polite.
The man thanked me and called me different names like darling, sweetie, angel, honey, dear... Around the first table, there were sitting 40 years old males and older. At the second table I went there were younger men- they look in their 20s. Men had tattoos, piercings, and black clothes.To the rest of the tables, I imitate the same words again and again.
"Good job girls, I love that you are working fast and well." He says honestly, supporting us.
All of the wine and glasses are on the tables.
Now it's time to bring them food.
It's now 10 am and in an hour I end this work shift and start another.
I feel uncomfortable, uneasy, and anxious about me wearing this uniform.
Every man stared at me at the breakfast.
And with that, I mean every man.
EVERY MAN.Lorenzo was not at the breakfast.
I love it here. Nobody knows me.
I am just one of the waitresses.
But my mother's gang can be here.
It could have been one of the gentlemen sitting and staring at me.
but then again why would they wait for me to kill me, they would have killed me when I was serving right there and then.As I look at the time it's almost 11 am, I say goodbyes to my kitchen boss, Jade & Emma, and other girls. I have Jade and Emma's numbers so I can call them anytime to meet up and hang out if I am bored or need company I LOVE THEM.
It sounds easy, right? 4 hours to clean 15 bathroom's? Hell no, I am exhausted, tired, and asleep. I don't feel my legs, neck, and hands. I cleaned 12 bathrooms in 3hours and 3bathrooms in an hour.
I now know why they pay me that much.
It's heavy work. I am not exaggerating.
When I am done I go to my room where I look at my schedule for tomorrow:Tuesday:
I start working at 4 pm and I am working until 3 am.
At 4 pm- There is going to be a pool party at 6 pm so I need to help prepare for the party. Like Prepare drinks, food, tables, chairs, Clean tables, and Clean floor and other things.
My shift at the open night bar at the pool is starting at exactly 6 pm.
We need to wear bikinis. That's the pool party uniform.
