Bound To You

Chapter 3

  After I was able to resolve the problem at the restaurant I hurried inside, along with the people carrying the food I had to deliver. I put on an employee blazer on top of my white crop top and started taking people's orders, I walked up to one specific table and smiled.

"Hello sir, what would you be having?"

"I can't believe it!" The girl sitting in front of him scoffed. "So our schools' favourite famous influencer is a waitress, LoL" she took out her phone and started recording me but I was calm about it. I couldn't care less about her.

"Ashley stop it" he suddenly scolded her, shocking me.

"Oh come on babe, it's funny, at least people would finally stop praising her so much like she's the owner of this place" she said and I wanted to tell her I was but decided against it.

"Ashley you either stop or we leave, you know I don't like eating at restaurants" he threatened and she put her phone away and he told me what they'll both be having before I walked off. As I was coming back with their order I suddenly tripped making everything in the tray I was carrying fall, some plates breaking and the food everywhere around were I fell. Other waiters and waitresses ran towards me to help me up and to clean up the mess while Ashley was cackling like a psycho and I was fuming with anger.

"Make sure that girl is never allowed here again" I said to the manager that also ran towards me. For some reason they stopped helping me up and then I felt someone take both my hands before helping me up, I looked up at the person and saw it was him.

"I am so sorry" he apologized.

"It-it's fine" I said as we stood there staring at each other.

"Babe! Really!? Why did you help her? Why are you looking at her like that?" Ashley pulled him away from me and started screaming.

"Miss, I'm going to have to ask you to lower your voice" I told her calmly.

"Don't you dare talk to me you lowly waitress" she turned to me sternly. I lifted my brows and with a snap of my finger 2 built men dressed in black suits stood beside me.

"I wouldn't like to ask these men to escort you out miss" I said again calmly and she hushed. After the mess was cleaned up another waiter brought their order and I walked beside him.

"I apologize for my former clumsiness. Enjoy your meal" I passed them a meek smile before walking away. I continued taking orders till I was tired but just as I was about to leave I saw a hand raise and so I walked up to the table and asked a waitress to take away their used plates.

"Babe, I'm going to the car, I'll be waiting" Ashley told him before she left and he only nodded and she kissed his cheek and left.

"I am so sorry" he apologized and I chuckled.

"It's fine" was all I said but I was very irritated.

"I know it's not fine and I would love to repay you"

"Your girlfriend is waiting for you"

"Oh come on, don't be like that"

"Until the day I'm given the title of being your girlfriend, Jackson, I won't be going out alone with you" I said with an expressionless gaze. He looked hurt but it also looked like he blushed a bit. "I'm joking" I smiled and he let out a relieved breath.

"You really have to stop doing that to me"

"Watching you hurt is quite fun too you know"

"Ouch"

"Yes, I feel triumphant" we both chuckled.

"So will you agree on me taking you out?" He asked and I was hesitant before answering.
