Cheng's POV

Finally, we are done for the day and just serviced the last plate. I walked to the front of the restaurant greeting some of the customers asking them for feedback on how they liked the dishes we served to them asking if they enjoyed themselves and as usual they were all happy. I returned to the kitchen and saw that Lina was still enjoying her cocktail and on the third glass. She looked kinda tipsy so i was praying that she was one of the people who are care free and always honest during such situations. I waited for the kitchen staff to go to their lockers when i approached her making sure to stand between her legs.

"Hi", i said looking in eyes with a smile. "Hi there", she replied blushing. "Am sorry i was kinda busy tonight it was abit hectic so i had to help out", i explained. "It's ok, i kinda noticed when we walked in", she replied and bit her lower lip. The act made me swallow hard, she notices and released her lip quickly making me smirk. I was leaning in to get a kiss from her when someone walked in the room. It was the waitress who was serving her the cocktail. "Excuse me i just need the glass", she said in a rush, grabbing the cocktail glass and walking out quickly. When i heard the door being closed i pulled back grabbing her hand. We went to my office where i changed and grabbed the keys. On the way out i called the Executive chef telling her we were leaving. I could have sworn i saw jealousy in her eyes when i introduced Lina to her but i decided to ignore her. I was used to such reaction from women, some even did it to my sisters, it was ridiculous.

"She seemed friendly", Lina said as we reached the car. "Am sorry about that", "It's ok, comes with the territory i guess", she said looking at her toes. I lifted her chin with my index finger to meet her eyes. "Cupcake, you are the only one that i care about. I want you to ignore everything else and focus on us ok? Just you and me, can you do that for me?", i asked earning a smile. "Just you and me", she repeated my words, her hands reached for my neck pulling me to her level and kissed the shit out of me. It was a hungry kiss, it was as if she was waiting to do it the whole night. I felt my cock getting harder and i knew when that part of me was involved things could get out of control very fast so i pulled back. She whimpered making me smile. I kissed her forehead and opened the door for her. She got in and i went to my side doing the same.

The drive home was silent. Both of us deep in our own thoughts. I was going to leave her in Kelly's hands tomorrow until evening when they were going to pick me up for the barbecue. I really enjoyed family barbecues because for once i could relax and enjoy someone else's cooking and get to spend time with my family. We all had busy schedules but always made time for each other's birthdays and the reason we agreed our parents hosting our birthdays was because they loved parties and it was like our very own tradition. It gave us a chance to catch up so it was great.

We reached the house an hour later, i watched as her eyes went wide. I wondered if she was going to like the place or would like to put her touch to it, i wouldn't mind if she did, i wanted her to be as comfortable as possible. We stepped out the car with me grabbing her bag from the trunk. "Waoh! This place is so beautiful", "Am glad you like it, welcome", i said gesturing for her to walk in. I gave her a tour and finally we were in our bedroom. I saw her blushing when her eyes landed on the king sized bed that was infront of us. "The closet and bathroom are this way", i directed her showing her the empty side where she could put her stuff along with the bathroom door. "You can freshen up, i will go fetch you a drink, wine?", i asked. "Whiskey with coke if you have any but if not wine is also ok, just the sweet kind", i nod my head walking out. I was definitely going for whiskey. I grabbed my phone and shot a text to Lee who was the restaurant manager telling him that i was going to be late the next day. He answered on spot. Sometimes i think the dude doesn't sleep. But him being sharp was one of the reasons we worked so well together. I collected the drinks, i liked my whiskey dry, but i picked up two cans of coke and returned with the tray in the bedroom. She was still in the shower. An evil thought came to my mind. I went to join her in the bathroom. She was so deep in thought that she didn't hear me walk in until i was in the shower with her. "Oh shit! You scared me", she jumped. I took the soap from her hand and started applying on her, massaging her body slowly making her close her eyes. I was using all my will power to focus on her face as i did it, when i was done washing her beautiful body, she took the soap from me at did the same, i had to bend a couple of times so that she could reach some places and smiled when she purposely missed my cock.
