The billionaire's decision

Chapter 3

The V.I.P section wasn't busy tonight, but there were a lot of usual faces. As I finished placed the orders by the chef, I walked back into the V.I.P section.

I noticed one of our waiters, Max, escorted three men to a reserved table. As I walked to the table I couldn't help but stare at the tall muscular man in the dark blue suit. He wasn't too muscular but just enough to make him stand out in a room. His dark brown fluffy hair fell perfectly to the side. My eyes wondered down to his full pink lips. His freshly marked beard and cocky smirk on his face fitted perfectly. He licked his lips like he knew I was watching. That's when my eyes met his. Those gorgeous golden brown eyes could light up any room he walk in. 

His eyes darkened every second that we kept contact. I began getting nervous for some reason. My palms began to feel sweaty and my legs started to feel wobbly. 

"Eh hemmm" I heard someone clear their throat and I snapped out of whatever trance I was in.

Although we was only staring at each other for a few seconds it felt like hours. I cleared my throat and finally said "Good Evening, My name is Alaya and I'd be your waitress tonight" I smiled and laid the menus on the table for them. "Can I offer you any drinks while you decide on the meal" he never stopped staring at me.

"Sure princess we'd like the finest wine you have" finally said smirking at me.

Usually I feel creeped out when men call me anything other than my name but right now that simple word made my cheeks turn red. 

He noticed by the smirk on his face. 

The two older men from the table just nodded their head and I smiled and turned around to get the wine.

"Is the Air conditioner working tonight" I asked Jacob walking into the kitchen.

"Yes are you going through menopause" he said laughing at me.

"Maybe I am" I laughed

"You actually came a minute late today, that's a record" he said jokingly.

"I didn't want to make you feel bad that's I'm the best employee so I tried to make you look good for once" I joked getting the wine and the tray with the glasses.

"You're full of yourself do you know that?" he laughed at me opening the door for me to walk out the kitchen.

I walked back to the table with one of my dad's favourite wine. "Here you go" I smiled and elegantly placed the wine and the glasses down and poured it for them.

"Good choice I must say" one of the older men said. The one in the dark blue suit never took his eyes off me and it made me nervous I don't even know how I managed to pour the wine without throwing it all over the table.

 I saw his eyes flicked up and down like he was watching me head to toe and he licked his lips after.

I felt my heart racing just from that action. I was going crazy. I turned always and took their orders. Whilst walking away I can feel him staring at me.

I gave the chef the orders and I attended to other customers. Once I carried their food to them I finally ran away to use the washroom.

I was rushing back outside to attend to the tables when I bumped into something big and hard and almost fell. I closed my eyes waiting for to hit the ground but it didn't happen. I felt to big arms wrapped around me.

I didn't even have to turn around, I immediately recognized the cologne.

He lowered his face my the crook of my neck and whispered "You must watch where you're going Princess, you don't wanna ruin that pretty little face of yours"

I wasn't sure if it was his arms that was wrapped around me, the sound of his low husky voice in my ear or his stupid nickname for me but my pores raised against his skin and I felt vulnerable. 

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH ME! 

It's just a man Laya you're better than this, one cheesy pick up line and nice cologne and you're swooning over him, man up

 I thought to myself as I finally got the strength to move away from him. 

"Thanks for saving my fall" I said without watching him and I turned and walked away before he could respond. I went to the changing room to regain my composure and went back out to serve the orders.

By the time I reached at his table I noticed the three of them were already gone. When I picked up the check I saw a writing on a napkin. "Here's a tip Princess, you deserve it. E"

I opened the check book and saw FOUR FREAKING HUNDRED DOLLARS as a tip.....WHAT....

Why would he leave such a big tip I can't take that!

E..... I wonder what it stands for. 

I tried to take my mind off him but for the rest of the night he was all I could think of.

After I finished clean the tables when the customers left, I walked into John's office.

"John, do you remember the table I served with the three men in suits?" 

He thought about it for a while and then nodded. "Yes I remember, is everything okay?"

"Yes everything is okay but they left me a really huge tip and I don't think I should accept it."

"Alaya no it's yours to keep, any tip you guys receive is all yours"

"But John it wasn't no normal tip, the left $400 in tip, that's way to much what if they made a mistake" I said.

"Shhh just accept it and be happy, it's no mistake, I'm glad someone noticed how hard you work and gave you a tip you deserved!"

 "Plus, those guys are extremely wealthy, $400 is nothing to them. Is your friend coming for you?"

"Oh okay... fine I guess I would keep it then... and no but Jacob said he'd give me a drop, see you tomorrow" I said and he nodded.

"Jacob you rea...." 

I stopped when I saw him in the changing room making out with Elise. I quickly walked out. Well that was disturbing, I knew they liked each other and don't get me wrong, I'm glad they did something about it but in the changing room eww.

I sat outside waiting and finally Jacob and Elise came out. "I did not see anything" I said immediately. AWKWARD. They both laughed and we walked to the car.

"So you guys are a thing now?" I said

"Yes, but don't be weird about it" he said blushing.

"Once there isn't any PDA in work I'm good" I laughed when both Elise and Jacob blushed like school children who had their first crush.

Who am I to be talking. I never even had a crush before, much less for a boyfriend.

"Thanks guys, reach home safe" I said as I jumped out the vehicle.

"WHAT THE HELLLL" I shouted as I covered my eyes. As I opened the door I was blinded by the sight of my aunt and some dude butt naked on the couch that my parents picked out when I was 12. I ran upstairs to my room not even knowing what to do, say or even feel.

The thing is she knows that I come home around this time and she's does this kind of thing to show me that she can do what she wants. I know I'm old enough to live alone but when my parents died I didn't go to the reading of the will and the lawyer called me and told me that my parents will stated that if anything happens to me that my aunt will be my legal guardian and apparently my parents puttee house on her name. I didn't really care cause I wasn't functioning at the time anything they said never actually registered in my brain until after when my aunt started taking everything over.

I took a shower and laid in bed thinking about my parents and how different my life would've been if they were still with me today.
