LOGINSERVING TABLE SEVEN
“Are we out off caffeine? Why's the order so slow today? We've got a full house." Kimberlee said to the cashier who was writing something down. Her hair was in a messy bun at the top of her head while she wore a white t-shirt neatly complimented by a brown scarf around her neck and a short brown skirt. She also wore her only wedge sandals that gave her little bit of height. “Sarah said the machines are having some technical problems? I don't know." He replied. " Kim, can you take this order please? I have three more.” One of the waitresses placed a sticky note in front of her as she waved three more with the other hand. “Of course. I just need to sort out table three first.” Kim picked it up. “You're the best." The waitress hurried away. " Table seven needs two black coffee, one with sugar, one with milk, another one with milk and sugar.” She read out from the note with a frown. The cashier shrugged at her when she looked up. " Looks like you're gonna have to prepare five cups of coffee,” He smiled. " I'd do anything to have your job right now, Dan.” She walked away to get the orders. Kimberlee carefully held the coffee in a tray and cautiously walked to table seven without spilling any. “Two black coffee," She placed it on the table from the tray, each with it's saucer. “One with milk, one sugar and another with milk and sugar." She recited and picked the tray but almost bit her tongue when she saw Santos sited right in front of her. “What are you doing here?" She looked around and back to him. “Buying coffee?" He smiled. “I didn't see you there." He said with a very strong sarcasm. “Of course you did!" She angrily lowered her voice. “Leave this instant!" “And why? Don't I have the right to be here? Or do I need to complain to the Manager? This is bad for his business, sending customers away,” He sat back and enjoyed to the look on her face. " Fine! Sit, drink your coffee or whatever! I don't care!” She breathed and straightened up. “And who's gonna help me finish all these?” He asked. Kim briefly looked at the cups. “You ordered it, didn't you? Mind you, you must pay for all of them and there won't be any refunds." She answered. " Well you stood me up a week ago!” He mentioned. “You have to make it up to me." " I will do no such. I had a choice and I decided not to show up.” She smirked. " Well you should have straight up rejected. You made me look like a fool after waiting for you and you didn't show up. First you humiliated me in public, then insulted me by not showing up after you said yes. You have a lot to make up for.” He said. “And why are you feeling so entitled?” She placed a hand on her waist. “I have every right to be.” He looked at the cups in front of him. “I didn't know which one you like so I ordered everything.” “I'm not even supposed to be talking to you. It's against our policy. So what made you think I'll sit to have coffee with you?” “Well, I can complain to the manager and I'm sure you don't want to lose your job. Or I can go back to Madison Avenue and give them your location because you broke into a private building. We have tapes by the way.” He smiled. “You're still standing here because I vouched for you and I can take it back anytime I want.” Kim's jaw dropped. “You’re an asshole!” She glared at him and slowly sat opposite him. “I thought as much,” He picked one of the black coffee and sipped. “Don't worry, I won't take your time. Just finish your coffee, tell me when next I get to see you again and you can go.” " My job is really tight, I really don't have time for all of these. I have an assignment in Florida and I leave tomorrow so I don't know when.” She picked the last cup she dropped and sipped from it. " I like my coffee with both milk and sugar.” Then gulped it down till it burned her throat. “Have a nice day." Santos watched her walk away. A small smile fell on his face. Kimberlee Smith. A very interesting human being. The first time he saw her, she bumped into his car, broke her light and blamed it on his driver but he was able to shut her up with some money, just like everyone else. They are all the same no matter the personality, they are still the same. From the beggars on the streets to the nuns in the cathedral, to the thieves and cheap shop owners, social climbers, business partners, billionaires, Kimberly, they all have a price. You just need to put the right price. He couldn't see anything special about her, she was just like everyone else. But here he was, in this cheap coffee shop, trying to get the attention of a local thief and a cheap waitress. Santos drop two bundles of dollar notes, put his shades on and walked out of the shabby shop. But he got to admit, she is a beautiful woman. The most beautiful he'd seen and would fuck. Her hazelnut eyes masked a lot of things he wasn't interested in finding out but her saucy attitude only turned him on badly. He just couldn't wait to have her shivering and shuddering beneath him, begging for more and crying in ecstasy. He couldn't wait to fuck her in ninety different ways until her soul leaves her being and she becomes nothing but flesh. He wants to so badly cover her in his hot cum and watch her greedily suck the demon out of him. He wondered what she'll look like with his cock in her little succulent mouth and down her throat. She wasn't attractive or sexy. Yes she is beautiful but that was just it. She was flat on the chest and didn't really have any ass on her so he won't say she is sexy. Plus, she wasn't blonde. He'd seen and fucked better and if he was to compare, she'll be the least sexy and attractive girl he'd ever want to bang.PLANS AND PLOY Stefania sat alone in her office, fingers drumming softly on the edge of her polished desk. She stared at the framed photo on her table. Santos. Smiling. Happy. With her. But Kim had to ruin everything. A bitter taste filled her mouth. She took everything. And she walks around like she belongs here. She stood and crossed the room to pour herself a drink. Something strong. She took a sip and leaned against the cabinet, her mind racing. She needed a way back in. A way to remove Kim — not just from Santos' bed, but from the palace. Her thoughts drifted to Theodore and she smirked. He looked at Kim like she was already his. He is dying to have her all to himself, she can see it. And that is perfect. There was a knock. Stefania turned, setting the glass down. “Come in.” The door opened and Theodore stepped inside, dressed in a dark jacket, expression skeptical. “You sent for me?” “I did.” She gestured to the chair in front of her desk. “Sit.”
