His Whore [ON HOLD]

Chapter Twenty Two

"August!" A shout caught both Augusts' and Alec's attention. A wide smile spread across Augusts's when she turned to see Nadia, a waitress working at Romanov, running to her. August opened her arms and wrapped them around Nadia. "Hey" she chuckled feeling herself be rocked back and forth. "It's been so long! You need to visit more! All of our regulars haven't been coming around as often and we are all getting worried" she chuckled letting August go.

"I'm sorry Nadia, I've been jammed pack with work that I haven't had the chance to visit but I'm here now! And I brought someone new, this is my boss" August turned to Alec, pulling him closer to her "he needs the full lunch platter. A sample of everything, please" Nadia held her hand out to Alec, giving him a big smile "Nadia Conical, pleasure to meet you" she gave a half bow. A small half smile lifted Alec's frown at Nadia's quirkinesses.

It's nice to meet you to" he shook her hand.

"I'm going to put your order in while August takes you to your table. The food shouldn't take more than thirty minutes so I'll be over there in a sec to get you something to drink."

"Thank you!" August lead Alec to their booth, a large semi closed circle fit for at least fifteen people. "Why do we need a booth so big?" Alec questioned "I ordered one of everything on the menu" she chuckled "it's a lot of food but well worth the money. You'll need as much room as you can get and this is the biggest table they have asides from the party room but those aren't used often."

August slides to the middle of the booth, a rare smile spreading across her lips. Alec slide in watching her in wonder, August rarely ever gave Alec a smile so big. He liked it. "Here you are" Geneva walked over with a bottle of wine and two glasses of water stuck between her arms. "The first couple of dishes should be out soon" Geneva said, "in the meantime would you like a basket of bread?" Alec nodded watching as Geneva walked back to the kitchen to grab the bread.

Alec turned to August "I've realized we don't know a lot about each other, tell me about yourself. You know everything about me but I know nothing about you. What are your likes and dislikes? Favorite movie, hobbies, childhood?"

August pursed her lips looking behind Alec in thought. She had a lot to tell but to what extent. She didn't want to spill her whole life out to her boss, that'd be inappropriate. "Well, I have a mother and father back in New York. I went to college on a scholarship, I hate coffee but I love hot chocolate, my favorite movie has got to be Avatar, the one with the blue people" She hummed. "Hobbies? I don't have many because of my busy schedule working for you but if I had to choice what my hobbies would be it'd most likely be painting, baking and possibly fostering animals. It's a stupid list but I've always wanted a dog or cat to cuddle up to and painting, even though I'm not good at it, helps me relax when I'm stressed out" she smiled.

"Well I don't think it's a stupid list, it's brilliant actually" Alec smiled "you said you wanted to foster animals? Why don't you?" August gave him a shrug "it's time consuming, rewarding, but time consuming. I could foster but I'd have to have a set schedule, one that the animal could rely on. I wouldn't be able to help you out in the middle of the night when you can't sleep, or take week long trips to wherever you pick. I'd be stationary. . . .plus I already have a. . . ." August thought about Sophia "I already have a daughter" she wanted to say but she couldn't force the words out of her mouth. She had to deal with Sophia before she could deal with an animal and as of so far, every time Sophia is scheduled to fly over, August changes her mind and pushes back the date.

Soon enough she'd have to face Sophia and give her the love and attention August knew she deserved but she couldn't bring herself to glance at her pictures anymore than her motherly nature allows her to.

Alec decided to not question August's distant look and instead turned to the plates upon plates of food being brought over to them. He hadn't realized how much time had passed while they talked.

"Here you go, this is a little over half of it. By the time you get done tasting this the other half should be done" Guinevere, Geneva's twin sister explained. They were identical twins but if August had to choose between the two, Guinevere would be her bed warmer.

"Okay!" August clapped her hands when Guinevere left, "let's get to tasting! I'm dying to try this Risotto."

"That was truly amazing!" Alec grinned from ear to ear. Another smile stretched across Augusts's face at the joy on Alec's. "I'm glad you liked it, I knew you would" she replied.

Alec and August walked down the street, having ditched their ride for a peaceful walk back to their place of work. "Thank you for bring me there August, I think I really needed a stress free time out." August didn't reply to him, instead, she turned the corner and walked up to an ice cream cart "two small chocolate dipped vanilla cones please, the waffle ones if you have them" the man behind the cart grabbed two small waffle cones, scooping up vanilla ice cream in them. "You're still hungry?" Alec asked in disbelief, August can eat a lot, he noted.

"Not really but I never give up a chance to eat ice cream. I prefer Eddy's but anything will do especially in LA weather."

Alec hummed grabbing both of their ice creams and handing one to August, he then grabbed her free hand and tugged her up the street taking a detour from their route. He wanted to enjoy his time with her, before she became his assistant again.
