Brites' Revenge - Mariana Mendoza (best non fiction books to read .TXT) 📗

shirt. I shivered a little with desire to touch those muscles and firm buttocks. I shook my head to clear those thoughts away. But I couldn’t deny that my leader looked twenty-five and hot when he was a two hundred year old vamp.
I began to heal his. With my magic, I could see that he was clawed badly on the ribs and neck and a couple puncture wounds from fangs along with a bruised stomach. He wasn’t badly injured yet I healed him in case any other disasters happened later. I heal him as fast as I would.
“ So, how many did you finish off?” King asks me.
“ Five.” I said when I finished. King came over to me to see how I was. I let him circle me. I didn’t have any bad ones. The scratches were all gone, the bites gone and the only thing left on me was the ripped clothes.
“ Okay, Razor, good. Lets go celebrate,” he said out loud and we all just followed him. I walked right beside my leader.
“ You know, we’ll go broke if we celebrate every fight we win.” I tell him.
“ You’re the one without he major job. We all just chip in with what we can to keep our base open. Oh, that reminds me, we should start and change our hideout again. I don’t think the base we’re in right won’t hold all the brothers. We need a new house,” he says, never looking down at me for my opinion. I guessed it was already a deal that was done. I was fine with that. I lived in a condo which meant I only cared how safe my bros would be.
“ Cool.”
“ Where are we going to celebrate?” Scorch asks.
“ My restaurant; on the house.” I say quietly. They all cheer out loud. I laugh at their crazy dances. I owned the best supernatural restaurant, called Royale, in the downworld. It was also the largest so I was busy most days with it. I needed to get an assistant but I couldn’t find one yet and I just really didn’t trust anyone with all the responsibility. I was the only person besides King that actually had a career. King was a magic shop owner.
“ Hows the business by the way? All going good?” King asked me.
I nod. “ Busy as always. I’m interviewing a new chef tomorrow and since I don’t have one right now, the others are having trouble keeping up and that means I’m going to have to open the restaurant tomorrow morning.” I explain to him.
“ New chef? What happened to Saucy?” he asked. Saucy was my old chef and a very good one. All the staff loved him.
“ He had to leave because he was moving to the otherworld.”
“ Did he even find a way to go to the otherworld?” King was surprised.
“ He’s a hellion. Obviously he can find a portal.” I jab him lightly on his side. He jabs back which starts a jab and pushing contest.
We all laugh hard when we get to downtown. I could see a lot of different types of naturals. They were all wearing a glamour so that the humans wouldn’t see what they really were. We still haven’t told the humans that other creatures existed besides them but for some reason the naturals politics always said it would be easier and since the elections for a new ruler was going to begin in a couple of months, no one knew if we were ever going to reveal ourselves.
I then find my glamoured restaurant. Humans would only see a three story building that was an old shabby restaurant. In reality, it was just my big dark brown colored restaurant that held a lot of naturals. I made it my mission that only naturals were allowed in and that all my staff was as well.
When we got in I could see that a lot of people were in today. My waiters were all busy and I could see their pockets were full of tips. I smiled; it was a plus that I didn’t pay my waiters anything since the people payed them for me.
“ Go and tell Kelly to find you a seat. I’ll be right back.” I tell them.
They do as I say and only King follows me. I go to the back where the kitchen was. Baxter, my baker was covered in flower, trying to make as many bread as he could.
“ Hows it going Bax?” I hollered to him through all of the steam and heat and other hollers. Baxter looks up from the dough he was making. Baxter’s white hat sat perfectly on his head. I couldn’t even see his light brown hair. His orange eyes were fixed on the dough he had in his hand. Baxter was fit for a pixie. He glares up at me.
“ You need another chef, Brites. All the others are struggling to make them as good as Saucy’s cooking. Get one fast or else we’ll fall,” he screams back.
“ I know and I’m sorry. I’m interviewing another chef tomorrow and he’s right for the job then he’ll start that moment.” I sympathize with him.
“ You better, Brites, or else you’ll lose half the staff,” he warns me.
