This was really stressing me out. Bobbie had left me in charge of running one of the biggest catering gigs we host yearly because she had to be out of town, and I was definitely not ready for it. I had to make sure everyone was where they needed to be, that all plating looked up to par, and that everything in general was going smoothly. We had an hour and a half time till the banquet actually started and there was still so many people missing.

I was about to scream out of frustration when two hands tightly gripped my shoulders.

"Sel, babe you really need to chill out." Faye cooed trying to calm me down. Bobbi had hired her to be the head chef of the bakery department after trying her prideful vanilla-mint cookies. It was great having her here to keep me sane. I really needed it.

"Thanks Faye, but there's still so much shit I have to do! I still have to make sure that all the appetizers are already prepped on serving plates, double check that all the special guests have their designated seats, make sure the entertainment and speakers know when to go on, and to show all the waiters- wait shit! I'm missing two waiters, you see! Things are already looking bad, ugh I hate my life." I slam the clipboard against my forehead and pray that Beyoncé will come from the heavens above to save me.

"Okay, look this isn't so bad, only two waiters missing," Faye pointed out. "We can still manage with that, right?" She attempted reasoning with me. It all just frustrated me even more. I looked at the list once again and realized that Harry was one of the waiters that still hadn't checked in.

Since I had his number I decided call him to find out where the fuck he his. I wait for a few seconds before the phone let out a clicking sound.

"Hello?" A deep strong voice heavily breathed out. I might of had just a miniature heart palpitation, but none of that nonsense right now.

"Harry! Where the fuck are you? Do you realize you are over an hour and half late?! We need you here, no I need you here!" I screamed out into the phone receiver losing all chill; not that I had any in the first place.

"I know, I know! I woke up late and it took me forever to find my damn keys, but I'm almost there just give me fifteen more minutes please." He rushed himself. I huffed in impatience, told him okay and hung up the call.

A few minutes later a few of my friends came by that offered there assistance to ease my stress.

"Hey babe!" My friend Kali greeted as she pulled me into a warm embrace.
Amanda came next and she gave me a bone crushing hug and kiss on the temple. They were both dressed in tight black ensembles, each looking beyond amazing. Kali had her hair in a tight ponytail sitting on the crown of her head; and Amanda had her short teal hair slicked back, with all sorts of ear rings lining her ears.

"Hey guys, thank you so much for making it I don't know what I would do without you. People are pissing me off right now and it doesn't help that I'm hardcore PMS'ing at the moment."

They all nodded there heads in agreement and understanding as I huffed. All I wanted to do right now was cuddle up in 50 blankets with a big tub of cookies and cream ice cream and watch How I Met Your Mother, but life's never that fair.

I directed Amanda and Kali to their posts as hostesses and told them the basics of what they needed to do and where they needed to be at all times. After that I began ordering around the staff to make sure everyone was ready to serve the guests.

As I was working with the stage crew, making sure everything was ready for the showcase I heard my name being called from across the room.

In walked Harry. He had his hair half matted on one side and sticking out in all sorts of directions on the other. His white long-sleeve button down shirt was half tucked in to the tight black skinny jeans that adorned his legs. His belt and bow tie were hanging across his shoulders and he had one shoe on while his other foot was only covered with a bright blue sock.
