Rody's POV:
(It's Monday, btw also, small warning some smut❗️)We both head downstairs, and Vince tells me to check if everything's clean while he opens the door.
I go into the kitchen, making sure everything is in order before heading back into the dining room.
Once I'm there, I see Vince waiting at the door. "What are you doing?" I say, walking over to him,"waiting for the chefs, obviously."
He says, crossing his arms while leaning against the wall. How long do you usually wait?" I say, watching him as he pulls out a cigarette from a pack.
"10 minutes at most." He says, fiddling with his lighter before lighting the cigarette and taking a long drag.
"Well, shouldn't we do something other than wait that long?" I say whining. I don't know why I'm so impatient today.
"Like what?" He says, tilting his head as he blows out smoke. It gets in my face, and I start coughing aggressively.
"Rody, I barely blew anything towards you. Why are you coughing so much.." he says, taking another drag of his cigarette.
"It doesn't matter. I still can't tolerate smoke!"Once I say this, he sighs some smoke, leaving his mouth before opening the front door and throwing his cigarette out he stomps on it before turning back to me and shutting the door.
"Happy?" He says, leaning against the wall again. "You didn't have to do that.." I say, rubbing the back of my neck, "it doesn't matter what's done. Is done."
I smile softly, glad he put out his cigarette for me. After a while, someone had come in it was a chef he waved to us, both not saying a word before leaving to the kitchen.
After that, another came in, and they said a brief good morning before walking into the kitchen.
"Do your chefs even talk to you?" I say, wondering why the first two barely said anything. "No, they don't. I suppose they either don't like me or they're too afraid to speak up."
Well, I guess that makes sense he did put someone's head over a stove once.. "Well, maybe you should try being nicer!" I say enthusiastically.
"Absolutely not." He says, rolling his eyes "plus I don't need you telling me how to run my restaurant." He says, leaving to the kitchen.
"Why are you going to the kitchen? Shouldn't you be waiting at the door?" I say stopping him, "you can do that if you're so worried about it, but I'm gonna tell them what the food of the day is." He says, leaving to the kitchen, leaving me in the dining room alone.
After a while, the rest of the chefs arrived, and I greeted them at the door, including the person I said I'd hang out with on tuesday. I still need to get his name.
"Hey Rody," He says, walking up to me "hey uh.. sorry, what's your name?" He tilts his head "right i forgot to tell you it's Nicolas." He says smiling, I like his positive energy even though it's like 7 in the morning.
"Alright, Nicolas, are you still ready to hang out tomorrow?" (Said in chapter 14 b4 the confession)
"Of course I am. Where did you wanna go?" I think about it for a moment,"maybe the movies?" I say rubbing the back of my neck "yea sure that sounds good." He says before turning around.
"I should get to the kitchen before Vincent gets mad at me for not doing my job.. see you later!" He says, waving before leaving to the kitchen.
I wave back to him, and he goes inside the kitchen.

After another hour or so, people started to come in, but it wasn't too busy since it was a Monday.
I kept going into the kitchen to 'take out the trash', but I was really going in there to tease Vince and blow him kisses while no one was looking.
After a while of doing this, he apparently got sick of me and went to his office, which made me sad, but I just continued to work till the end of the day.
At the end of the day, the chefs started to leave out, but Nicolas had stayed to chat with me.
We started a conversation about what we should do after watching a movie on tuseday, and then Vince came out of the kitchen and immediately shot us a glare. Nicolas didn't notice and continued to talk to me.
Vince then came up to us and put a hand on Nicolas shoulder "shouldn't you be going home?" He says, putting on a forced smile. "Right.. I'll see you around Rody." He says before walking out, and Vince immediately gives me a death stare.
"What we're you two talking about?" He says, crossing his arms annoyed. I honestly didn't think he'd get jealous so easily. "Oh, we were going to hang out tomorrow after work." I say, trying not to make him mad, but my attempt failed.
He stares at me for a moment before speaking "fine then you can hang out with him." I smile,"really?"
"Yea, just come back to the bistro when you're done.. now let's go upstairs." He says, going upstairs to the apartment, and I follow behind him.
Once we're inside, Vince turns to me, "Do you want to take a shower together?" He says this, but it's obvious he's nervous, I feel my face get hot, and I just nod my head.
I'm surprised he wants to take a shower together even though we haven't been dating too long.
I follow him into the bathroom, and I slowly start to take off my shirt, and he turns around to do the same. After we get undressed, I hear Vince turn on the water, and he gets in. I get in after him, trying not to look at him too much since I'm nervous.
"Rody, stop being nervous. You're going to make things akward." He says, putting body wash on a rag and putting it on my chest as he starts to wash me. "It's too hot," I say, whining.
"Shut up." He says, moving the rag up to my neck,"Turn around. " I do as he says, and he starts washing my back after he finishes he starts to wash himself, and I rense off and wash the rest of my body.
After a while, we get out, and I wrap myself in a towel, and he does the same. we go into his room, and we get dressed (sorry, I'm getting lazy)
I sit on the bed, and he sits next to me. we just sit in silence until he rests his head on my shoulder it's obvious he's tired. "Let's go to sleep."
"Without dinner?" He says nit even bothering to look up at me "yea I'm not that hungry anyway."
"Alright.." he says, laying down, and I do the same. Our bodies intertwine with one another, and we both fall asleep after a while, and I mumble."Goodnight, vince.." Before I finally fall asleep.