I laugh at that. “ Why would they? I’m the only owner who pays my staff enough to make a living out of it and still have enough to get whatever they want.” I yell back a him. He grunts and turns away to put a tray of dough bread into the oven.
I leave him be and go to see how my other chefs were doing. They were all yelling over each other. The kitchen was hot and I could see them all sweating while others couldn’t sweat and a whole lo of magic. I took an apron from the wall and threw another one to King.
“ Come on, Caden, lets help my poor staff, “ I tell king.
“ They really need all the help they can get,” he whispers to me. I smack him in the head.
“ Obviously, obviously.” I tell him.
We go and wash our hands and arms so we could help out. It was a good thing that Caden and I were good in the kitchen. It was a perk when you own a restaurant. I held my hands.
“ Does anyone need help?” I yell out.
“ Yes!” they all say.
“ Damn.”
“ That bad?” Caden tells me. I don’t answer, just pushed him to the nearest chef while I went to Yoshi, my Japanese-American chef that was a killer fish food cook.
“ What do you need?” I question him.
“ More crab and lobster. We also need more puffer and a bunch of oysters,” he tells me. I go to the big fridge at the back of the of the kitchen. I open it. There wasn’t a lot of supplies left. Oh yeah, the market truck would come here tomorrow which meant that if all of the supplies were finished tonight, we would have to close early. I took a look at my watch. It was already ten thirty. That sucked. We only had two ours left.
I grabbed the bucket of oyster and what was left of the puffer fish and gave them to Yoshi. He took them and began frying the oysters while he skinned the fish. Yoshi was an elf so the little magic he had, he used it to help him cook.
“ How the kids?” I ask him. Yoshi was only twenty-four and yet he already was married and had three kids.
“ My baby girl is going to start school while the two boys are still thinking they’re superheroes.” he laughs.
I smile and just leave him once he doesn’t need my help much. I then go to another cook that needs help. Caden and I spend the rest of the two hours like that. When we close down, I help the chefs and the cleaning crew to tidy up the kitchen. I make sure that nothing was dirty. When we were all finished they came out to the front and they all stood up and glared at me. Geez, I was giving them hell.
“ I know, I know, we need a new chef or maybe two but don’t worry because I’m interviewing one tomorrow morning.” I put my hands up and look at them all in the eyes. My staff don’t say anything but I could tell that they were relieved because they relaxed a little.
“ Good, cause we’re all need a chef or two to come so that they can worry about the main dishes.” Baxter said. They all agreed.
“ Oh, nock it off. I’m paying you all better on summer season. Don’t complain or I’ll cut your wages and if you even dare threaten me with leaving then I can easily fins replacements.” I tell them even though I know they would never do that. We were all family in the kitchen and outside of it. They loved me too much to leave me.
They said nothing but went to their lockers in the back so they could all go home and rest. My night staff were all exhausted. Unlike my day staff, my night staff didn’t have a chef and I was now worrying, wondering if I had to get one of the morning chefs to come and fill in for a while. My restaurant was never not busy.
“ You okay?” King whispered to me.
“ Not really. I have to get a chef.” I sigh out.
King and I walk to my office and I sit there for a while until Caden comes to me and begins to kiss my neck. Did I forget to mention that my leader and I were occasional lovers? We were only friends but with benefits.
“ Then how about I try and make you relax a bit?” he murmurs in my ear. I smile, his words sending a tingling feeling all over me. His breath tickled my ear. I turn around and stand up, grabbing at his waist. He bends down to kiss me.
The kiss is sweet and soft. I lean into him and wrap my hands around his neck. His tongue slips into my mouth, deepening the kiss. I moaned which made boss shudder in pleasure. King grabbed my hip and hauled me up onto my desk. I laughed and my hands go under his ripped up black shirt. I began to feel moist down there when an intruder called out.
“ Hello? Anyone here?” a deep voice called out.
King and I separate from each other and go outside, Caden irritated that someone had just disturbed him. I on the other hand, was furious. I needed sex right now. It was the only thing that made me relax quickly.
“ What?” King yells out.
“ We’re closed. Can’t you see the damn bright red sign outside?” I holler.
When I turn the corner I shut my trap before I let an insult.
