Opposite's Attract with the Millionaire

We meet again...

Winter's P.O.V

It had been a couple of weeks since I lost my job and have not had any luck finding another one which was just my luck but tonight I was helping a friend out, being a server at some fancy party she was catering at...the kind of place I do not fit into...can not being doing with snotty nosed rich people who think they are better than everyone else. The way I see it is we all came into this shitty world the same way and we all will go out it the same no matter how social Hierarchy and class differ so they can shove there judgement up their asses for all I care.

I was getting paid 150 for one night, that would help me out a little and I will ignore all the snobs and spoilt brats that will be there tonight. It was a simple black trousers, white shirt and black tie uniform for tonight which luckily I owed cause could not afford to buy it if I never. Two rule though...hair had to be tied back and only light make up was allowed which to be honest was s**t cause I never wore my hair tied back...the make up part does not bother me as much cause only wear a little or none anyway.

 I gave myself the once over before heading to my car, putting the address Dinah had sent me. I put my radio on quietly humming along to the music. My thoughts soon drifted though...drifted the same way they have from time to time these last couple of weeks. The blue eyed stranger that saved me from that creep keeps appearing in my head...his damn piercing blue eyes and that smile of his. I had even dreamt about him once or twice and quite frankly it was starting to piss me off especially when I remember his smile. It was very pathetic of me that I could not stop thinking of him. I do not even know his name and we spoke for what two minutes? What is all that about? I pushed him to the back of my head, concentrating on the road in front of me. I drove for about forty-five minutes until I reached my destination. I was pissed at myself cause I know he said his name at some point but I cannot remember what he said cause my mind was all over the place that night.

“Holy Fuck.” I gasped to myself seeing the large, beautiful mansion in front of me. I had never seen a place like it.

There was a beautiful pond out front...variety of species and colours of flowers and plants...lights all around...it really was the most stunning house I have ever seen. I took a few deep breaths before climbing out of my car, heading to find the backdoor...that is where I was to go. I looked around, trying to find someone who can help me

“Good evening mam can I help you?” I heard a stern voice behind me

“Yes I am working the event tonight.” I smiled at the large security guard standing in front of me

“Just around that first corner there.” He smiled

“Thank You.” I smiled heading off

I finally found where I was going...the kitchen in chaos as everyone ran around trying to make sure everything was perfect.  

“Dinah what can I do?” I asked she her running around stressing

“Can you make a start on desserts please cause know how much of a desert queen you are?” she giggled “everything is out that you need.” She added

I soon got too work two other people helping me cause we had over hundred to get done and only two hours to do them. I don’t know how Dinah can do this as her job...running your own business would drive me crazy.

**********

It was 8pm and the event started an hour ago and we have all been run off our feet. Thankfully most people here were being decent...thanks you and pleases getting shared.

“Winter can you see to the Crawford family please? They are the ones holding the event.” Dinah smiled “go see if they need drinks or want some more food. And there is no need to be nervous...they are all lovely.” She added

“Sure thing boss.” I giggled

Dinah pointed me in the right direction. I put a smile on my face, making my way through the crowd of people to get to them but just as I was drawing close to them felt someone tap my shoulder. Probably someone needing something.

“How can I help...oh my it’s you.” I gushed surprised

“And we meet again.” He smiled...the smile and blue eyes in front of me that have been playing on my mind...sneaking into my dreams. He was looking very handsome in his suit.

“I...I...what you doing here?” I stuttered

“It is my family's event....let me introduce myself properly....I am Carlos Crawford and your name is what beautiful?” he said flashing a smile at me and I swear I felt my legs go a little weak, felt my face heat up at his words

“I...I...am Winter.” I managed to stutter out

Why is this man turning me into a stuttering, flushed mess?

“Well Miss Winter it is good to officially meet you.” He chuckled putting his hand out for me to shake

I reached for it and as soon as my hand touched his a shiver shot down my spine and I swear I felt him shiver too

“You too.” I smiled

He never let my hand go instead his grip tightened on my hand...his blue eyes looking into mine...I swear he was searching my soul. I swallowed hard as I felt my heart beginning to race in my chest. I have never had anyone make me feel the way he is right now....I had butterflies for crying out loud. A silence fell between us as we sort of got lost in each other. I decided that was enough of that, pulling my hand away

“I need to get back work ...sorry.” I said

“Ok.” He said a sadness to his eyes when he did “hopefully see you again?” he asked hopefully

“Nice meeting you.” I said walking away, letting a breath out that I was holding in when I was under his stare.

I pulled myself together, heading over to Carlos’s family

“Hello, can I get any of you anything?” I smiled

“No thank you sweetie. We are all alright at the moment thank you.” A pretty looking woman in her 50's smiled at me.

“Ok. Well let me know if any of you do.” I smiled, turning away from them

When I turned around I was blocked with a hard chest. I looked up, seeing Carlos there looking at me, making me swallow hard again.

“Could I get another Scotch please Miss Winter?” He smiled  

“Coming right up Sir. How do you take it?” I smiled back

“Neat please.” He replied

I nodded and he stepped aside and I headed off getting him another drink. I could feel his eyes watching me as I did. I looked over my shoulder and right enough he was watching after me...a small smile playing on his lips. I felt my face flush again before I turned away.

“Winter you Ok? You look a little flustered?” Dinah asked

“I am fine. Need to get Carlos Crawford a drink.” I smiled

“Ha that is why you look like that that...Carlos ...he has the effect on people when they first meet him.” She giggled

“That is the 2nd time we have met.” I said quietly

“It was?” she asked confused

“He was the one that I told you about that punched that creep.” I said

“Oh My God he is the one that will not get out of your head?” she giggled

“Yes...now shut up.” I laughed blushing

“You better get Carlos his drink then.” She smirked, winking at me

I flipped her off, laughing before getting his drink sorted, heading back to him. He smiled widely when he seen me coming. What is with this very handsome, sexy man smiling at me all the time?

“You drink Sir.” I smiled, handing it too him as I did he placed something in my hand

“Thank You Miss Winter.” He winked, making me blush once again

“You are welcome. Enjoy the rest of your night Sir.” I smiled, giving him a small nod, walking away.

Once I was out of site I checked what he has passed me. It was his business card with a message on the back

Give me a text or call sometime beautiful C.C x

I stared at it for a moment before shaking my head and putting it in my back pocket. I was not sure what to do with it. I tried concentrating on my work but I was struggling cause he had distracted me. I decided I was not  gonna use his number cause it would be better that way...more for him rather than me. He and I live two very different lives...in two very different worlds.
