Nothing to everything

The Run In

Keegan Dante's POV

I don't know why but I'm memorized by Kim Sander's. She's beyond beautiful, intelligent, hard working, strong minded, and determined. I have to do something to have her next me to at all times. It's driving me crazy knowing that she's working so hard and barley making ends meet. I have to help her.

I want her. I need her. I want to feel her touch. I crave her.

I have Brian pick me up early and go to the diner. It's thunder-storming right now and I would give anything to lay in bed all day looking out of the window with Kim next to me. I want to feel her body pressed against mine. I want to touch her body. I want to feel her soft, smooth skin. I crave her lips against mine.

We arrive at the diner and I grab the umbrella away from Brian and open the door to the diner.
Kim is standing directly in front of the doorway holding a mop.

She even looks beautiful holding a mop. 

"Good morning, are you checking IDs or what?" I ask her as I start to grin.

I try to not laugh as I look at her. Seeing her reaction to my question has her confused. She's so cute when she has no idea what is going on.

"Uh no...why would I check IDs?" she ask me

"Your blocking the entrance to come inside. I'm standing in the door frame of the diner and it's raining extremely hard...so I figured since your standing here you must be either checking IDs or your deciding who's attractive enough to come inside" I say

"Your attractive enough sir..oh you pass that qualification with flying colors" she says and covers her mouth. I take it she's embarrassed by what she just said but at least now I know she thinks I'm attractive. She tries to step to the side to allow me inside, but she trips over the mop bucket.

I drop the umbrella that I was holding and reach towards her. I wrap my arms around Kim's waist, grabbing her so she doesn't fall to the ground. I grip my arms around her small body a little tighter making sure she won't fall. She opens her eyes and I'm staring directly in her eyes. It's like we can see right through each other at this very moment.

"Are you okay?" I ask her

I still have my arms wrapped around her as I wait for her to answer me. I feel her body pressed tightly against mine and it feels so amazing having her next to me. I can hear her breathing heavy. I smell her sweet scent perfume and look her in her eyes..."Kim, are you okay? Can you hear me?"

"Uhh yes I hear you. Yes I'm okay I'm sorry" she says

I let go of her and smile. As much as I hated to let her go I had to.

"There's no reason to be sorry. You did nothing wrong. If anything the owner of this diner should be sorry. There is no reason you should be out here mopping up this damn water. They need to put a rug here or something. Can you fix me a French vanilla latte please?" I say

Kim turns around and starts making the latte.

Damn she looks so good. She has her hair up in a bun and has light makeup on. She's wearing a pair of jeans that fit nice and tight around her ass and she has a black shirt on that reveals her cleavage.

"Is there anything else you would like sir?" she ask

"Yes I'd like one of those chocolate chip cookies please" I say

"So Kim tell me about yourself?" I say

"Well you know my name but what is your name?" she ask

"My name is Keegan." I say

"That's a nice name. Thank you for catching me earlier. I'm so clumsy sometimes. You must really like those French vanilla lattes?" she ask

"Yes. They are delicious. This is the only place I get them from." I tell her

"Today is only your second day here though..."

"Yes but my assistant Emily comes here every morning and get me my latte. You know... The customer that works for the real jerk of a boss " I says as I wink at her

she starts laughing "I'm yeah sorry about that. I didn't realize you were her boss the day I said that. Please don't tell her I said that. She never actually said anything bad about you... I just assumed..."

"It's fine Kim. I know Emily thinks I'm the biggest jerk in the universe and the meanest boss in the world." I say as I take a sip of coffee "I just like to make sure my employees are always busy doing something. I pay my employees well above the average pay so I expect above average work" I say

"Well that's understandable."

"Do you like working here?"

"I like the customers but I don't like working here plus my other job takes a toll on me.... I prefer this job though" she says

"other job...what other job?" I ask.

I had a complete background check and there was nothing about having another damn job. I'm so pissed off right now. What else about her I don't know?

"Well I work here during the day and I work at Tanners Tavern at night. We actually bumped into each other there the night before you first came in her. I need Two jobs sir and u can barley make ends meet as it is" she says as she picks up the empty plate that once had a delicious fresh chocolate chip cookie on it.

"Wait... You were the bartender I ran into in the back entrance? I thought you looked familiar like i had seen you before but I didn't know where I had saw you." I say

"Yes sir that was me! Once again in very clumsy."

"Well, when is your next day off?" I ask

"It's actually tomorrow. Why sir?"

"Stop with the sir stuff. I will have a driver pick you up at 8 am and bring you to my office. Please be ready. I have to get going but if something comes up here is my business card with my contact information. You can contact me day or night. See you tomorrow" I say as I hand her a folded up hundred dollar bill.

"Thank you for the tip sir but why am I going to your office? I don't understand" she says

"Kim, just be ready please. Thank you" I say as I get up and walk out of the diner.

I get in the car and head to the office. I don't understand why I didn't know she worked at Tanner's.

I call Tanner as soon as I get in the car.

"Tanner, this is Keegan. You have an employee by the name of Kim Sander's. She no longer is going to be employed at the tavern. I'm going to have her working for me and I can't have her having another job. Sorry for the short notice. Thanks man, I'll talk to you later" I say as I hang up the phone.
