Sauce Or Suave ✓

Chapter 1

I woke up this morning, all fresh and excited for the first day of my new internship. I am finally going to work at the Michelin Star Restaurant," Heaven". My Best friend Cora had been working there for few years while I was in Culinary School. I take a quick shower and put on a pair of jeans and an off shoulder floral print crop top with ruffles. I was hell bent on making an excellent first impression. I had ironed the apron the day before and packed it into my bag, its 8;30. I call out to Cora and I leave the apartment with her.
As I enter the restaurant, anxiety shoots up in my body, Cora holds my hand and tells me "Layla, stop overthinking I know you are going to do well here, take a deep breath and let's begin!'' I look towards the manager's desk the owner and the head chef, Lucas stood there waiting for me and the other intern. The other intern was Tabita my nemesis in Culinary School she was a rich brat who enjoyed bullying others.

I look at Lucas, and introduce myself, his piercing grey eyes loomed over my body, there was this special energy between us. I couldn't help but blush, he then went ahead to show me around the restaurant and explained what I have to do over the course of my internship.

While we were in the kitchen one of the coworkers spilled all the gravy over me. I let out a scream and stomped my foot in anger, Lucas tries to hold in a chuckle and then says in a soft voice," Come with me to the office and you can clean up there"

[ WARNING: - Mature content ahead.]

His eyes slowly move towards my breast and he can see the black lace bra I am wearing, I cough trying to distract him, he immediately looks up. He then places his hand on my lower back and walks me up to his office.

His office is set up in a very seductive way, he has a leather couch on one of the sides I can't help but fantasize about this man, suddenly a voice disrupts me," Here use this to clean up". Lucas hands me a handkerchief and watches my every move closely. I seductively take my top off and use the handkerchief to wipe the sauce off my neck and collarbone but I can't reach my back, I look at him with soft eyes and he walks towards me in a way which makes my knees week. He takes the piece of cloth from my hand and pulls me close; his eyes look deep into mine and he slowly and lustfully touches my back and wipes out the gravy, soon his eyes search my upper body to check if there is more to clean.

He sees there is still some left near my collarbones and he uses the opportunity to touch my breast ... he slowly cleans the gravy off at first, his fingers move down and as it reaches my nipple but he backs off. I look at him confused and he whispers, "I can't control myself around you and you are just my intern I can't..." His gaze shifts from me to the window and he looks away. I quickly change into the t-shirt which lays on the couch. I walk down to the kitchen and I can't help but wonder about what exactly went down.
The evening shift begins, there is a lot of chaos in the kitchen. The ground floor is full with families, the second floor is filled with couples and the terrace with celebrities. I and Tabita were helping to serve too. We hadn't spoken a word about everything till now. The entrance of the restaurant was filled with paparazzi and I couldn't help but wonder who was there in the restaurant with us?

I bring wine and a lovely recreation of one of the traditional Italian dishes to the glamorous couple at the edge of the terrace. While serving them my eyes couldn't help but search for resemblance in their faces, I couldn't help but drop my jaws because in front of me was the playboy Eden Parker with yet another dazzling actress.

Eden is independent and invests and believes in what he sees. He is seen with different woman and is believed to never be "stuck on one". He is one of the hottest faces around in Business and to many people it comes as a shock but Eden has never participated in Hollywood, except for impromptu photoshoots for Forbes or any other top magazine.

My eyes meet with his while serving and we both feel this blazing heat towards us. I try my best to not look at him again as he is a customer and wouldn't pay attention to someone like me. His eyes search for mine to look at during the course of me serving them with further dishes, I refused to give in.

The Clock struck 2 in the morning; Lucas had called for a staff meeting after the customers leave. While leaving Eden's date seems to have left in hurry while Eden stays for another glass of wine. I rush towards the table and clean it, I feel his dominating eyes towards me, I can not help but look at him. He throws a sheepish grin at me and I smile politely. I walk him towards the exit as he is the last customer. He suddenly pushes me towards the wall and speaks passionately in my ear," What is it about you? I want you. I want you now!". My heart skips a beat was I dreaming? Before I speak a word, we hear someone's footsteps and quickly return to a more presentable and appropriate form, I thank him and leave to attend the meeting. My first day was over. It was surprising and I couldn't help but revisit whatever happened before going to sleep, what more was to come?
