Chapter 4
When it becomes reddish-brownish, the type of brown that does not look burnt, you flip it over.

I replayed Lotty's words in my mind as I carefully fry 10 pieces of bacon and 15 eggs. The eggs weren't so hard to cook so I was okay with them but I was still getting confused with the bacon, sausages and hotdogs. And oh, don't get me started on the pancakes

When both sides of three pieces of bacon were good to go, I prepared the order and pressed the bell thingy on the side of the counter to let the waitress on duty know the order was ready.

I served two of the costumers who were seated on the stools behind the counter and went back to cooking. This was actually better than serving hormonal men and classless/mannerless kids and teens.

"I'd like to order." Another costumer says from behind. I turned and saw Luke sitting on one of the stools with an amused look. My eyes widened and I accidentally placed my hand on the flat stove.

"Shit." I hissed as I quickly pulled away hand. I hear him starting to call Lotty and when she saw me, she instantly pulled me and sat me on the stool beside Luke's. I bet she did that on purpose.

"Here, can you please tend her hand while I take over her work." She looked like she wanted to scold me but she managed to also wink at me as she dropped the first aid kit on the counter and leaves us both.

The pain felt like a bitch. Who the hell forgets she was cooking and puts her hand on top of an open stove? Oh right, me.

"I can handle it." I said as I take the cream from him.

"No, no it's fine. Lotty might scold me for being 'ungentlemanly'." He said, chuckling as he shook his head.

I bursted out laughing, "Is that even a word?" He shrugged and made this 'sshh' sign when Lotty turned to us.

"Oops." I grinned trying to stifle my laugh, but I didn't have too because zo started wincing in pain as he applied the cream on my hand. Stupid Stupid me.

"Be careful next time." He puts the cream container inside the first aid kit but what really caught my attention was his chest. He was wearing a button down polo shirt and I could see his chest and my it was defined. His abs were not very seen but I could see a bit of it and let me tell you, this Luke does work out. Oh wait, don't get me started on his biceps. They were --

"Are you peeking through my shirt?" I felt my whole face heat up. I shook my head and turned to look on the other side. Shit I hope he didn't see my blush.

"No, why would I, I'm not a pervert for Christ's sake, I," I started chuckling but when I faced him he had an eyebrow raised at me and he looked amused with my stuttering because he was smirking.

"So you didn't see anything?"

"Nope." I answered too quickly. He adjusted his polo shirt revealing a bit more of his defined chest. "No?" I shook my head looking away.

"Really?" He says in a husky voice which was a HUGE turn on. He was leaning closer to me and I could smell his cologne. His cologne was probably either Bvlgari or Armani. I've smelt his cologne before. Anyway back to him, he was leaning so close I could feel some sexual tension building and right now I wanted to jump him and make out with him and --

"Are you there?" He said snapping his fingers in front of me. I smiled and nodded my head, "Sorry I was deep in thought."

"No wonder you burned your hand earlier." He said and just in time, Lotty came with his order.
