The Maid and the Master by H B (the little red hen read aloud .TXT) 📕

*Rileys (Mila) POV*

"The customer is always right."

That saying has been around for as long as businesses have been going about.

Who would have known that it would also become one of the most hated quotes in the business industry, especially today.

I came in to work just like any other day, got into my uniform, and transformed into a one of a kind, breath taking beauty. Greeted all of the regular customers, got their orders, and provided five-star service. The bell chime of the door jingles, signaling a new customer arriving in our cafe. 

"Welc.....ome Masters" my heart feels like it would explode at any moment now, a smile plastered on my face hiding my growing fear. Guide them to their table, act normal, and out menus, act normal, I keep telling myself. 

"What would my masters like for this afternoon?" I asked, analyzing if I had been discovered or even recognized.

"I want..." "This sounds good, I'll try" "I..." "Maybe...." this was all I heard from each one of the handsome guys around the table, why is he ordering last... and why is he looking at me....

"A hazelnut mocha, and a serving of your...." he trailed off staring at me intensely

OH GOD, OH GOD, I've been discovered... 

"...your, Chocolate Mint Cheesecake" he finished, still staring at me.

"Would that be all master?" why is he staring so intently, has he noticed its me, this is slowly unnerving me.

"I would love to know your name" he said shyly.

A lot of ohhhs and ahhhs broke out from the table.

"My name?" I exhaled, not even noticing that I had been holding my breath, "my name is Mila. Your orders will be ready in a moment" I smiled and walked off to leave, grabbing my hand quicky and gently the customer said "Logan...my name is Logan." 

Another rounds of ohhhs and ahhhs, accompanied by awwhs.

"Your order will be ready shortly master Logan" smiling again and this time not being stopped walked gracefully but briskly out and into the kitchen delivering their orders.

My mind is spinning, my heart feels like it will come out of my throat. Of course I know who the bloody hell you are, your the king of jerks, the one who plays with all the girls feelings at school. You are the king of players, of heartbreaks, and of flirtatious actions. Why, just why did you have to come into this shop, on my shift and show that.. that face!......... that face? I've never seen you ever show that sort of face, ever. What the heck....

This sucks, I wish it was a nightmare, but my red cheek goes to show that im wide awake. 

"Riley, you've been pinching your cheek for a while now, anything wrong?"

"Sorry bro, it's just, UHG my teammates from track and feild are in the shop and im their waiter..."

"Let me guess, you don't want them to recognize who you are" he finished.

"Exactly, so thats why i've been pinching my cheeks for a while hoping this was a nightmare"

"Unfortunately its not Ry." "Just remember you have to act normal, and remember the rule...the customer is always right."

"The customer is always right" i mimicked.

My brother, David, owns this cafe. He asked me to help out because he did not have enough waitresses. I agreed, only if my best friend Naomi would join me, and she agreed. She didn't think twice, she has had a HUGE crush on my brother ever since we were younger. But hey, i guess thats what its like when you really like someone.

"Okay Ry, your orders ready, go out there and give 'em your best!"

Groaning, I got their orders and plastered on a smile. As I walked out I could hear Naomi laughing with the guys.

"Excuse me" i flashed a look at Nao, and she gave me one back, we have some sort of telepathic communication to each other so we understand each other eenif its from eye contact, *you gonna be okay Ry?* *hope so, don't think they noticed it's me so i think i'll be okay* "Your orders are ready"

"Okay guys, I'll see you later"

"Awh okay bye Naomi"

"Wait aren't you and Riley always together? Is she working here too?"

"No...." before she could finish someone said

"NO WAYS, Riley would never put on a girly outfit like that, and i bet she would not even match" snickering "shes a tomboy remember!!!" roars of laughter erupted and all the guys were trying to catch their breath.

Shessh, the person is right in front of you. I want to smash these orders in their faces and see their reaction. A quick look at Nao and she knew what I was thinking. *Don't you dare do it Ry, even though it would be funny think about what your about to do*

Interupting their irritatingly joyious time, I set out their orders and resisted the urge to run. "Is there anything else you gentlemen would like?"

"Nah, this will be enough, thanks Mila" all the boys said.

"Dude, these are really good!" said Noah.

