Caught In The Middle

Meeting Marcus

Marcus’ POV

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was flooded by females who wanted to be by my side for the day and possibly for the evening. I was used to it by now, it was like a way of life for me.

I guess you could call me arrogant but what could I do, I was born like this and with all this, and by all this I don’t only mean the money I mean the looks too. The restaurant was set up right to my standard and expectation, Phil knew me well and he knew if I didn’t like it, I would cause a very ugly and bloody scene. I wanted the waitresses to look right too, I wasn’t going to be served by some ugly waitress, she had to be pretty sexy and beautiful, so that I could play with her as I pleased. Don’t hate me for it, these hoes enjoyed it and they literally begged me to treat them like that. They had no self respect whatsoever.

So far I was pleased with what I saw, the girls were dressed just right, miniskirts and stilettos. In all truth this wasn’t only a party for celebrating my success as the most ruthless and feared Mafia to ever have lived, or that I had accomplished all that at my young age, this was window shopping for my new stock. I was in all sorts of businesses including human trafficking, so I had strong handed Philip into letting me throw these types of parties so that I could hand pick my own stock while having fun.

As I entered my VIP booth, I was very impressed by the set up. Everything was set up in black and gold and with enough airflow. So far there were just three waitresses in the booth and all three were smiling from ear to ear as if waiting to be picked for some big task by their master. I didn’t even bother to acknowledge them and took my seat with Piet my second in command and cousin sitting opposite me.

“So what do you think so far?” he asked eyeing all three girls and i nodded

“They are good looking they will all do, but aren’t they supposed to be four, where is the forth one?”I asked impatiently

“They just sent for her, am sure she is on her way just relax we are here to have fun remember” he said and I nodded and sat back as I watched the three waitresses scrabble to take our orders for drinks. I pulled one and sat her on my lap and she sat without any protest, as if she would ever dare. No one ever refused me of even protested against my advances. I always got what I wanted.

Just then, the most beautiful girl walked in and I pushed the girl on my lap right off and she fell hard to the floor.

She had blonde hair that was shoulder length, her eyes were forest green but she immediately dropped her head as i tried to stare deeper into them, her body was curvy under the pleated skirt she had on and her legs went on for days. She had minimal makeup on and she didn’t need it because she was a natural beauty. I had to fight hard to resist the urge to run over to her and hide her, keeping her for my eyes only.

“Boss is you ok?” Piet asked and destructed me from my thoughts

“Yeah am ok, I need a drink. Get me a double brandy” I  said to one of the waitresses and she ran off.

SABINA’S POV

Marcus Pressley.

He was the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life and made me feel things that I was sure were illegal for someone my age. As I stumbled into the VIP booth i had expected to see a big scary ugly ogre but instead I was met by the most handsome man who resembled an angel. He had the most beautiful eyes that looked like they were a mixture of green and ocean blue I couldn’t quite name the colour they were. His muscular body looked ready to escape the clothes he was wearing. His thighs muscular under the black formal pants although I couldn’t get a good enough look at him I did notice how handsome he was and sexy too.

Oh God if my mother could see me now she would be ashamed, her innocent daughter lusting after the most evil man on earth, I quickly dropped my head at the thought of my mum.

Marcus kept his eyes on me as if studying my every move, not that I was doing anything. I was glued next to the door and couldn’t move an inch; I felt perfectly safe where I was. Why did Antonio pick me, why didn’t he pick Arianna she lived for this kind of danger I thought attempting to pull down my skirt which suddenly felt too short. I felt so out of place

Snap out of it... I thought to myself you wanted this job so don’t be a little p***y, so I decided to focus on why I needed to make this work. It took all I had to successfully summon my inner strength and confidence while Marcus seemed to keep his eyes on me not interested in anything that was said by anyone.

Because I was a runner, I couldn’t take orders (thank heavens) because that meant my movements were limited, the last thing I wanted was to be dropped on the ground the way Kim had been dropped when I walked in, I wondered what she had done.

Unfortunately for me they had ordered some food, and now they were done so it was time for me to clear the table. I approached the table with caution while Marcus kept his eyes on me and I felt my eyes get cloudy as tears threatened to spill and I blinked vigorously as if ushering a warning to my eyes, my skin suddenly felt hot and I was so sure I was going to pass out. When I leaned over and started clearing the table he reached for my hand and brushed it slightly, introducing me to foreign desires and making me secretly want more. I shivered in fear...

Not in fear of him but in fear of what he was making me feel, fear of what he was making me want...

I retracted my hand as fast as I could and almost dropped the whole tray but he helped me balance it and then at that moment I found myself lost deep in his eyes and for some reason I wanted to kiss him. I tried to look away but his gaze was so strong it kept me in the position he wanted me in.

“Be careful sweet thing...we don’t want you hurting yourself” he said in the sexiest most angelic voice I had ever heard, it was very melodic. Ever since I had laid my eyes on him he hadn’t directly spoken to me he had only been watching me as I stood still like a robot. I had heard his voice like a whisper but now that he was directly speaking to me it felt my knees turn to jelly and I almost melted, it was like he purposely altered his voice just to seduce me.

“Than...thank you...” I whispered and ran off, I couldn’t wait to just excuse myself and breathe.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Arianna asked me as I met her in the kitchen, she was on break

“I am working in the VIP booth” I whispered

“OMG you are serving Marcus’s booth, why wasn’t I that lucky” she said

“Lucky, you think am lucky?” I asked sarcastically eyes clouded with tears of fear, lust and strong desire

“Of course, what is he like?” she asked

“Scary, weird, handsome, hot, irresistible, tempting and making me think maybe getting a job was a bad idea” I said and her eyes widened

“You like him... oh my God Sabina” she exclaimed

“What...no way I don’t even know him” I denied it

“You are in the denial stage of love but I for one know this, love works in mysterious ways” she said as I approached Antonio, I wanted to ask him if I could swap with someone else. He denied me that luxury of course stating that Mr Pressler didn’t like disorder so I settled for going for lunch instead and thankfully he agreed.

I took my burger and went outside the restaurant to eat because I needed some fresh air too. I took my time eating because my lunch was 30 minutes long. I was tired and these heels were killing me, I took them off and pulled out my phone dialling my mother’s number.

Her voice was always a soothing and relaxing agent for me

“Hey mum” I said as soon as she picked up

“Hey honey how is work?” she asked

“It’s ok, tiring but ok” I said

“Ok that’s good am so proud of you and I want to hear all about it when you get back home” she said enthusiastically

“Ok mom, but I may be little late ok” I said

“Ok honey, you girls be careful on the road” she said and then hung up.

After that I put my phone back in my apron and prepared to go back inside and I bumped into Kim who looked extremely annoyed at me.
