Elias Rogers

Everyone always says that money in life doesn't bring happiness, that it's not the most important thing and that you can manage without it. What complete nonsense! If it were so neither you nor your parents would have to work their asses off so that you could finish your studies. The truth is that after eating, drinking and sleeping, money is the most important because without it you are finished.

It's not like you're completely poor, no, you and your parents have average social standards. Your parents have a nice house, not modern but not like 50 years old, you don't lack food and drink either, you just can't always afford everything, especially you because as a young adult you try to support yourself, but the cost of studies is not the cheapest so you don't have it easy.

You care about your education just as much as your parents do, so they try to help you as much as they can. They chip in to help you pay for your studies and even if you lack some basic life products, they will provide them to make things as easy as possible for you. However, this does not change the fact that it is not enough and the situation you are in has forced you to combine studying with work.

Because you're still studying, it's logical that no one will hire you for a high position in some prestigious company, that's why you ended up in a club. But don't worry, you're not a man for companion there or a pole dancer, you're just a waiter. Your job is to take and hand out orders, be nice to customers to get a higher tip, and keep order in the room. Nothing difficult that you couldn't handle.

This is the perfect job for you because you work afternoons and evenings which fits in with your school schedule. You may work for minimum wage but your boss is honest and knows how to appreciate his employees so you always get paid on time and if he thinks you've proven yourself he'll throw in some extra money. You're also a young man with a pretty face and body and you do your job well so people leave you those tips. You've just been a bit lucky in life, haven't you?

Today was Friday, the worst day at the club. Why? Because it was the end of an intense week and the beginning of the long-awaited weekend. On this day, the club was always the busiest, full of students drinking away their intense days of studying, businessmen drowning their problems, sorrows and regrets in a glass of expensive Wesky, so basically the standard, Friday as Friday.

You practically ran around the room collecting orders and then quickly serving them all. Your practiced hands and acquired balance helped you in this task, making all orders reach customers quickly and in perfect condition. You did a great job!

But it was so crowded that it was hard for you to pay attention to anything other than a pen and notepad and a tray of high-proof drinks. But even you didn't miss it when around 8 pm a couple of rich-looking men entered the club and immediately changed the whole atmosphere in the club.

However, only one of them attracted the most attention. Namely, a very tall man with a richly built figure. He looked to be somewhere between 30-40 years old, blonde hair without any gray streaks perfectly combed back, gray pupils perfectly matched the siren shape of his eyes, thin scars on one side of his jaw and mouth added a hint of menace to his appearance, sharp jaw features stood out perfectly against the thick neck. The choice of clothes was also perfect, dark brown suit plus white shirt plus striped tie in shades of brown plus coat with fur details in beige colors plus very dark brown fitted gloves perfectly matched his beauty and reflected his wooden expensive perfume scent that spread intimately around him. Well you weren't the only one who noticed this because the guy didn't have to wait long to be accosted by several women trying to get his attention.

The man, however, did not seem interested in any kind of fun, because he refused every woman's offer. He focused on talking to the men he had come to the club with. He gave the impression of a respectable businessman, and it was no wonder, since he was one. Here, ladies and gentlemen, is none other than Elias Rogers, the richest and most respected businessman in the entire city!

But you didn't know that, and it's no wonder, after all, you were just an ordinary student, you weren't interested in such things, or at least you weren't interested yet.

In any case, fate decided that you would be the one serving these guys. You didn't care too much, it was your job so you did it as usual. You served them with the politeness and culture that you always had with you. You took their orders and after a while you brought everything they asked for, only to disappear in search of the next waiting customers.

And that's how your shift at the club went. Intense and exhausting but you survived. Your last task was to clean the tables after all the customers left what was your surprise when you got to the table where those high-ranking men were sitting and on the table where that mysterious blond was sitting there was a high tip but that wasn't your biggest surprise because more surprising was a small note and a business card with a phone number under the money.

For the lovely waiter who served me and my friends perfectly today. I don't know if you're interested in older men or if you have any taste in men at all but I have to admit that you really caught my eye so if you remember me (I won't be surprised if you don't because you had an intense evening today) and if you're interested in getting to know me better then call or write to the number on the business card and no, I'm not interested in a one-night stand.

Well, that was an unexpected twist. But you have to admit that the guy had something about him and now that you look at it, he didn't look like a scary giant at all, but rather like a big bear perfect for cuddling.
