"I'm so sorry sir", Jamie apologizes spilling the coffee all over me causing me to hiss out in pain as the hot liquid came into contact with my skin under the thin piece of material...my shirt.

"Well that's officially the thousandth time you screwed up Jamie", I say through grinted teeth.

"I'm really so sorr--"

"Even with your pathetic apologies", I cut her off with annoyance clear in my voice.

She starea at me with tears in her eyes and her lip begins tremble, clearly not knowing what to do. Oh please, tears doesn't effect me.

"Just get out of my office, and never rerurn.", I dismiss her out of anger looking at my now ruined and wet shirt. "Useless", I muttered under my breathe.

A few seconds later my door bursts open, revealing my dad....Great.

He has a look of confusion written on his face, "can you please explain why your assistant rushed out of this building with tears rushing down her face", he asks rasing his eyebrows.

"I fired her", I shrug taking off my shirt, replacing it with another. I always keep spare clothing in my office incase I work through the nights.

He lets out a frustrated sigh as I face him. "You can't just fire assistants on a daily basis Blake. Jaime was the tenth one you dismissed in 2 days", he states waving his hands in the air.

"Well I wouldn't have to keep firing them, if you could just hire me someone reliable for once", I shoot forcing a smile, grabbing my leather jacket.

"And where are you going?", he asks just as annoyed as I am at the moment.

"Away from here", I mumble leaving my office and exiting the building. I let out a frustrated sigh at how stressful my life is running a company 24/7.

Getting into my red Ferrari, the engine roars to life the moment I start it, just wanting to get away from here.

Looking my watch, I'm not surprised to see it's already 3am. Driving down a long road, I spot a small corner cafè and the lights are still on. Great coffee is just what I need.

**Delilah**

Cleaning the counters, I laugh as I look up to find Danielle asleep with her hands folded under her cheek as a pillow, letting soft snores escape her lips.

Since it's Tuesday, it's Cole's turn to lock up the cafè, but he had to go leaving in a rush to an emergency call. So here I am taking his place...

Dani insisted to stay and keep me company. But she's not really doing a great job considering that she's already half dead.

"Dani", I say softly shaking her body to wake her up.

"Danielle come on"

"Dani", I whine shaking her more roughly and she jumps awake.

"I'm up, I'm up", she replies yawning.

"You can go home, I'm okay. I just have to do a few things then I'll be home soon", I say as she nods her head disagreeing.

"No way, I'm not leaving you here", she states stubbornly rubbing her eyes from her recent nap.

"I'll be okay, you need some rest for your dance residual tomorrow", I reason.

"Yeah you right, I'm exhausted. But lock behind me okay", she says standing up.

"I'll see you soon. And call me if you need anything", she says hugging me.

"I will", I say as she leaves.

The moment she leaves she warns me to the lock the doors which I do so she'll see I'm safe. She's so overprotective.

Cleaning the coffee machine, a blinding light shines through the glass doors from outside.

Using my hand to cover the light, I see a tall figure step out the car walking towards the front door.

The door tugs not opening since I locked it. And boy am I glad I did.

"Sorry we're closed", I shout and he groans frustratedly.

"Oh come on, can nothing go right tonight?", he groans again more to himself out of frustration kicking his foot in the air.

I walk closer to the door still not able to see his features, but only the muscular outline around his body. Wow.

"Rough night?", I ask opening the door letting him in. Note : I probably could get fired if Mary finds out I let a stranger, enter the cafè after working hours.

"Thanks", he whispers softly and I clearly take a glance at him.

Taking in his features. He has light brown hair, caramel skin, thin pink lips and hazel eyes. He is breathtaking. I hope I don't look like I'm gawking at him with my mouth practially hanging down on the floor.

  I think I stared abit too long and he raises eyebrow with a smirk.

"So what will it be?", I ask clearing my throat turning on the coffee machine, hoping he doesn't see my flushed cheeks.

"Black coffee", he says rubbing his temples and takes a seat at the counter opposite me.

Filling the grinder with coffee beans, I soon hand him his coffee.

"Thanks for not spilling it on me", he says with a chuckle and I give him a questioning look.

"Nevermind, I just had a very long day that's all", he waves it off clearly not wanting to elaborate.

"So what's a beautiful girl like you doing all alone in a small cafè at 3am", he asks. I blush at the fact he called me beautiful, he must have noticed me blushing and sends me a heart melting smile.

"So what's a guy that does what ever you do, doing at a cafè at 3 in the morning", I fire back as he chuckles sending shivers down my spine.

"Well played--wait you don't know who I am?", he asks amused.

"Uhm no you didn't mention your name", I say as he smiles.

"Blake Co-- , "

"Blake", he introduces extending a hand.

"Delilah, Delilah Rose", I say shaking his very firm hand.

"So what do you do, besides work in a tiney cafè?", he asks looking around.

"Hey I really like working at this tiney cafè", I reply offended and he just sips his coffee waiting for me to continue.

"I sing", I shrug and he looks up at me.

"Oh really, where do you perform?"

"I actually performed at the fountain this morning down in towns square", I say with a smile.

My smile soon fades as laughter fills my ears. "You're sure are funny, so no really where do you actually perform?", he asks in between laugher.

"I already told you", I say annoyed folding my arms and his laugher fades into thin air.

"Oh you weren't kidding", he says weirdly slipping his coffee as I glare at him.

"It was for a confidence boost", I blurt out as he raises his eyebrows.

"My bestfriend Danielle forced me to sing in public, saying I will be more confident if I perform infront of random crowds", I state.

"Well I think that's very brave of you, Delilah", he says finishing his coffee standing up getting ready to leave.

"It was really nice talking to you Delilah", he says looking into my eyes before placing his bill into a pouch.

My eye widen as I see he paid a with $100 bill. "The coffee is only $1", I shout before he exists.

"Keep the change" he says opening the door.

"Thanks", I reply and he nods.

"Wait", I shout realizing he never told me what he does. But by the looks of it....I could tell he's probably has a lot of money. Maybe he could be a doctor or something .

He stops before exiting turning his head to look at me.

"You never told me what you do", I say as he smiles.

"I'm sure you'll find out soon sweetheart", he says with a wink as he leaves driving away in his gorgeous Red Ferrari with a roar.
