I then feel a soft wet kiss on my shoulder and then moan at the feeling of his kiss on my flesh. I hear him whisper in my hear, "your skin is so tender, I could just eat you".
Another problem is, I actually liked it no.... actually loved it. I will never admit it to anyone but his kiss made me want more and had me craving for those lips again. The way he pushed me against the wall leaving me bruises on my waist showing how hard he grabbed me and the way his lips passionately went in utter sync with mine as if they had meet before in another world.
I'm so angry he has made me feel this way, I made myself a promise which was to not fall for someone especially not a 25 year old bad boy millionaire like him. Yes he does have a little niece that he loves and adores but that doesn't make up for the way I've heard how he treats other girls. He makes me sick to my stomach but weak to my knees which is not a good since I'd rather stay away from feeling like that.
But my main concern is Daisy, she has kinda grew on me and I think I've grown on her too just within a couple of hours. But for right now since my last semester of my second year at the university is over I guess it will be okay spending one more month out of the winter being with Daisy. Problem is how am I able to take the office job with Mr. Styles after the break is over, should I take it or leave it?
It's been a week of babysitting Daisy and in all honesty, I like the little girl, she reminds me of my niece. One night me and Daisy were asleep on the couch after finishing our paintings and movie. I sensed a sensation or cold air at midnight with a blanket over me, I realized it was Harry. He's been kind of avoiding me, working late nights, having his sister get Daisy, leaving the money on the table etc.. . I catch myself in thought and begin to get ready for my other job.I'm catering a party near the beach that happens to be in the same place Desi mentioned to me a few days ago. She works with me at the restaurant but today she has the day off because she got invited to this party in the pent house upstairs. Her current boyfriend Freddy has a rich father that knows many wealthy people along with celebrities which is why she was going in the first place.
I prepare for my job getting ready in the bathroom in the main lobby of the hotel making sure I look okay. I put up my long hair in a ponytail and put on a little bit of mascara so I can look more presentable for work. Once I'm done I go straight to the dining hall to start preparing the tables, napkins and silverware.
After I finish I head to the kitchen to prepare the food that will be served. Mmmmm it smells delicious lucky thing about working in the catering business is that you can eat the rest of the food after the guest finished theirs. There's not many servers working today and it looks like there will be about a few hundred people that are coming. Lucky me.
The down side to this job is that we always cater to rich snobby men and women who think they are better then us caterers because they have money. A lot of the time it's the men that I have a problem with because they are just so disrespectful like asking me to go back to their place or try to reach and grab my ass. Luckily I have been quick enough to not let them reach their filthy hands on me.
The guest are starting to arrive and some of them seem slightly familiar looking for some reason. I by pass it and see Desi looking as stunning as always in a fancy teal dress, one of the dresses her mother designed I guessed. She sees me and excuses herself from the table to talk to me.
"Hey girly, what do you think?" She said.
"It's gorgeous let me guess, your mom?" I said knowing it was an obvious yes.
"Yes Miss Smarty Pants, she let me have it. But the reason I came here was for the party after in the penthouse." She said as though she was whispering a secret.
"Oh right the party." Sounding as if I had sarcasm in my voice.
"Laney come on it will be in room 68B, get your freak on for once. Plus none of these old guys are going it's just gonna be the younger sexy business men." Desi said bumping my hips with hers almost making me drop the platter.
"I have work till 9:30. And you know it's not my thing. I also have to clear out the auction once it's over"
"It starts 9. Well you know where I'll be at. I really hope you can make it though." She said as she hugs me and goes back to sit with her boyfriend and the business men.
I go back to work serving the food to every single person in the room running back and forth from the kitchen to the dinning hall. As I go to table 14 I see a familiar face feeling as if my heart has stopped and feel my cheeks turn pink, it's Mr. Styles. He is talking to the handsome dark haired man next to him. Maybe he won't notice me. Maybe I can just put his plate on the table without him seeing me there.
"Adaline?" He exclaimed with surprise hinted in his voice.
"Oh hey" I said speechless not knowing what else to say. All I can think about was that kiss he left me before he went MIA on me.
"You know the server?" The man with dark hair said to him while obviously checking me out.
"Uh actually I kinda know her, not well though she's the help. Isn't that right?" He said staring at me as if to tell me to go along with the lie.
