My Best Friend's Cousin

CHAPTER 8: Still Have A Job!?!

•ZEKE•

I had no idea that Faye was the new employee.

However, I did know that despite the running around we had her do and the high demands we were giving her, she succeeded. Then when that fucking bimbo waitress tripped her, who I have wanted to get rid of for a while, had not only tripped her but then insulted her. That was the last straw. Then when I looked at Faye, she looked horrified and like she was pissed but was about to also break down and cry as well.

I became furious and spoke with the manager to fire that girl that tripped Faye.

Sure the food was piping hot and burned me a little as well as stained my couple thousand dollar suit, but I didn't care about that. I could always buy another one.

So after talking with the manager, I headed towards the back to see if I could speak with Faye and assure her myself that she wasn't fired, Helena told me she just left.

I leave to get in my car and start to look for her but can't find her so I head back towards the house.

As soon as I walked in the house, Evan and Lucy were sitting at the table, playing a game and looked at me and started laughing.

"Oh my god. What happened?" Lucy asked.

"There was an accident at dinner." I said.

"Damn, that waitress got you good." Evan smiled.

"Yeah. We knew it was Faye. She came home ten minutes ago and told us what happened and she seemed like she felt really bad. Although I couldn't stop laughing." Lucy says.

"Shut up Luce." I say jokingly.

"Well, she's upstairs, horrified of what happened." Evan says.

"Oh. Well, she's not fired and I fired the girl that caused her to trip so, she still has her job." I tell them.

"I would tell her that man. Cause she really feels bad and is talking about buying you another suit, even." Evan says.

"Okay." I say and start heading upstairs towards her room but then decide to quickly take a shower and get cleaned up first. Then I begin heading back over to her room.

I knock on her door.

"Yeah?" I heard her say.

"It's Zeke. Can I come in for a second?" I ask feeling worried she will tell me to fuck off.

"Sure." She replies and then I open the door and walk inside.

As I stand there, we look at each other and share a brief moment of silence.

"I'm sorry." We both say in unison, trying to break the silence.

"Sorry, you go ahead." She says.

"I want you to know that the waitress that tripped you and said that shit to you, she has been fired and as far as your job goes....you still have it. If you want it." I assure her.

She looks at me surprised and yet grateful and appreciative as I see a smile start to form upon her face.

"Thank you. I really am sorry and I do plan to pay you for a new suit." She says.

I chuckle a little bit. "That won't be necessary. I pay my employees but not that good. Besides, I can always buy another one." I assure her with a smile.

Though why am I not angry and yelling at her as I normally would be doing with anyone else who did that? What the hell is happening?

"Well, thank you and thanks for letting me keep the job." She tells me.

"Don't mention it." I tell her.

We then share another brief awkward moment of silence.

"Well I'm gonna get some sleep so..." She says.

"Yeah. Of course. Goodnight." I tell her.

"Goodnight." She says as I walk out and quietly close the door behind me.

While in the shower, I think about Faye more and how innocent and sweet she is. I also begin thinking about how beautiful she is and that first day I met her and how sexy she looked dripping wet in the towel and how badly I wanted to tear it off of her and reveal what was underneath.

I can't think like that though, for many reasons.

For one, I shouldn't cause she is way too good for me and I could never do anything to hurt her, then secondly and most importantly at the moment, I am so fucking hard. She makes me feel a way I have never felt before and she makes me really hard on top of that? Man, am I in trouble. No girl has ever made me want them as badly as I want her and not just in a sexual way neither.

I can't though. I can't want her. I can't think about wanting her even. Shit, now I need to turn the water to cold.

After taking a shower and laying in bed, I start thinking about her and being with her.

My god I'm gonna drive myself crazy the more that I think about this and how she makes me feel.

I'm just gonna go to bed and find a way to stop thinking about her, before I get in too deep.......If I haven't already.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