"Yeah, I could eat a bunch of these" Jake said.

"Thank you, I'm sure the chef would be very delighted to hear that" i smiled "If there anything else I'll be over there" I pointed to the counter.

"Oh can we have extra napkins, if thats okay?" said Jake. "Noah here can make a mess of things one way or another."

 "Sure, ill be right back"

placing the extra napkins i smiled and then left, god it hasn't even been 30 minutes and I'm dead tired, i walked into the kitchen 

"hey dave can i have and expresso or something to boost my energy, i feel sapped"

"yea but hurry up okay" making my expresso and continuing "so do you think they noticed you yet?" 

"I hope not, and hopefully they never will know"

"DOONNNEE, well what happens if they do?" he looked at me questioningly

"I don't know" i said sipping the expresso "god this is good, but i hope they dont find out.... if they do well who knows" finishing the last sip i said thanks to my brother and then popped a mint in my mouth... hey i have to do it for the service, no ways would they want to smell coffee on my breath.

I saw Nao back at Logan and his crews table, oh wheres logan i wonder, uhg why do my thoughts run to him right away, hes my RIVAL for gods sake! 

"Miilaaaa" cooed Daemon "sorry to interrupt your snooping but you have another customer" 

"I was not snooping Dae, just observing from a distance"

"What ever you say...table 4"

"table 4, got it" 

-----

i had just gotten table 4's orders of water when i overheard Nao and the guys talking about me... naturally i would have ignored it but my curiousity got the best of me, crouching behind one of the dividers i tried to listen to what they were saying

"I would have never thought you and Riley were seperable, ya know Naomi" Mark said.

"Yea, i mean you guys are kinda like twins, but i dont think she would have ever followed you into this shop" scoffed Jake.

I was kind of irittated that they complimented me a few moments ago but just shoot it down behind my back afterwards, wait they dont even think this is me this is 'Mila'... tired of their pointless chat i stood up not even noticing Logan coming right out of the bathroom and worst yet... I spilled the water on him.

*to be continued from Logans POV :D*

"Hey, lets go somewhere to eat"

"starvin' for something sweet" 

"Mark, your sweet tooth is whats gonna get you into trouble" 

"Chill dudes, lets go to that new cafe down by XXXXX"

These are my mates, Noah whose hungry all the time, Mark the one with the sweet tooth as you may have noticed, and his twin Jake. I've known them since middle school and we've been together ever since. We are all Juniors in Highschool, and we're all on the track and feild club. 

A little about myself, some would say im a jock or a player but just to make things clear, thats all because of the looks i've inherited from my parents. I've been on the track and feild club since middle school, not only because i loved to feel the air rushing past me as i run, but because there was this girl that i had a HUGE major crush on since elementary. We use to get along so well, but she started to hate me for some reason. When we got into middle school, we became known as "Tom and Jerry". We were like cat and dog every time we saw each other, and we were "rivals" as she put it. I couldn't understand her, she was such a tomboy and totally not my ideal type (which was girly, sexy, and NOT A TOMBOY) but I was head over heels for her ever since my eyes landed on her. Cheesy right! 

The squad (nickname for the guys) finally arrived at the cafe, and i'm a huge coffee lover, so i could smell the scent of coffee that was kinda seeping out from the doors. As soon as i opened the door the smell of coffee took over my nose and it made me happy, but the next thing i saw almost made my jaw drop and have me melt except i saw the small and fleeting sign of tension that built up in her beautiful eyes. I had to play it cool, and act as if there was nothing there but a very beautiful girl. I hoped no one would hear the beating of my loud heartbeat as I just looked at her, I mean she was so GOD DAMN HOT!!!

Riley just kinda stood there tensing for the moment she thought we would recognize her....

"WHOA, a BABE!!" said an almost drooling Mark "your so HOT"

"you took the words outta my mouth bro" Jake said, while raking her body with his lust filled eyes.

"okay guys can't you see your scaring her" said Noah "sorry babe, I know your not into those types of dweebs. your daddys here now"

"EW, that was so cheesy Noah" ive got to supress my jealousy and anger "sorry about those perverted idiots, and please dont mind them" I said.

"No harm done" said Ry.

I could see from her face that she was trying
