The Waitress

Prologue

After losing her both parents Venessa Clay is left alone on her own. Despite her parents' death Venessa learned to be happy and content with her normal life, and normal job as a waitress in a diner.

But will her life remain normal after the most dangerous Italian mafia leader Vincent De Costello laid his eyes upon her? After all, he always gets whatever he wants.

She is simple, sweet, and innocent. Everything he never thought he would fall for but yet he did.

Venessa's P.O.V

The bell at the door rang indicating a new customer. And as soon as the new customer stepped a foot inside the door, the whole diner fell silent. I looked up and saw the most handsome man I have ever seen in my entire life. He is around 6'3 and had the most alluring grey eyes that almost looked black and a midnight colored hair which is neatly sleek back making him appear more dangerous.

He was wearing a fine black tailored suit, which I assume is Armani. It hugged his body too well making his muscles look more eye-catching and two guys wearing the same attire as him, followed close behind.

Everything about this guy screams power and wealth and I would be lying if I say that I don't feel intimidated by him.

As he walked, everyone parted to give him way not wanting to get in his way and as soon as he got seated, I quickly averted my eyes not wanting to get caught staring.

I noticed that every girl in the diner is trying to catch his attention but he looked like he was completely used to the attention he was getting and has the expression that he's ready to kill anyone who crosses his path.

Tina, my coworker came over to my side ''go and take their orders'' she said whispering, making me almost choke on my own spit. I quickly recovered myself and shook my head no.

'' Why in the bloody hell not?'' she questioned looking at me in disbelief.

There was no way I would go near them knowing all too well that I would surely do something that will embarrass myself.

''Girls will die to be in your place right now'' she remarked looking at me in disbelief. '' But I'm not like them'' I responded, playfully rolling my eyes at her. ''Just go!'' Tina exclaimed.

A sigh escaped from my lips as I reluctantly headed over to their table to get their orders. My palm started to sweat and shake badly at this time.

My wobbly legs took me to them ''Good evening, I'll be your waitress for tonight. What can I get for you?'' I stated in my professional voice trying real hard not to stammer.

I looked up and see him staring at me so intently. I feel my body starting to shake and my heart pounding out my chest. His stare is so intense that it can make anyone cower away.

''I'll get a cheesy burger, fries and coke'' said the guy with brown eyes, he looks friendly among the three of them. And as I'm about to write the order, the pen slipped from my hand as they were shaking and sweating violently.

I was about to get down and to pick it up but the grey-eyed monster already beats me to it.

He hands me the pen slightly brushing his fingertips against mine. I felt electricity washed over my body making me look up to him and to see that he was already staring at me. I felt the heat slowly creeping up to my cheeks.

I quickly looked away, not wanting to let him see that he had an effect on me, so I hastily wrote down their orders and literally ran away from them.

After going to the kitchen, I told Tina to give them their food not wanting to go anywhere that grey-eyed monster.

But little did I know that it will not be the last I will see him.
