Romancing The Waitress Chapter Thirty-one
Maddie had cool babysitters. No, scratch that, she had cool bodyguards.Bane, Anna, Marlowe and Ron were like four siblings. The banter, the teasing, the love and the obvious fact that they had one another's backs.The first day Anna and Ron showed up, they had been decked out in all blacks, complete to the sunglasses. She had taken one look at them and given a vehement no.Then Anna had asked her to unleash her inner child and see the fun in being followed by the live Men In Black. To which she had replied that all her childhood fantasies included castle and prince charming rather than heroes and villains exchanging bullets.Despite how weird it was to be followed around by two scary looking people, it has been fun, especially watching people's reaction when they notice her and her bodyguards. There was a certain way people interacted to her immediately they noticed that the menacing-looking men were with her and it was amusing to watch.That was the only time they dressed in such

Fear. Cold stark fear, that was all Drew could feel right there and then.He had always been able to take care of himself. Facing off an enemy had never been a problem for him.But having someone he loved get threatened? Especially when that threat was unseen and unpredictable? He hated it.And when he was the cause of such threat? Literally the pits.Suddenly unable to sit still, he jumped off the couch, his feet eating up the space between the couch and the door. Swiveling, he made the return journey and repeat until he was full out pacing."What do we know?" He asked Aiden."The delivery guy works for a flower shop located few feet away from where Maddie and the guys were seated." Aiden recounted. "Bane said that the guy claimed that a man wearing a hat and sunglasses walked into the shop and ordered a bouquet of chrysanthemums, handed him the envelope containing the threat and pointed Maddie out to him for delivery. Bane is checking out the authenticity of the story."His mind ra

Maddie woke up slowly. Her bones felt like liquid and it was all she could do not to go back to sleep right there and then.She turned on her side, her eyelids opening languidly, her eyes falling on a pair of baby blues."Hey." His voice was like warm honey.Memories of the last few hours flashed through her mind, flooding her with warmth. The way he was looking at her was not helping either."Slept well?"She tucked her hair shyly behind her ear. She bit her lip, curbing her smile. She couldn't believe how shy she was feeling. And of course, the dratted man knew what he was doing. "Probably the best sleep I've had."He cocked a brow. "Probably?"She cocked her brow back. "Mmm-hmm. What about you? Slept well?""I didn't sleep.""Why?""I got carried away with watching you sleep. I just couldn't bring myself to take my gaze away."She searched his eyes. "That is not all, is it?"He fiddled with a strand of her hair. "What do you mean?""Drew??" She didn't know why he thought playing d

Maddie walked in on Drew and Aiden having a kind of meeting at the breakfast nook. A meeting that was quite serious, judging by the frown on Drew's face.Drew's head turned just as she retraced her step, his gaze landing on her.He smiled. "Hey, babe." He stretched his hand to her in invitation.She ceased her escape and went to him. She slid her hand in his and allowed him to pull her in for a good morning kiss."Slept well?"She smiled. "Was there ever a doubt?"His eyes crinkled, deepening his smile.She turned to Aiden. "Hey, good morning, Aiden.""Morning, Maddie."Drew tugged her hand. "Join us.""Alright." She sat on the chair between them. "Wanna tell me what's going on?""Remember the mole we planted in the production and finance department?" When she nodded, he continued, "Aiden has an update on what is going on in the production department."Aiden took over. "Kendall, the lady we placed in production, somehow has been unable to get to the mixing station.""What do you mean

Aiden must have thought they were joking about the blind date thingy.Actually, at first Maddie had been joking. But then she thought about the pros - only pros, no cons, not when it was Aiden in the picture - and she realized that it was worth pursuing. While Aiden was not going to fall in love on the first date and suddenly decide to dive into the dating waters, it was still a dip of his toe in said waters. According to Drew, all of Aiden's first dates were always events; functions and dinners.Never private. Never intimate. It was like he went the extra mile to ensure that there was no assumptions or expectations either on the lady’s side or on the side of the press. She knew what it felt like to hope fcor something so bad, only for it to be taken away from you. And when that happened, it hurt like dickens to ever try to hope again. She heard somewhere that hope deferred made the heart sick. What the author forgot to add was that sometimes the heart never recovered. Of course,
Romancing The Waitress Chapter Thirty-six
The first day Drew publicly embarrassed Kendall was a day that should be recorded in the book of the company's history. More because of his employees' reaction than anything else.That morning when he arrived at the office, he greeted nobody, just headed straight to his office. Subtly alerting the employees that the boss was in a foul mood.Five minutes after arrival, he had stormed out of his office, clutching some papers — the papers had been Aiden's idea. His friend claimed that it added to the dramatic effect.So there he marched, clutching some papers and barged into the production room. The people there were startled. Some greeted him, but he ignored them."Kendra!" He bellowed. Kendall moved towards him, her head tipped up in a sign of haughty defiance. "The name is Kendall, not Kendra.""I just might be inclined to remember it if you had submitted a report that isn't riddled with errors. It makes me wonder if you can even spell your name correctly.""What do you mean by error

"So what's the occasion?" Aiden asked, checking himself out on the car's window.Aiden was an oxymoron. He dressed like he didn't care about how he looked — no, that was not exactly it. It was more of a 'he couldn't be bothered with fashion, clothes were just things to cover one's body' situation. And yet, the guy could hardly pass by a mirror or glass without checking himself out.When Drew asked him to join them for dinner and told him to dress casually, she didn't expect him to show up dressed in black ripped jeans and black tee under black bomber jacket.All that was left were leather gloves and a Harley. He already had the tats and haircut."Things are a little tense in the office." Drew said. "I need this reprieve with my two favorite people.""Well," Aiden slipped his hands into his jacket's pockets. "What were you expecting? When the boss keeps detonating at the slightest provocation, you can't expect the employees to be dancing kumbaya.""I think the right expression is sing

Aiden is mad at me, Madeline.” Drew’s voice blared through her phone’s speaker, echoing in the kitchen.She chuckled. She turned her head from the frying pan towards her phone. “Well, what were you expecting? We both knew that there was no way Aiden would take it nicely, but it was a risk we were willing to take.”“It was not really that bad, was it?”She cringed. “It wasn’t. If one liked a barbie talkative. Which obviously Aiden doesn’t.” Eleanor didn’t stop talking throughout the dinner. Perhaps it would not have been so bad if she had not been so intent on knowing everything, being in on every inside joke, and digging deep into the soils of their histories. For Aiden, who was really a private person, that had been a big strike against her.“How was I supposed to know that Bammy’s sister’s cousin was going to turn out that way?”“From the way the family tree sounds? How can she be Bammy’s sister’s cousin but not be his cousin?”“I told you the other time you asked. Lillian is Bammy’
