2 months later........
Today was the d-day. The restaurant was asked to offer
catering services for a birthday party at Downtown Miami.
I didn't know the full details of the event except that I had been selected as one of the waiters. The restaurant had provided us with uniforms.
The sound of laughter and hushed voices had already filled the mansion. Everywhere you look, you could see luxury. The ladies are dressed in fine and elegant dinner gowns and the men in Armani suits.
My tray is filled up with refreshments for the guests. I have been assigned tables to serve so I have to go back and forth to bring more refreshments.
About half an hour later, a man goes up on the stage, "Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you all to the birthday party of Miss Maya Diaz. Let's all welcome the celebrant and her family." A round of applause was heard as a beautiful lady made her way down the stairs.
She wore an emerald dinner gown made of soft, satiny fabric, long and fitted. It had a high slit showing her dark olive skin.
She was accompanied by Dr. Teresa Diaz and two men. They all had jet black hair.
Then, my eyes fell on the two men.Their muscular figure was clear under the black expensive looking suits. They both were tall , but, his eyes caught my attention, it looked so cold and lifeless unlike the other man, who looked playful. He had an austere expression.
For a moment, I forgot the tray in my hand and the refreshments. I practically forgot about everything as I tried to figure him out.
Wait a minute, so this is Dr. Teresa's house. I thought I had escaped her. She looked so beautiful wearing a black satin gown. Her hair was curled with little tendrils framing her face.
Unfortunately for me, I was assigned to the table where Dr. Diaz and her children sat. I would be queried if I didn't serve them.
I balanced the tray to my right as I served the refreshments at the same time trying to block out my face.
"Louise, how are you. It's good to see you." Dr. Teresa said amiably.
All eyes on the table was on me including 'him'.
I couldn't speak so I just nodded with a smile.
"I want you to meet my daughter, Maya and my two boys, Alejandro and Sebastian, this is Louise." She said. Introducing me like we were good friends.
So his name was Alejandro.
"U hmm, hi . Just call me Lou." I murmured softly.
They all smiled at me but Alejandro just stared at me and went back to pressing his phone.
Very rude, he didnt even acknowledge me.

I was so relieved that the party had come to an end. My feet were killing me so I decided to rest a bit in the storage.
Out of nowhere, I see Dr. Teresa making her way towards me.
"Lou, could you please stay for a bit, I will drop you at your house." Her gesture is so calm and peaceful.
I just nodded.

Third person POV.
He didn't want to come to the party but he couldn't disappoint Aunt Teresa and Maya.
He watched Aunt Teresa and 'the girl' from his balcony, they seemed like long time friends.
He remembered when his Aunt introduced her as Louise.
She was so beautiful but when 'she' looked at him, it was like her green eyes were piercing his soul so he had quickly looked away.
