Lance

She is absolutely right .

That kiss was not supposed to happen and no sooner does the realization hit do my eyes open into what we have really done.

I clear my throat extensively, hoping that in doing so, the tension would clear up along with my clogged throat. Her taste still lingers in the back of my mouth leaving me with a secret craving for more. I want nothing now more than to grab her by the waist and finish what we had started, but Rexy is right.

Vienna can open doors and that’s not something I want the poor girl to catch us doing. It’s going to be difficult to get her to drop the million questions that she's going to ask and even more difficult answering them in the perfect style to suit her age.

“I…uhh…it’s late, don’t you think?” Kathryn finally spares me the trouble and breaks the silence.

“Yeah. Very much.” My gesticulations are a little bit more exaggerated than they should be for the question, but then, I have no control over my immediate emotions. I check my wrist to get the time before realizing that I don’t even wear a watch. There’s no space on a chef’s hand for such adornments and the only ones I actually own are stashed away in the boxes they were given to me in as a present.

In embarrassment, I abandon the wrist movement and reach for my phone to confirm the time and widen my eyes to see that we’ve actually passed midnight. That’s the official mark for ‘late’ in Reds and Greens and there are few days in the year that qualify for this level of lateness.

“Uh, yes. It really is late. I’ll make sure everything is set and uhh…see you in the car.” I click my finger at her and abandon the room. Of course, I know it’s late. I’m the one that told Daniel to pack up and stop converting any more chicken. It’s just…the moment before her lips met mine, time slowed dramatically. When we finally collided and I eventually got to taste her, it’s almost like time actually stopped. After the kiss, my memories scrambled instantly and I forgot what day of the week we were even in.

I come out to make sure everything is in order. Usually, on days when we’d close a lot earlier, I’d go to the hotel just to make sure everything is working. The building is just behind the restaurant as an extension of the luxurious parts of the restaurant, so I usually oscillate between the two. Most times, the most exquisite dishes requested by hotel guests are even prepared in the restaurant and wheeled in a locomotive table to the hotel not so far behind, to whatever of the seven floors they need it in.

Since hoteling is a twenty-four-hour service though, there’s no closing time. Just a change of shift and I ideally, should be present to make sure everyone is doing their part, but it’s late today. Amongst all odds, I am actually tired and need some rest.
