Chapter Twenty Five of Ruthless ❤️
We meet again. He planned it all.

"Have you heard?"

"Heard what?" Tacha served her customer's order. She took her mind off the lady beside her smiling at the tall guy in recommended glasses. She forgot what he requested for all thanks to the girl beside her. She really made her laugh for a good start, and now she was busy ranting about everything she needed to know. "Sorry. Was it chicken you requested for or Turkey?"

"Chicken." The guy didn't bother to smile back and Tacha understood. She just started her shift and one of the instructions given to her was smiling and being friendly to the customers even when they come off rude. Was he not expected to at least smile back. Tacha rolled her eyes at the customer's food instead. Then slowly switched back to the smiling hard working girl. She understood people's mind are filled up with different thoughts and she was only expected to do her job. "Next please," she said, the tiredness on her face coming back right after.

"Tacha were you listening to me at all."

Tacha finally turned, moving away from the food before her when she had no customers to attend to anymore. "Sincerely you are a big trouble for me please. Do you even know that? You've told me everything I need to know this afternoon Funmi. Are you sure you don't have me in mind. How come you and Kenny knew each other please. And stop pressing that your small breasts on my back. Are they stones?"

Funmi laughed, covering her face before moving her hands away, feeling embarrassed. "Jesus! You are a savage Tacha. Who knows, if I press it on your back even more, anything could happen and I could suddenly be the owner of that big boobs while you own mine."

Tacha laughed. "Dream on girl. You can have my ass though, but I ain't giving out this breasts."

Funmi laughed so hard. She was enjoying Tacha's company a lot. She got to know Tacha through Kenny but they never really talked. Now that they were working together, on a first day, she couldn't help but enjoyed Tacha's company. She was free, and easy to talk to, but quite annoying. Funmi rolled her eyes at Tacha. "But what's all this seriousness about, like you aren't giving it to someone's son."

"Oh my God!" Tacha covered her mouth staring at Funmi, half smiling. "How old are you again please? I know I'm older than you okay."

Funmi couldn't hold her laughter. "What? I'm twenty two. So what?"

"Then you need to know I'm four years older than you. So, leave me with who I'm giving my boobs to. I ain't giving it out to women like me. And quit talking to an elderly person like me that way. Okay!"

Funmi grinned. "Ehenn ehnn... That's what you should have said please. And stop acting like you are old. Just be careful cause the manager is starting to eye you. I don't like him for you though. He looks like a carrot owner with that his short height and small body. Bone acting like meat."

Tacha ran out of the space she was, laughing so hard. Everyone was watching her, but she wasn't even aware. Her carved brow raised higher at Funmi telling her to keep her mouth shut and not come anywhere near her again. Funmi had a good shape for her age. Tall, not too slim or too big. Small boobs, small ass, but fine face. The curly wig she had on her head bounced so well that you could smell the quality. She was the type that doesn't joke with her looks and even at night, she was on makeup. Heavy one that made her look so different. Tacha's eyes found the manager and she laughed so hard thinking he could actually be a carrot owner considering his small, tiny body. Oh jeez! Tacha didn't want to believe he had a girlfriend. Then she laughed again for the last time before keeping quiet, moving her eyes away from the manager for having dirty thoughts.

They weren't close to the customers who were having their meals so that gave Tacha the opportunity to enjoy her laughter. It had been long she laughed that long and totally carefree. The two were next to each other again, but Tacha changed the subject. "You were asking me if I've heard something."

"Oh yes." Funmi said. "I know you don't just have a fine face but also a good luck Tacha. It's your first day and we are having a good rest already. By eight today, we would get to rest because I heard Mr. Joe saying someone booked the whole restaurant for three hours." Funmi squealed. "This place is always full by night, so you really need to know how excited I am. And of course, if what the person paid wasn't up to or more than our target budget for the night, Mr. Joe wouldn't have agreed. So, I can't wait to see the couple of the night though. He could have used other places. Why here?" Funmi rolled her eyes. "I would rather he spent it at more expensive restaurant than buying the whole of this place."  Funmi scoffed.

Tacha laughed. "How does your boyfriend even cope with you."

"Accepting me for who I am. He has a choice but he likes me just that." Funmi said with so much confident. "He's the best."

"Tacha! The manager wants you." One of them yelled.

Funmi laughed. "You see. We never carry the oracle, oracle don dey happen." She finished in broken English, causing Tacha to laugh.

"Will you shut up. Too much Nollywood. Don't end up being like my mum." Tacha said playfully. "He only wants to ask why we are laughing."

