Andile

Damn! I hate being famous! These stupid desperate women just love to flirt.

"Relax Uncle A, these stupid women are desperate, and I know you aren't in women"

Is she six years old? I doubt that.

Wait. Did she just call me gay?

"I'm not a gay Mella. I just don't like women"

It's not like I hate gay people, it's just that I don't like men or women

"Yes I know and I'm the only exception because I'm cute and smart"

I laughed as I pinched her cheeks, they are so soft

"Uncle don't do that. I hate when you pinch my cheeks"

"Right, sorry. You are just a lovely kid"

"I know. Uncle, you should let someone in, a guy who will love you. I know you want to be loved"

And she just ruined my mood

"I don't want to be loved. I'm too broken", who wants someone who slept with his grandmother and his dad's wife

"Stop telling yourself that, you will go crazy. Just let someone in. And I'm having a sleepover at your place, actually me and dad, he promised and I know you won't refuse your little niece"

That means no sleep.

"When do you want to come? I need to buy groceries, and all your favorite food"

"Yeah! We are coming this weekend"

This weekend? I'm busy this weekend

"Sorry dear, I'm very busy this weekend"

"Oh uncle A, please"

Oh, that smile! Who can refuse that innocent smile?

"Anything for you. I'll refuse the gents and stay with my little niece"

"Thanks, uncle. This weekend you are teaching me how to cook"

Well that's gonna be fun

"Okay. I'll teach you whatever you want to learn. Now let go, the teachers are already waiting inside. We don't want to be the center of attention"

"No, we don't. But since today I came with you don't be shocked to have those stupid women and men flirt with you. These people don't have shame. And now I'll have more friends because I came with you. You are famous and I don't want fake friends, I'm just fine with Mia"

"So must I stay in the car??"

"Of course not! Come let go. Get out of the car and you are carrying me"

"Don't you know how to walk by yourself?"

"Well I'm tired", she said and closed the door running to my side, I stepped out of the car and picked her up

"You are heavy"

"It's because of you and dad. You feed me so much food"

"The lunch, must we take it or you will take it later?"

"Later Uncle, right now go left, then turn right and turn left again"

As we walk towards the hall, all eyes were on us. I hate attention, even Mella does. Some women have no shame they even wave at me, some are even checking me out and sending me flirting looks

"Don't mind them, uncle, come there is a sit over there"

"Don't you want to go to your friend? I'll manage here"

I think her friend's name is Mia.

"I'm not leaving you alone. My friend will have no problem. Look at them, they are looking at you like they want to eat you"

This girl!

"You are very observant, that is good. Forget about them, let's sit down"

"Yeah let's sit"

~~~~~~

"What a long day!"

"Uncle since my grades are good can I get a treat?"

Jesus!

"Definitely baby. What do you want?"

"Can you take me to your restaurant and can I order anything I want?"

"Come let go. Oh, why don't we call daddy and wish him good luck?"

"Yeah, Daddy. Call him please"

"Put your seatbelt on", I watched as she did what I said.

"Take my phone and call daddy", she squints in happiness

I switched off the radio and watched her do her thing. I wish I had a child, maybe a daughter just like her. I would love her a lot, maybe I should adopt

"Hey daddy"

"..."

"We had a very long boring day. Uncle is treating me to his restaurant. Dad, all those nasty women, and men were looking at him with hungry eyes. My teacher even had the guts to ask me for his number. Shame!"

"....."

Then there was giggling and I was handed my phone

"Dad wants to talk to you"

"Hey man"

"Dude, those nasty women, and men were looking at you with hungry eyes. What did you say to her teacher?"

I was disgusted!

"Well I told him I'm married and my husband is in the mafia. I told him if my husband got to know about this he will be dead by tonight. The poor soul nearly pissed himself."

It was a nice scene to see him fear me because of my fake husband

"You said, husband? So you accept that you are gay?"

"No! I just said that to have him leave me alone. I'm not gay"

I'm not gay! I'm serious

"Well if you say so. So now you are going to the restaurant?"

"Yes and she will order anything that she likes"

"I wish I could come"

"Next time. So how is the shooting right now?"

"Perfectly fine, my boss said he want to have dinner with me, I refused. Before I forget, there is this guy I want you to meet"

So his boss wants to meet him? Why do I feel he wants more than just a date?

"No thank you, I don't want to meet anyone. I'm fine by myself, I don't want a lover"

"Oh come on Andile, just one date"

"No thank you, Ferro, I'm not going on a date with anyone. Hey Mella want to say something", I tossed the phone to her and started driving

Me and dating? Never! I will never be in a relationship

"Well dad, uncle is lying, I don't have anything to say. He doesn't want to date and he keeps telling himself he is broken. Leave him dad, the right one for him will come. Oh, I can wish you good luck, yeah I know I've already wished you good luck, but it won't hurt if I wish you again. Good luck daddy. Bye love you"

"....."

"God please listen to me, send someone for uncle. He is alone"

God, please don't listen to her

~~~~~

"Do you want to sit here or inside my office?"