APOLOGIES AND FEELINGS The grand breakfast hall was already bright with morning light when Kim entered. Kim stood near the entrance, her heart thudding in her chest. The queen as already here. She straightened her shoulders, took a deep breath, and started moving. She gave a low curtsy. “Your Majesty,” she said, voice steady though her throat felt tight. “May I please speak?” The Queen’s eyes narrowed faintly. There was a long, taut moment before she inclined her head. “You may,” she said, voice cool, distant. Kim bowed again, Her gaze lifted to Santos. “I apologize,” she began, “To you, your Majesty, to the future king. At the press conference, I acted rashly. I brought shame and embarrassment upon the royal family. I disrespected the crown, Your Majesty, and failed in the comportment expected of me as future Queen of Greece.” Her words hung in the air. The Queen’s expression remained composed, guarded, there was a flicker, perhaps, but Kim could not tell. She went o
DITCHING AT DAWN Santos was asleep, sprawled across the bed, his body relaxed after last night. His messy hair fanned over the pillow and his jaw, usually set with the resolve of a prince, softened in rest, the lines eased, eyelashes brushing against his high cheekbones. His bare shoulders gleamed faintly beneath the silken sheets, his strong arms relaxed at his sides, and his chest rose and fell in the steady rhythm of deep sleep.Beside him, Kim lay curled inward, a stark contrast in both body and mood. Her brown hair spilled over the pillow in waves. The silk slipping off one shoulder to reveal the gentle curve beneath. Her body was drawn close to Santos, as though seeking warmth and comfort.Then, without warning, Kim’s eyes fluttered open, looking around in silence of the room. The darkness felt suddenly heavy, pressing down around her like a shroud. Her gaze shifted, barely moving her head to avoid waking Santos, and landed on his peaceful face, so innocent, so untouched
DESPERATE DESIRES Kimberlee's breath caught in her throat His imposing figure blocked her path, his eyes blazing with a mix of frustration and desire. She didn't hear him move. How did he get here? She thought he was drunk, but as she gazed up at him, she saw the clarity in his eyes, the intensity that seemed to burn through her very soul. "Why do you have to be so stubborn?" Santos demanded. "Why do you make everything so hard for me?" “San..” “Shh..” His thumb lightly touched her lips. Kim felt a shiver run down her spine as she watched, speechless, as he seemed to struggle to contain his emotions. "Why can't you just be the princess my mother wants you to be?" Santos asked, his hand pulling her throat in a tight grip. "Why can't you just be a good girl for once? Why do you always have to be so hard on me?" Kim's eyes locked onto his, searching for answers to the questions he was posing. But before she could respond, his voice came again. "I'm not drunk, Kim," he s
CHOCOLATE AND CHOICES Kim sat alone on a bench, her eyes fixed on the fountain in the courtyard. She can't go to her friends and kids. She can't pour out her problems on them whenever she has one. They also have a life. "I'm so sorry, baby," her palm cupped her belly, her voice barely audible. "I wish I could give you a better life. A life where you don't have to deal with all the drama and stress of being a royal." Tears welled up in her eyes. She felt a pang of sadness, wishing she could feel her baby's movements, her kicks, her gentle stirrings. But it was still too early, and all she could do was talk to the tiny life growing inside her. How can Santos give her such a beautiful thing and at the same time give her a hard life? The few weeks she'd spent in the palace felt like ages in hell. How is she supposed to live the rest of her life in this suffocating place? Before she could get lost in her thoughts, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. She turned to
RESPECT NOR REMORSE? Kim stormed into her room, the anger and frustration of the press conference still boiling deep inside her. She slammed the door shut behind her, the sound echoing through the palace corridors. Tears began to well up in her eyes as she felt the weight of the royal family's disdain bearing down on her. She walked over to the window, staring out at the perfectly manicured gardens below. As she stood there, the tears began to fall, streaming down her face as she let out a sob. She felt so alone, so unsupported. Santos' silence during the press conference had cut her deep. She had expected him to stand up for her, to defend her against Stefania’s barbed comments. But he had done nothing. The pain and anger swirled inside her, making her feel like she was going to explode. She wiped them away angrily, but they kept coming. Stefania set everything up. She hired that stupid reporter to humiliate her. It was so obvious. She was so tired