"Uhmm...why we are jogging ni."

Tacha didn't bother to reply Funmi, walking towards the Manager's office. She made her way in. "Sir.." she called, stepping into the middle of the small office. "Sir, I heard you want to see me." She added, coming to a stop. Tacha heard the sound of the door behind her, and when she thought it was nothing, the door shut closed and immediately Tacha turned around. Her heartbeat beating her to react as she stared in wonder at who stood at the door, with his arms crossed under his chest, leaning on the wall. Tacha swallowed moving back, trying to imagine if it was true or not. She closed her eyes, opened them, and he was there. Nathan Brown was there. Staring at her with no intention of looking away.

"Hi," he greeted very warmly, his eyes resting on her chest before he took in every detail of her body. The thought of every part of her body he touched flashed in his memory. The way she pleaded for him to stop, he wanted to hear that voice again. He suddenly had the desire to take her. She was like a pill for his sudden ailment,  but her eyes looked so dry. Shocked for a while, but normal in no time. Nathan shifted in his trouser. The throbbing in his male part was the proof that he was no longer in control of the situation. He knew this big girl could be capable of so many things, but not having him wrapped up around her finger. He was clueless, and couldn't believe he was here with her after telling himself he could forget her. For two good weeks of fighting with himself, he was here to find her again.

Tacha didn't expect to see who was standing by the door in a white shirt, black pants, and black shoes. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbow, exposing half of his strong arms. Tacha looked away. She eyed the table between her and Nathan before slowly looking up at him. "Should I have the feeling that you've been watching me for the past two weeks already. It's my first day here at work and here you are standing right before me. Do you think I should ask how you were able to find me?"

The silence in between them lasted for few seconds. The two only stared at each other, torturing themselves with looks.

"Hey, you don't have to stare at me that way." Nathan smiled. "I miss you." He admitted. "I'm here because I couldn't stop thinking about you. I need you to know it's tough for me coming here because I had to drop my pride. We couldn't have a better conversation before you left that day and I'm totally pissed you took your mum away just like that. I thought you would have called me and thank me for helping you with that."

Tacha raised her chin, lifting her perfectly shaped brows at Nathan. "Thank you? You can actually listen to yourself right? Thank you that you got my mum a place because you knew your mum could chase her out one day. Let's accept you found a way to stop your mum from embarrassing me even more, but you? What did you do after then? I left there really mad at you and you couldn't even give me a call to ask how I was doing."

"I didn't see the need to do that when there is nothing going on between us."

Tacha's eyes were instantly brimmed with tears. "You know what, just get the fuck out of my sight."

"Tacha nobody speaks to me that way."

Tacha stared at him so angry, biting her lower lip not to cry. "Do you know I really want to hit the hell out of you?"

"Since it's you, I allow anything."

"Sto...p!" Tacha tried her best not to yell. "Stop making it sound like I'm special to you when I'm not. You are only here to torment me, brag, and throw it to my face that you could do anything with your money. Bribe a manager to leave his office for you, buy the rest of the hours just to talk to me. Nathan..." Tacha was breathing heavily. "I beg you, it's exhausting for me. It's not good for my mental health." Tacha was beginning to cry. "Just leave me alone."

"Spend the night with me." Nathan responded quickly. He held Tacha's eyes, walking towards her. "Tacha I can't help talking that way. People around me don't seem to mind or correct me until you walk into my life Tacha. It's hard  for me to just act like I'm so nice and good. You don't even know me at all and that's the truth. But right now, for you, I'm pouring out all my emotions to let you know I really didn't come here so I could make those pretty eyes of yours cry. I didn't come here to get you angry again." Nathan held Tacha's cheek as he stared back into her eyes. "After this night Tacha, you won't ever see me again. I promise. I will be out of your life like we never met. Just the way you want it."

Tacha slowly moved his hand away, but he brought it back with his other hand, wiping her tears away. "Nathan." Tacha moved back. "We don't need to spend the night together to do that. We are already doing so well."

"Are you doing so well?" Nathan shot back at her. "Tell me you didn't think about me at all. The truth is, I've not been myself lately because I knew you were mad at me and wouldn't even pick my call or reply my text, telling myself it's better I make you see me that way than hurting my pride." He touched Tacha and her whole body vibrated that she felt it to her core part of the body. Same way Nathan tried to take his mind off the hardness between his legs, refusing to be distracted by her curves. "I want to make it up to you one last time."

Tacha ran away from him, trying to keep her mind sane. She raised her brows at him. "Where did you pack your car?"