"Here, I don't want to stare at the boring walls. Come uncle let's sit over there"

"Okay"

She grabbed my hand and lead me to an empty table. We sat down and Roxy came to us

"Good evening sir and madam. What may I get you while you decide what to order?"

"What do you want cupcake?"

"Well uncle I'm not a cupcake and water will be fine for now"

This kid

"She'll have water and bring me the usual", she wrote down on her pad,

"Right away", with that, she left

"Uncle I'm so proud of you. You've achieved a lot"

Wow, wasn't I the one who is supposed to say that to her when she is older?

"Well, thanks, dear. You study hard and you will achieve everything you want"

"Well, uncle I want to be a film director or producer. Anything in the filming industry"

That's a nice career

"That is a nice career. Just work hard and you will be one"

Roxy came with our refreshments

"This is for you kiddo, and this is for you, sir. Have you decided what you want to eat?"

"Don't give her anything that has chilies, she is allergic to chilies"

"But uncle, I like to taste this dish"

"No! Order something else!".

I don't want Ferro to kill me for getting his daughter sick

"Fine."

This girl! Where could my mother be? Do I have siblings?

Why am I thinking about that bitch?!

Augusta stops thinking about her. Just enjoy being with your niece

"That will be all"

"What did you order?"

"It will be a surprise uncle. Go Aunt Roxy, and come back with Uncle Pam"

Pam? Why does she want to see him?

"Sweety, uncle Pam is busy. We will talk to him later"

"Please uncle A, we have a lot of things to talk about. He needs to meet me. Please uncle"

Oh, this girl. I wonder what she has to say to him

"Roxy, tell Pam my niece want to talk. He must come fast"

"Yes sir", she turned and walked away

"Uncle when he comes then you go. We need what is called... What is this word again??"

She needs privacy

"Privacy", she clicked her fingers

"Okay, when he comes then uncle will go see if there is any table that needs to be served"

"That's like a good uncle", she pinched my cheek

"Here comes uncle Pam, now I'll go"

"Hello kiddo, hey Boss"

"She needs to talk to you"

"Okay, give us privacy, uncle. Uncle Pam gives uncle the pad, he will do your work for tonight. Come on go uncle", I chuckled as she shooed me away, I took the Pad from him, I wish I could wipe that smirk off him

"Well Mr. Augusta, there, table 14 needs a waiter, please kindly go and attend", I groaned and walk to table 14.

Table 14, those guys are hot and have that dangerous era around them. Who are these guys?

"Good evening gents, I'll be your waiter for tonight. What can I get for you guys?" I said politely with a smile

"Well good evening..."

Nah, he thinks I will say my name. Never

"Well, my name doesn't matter. What matters right now is food down your stomach", I said

The others snickered, there was this one who looked down and didn't even look up.

"Well, my name is Allendale. Nice to meet you"

Allendale. Nice name

"Nice to meet you too. Now can I take your orders?" I said with the pad in my hand, ready to write

"Yeah", I quickly wrote as they said their orders

"Sir what can I get you?" I asked the one who haven't looked up yet

I wonder what he looks like, the others are quite pretty

"Well can I have you??"

W-what??

Gosh, he is hot, he is so hot. His blue eyes looked straight into my eyes. His voice! It's so husky and dominating. It could make anyone's knees go weak. Why is he looking at me like that?

God, this man is hot. Who is he? I haven't seen him around here, or here in my restaurant

"Wow. You're lucky brownie, my brother never chose anyone"

Did he just call me a brownie? What the hell?

"Yeah Alex, you chose right. He is quite handsome and dad will like him"

What the hell is going on here?

"Sir what can I get for you?" I asked again looking straight into his eyes, they are so beautiful.

Snap out of it! Stop dreaming Andile!

"Well like food, something eatable", I said trying to get the idea of him under me off my head

Jeez! Stop it Augusta!

"Well, I'm sure you are tasty. I'd like to have you tonight, on my bed, screaming my name"

This just got hot! This man is a pervert

"Firstly I'm not gay and secondly I'll send another waiter for you. Good night gents"

I made sure not to look back, but I could feel them looking at me

What just happened??

" Steve please serve table 14", I said shoving the pad into his hands

"Yes", he said

I went to my office and sat on the chair and started doing my work

I didn't even check what time is it, I don't even know how many minutes I took in this office. I was enjoying the peace when a soft knock disturbed my peace

Urgh!

"Come in", I said

"Sir thirty minutes have passed. Those gents from Table 14 have asked to speak to the owner. I told them you are busy and Pam tried to talk to them, but they just didn't listen. They want to complain about a waitress that was serving them before me"

So they want to complain about me, to me?

Okay this will be fun

"Come let go"

I stand up and let him lead the way. After I finish talking to those guys then I will take Mella back home

That man was beautiful

Stop it Andile! You are not gay!

"This is the boss here", Steve told them as I made my present visible

They were shocked, the hot one had that smirk on his face, and damn! It looks perfect on him

"Well we wanted to complain about you"

"Tell me what your complaint is?" I asked sighing and then rolling my eyes.

These beautiful creatures!

"Nothing", said the hot one
