Trouble in Paradise

Nothing

Picture above is Kat.
Haze's POV
So it's closing time at the restaurant and I have to stay back and meet with Matteo... I'm a bit nervous to be honest, what if he doesn't like what I cook? I'll be stuck with mop duty for the next two months....

Plus I really wanna be in the kitchen... I wanna show people I can do it...

So here goes nothing.

"Wow alone with Mattey already on your first day" a voice says behind me as I'm waiting in the restaurant for Matteo.

I turn around to see Kat glaring at me with a cocky grin on her face. "Umm, it's just work related so...." I say standing up from the seat I was on to stand in front of her.

She scowls at me and takes a step towards me

"Woah, personal space buddy" I say laughing and stepping back putting my hands in front of me.

She laughs at me and "If I were you, I'd stay away from him Hazel" she says with a scowl.

Okay biatch.... that's it!!!

"Girl, the whole restaurant saw Matteo reject you so I don't think you can come here and tell me to stay away when clearly the one lacking personal space knowledge is you. Girl to girl, he ain't into you so stop making yourself look even more of an ass than you already are... Word of advice.... DO NOT MESS WITH ME! I hate drama but when it comes my way, I will always be the one to end it" I say with a sarcastic tone as Kat looks surprised as she places her hand over her mouth.

Take that biatch!!

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting with Mattey, ALONE" I say emphasizing on the last word. She was about to say something back to me as I quickly shushed her "Don't make it worse for yourself sweetie" I said to her as she stormed out of the restaurant.

That was heated... why does drama have to follow me everywhere I go??

I mean I don't even like the guy, why is she coming after me?

I despise him...

He's arrogant

And rude

And mean

And cute

And sexy mysterious...

Hey? What? Who said that?

Well, it's not a lie....

"Hey, are you ready?" Matteo says from behind me.

I turn around to face him, take a deep breath in and out and nod my head yes. We both walk back to the kitchen and by now every other person has already left and it's just me and Matteo in the restaurant.

We enter into the kitchen, I tie my hair up and close my eyes and say to myself You can do this, just do what you do best, be strong, and remember everything he taught you. I open my eyes to see Matteo staring at me.

"What" I say to Matteo who's staring at me like he's trying to figure me out or something.

"Why-why do you always do that?" He asks.

"It helps calm my nerves. My father always told me that anytime I feel stressed or nervous, I should close my eyes and breath in and out and open my eyes and it gets rid of all my nerves and I see the world in fresh, new eyes. It helps. He used to call it his breathing technique" I say looking down and playing with the hem of my shirt.

Why am I suddenly talking about him so much? He shouldn't be on my mind this much.

"Your dad sounds like a good guy" Matteo says which causes me to laugh bitterly at the thought of my dad being a good guy.
