Hello everyone! SO I FINISHED MY FIRST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE. I'm so happy! I finally get chance to rest (and write). I am writing more but you guys have been so supportive, so here's a little something to tide you over. Happy Holidays!
"Well cher, I was rather hoping you could." He said in his silky accent. He smiled at him.
Blood rushed to Matthew's cheeks. This was bad. He had forgotten how much that smile affected him. The smile, his sent, his hands on his body, fingers gently caressing his face, another on his hip.
"Cher? CHER? Are you alright?" the man's face was close, concerned. Matthew jumped back.
Oh god. He just touched him. He touched Matthew. He wondered how long his brain could survive the lack of blood, since it was nowhere near his head now.
"Ah! I-I'm, um, fine uh, sir-"
"Francis." the man smirked, "My name is Francis. What is yours?" Good grief, Francis's voice was pure sensuality. "Cher are you sure you are well?" his face turned concerned again.
"YES!" Matthew squeaked out "I'm fine, good, A-Okay!" 'A-Okay'? he thought, Smooth Mathew. Smooth. "But uh, as you can see we are closing now and um, the cook went home so-"
"Oh that's fine, I just wanted some coffee, if it's not too much trouble."
Matthew has a choice. He could lie, tell him they can't serve him and Francis would leave or he could tell the truth and get the man his coffee. And then probably ask Francis if he wanted Matthew along with crème and sugar. He should definitely lie.
"Well-"
"Of course it's not too much trouble good sir!" The owner boomed as he walked in. Crap. Matthew forgot that he was still working in the back. How can a man that old hear so well? "Matthew, serve the gentleman, you know our policy."
"Policy?" Francis asked, quirking his head to the side and raising his eyebrows. His gaze turned to the owner and Matthew felt himself exhale.
"Yes sir! We serve every customer that comes in until six, and we wait until you are through!" he pulled his wrinkled lips over his teeth. "The cook is gone, but if it's something simple Matthew here would love to serve you!"
"Oh, how lovely! You know sir more restaurants should be like this." He turned to Matthew, smiled again. "Such alluring service." He flicked back to the old eyes of the owner. "The policy I mean."
"Well thank you good sir! So many young people don't appreciate my ideas, but you seem to understand. I would love to stay and chat, but unfortunately I have an appointment to get to. Matthew can you close up please, after he's done of course?"
"Yes sir." He mumbled.
"Good. See you tomorrow. Good day sir!" And with that he turned and walked towards the back, no doubt going to leave from the back entrance, leaving the pair alone. Francis waved and turned his attention back to Matthew.
Matthew took a deep breath. He could do this. "So how do you want your coffee?"
Well thats all for now! What did you think? Please review it makes me so happy!
