Chapter One

Cooper

"Try to put a little guacamole on the side." Cindy suggested. Im trying a new dish that i could i add to the menu.

I look at her and back to the dish infront of me before nodding.

"Yeah, that would be a great combination. Thanks." I respond and walk towards the fridge to get some fresh avocado to make guacamole.

"I know right." She confidently said and flip her hair. I mentally roll my eyes at her.

"Ahm..Cindy, where did you put the avocados again?" I ask and open the fruit section.

"Ohh i forgot, we're out of avocados." I closed the fridge and look at her in disbelief.

"Did you ate all of them again?"

"Pffftt... Ofcourse..nooootttt.." She replies and laugh nervously.

"Then where did it all go? I just bought them yesterday."

"Oppssieee.. i may or may not made an avocado shake.." She answered and grin at me.

I facepalm myself and sigh.

"I guess i have to go buy some avocados then." I muttered under my breath as i reach for my car keys on the top of the table.

"Where are you going?" Cindy asked. I roll my eyes and just respond. "Out."

"Hey boss!" Jared greeted me when i bumped into him. I just nod and walk past him.

I looked around and saw some workers cleaning the restaurant. I temporarily closed it due to some renovations, but I'll open it again tomorrow when the paints are all dry.

"Are the new tables arrived?" I asked Stephanie when i spotted her. She's my secretary, she managed the things that needed to be done.

I told her to order a few more tables. The restaurant is getting packed everyday and we're forced to declined some reservations because of it.

"Yes, they arrived this morning Sir." She respond with a sweet smile.

"That's great then, thank you."

I walk out of the restaurant and head where my car is parking. Im supposed to arrange an appointment to my personal engineer for some restaurant renovations for the other branch.

I manage this main restaurant and Cindy, my bestfriend slash the co-owner is managing the other branch in Europe. She's just here 'cause i told her to help me with the new recipe that im making.

She travels back and fourth sometimes to help me with something, since the other branch is located in another country. Sometimes im the one who flew back and fourth when she's the one who needs help with the restaurant. We switched places sometimes too.

I park my car in the parking lot of the supermarket and locked it. I put my hands inside my pocket before walking inside the store.

I walk towards the fruit section to buy some avocados since that's the reason why im here. There's only a few avocados left making me sigh in relief. I took a plastic bag and picked up the avocado, placing it inside the plastic bag. As i was about to grab the last two avocados a soft hand grabs it too.

"Ohh..sorry." I apologize and look up to see the person. Its a girl, wearing a black dress that fits her curves naturally. I trailed my eyes up until my eyes landed to her lips, nose and her eyes that are staring back at me.

Fudge! She's staring at me too, im sure she caught me checking her out.

"Staring is rude." Her stern but husky voice snapped me back to life.

"Oh..ahm.. yeah, i know." I mumbled and shook my head, focusing my attention to the avocado infront of me. Realizing that we're still both holding on it.

"Are you gonna take it?" She asked when she noticed me staring at the fruit.

"Yes. Ofcourse." I answered and pulled the avocado from her hand but she gripped it firmly.

"You have lots of them, can i just have this two?" She asked eyeing the last two avocado.

I looked at the plastic bag and saw that there are only four avocado inside of it.

Hmm..i think it should be enough to make some guacamole, right? Plus, this girl is really hot.

I shook my head to get the thought of her being hot out of my mind.

"Sure..but only if you gave me your number." I said surprising myself of what just came out of my mouth.

Fudge! Now she's gonna think that im a creep.

She didn't seems fazed about it and just continue to stare at me with a serious face.

"You can have your avocados, perv." She respond and drop the avocado.

I scoffed. "Excuse me!?"

"Your excused." She said and walk away from me.

"Hey! Come back here, dont walk awa--oh darn." I stopped calling her when my avocados fell from the ground. I picked it up and tried to looked for that girl who dares to call me a pervert.

How dare she!

I was fumming and irritated as i walk aisle to aisle to where she went.

I can accept it if she said that i was being a creep, but a perverted? Damn her!

As i was about to round the corner my phone rings. I groan and forcefully took my cellphone out of my pocket and answering whoever is calling.

"Hey dork!" Cindy said from the other line.

"What!?" I answered annoyed.

"Are you in your period bruh? Chill." Cindy said, irritating me even more.

"Did you call just to annoyed me?" I deadpan. I heard her whisper to someone before she speaks again.

"Your Mom and dad are here." She said and i groan.

"Why?"

"I dont know, i didn't ask. Moron, just get here quickly. Your Mom keeps on asking me weird questions again." She said and whispered the last part.

"Oh you mean, she's asking if where dating?" I asked and laugh.

My Mom keeps on asking me the same thing when i first introduced Cindy to them. Its been three years already and she still wont let the topic go.

"Its not funny. Come here, A.S.A.P or ill kick your butt." She warned and end the call causing me to laugh again and forget about the girl for a moment.
