today ****EDIT****

Just had an amazing couple of days with Brendon.
Its been a month since we first started seeing eachother.

We went out the night before and had a great night out, he stayed again and then we spent all yesterday together, cooked dinner together ( Lamb Tagine with cous cous) and we sat on the deck and ate dinner with a bottle of wine, then went for a walk then came home and had a shower together, back onto the deck to finish the wine while he gave me a foot rub.  Bliss.

We talk and talk, we laugh till we are crying, & we have moments of serious.
He is always touching me, he never stops.
Everytime he looks at me he is smiling, he just sits and smiles and watches me.

He is so affectionate, gorgeous…I find myself looking at him and wondering where the hell he and this has come from. We have been working together for almost a year and now look at us I really am feeling just so blessed that he has come into my life.And I enjoy every second of moment that he is around me.

On a bad note, I am thinking that I am going to have to tell my boss, just there are now 2 people at work that know about us.  Both of them are really close friends of mine, like people I spend alot of time with.
One…. Owen, who was a private investigater for 10 years and just flat out asked me one night when Owen and I went out for dinner, he had picked up lots of little things. Stupid things like Brendon changing his end of night routine, ( on the nights he comes over to see me) that when Owen asked him if he was seeing anyone the way Brendon reacted when trying to tell Owen that he wasn’t…

It wasn’t even major stuff like how we react around eachother it was all little things that you wouldn’t even think about. 

The other person is a friend who has started seeing a guy that lives 2 houses down from me. 
He had just seen Brendon’s truck in my driveway, and popped in yesterday on his way home ( Brendon had just popped home to get something) and Jai said to me " its really nice to see the red car in your driveway" as he was walking out.
I text him about 5 minutes later and said that no body knows and please not to say anything, he text me back saying " its none of my business, nor anyone elses, and I am just happy if you are. I will never tell"…

So time is running out for this to remain a secret.
I need advice.
How do tell Chef?
Who I respect more than anything.
Whats going to happen?    I have no idea. Will I loose my job? What the hell will happen?
There a heaps of relationships at the hotel.
Heaps, people have married others that have met at work, but what about me, being Brendons boss.
I am the sous chef, second in charge.  Brendon is an apprentice, mature age apprentice. Is that going to be too big a deal??

But I know that I want to tell him, before someone else does.
I have to tell him….
This is small town, and we are the biggest employer is town, its only a matter of time, before we get caught by someone that likes to gossip….

Help
EDIT

When I got to work this afternoon, I was feeling so pananoid, every person that passed me in the corridor, I was thinking "Do they know"??

I walked into the office and went through my normal hours worth of handover with Chef, he was in a good mood and we were chatting and organising things, but the whole time he was talking, I was just thinking "You have to tell him"

Handover finished and then we were just talking about life when I locked the door and just said "Chef, I really need to talk to you about something"

He instantly thought I was leaving… I told him I wasn’t, but I was terrified to talk to him, I just explained that I really respected him alot, that it was my respect for him that brought me to need for him to hear from me, before he could have heard from someone else, That I was seeing someone from within the kitchen department,that that person and I had spent alot of time talking about it, that I realise how unprofessional it makes me look as a sous chef.  I stopped to take a breath, he just said "Are you happy?" 
I said just how happy I was and how this had changed alot for me, he said that he didn’t want to know who it was, he never asked me who I was seeing, just told me to not let it effect work, to not flaunt the relationship and for us both to be happy. And both be careful.

The man is amazing, I did honestly think that he would be ok with it. 
As him and I have a good relationship.
He knew that I wasn’t happy at work a couple of months ago, and that I have perked up alot since.
I was just really nervous that it could have gone either way, as I wasn’t 100% confident of my intuition.
But deepdown, I was thinking he will be ok, I won’t loose my job.
It was good, I went outside and called Brendon who is off today and told him.  He was nervous too, but didn’t know that I was going to do it today, nor did I, but the time was right.

I miss him tonight, we have spent the last 4 nights staying over between his place & my place.
He sent me a message saying that he was thinking of me, and what an amazing day he had with me yesterday.
Lucky… lucky me.

Is karma coming my way?
Is this a matter of what goes around…etc

If it is, Isaac, I hope karma is booting you up the arse everytime you get happy.
