The Boss

chapter 1

Amelia pov

Jolting up from sleep thinking I was floating on waters only to realize it was only a dream, fucking shit, I would say  to myself but today is not just the day to start that drama, looking sideways to check for time on my alarm, its 7:45 am  shit, shit, shit, I thought, which means I only have just fifteen minutes to get to work or I can have my head on a silver platter, grabbing a yellow faded blue jeans and crop top I practically ran to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and had a quick shower, I am not a make up person do am good to go, I picked up my favorite chocolate cake from the fridge and dashed out of my one room apartment.
Before I forget am am amelia williams, the only daughter of a drunkard parent to whom I ran away from in order to find myself, I am a graduate from Nyu in business, I couldn't find a reasonable job after moving around for a while I settled for working as a waitress in a very big establishment, actually I do two jobs to keep body and souls together though, I am strict believer that love truly exist even when luck wasn't on my side to find a true love yet.

" go straight to the locker room, the boss isn't in great mood today", cecilia my only best friend told in a hushed voice while walking past me to the locker.
" why, did something happen", I asked in whisper as I walk towards my station to pick up my things, by things I meant, notepad and pen.
" seems the boss got his ass on the pan", ceci laughed and I stare in confusion.
" what do you mean", I asked again as she just rolled her eyes at me looking at me like I am dumb, not my fault though, not the type to quickly understand things if I don't process well.

" what I meant was the boss finally broke up with the plastic bag", she hissed at the end of her words.

Let me just say nobody like Josephine for the boss, they always believe she is a dutch, not too classic in delivery her hateful attitude towards anyone she comes across, its not like our boss is of any different but at least we endure his attitude for the pay.

" and you are excited because", I said putting on my apron of blue colors, smoothen my hair, pulling it into a bun before grabbing my stuff, how can i get through today, I keep asking my inner self, it just not a good wakeup day, trust me.

" you know I don't like her for him", she replied looking elsewhere but me.
" ceci, you never liked anyone for him, its either they are too babyish too revealing but one thing am sure of is that this dude doesn't even see you that way, you are worth more than a butt as s like him", I ranted loosing all my breath.

" you never cursed, what crawled up your ass and died",she asked with raised eyebrows.
" what", I feign ignorant.
" oh cut the crab, you know what I meant, so spill", she replied not at all convinced it nothing.
" nothing went wrong other the fact that I keep asking myself if I deserve better than this or not", I told her and left.

The rest of my day went with going from table to table taking turns of asking if they are okay or needed another thing for themselves, sometimes I wish I was the one being served.

" earth with it, William".

Only one person will call me that and its my boss ", boss, just took the last table, I need to rest my feet".

" you will need to rest your feet after you must have finished with that table over there, oh, they just walked in and please be patient with the lady, the man is very important to use", he said in a pleading tone and I can't but wondered who thw man is.

The boss left and I sauntered to the table the boss mentioned, couldn't help but noticed a man in blue stripped suit, he has broad shoulders and a small beards, his hair was styled with gel giving him a very devious look. I keep on ogling the man until a finger tapped in my face and I came down to earth.

" would you please bring back your attention, you stupid piece of shit", the voice said.

I couldn't help but turn statue at the words being said to me, really I would love to reply but I remembered the boss words and I chanted countlessly inside of me.

" sorry mam, I was lost in thought, would you like to order anything", I apologize with gritted teeth.

" get me your best rice and the finest rice while my man will have the same as me, right baby", the lady said as I almost puked out my lungs, note the sarcasm, but seriously who has that kind of voice, of course the woman in front of me.

" remember the reason we are here, don't add baby to the list of things you have called me, this is strictly business, you know I have no time for whatever is it you are proposing', the dude responded without battling an eyeball.

Never knew a guy could be a bitch but a certified one at that, how can he just composed himself while he said harshful words to people.

" what would you like sir", I said in a more professional way so as not to give away the fact that I was ogling him not quite long ago.
" just your wine and chocolate cake", he said sounding impatient.
" right on it sir"/ I answered glancing at the barbie who sat there looking at me like she would love the idea of killing me.

I went straight to the counter, put down their order, resting half my body on the counter while I wait for their order to arrive,until I hit an unfortunate encounter.

" hello beautiful", I heard, turning around to the voice of the person, putting on the smile I have mastered during the years of my work.

" what would you like sir", I said politely.
" you", he said bluntly and my eyebrows raised instantly.

" excuse me", I exclaimed creating a bit of distance between us.

" I said I would like you in my bed waitress", he said biting his lower lip trying to look sexy but the man was nothing but an ugly hunk, don't mind me though he is cute but not like the other guy.

" if you don't mind sir, we don't run an hotel here. But a restaurant, I will like for you to back out right now, cos am not in the mood for any drama sir", I was gripping my apron with force, what audacity he has to approach me like that, this is the first time I will be experiencing a thing as  this, don't know why I find it difficult to breath on it.

" you slime, thinking you are better than anyone, do you know who I am, how dare you disrespect me in a public place, do you think you are worth a dollar to me, what effontery", he shouted at me.

" Mr saige, whats going on?. Amelia reina Williams what have you done", the boss said rushing to my side, like I said the dude can be a bad ass when it comes to business.

" may I ask why your waitress seem to disrespect me", mr saige asked acting like he had done nothing at all and I was left confused.

" we are very sorry about the inconvenience, how can we make it up to you sir", my boss asked looking away from my pleading eyes.

" fire her or loose my share", the man said with no hint of remorse in him and I held my breath, hoping the boss would choose wisely but who am I to wish for the impossible, I kept on looking from the man to my boss, would it have been okay if I had said something back to him and he sacked, instead of keeping quite and still be sacked, damn I was too gentle with it and the second option is worst.

" will be right on it sir", the boss said before turning to me", Amelia am sorry but I can't loose a customer because of you, sorry, you will have to leave", he said while looking down on the floor.

I felt drained, didn't like it that I was disposed like that, why can't I just be like the rest and voice out my thoughts it all began when I was little.......
