He Loves Me Not

Chapter 1 {What the fuc-?}

Picture of the Restaurant
Name: Hidden Paradise 

Setting: New York

Storm's POV:

"So everybody we have this big..." was all I heard before I started dozing off. I looked back up again before looking around to see if anyone saw me and then looked back to James while he spoke.

"Are there...," I started dozing off again until someone started snapping their fingers in front of my face.

"What the fuc-"

I rubbed my eyes and looked up to see my manager Joseph looking down at me with concern.

"Is everything alright Storm? The whole time I was talking, I kept looking your way only to see you constantly dozing off. Am I that boring or what?" James asked, smiling at me.

I laughed, "Noo James, of course, you're not boring it's just that Marcus and I stayed up until 4 am arguing about his bum ass being out all night with his so-called single friends."

"Oh wow I told you that bum wasn't good for you with his slick ugly ass. But anyways you missed a lot of stuff during the meeting. The owner Mr. Issac is coming sometime this month to look at...well more like inspect the restaurant. He's going to be undercover so watch out. Even though you cook great food I'm just trying to give everybody a heads-up." Joseph said, folding his arms.

"Oh that's cool, I'll just brush up on my skills some more and maybe even bring a new cuisine recipe to the menu soon. Is there anything else Mr. Joseph or can I start working?"

He glared at me out of the corner of his eye and said, "If you were up during the meeting Missy we wouldn't be having this conversation now would we. But oh um...a head chef spot has opened up and so far you, Samantha and Todd are being looked at as the main three candidates."

"Ugh, you had me until you said Samantha, I don't know what her or Mrs. Gladius have against me," I say, pouting.

"Mhm...she sees you as her competition you know, before you and Todd got here she was like the best of the best, and I think Glaldius and her are related to each other but that's another story for another time."

"Oh well, she needs to leave me alone before she has the best of two black eyes," I say while rolling my eyes.

James starts laughing, "Storm if you don't stop, now go ahead and start working." He states while shaking his head.

"I'm serious, don't be laughing or shaking your head at me," I mumble while walking to my station.

"Wait, Storm, what has Natasha fine self been up to?" He asks, smirking.

"Let me find out you are trying to get with my god-mother Mr. Joseph. You know she can't stand yo butt." I say eyeing him while smiling.

"You know she loves me; I don't know why she is trying to play hard to get." He says while walking towards the other side of the kitchen.

"Ah ah ah, you got a husband at home. Don't play!" I replied laughing at him.

"Oh trust me he would hit it too we've already discussed this, she can turn us into a trio, all she has to do is say the word."

I laugh at him while shaking my head. This man is crazy. Now time to make some magic. I mumble while looking through my list of orders.

I sigh before picking an order and gathering my ingredients.

"God I'm so tired, mhm I wonder what Naomi's doing we haven't talked to each other in a minute. I think I'll call her." I mumbled to myself while walking to my car.
