Pleasure Before Business

Chapter 1 – Waiters in Disguise

"Final papers for you to sign Mr. Maxwell," the well-dressed secretary set the folder before the man in the pristine suit behind the huge desk. "Thanks Tracey," he said not looking up from his current work. She left the room as quietly as she had entered, knowing better then to interrupt when boss man was busy. Finishing up his files he swiveled in his chair, surveying the city skyline, it was a phenomenal view. But that was to be expected this was after all, prime location in the city.

He was Duo Maxwell, head and CEO of Techron Industries. He'd built this company from the ground up. A high school drop out with a genius IQ he created an empire through late night work in a garage and part time job in construction. He'd come a long way through sheer grit and determination. An imposing figure standing six five, and thickly muscled he looked more like a professional boxer then a titan of industry. Removing his suit jacket he slug it over the back of his chair. Thick arms pulling the fabric of his blue dress shirt tight.

The phone rang then drawing him back to his desk and away form the spectacular view of the city. Hitting the speaker phone, he grunted out, "Maxwell," the voice on the other end was a familiar one. "You say the sweetest things," sighing Duo sat down it was Quatre Winner head of the Winner corporation a once business rival but now turned begrudging friend. A man in Duo's position did not get where he was by making a lot of friends. "What do you want Winner?"

"You coming out for dinner tonight?"

"Why so you can introduce me to someone else?"

"Maybe, why?" Duo groaned burring his head in his hands, "What makes you think I need someone?"

"Dude you're alone all the time, not healthy. I want you to be happy, like me." Duo shook his head settling back in his chair. Here was the crux of it Quatre had found the love of his life recently and had no decided his friend needed to be part of his happiness as well. "I will come but no match making ok?" Laughing the other man promised, "Sure see you tonight seven at the Château on Elgin."

"Ok see you then," sighing he hung up the phone it was four now he could work another two and half hours.

"Please, please, please!" Heero looked at the pleading grey eyes that would not leave him alone. "I've never served before…" he mumbled not looking at the hopeful face of his friend. Devon wanted to go out with his girlfriend tonight, and he needed Heero to fill for him in the dining room. They both worked at the Château Elgin, Heero in the pool as one of his part time jobs while he was working on his Masters. "It's way easier then Lifeguarding, besides all you have to do is take the orders, smile, and take the empty plates back to the kitchen, please Heero?" He made the mistake of looking at that pouting face.

Several hours later found him dressed in the black and white monkey outfit all the servers wore, complete with little black apron and bill fold. Mark the dining room manager, had given him a crash course thanking him for filling in, they where terribly short handed tonight.

The dining room opened at five and it was now about seven and he was getting into the grove, he moved to a new table with a blonde man and a larger darker haired man seated on one side and a lovely blonde women on the other. He moved quietly filling water glasses, setting the jug on the table. "Can I get you some drinks this evening?" He said quietly, he wasn't really cut out for this line of work he worked at the pool here as a lifeguard and at the coffee shop, he tried to avoid talking to people as much as possible. "Uh yeah," the blonde man smiled widely at him, "I'll get a Canadian, Trowa?" The auburn haired man looked up from the menu, "Same please," he blonde looked at the women, "Hmmm…champagne I think Dom Per?" Nodding Heero swallowed that was a seriously pricey bottle of booze he moved off from the table putting the order into the bar.

"Really Relena?" Quatre looked at the air head across from him, Relena was as beautiful as she was vapid. Shrugging she flipped perfectly quaffed hair, "I only drink champagne," Trowa rolled his eyes at his lover sending him a look that said 'your actually trying to hook Duo up with this?' Quatre was beginning to regret his own judgment as well.

Speaking of which, "Good evening," came the smooth deep voice, the occupants turned to the new figure sliding into the seat beside the women, "Duo, nice to see you this is Miss Relena Peacecraft daughter of an acquaintance of mine." Nodding to the women she began to gush, "Wow, so nice to meet you! My father speaks of you often." It took Duo two minutes to figure her out, she was an spoiled primadonna who had never worked a day in her life, trolling for some rich husband to take care of her. He threw Quatre a look that would have cowed a lesser man.

Their drinks arrived several minutes later, Heero concentrating on not spilling set them down on the table happy he had made it. Once completed he got out his notepad, "Are you ready to order?" Duo who'd been glancing at the menu, made his decision right away, he looked back to the waiter standing by the table feeling a small jolt. He was a looker Duo noticed right away, and he wasn't sure why that thought came into his head. He was tall, not quiet as tall as Duo but he wasn't what you call small he was thick too well muscled if the tightness of the white dress shirt was any indication. His shaggy brown hair was pulled back from his face held in place by a barrette, a pink Hello Kitty one as a matter of fact.

The occupants starting with Relena ordered, she barely looked at the waiter ordering the lobster, the most expensive thing on the menu. Duo looked at her before back to the waiter, he was very studiously writing down what they all wanted. Duo ordered last, "I'll have the steak please, medium, with baked potato." Nodding Heero finally registered the new face at the table with a sheepish smile, "Anything to drink?" he asked softly, nodding Duo requested a Keith's. Finished he gathered the menus and headed back to the kitchen to put in the order. Duo watched him until he left, a faint blush crossing his cheeks. Unsettled by the way the young man had effected him. Turning instead to try and listen to the incessant ramble of his so called date.

Heero thought he was doing all right, he was also thinking of picking up more dining room shifts he had made couple hundred in tips already. It was an upscale place at least, it was coming up on nine and the table of four, the big spenders as he was calling them had moved onto dessert and glasses of red wine. He was loading the glasses on his tray when Harry the bartender stopped him, "That's going to be a hell of a tip," he said, shrugging Heero headed back carefully setting the glasses in front of the blonde and brunette before moving to the women and the long haired man.

Just as he was finishing Relena ignoring his presence, as she had the whole night casually flipped her hand back sending the glass of blood red wine skittering across the table and into her lap, as well as splashing onto the long haired mans expensive suit.

She shrieked out jumping to her feet, "I'm so sorry," Heero whispered, taking out the cloth that he carried and mopping up the mess. "You clumsy ass, I'm going have you fired! This dress is worth more then you make in a year!" Heero still mopping continued to apologize as the blonde now drawing the attention of the dinning room continued to rant. Mark ran over to help, trying to calm the women down.

Amidst the chaos, the yelling, and the apologies a deep voice settled them all, "Enough," he said calm, mildly but Heero felt implicitly that he had to follow it he stood nervous the man was standing now an imposing figure, with a frown in place. "It was an accident, I apologize for creating a scene." He said ending the issue there and then, with a huff Relena stormed out saying she was refusing to pay for such poor service. Duo turned then to Heero still mopping up the mess, his own white dress shirt now red with the wine. "Service tonight was excellent, it was an accident." He said to Mark who nodded gratified.

He handed Heero his black Amex, the one with no limit. "Here, please put 15% on for yourself," Heero felt his jaw drop nodding mutely he hurried off to run the card through. Satisfied Duo turned to his two other dinner partners. "Quatre," he said wearily, "No more hooking me up yeah?" Laughing he stood with Trowa, "Sorry," he said as they got ready to leave.
