Chocolate
By Dominick May
The day started just like any other day, but there was a surprise for me when I got to work. They were having a celebration for the boss’s birthday. Work was cut short fir an end of the day meal. As I came into the break room, the smell of smoked meat and sweet caramelized vegetables.
That was the only thing I remember of the food, as there he was. Behind the desserts was a tall man with a dark blue tee on with the logo “Beefy’s” in yellow bubble print. His wide shoulders, thick chest, and arms made it look like the shirt was a size too small. His eyes passed over our group and paused on me. Then moved on to judging if there was enough sweet delights for everyone.
As I went down the line each one of the servers had a name tag that represented the foodstuffs they were serving. Like cow, chicken, and vegetable. I couldn’t wait to see my sweet lover to be.
“Haha!” Burst out of me. I was so surprised his name tag said “Chocolate.” He had a twinkle in his eyes and a half smile on his face.
“Is there anything you would like?”
“Oh, yes, I’m very fond of Chocolate.” As my eyes took in his whole body. Not only was he well built, with deep brown eyes, but his voice was deep and rich, which made my whole body heat up.
He leaned half over the table with his large, gentle hands he reached out to me. My anticipation of his warm hands to touch and caress me, made my heart race.
“Miss, your slice if cake,” slowly came out of his beautiful, plump lips. That’s when I realized what he said. The plate was in his hands. I thought his voice heated me up, but the burning embarrassment that ran into my face was hotter. He looked down at my plate and then back at me, and then turned to the next person in line.
Sitting down to calm myself, I finally looked down at my slice of chocolate mousse cake. There on the plate was a name Johnny and a number.
Oh yes, game on!