What the hell is wrong with him he can't even say I'm his nieces babysitter or his new intern. He called me the help. Now that I think of it, where the hell is his niece he should be with her right now as we speak. I couldn't bring myself to out him so I went along with it.
"Yeah. What was your name again? Sorry I'm new remember?" I said acting stupid as if I didn't know his name smirking in my head.
"His name is Harry, mine is Tom." Tom said shaking my hand. "What is a beautiful girl like you doing serving tables. You should be in films." Tom said winking trying to come out flirtatious but sounding douchey instead.
"Maybe she should start doing her job as a server and serve the food before it gets cold." Harry says with his serious green eyes staring right through me.
All the men at the table are laughing at his comment and once I finish serving the rest of them I leave the dining hall walking at a normal pace but humiliated by him. I don't know why this affects me so much if it were someone else I would just blow it off with a smile but not this time. I decided to go on my 25 minute lunch break and try to relax even though I'm tempted to say the truth to my new boss's employees. But I finally convince myself not because I know it's wrong.
The bartender asked me to take his shift because of a family emergency so I accepted since it was better than being near that table. Desi came up to me and saw something wrong.
"Hey chicka you okay you look down. I'm about to leave if you want to come with?" She said hoping I'd say yes.
"Actually I decided I am going. Once I'm done with my shift." I said to Desi. I look out to the people at the tables and see Harry stare right at me and Desi.
"Oh really? Yeah finally I'm going to get you wast.. Wait what are you looking at?" She turns around to see Harry come closer to us.
"Hello ladies. A martini please?" Harry said to me. Okay that's one of the few drinks I know how to make. I looked at him and nodded.

"And who is your friend, Adaline?" He said with a smirk. Right after I saw the smirk I rolled my eyes at his cheekiness.
"This is my Roommate, Desi,Desi this is my new boss, Mr. Styles." I said hoping she won't invite him to the party that will be going on. The moment he began talking to us I knew she had something up her sleeve. I haven't told her about the kiss or the fact Harry embarrassed me just 40 minutes ago. Please Desi don't do this, not tonight.
"Ahhh,Your the famous Mr. Styles Adaline has told me about" she said looking at me suspiciously.
"Adaline you have been talking about me, let's just hope it is good things." He said as I hand him his drink just wishing that he'd just go away.
"Yes your lucky to have her. She works very very hard" she smiles grabbing a napkin and pen checking if it works.
"Excuse me, love can I get a drink." It was Harry's friend from the table. I got chills trying not to show it as I walked over to him to get his order.
"Hey, can I get a beer and your number?" He said. I get his order ignoring his last comment. As I turn around to get his drink I see Desi handing Harry the napkin she was writing on the moment I stepped away. I became confused as to why she gave him the paper. was it to give him her number or maybe he just asked for a napkin? either way it's none of my business anyway.
Desi walked away which left Harry and his friend at the bar. His friend comes over to Harry side and sits next to him as I hand him the beer still being grossed out by his comment.
"Here your corona with lime." I said in a mono tone voice and a smile for service.
"Thanks babe, how about I take you out after this?" He said as his dark eyes look down at my body.
"Actually Tom she's not available. I need to talk to her about catering Daisy's party."
"Okay well here's my number. Im about to leave I will see you very soon" Tom nudges Harry and then hands me a business card and whispers, "call me".
Tom left and I felt like throwing up especially when Harry could hear everything he said. The moment he stepped out it was just me and Harry alone together in one room. Harry stares at his glass then at me trying to figure out what to say.
"Adaline before you say anything I would just like to apologize for a lot that has happened between us from since we met. I know you have many questions." He said sincerely saying what I wanted him to say since Thursday night. Though I know he means it I can't bring myself to tell him how I really felt about the kiss, Tom, Desi, and tonight.
"I don't" I said looking up at those eyes of his.
"Wait you sure...no question?" He said looking surprised.
"You don't need explanations at least not now. It happened. Now excuse me but my shift is over. I'll let you know my schedule for next week." He looks shocked but as he was about to speak, the lady from the auction came in.
"Adaline, correct?" She says in a hurried tone.
She completely threw me and Harry off guard. We both look at each other confused before I answer.
"Yes. That's me?" I said confused.
"Perfect. Come with me. Trust me you won't be needing that smock for the rest of the night" She chuckles as she throws it on the bar stool next to Harry, motioning me to follow.
As I follow I turn to see Harry once more before I leave, but he was already gone.
