Chapter Four

The next few days were idyllic. Cody and I spent much of our time together, and I didn’t think that any of our coworkers knew of our relationship as of yet. We continued to work well together, and I remembered that it was his restaurant and he was the boss. When he spoke, the answer was, “Yes, Chef!” I didn’t want to do anything to cause Cody to have second thoughts about us working together. After hours, we were a couple. We did things together; tested new recipes, went to movies, shopped for items to decorate the restaurant for Valentine’s Day, and most of all, we talked and talked about everything under the sun. It was amazing all the things that we already knew about each other, but there was so much more to be discovered, and we were delighted to learn that we shared the same spiritual and political beliefs. We didn’t think that people should drive and talk on cell phones at the same time, and we felt that texting while driving was even worse. Cody made it positively clear how he would punish me if he ever caught me doing something so foolish, and since my bottom was just recovering from that sound spanking he gave me, I had no trouble imagining he would do as he said. I was quick to reassure him I wouldn’t do any such thing, and I knew I wouldn’t.

The more time we spent together the better I liked Cody, and he was quick to tell me he felt the same about me. Valentine’s Day was fast approaching and we’d created quite a package deal for couples wishing to celebrate at A Touch of Class. We’d put together a romantic meal, including appetizer, entrée, and dessert, and we were booked full. Unless someone canceled, we couldn’t accept even one more reservation. Valentine’s Day would be extremely busy, and while Cody and I might enjoy going out somewhere ourselves, we would be working. Cody had already given Reed the night off to be with his wife, and since it was unlikely they would ever have another Valentine’s Day together, I appreciated Cody’s thoughtfulness. He was a good man.

Cody put me in charge of lunch service, and asked me not to disturb him unless we got backed up. Things were extremely busy, but everything seemed to go well, and by midafternoon the crowd thinned out and I was finally able to take my break after giving instructions for dinner prep. I had a nice fresh spinach salad for my lunch and I was looking forward to enjoying it. Tabitha came back with a cup of coffee and sat down, kicked off her heels, and put her feet up on another chair. She looked over her chair and toward the office before lowering her voice to say, “The boss is sure crazy; that woman Alyssa calls and he jumps to do her bidding.”

“What?” I asked.

“Oh, I guess you didn’t hear. Alyssa called and asked for the Boss this morning.
