3 guys craving

The car door was opened to me by a gentleman in a suit whom I identified as an employee.

"Hey Jaeh!" I whisper yelled at him since we weren't allowed to talk with the staff.

I knew him because he had been working in this building for years, mostly as a waiter for the restaurant on the first floor.

It was my favorite restaurant and he my favorite waiter.

He had often come to my table after he was free. I had waited until he could keep me company. I had given him a big tip and he had eventually become one of my best friends. My father didn't know about it, but despite the risk we had met again and again.

A big smile graced his face, which I could only reply.

"Vera, I didn't know you would be here too." he laughed in surprise.

"I missed you too, Jaeh." I took his hand, which he offered to help and got out of the big car.

"I- I did miss you." He scratched the back of his head in nervousness.

I laughed softly at his reaction.

We had last seen each other last week. For our standards, it was quite long.

Unfortunately, our hands had to part immediately after the brief contact in order not to attract attention.

I kept smiling at him and waited until my father and the others were ready to go into the building.

A huge entrance awaited us; the floor of shiny marble, golden, glittering lamps that looked down on us.

I found it a bit extreme, all together. But because of Jaehyun, who continued to look at me in admiration, I hardly noticed how brightly the room was decorated.

He always lightens my mood.

After a few minutes, I first noticed the mass of people that had gathered around us.

My father had pulled me to a high table with him and had already disappeared, as he certainly wanted to talk to the many business people on site.

I stood there a little reluctantly and kept drinking the juice that was poured into a champagne glass. Since I don't like drinking.

After another ten minutes of standing around and smiling at old people every now and then, Jaehyun finally came closer to me.

We both insisted on having this conversation unremarkable.

"How's your week so far, Vera?" He asked in a decent, quiet  tone.

"Well, I'm still restricted by my father's rules and orders. But now that I see you, I feel better now."

I smiled at him, somewhat calmed by his presence.

He was Asian - Korean to be more precise - and his eyes almost disappeared under his smile at my indirect compliment.

Also, I loved his dimples that showed when he grinned or smiled, like at this moment.

"How are you Jaeh?" I returned his interest.

"So, my week was pretty rough without seeing you in the restaurant, but I'm doing my best!"

I giggled as softly as possible and gently took his hand.

His warm, big hands were my weak point and I remembered every time they comforted me.

He looked me in the eye with a warm smile as a sign that he was there for me whenever I needed him. And I loved him for it.

Even if we were 'just' friends, I often didn't know what I would do without him.

"I have to get back to work Vera. I was really happy to see you. I'll call you after all the fuss and we'll talk a little more, okay? " He offered me when he grinned and his grip on my hands slightly increased.

"Yes, please~ I really miss you Jaeh." My pleading tone was hard to miss, and now he had to laugh.

"Endure it 'til this evening, okay?" Bye babe! ", He threw a little air kiss and went back to work.

Not a second later, another deep voice called me.

"Vera!" As soon as I turned in the direction from which the voice came, he threw himself at me.

I had completely forgotten how much he loved to hug me.

I noticed his masculine, good-smelling cologne and had to grin a little.

He finally broke away from me and we could examine our faces at each other.

"Oh Vera, it's been way too long since I last saw you!" His lips formed a happy laugh for me.

"Taylor." was all I quietly replied.

"I love to hear my name out of your mouth." he grinned mischievously to tease me.

"I almost forgot how pretty you are." He told, what made me look down.  

"You really got a fetish for my love, don't you?" I now asked, what clearly surprised him.

"Maybe I do." He smirked, while he took my hands in his, after he recovered from the shock, which was caused by my sudden outburst just now.

I smiled back, but moved back a little when I realized how close he had come to me.

He couldn't possibly want to kiss me here!

"Taylor, behave! You can't always attack me when you feel like it!" I whispered warningly.

"I know, but you are hard to resist." He defended himself with an absolutely absurd reason.

I wanted Enzo to make himself available to me, not three guys at the same time!

"Stop, not here!" Finally he backed away a bit.

"Let's go eat something soon, yeah?"

"My Dad mentioned that you would ask me." I rolled my eyes at the thought of the proud tone, in which my father had told me that.

"Is this a yes?" He wanted to know hopefully.

"Mmhm." I hummed in response.

"Good." He smiled satisfied.

We talked a little longer until some people left. Finally my father turned up with us too.

Happy that I was with Taylor, he immediately talked to him in a friendly manner.

After a few fake smiles and rolling eyes, we were finally allowed to leave the empty, bright room.

I had completely missed the fact that Enzo must have been watching me the whole time.

I couldn't keep the grin on my lips to myself when I saw his pissed off look on me.
