"How long on that steak?"
I raised my voice over the sizzling pans, filled with foods that I'm cooking for the customers. It's been a month since, I opened my restaurant, slowly but surely. I was getting busy and busier, that money was stacking, that I kissed my first monthly made money with a kiss.
It was a decent amount, but I wasn't there yet to be like those well known one's.
"1 minute out chef!"
Yep, that was peter answering to me, I made him into my sous-chef. He was a quick learner, it's good that he was smart. He was friends with gwen but not with Cindy, confusing enough. Cindy was from another high school. But, seeing them fight crime wearing their signature superheroes outfits, side by side.
I think, that they may know of each other's identity.
"Alright garnish is in 30 seconds!"
I finished cooking my garnish, Peter's steak was nice and medium rare just like how my customer ordered.
"Here chef"
"Thank you, start up the korea-BBQ chicken"
"On it!"
Oh it made my heart swell in pride, hearing a character of marvel call me chef. I could puff my chest, Peter was a kind, gentleman young guy. It was good to make him my sous-chef. Plating the food, the door opened to the kitchen.
"Chef! Table 16 ready?"
"Yep! Take it"
I saw the beautiful gwen stacy, wearing the waiter outfit that I had my yandere's design. My girls have a better taste of fashion than me. That waiter uniform hugged her petite growing body nicely.
Gwen felt his stare, she smiled beautifully.
"Thank you chef!"
She left grabbing the order to give to the customer. Just like her, my three employees called me chef. During work of course, after hat they can call me max.
"How long on that chicken peter?"
"3 minutes chef!"
"Perfect!"
The speed, our flow, the connection, we were synchronized. In this kitchen we ruled it, finding our rhythm together. He did struggle at first, but that's for anyone starting out in the kitchen.
We finished that order and another figure came, she was the sexy Cindy moon.
"Cindy, table 19 here is done"
"Thank you chef~"
Wow did she just wink at me?
Grabbing the plate, I swear she was swinging her hips seductively, I must be dreaming. Maybe, not, I don't know. I looked behind me, peter was busy with cooking the next table.
Only for hours to pass, till night time fell.

"Alright everyone head home for the day, here's the extra pay for the busy day"
I handed 100 dollars for all 3. They make a decent wage, I'd say. I mean I'm paying them well, if you think about it. As waiters/servers, Gwen and Cindy are getting paid 18 hourly, plus whatever tips they get is theirs. Peter, my sous-chef was getting paid 26 an hour, he earned it.
Besides, need him to be motivated, I tip him too. When we become more famous, I'll increase it.
"Thank you boss!"
Peter said, he called me boss that felt nice. He was happy that wokinh here, got him to make a good amount of money.
"Don't be spending it to much on your nerdy stuff Peter"
Cindy said, causing gwen to giggle, making peter blush. He was thinking of a certain red-head.
[A/N: guess who it is?]
"Alright off you guys go"
"Can I talk to you Max?"
"Sure"
Peter didn't stay any longer leaving, Cindy eyed gwen with a certain glint. She left, leaving me and gwen alone.
"What do you need gwen?"
"Well...is it possible for you to convince my dad about me working here? It's just that he's not fond of me being home this late"
"Protective dad huh"
"Yeah..."
I mean, her dad was a police captain, I nodded.
"No problem anything else?"
Max didn't notice her feelings.
"Um....Nevermind"
"Alright then, you need a ride?"
"It's fine"
"You sure?"
I insisted, then again she was ghost-spider and can kick any guys ass. I'm a good boss, and it's good to be the good boss. That's how you keep your employees, not many do it.
"Yeah, it's fine thank you, have a good night Max"
"You too gwen"
She left, I looked at her back, I guess I have to meet her dad. I mean shouldn't be to hard to convince the man, I think? Well, maybe not since he is someone who is a police captain. Crime is rampant in new york.
Villains roaming around, I understand his actions of having her have a curfew.
**************
Gwen was on top of a roof top gazing at the restaurant 'Lezros dining'. She felt her heart calm down, this feeling she was feeling. It was growing stronger by the day, the moment she met him for the first time. It was like an attraction at first sight, it was weird for her. Not like she would fall in love on first sight with any guy.
But, seeing him, then spending time with him in his restaurant. Working under him, pay was good, it was busy sure.
(I-I want to get closer to him....I don't know this feeling in my chest, what am I feeling?)
Confused, she looked at her hands, then her wrist which she aimed at the ground of the roof. A web came out, then she pictured something in her mind. He was nice, gentle and caring, always good to be around him.
He was a good boss, lucky to stumble upon a boss just opening his business for the first time. Good pay out of nowhere too, waiters don't get paid that much in hourly. It was like in someway striking gold.
His scent, something about his scent it smelled good. She wanted to get closer to him, something around him attracted her. Hugging him was nice, chatting with him was nice as well.
Seeing that gentle smile on his handsome face, had made her feel obsessed with it. Spend more time with him was on her mind. One thing for sure, she wanted to tell her secret, to learn about him more and him learn about her.
(How would he react?....I hope it isn't bad, maybe he'll like it but it makes me nervous)
Such worried thoughts flowing in her mind.
(If he does like it and not judge me...maybe I could get him first before cindy, even though I know she's flirting with him a bit, as we know each others identities of our superhero life...becoming friends at that, I won't feel jealous of her doing what she does)
Thinking more deeply, she came to some sort of answer to attracting Max.
(I never asked if he had a lover....if he does, I don't know what I would do, thinking about it makes me angry, jealous?.....I think I should web him up somewhere secluded so he doesn't escape, for my to show him we're a better match....what am I thinking!?)
Gwen blushed hard, her thoughts growing wild by the second. She slapped her self gently, clearing those wild thoughts.
She quickly left to head off, to clear of her thoughts.
