Luna was at work when Sienna was going all out to serve Ace and his businessman.
William walked in and she took the menu. Now she stood in front of him,
"This way Sir."
He sat down, and she leaned in. "What would you like to drink?"
William grinned at her. "What do you suggest?"
"I'm a horrible decision-maker."
After placing his order, Luna had his drink, which she then returned to his table and placed down.
Yet William trapped her hand, and he took it and kissed it.
Luna blushed, "Stop, people will see."
"So? They have to know that you are mine."
"There are rules in place."
"Rules are meant to be broken, Luna."
She rolled her eyes. "Ugh, don't start with me."
He grinned at her, "Join me."
Luna shook her head in exasperation. "You forget that I'm at work."
"Fine, fine, but our second date has to come soon."
Luna nodded, and she was excited about it, "We will discuss this later."
"You can't take it back."
She laughed lowly, "I won't. I always keep my word."
"I love that."
She went back in front, not wanting to get in trouble, and she scanned the room to see if anyone needed help.
Yet her eyes met Ace's and the gaze was so dark that it made her shiver a bit. Luna could not look away, but she finally managed to break away.
Her heart beat fast, that man was truly something. How did he manage to force her to keep her gaze on him?
Luna knew that women wanted Ace because of his looks, but most of all it was his presence. She knew that the woman entertaining him felt a high from his cruelty.
They worshipped him, and they were willing to subject themselves to this nonsense of sharing him.
No, no, she needed to switch Ace off her mind. He would relish the fact that she was even remotely thinking about him.
William's food came back, and she went with it, and placed it in front of him,
"Anything else, Sir?"
"Your company."
She rolled her eyes. "Seriously, you never stop."
He shrugged playfully. "It's not my fault, you offered."
"You know what I meant."
"Teasing you is fun."
Luna scoffed, "If that's all..........."
"Could you read me the drinks menu?"
She gave him an Are you serious look, "Wow, resorting to such."
"That is the only way that I can talk to you and keep you company as you work."
"We will do that on the next date, talk plenty, and keep each other company the whole day."
He grinned, "That's a deal."
Luna nodded and went back to the front. After some time, she went to William and was surprised at his question.
"You are having dessert?"
William grinned, "Am I not allowed to, mam?"
She chuckled, "You never do such."
"That is the only valid way I can watch you."
"You make it seem as if I'm some TV show."
His eyes lit up. "You're one to me and I enjoy it very much."
"You do? I do the same things."
William smiled, "I know, but I don't get tired of it."
She smiled, "Well, I'm glad that you find me fascinating, but you don't have to force yourself to get dessert."
"You said it, not me. So I will just sit here and watch you."
She shook her head, "Enjoy then."
Luna went back to serve her other customers. Knowing William was watching her made her a bit conscious and felt sweet, too.
Yet there was another lingering feeling of unease because she knew that Ace was equally watching her, if not even more.
William's pull was light and sweet. Then you had Ace's dark one, and that commanded you to his presence.
She placed the empty glasses on the bar,
"Luna."
She turned around. "Are you leaving?"
He nodded, "I don't want to, but I have to."
"You have been here long enough."
He pouted, "I wish I could do it for longer."
"Let me walk you out."
Luna went with him to the entrance, and they stepped outside.
"I will text you later to check if you made it home safely."
She smiled at William's concern. "I always do, you don't have to worry about it."
"No, it puts me at ease."
She smiled, "Fine, do that then, you too should get home safely."
He pulled her into his arms, and he held her. His scent was intoxicating, and she wrapped her arms around him.
She pulled back. "I have to go back to work."
"I know. I just don't want to let you go."
Luna smiled, and he placed a kiss on her cheek, "Text me if you need anything, I mean it."
"I will."
She waved at him and went back inside.
