The next day I woke up with a huge headache. Thinking about work didn’t help either. Bussing table at a local family dinner wasn’t the best solution for a twenty-two-year-old girl but they took me in even after my background. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzgDjCGalg
I got up and took a long shower. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyVIh6AQbL
Suddenly I remember the half-naked man and I felt weird. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Qlhefl7w
I shook my head.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhW3SGXAJV
“ Gonna be late for work.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsqdqo458q
After I put my medium hair in a braid I put my uniform on and put my things in the bag. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zdQ5pBr9L
Milo was still sleepy but I put some food in his bowl and kissed his head before going on.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxXjhNaYmT
Dogs, far better than humans. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeAPyfDSny
When I opened the door I almost shouted in surprise.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzegjFczcV
The little girl from yesterday was staring up at me smiling. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXN7OAmlRg
I sighed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvjUWp8RRx
“ I am honoured that you like my porch so much but I have to go to work.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadNezMyxCB
She seemed bummed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91SopcMQTn
“ My name is Rosa, what is yours?”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnc4JwggQ6
She beamed and smiled.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kPWQHHLys
“ My name is Rachel.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcL2H2Csg2
She was such a joyful little thing.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTllUJEwUlL
I’m tired already. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdatEa0IFZY
“ See ya around Rachel.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhpUO7hvZw
I opened my garage and stuck the keys in the engine. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJbooz3W7
“Dang, you own a Ducati.”I jumped in surprise.
The man from yesterday was looking at my bike with a huge smile on his face. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MUYBgYppo
“Um,” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yj7FOsapx
Shit forgot his name.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa6VrXDYmj
“ Trevor.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHdfVG2Awf
“Trevor, I have to go to work would you mind ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscJkw6yU3B
He snapped from his trance and nodded.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVAjJRrxgo
“ Sorry.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NOWUUrBb5
I shook my head.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36immajapv
Somehow I know that this family is gonna cause me problems.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqtnEPE0fc
“ Oh yeah, Rachel wants to hang out.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XFsbvAoHO
I climbed my bike and looked at him.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdmUNQJiFc
“ No offence but I don’t hang out with little kids.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR0126QzlR
He chuckled.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0yJutWD8j
“ How about dinner ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi1CKWauvh
“ I have work, but thanks.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft5uQwsJs8
I started the engine and the Ducati roared.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ854wRlembf
“ Where do you work ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF6nh2y6G0
“ Is this an interrogation officer ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3mHkhmLlB
I said getting a bit pissed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡendfl4RBhn
“ No.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ004MLgQ4n3
“ Then if you please let me go, I did nothing wrong.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYccSi6q2i
I put the helmet on and stormed out of the garage not looking back.
When I arrived at work, Felicia was already waiting tables.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71AAsKQPCY
“ Good morning, sweet thing.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WrBXUxvwm
“ Morning Fel.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbC91DESDu
Felicia was a middle-aged woman who took me under her wing. She and her family run this place and it’s famous all around town.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgLzrjSYqN
A man opened the door of the kitchen.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXsnsRfP5u
“Rosabella, how’s this morning doing you good ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXYplFwsjW
“ What’s with that language Darren ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VjEHc4ah8
He chuckled.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORGE8woO7o
“ Don’t mind him.” A younger guy appeared from behind him. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRS2JLb8cZ
“ Hey, Clark.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhF2n4neUB
“ Morning Rosa.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePmam3HHlV
“ Quite the yapping and get to work,” Felicia said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4pKLb8lO8
I sighed and put my apron on.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkFTe67zIX
The day was long. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw8TNVAh2G
Customers came in, ate, paid and went away.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Ew40sPXG
Again and again. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56KeBa69uU
When night hit the windows, the people stopped coming. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8sp1OmcjL
I crashed on a stool.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlrLWg5Fsh
“ Good work Rosa,” Clark said handing me a cup of water. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqge3Eqp5QZ
Clark was Felicia’s and Darren’s son. He was at University and working shifts at his parents' restaurant. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2uMfzn2Qi
I admire him. He is a few years younger than me and his life is planned bit by bit. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcKf6z1sgT
A chirm announced someone at the door. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIosFtWzgnu
A cute petite girl came running to us. Her long black hair bounced as she jumped. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadxKVBsLMb
She was Clark’s girlfriend. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKwy3gI3Sz
“Lucy, you are early today,” I said smiling at her while she jumped on her boyfriend. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso00L8Pvm4
“ Rosa!” She yelled in my ears as she hugged me. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCzVXRqaZJ
“ Someone seems overly happily today,” Darren said wiping his hands with the cloth. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcgpt6V98j
She laughed. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5vM3yOkmO
“ Just got amazing news.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOSu5dpxJm
I got up and went to grab my bag while she told everything to her family. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfOnAinKVy
“Rosa, listen to this. Lucy’s going to be a movie star.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntPeYXhYkK
“Wow, that’s awesome. I’ll have an autograph right now.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcun3JPGBIi
She giggled.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqZD7uOrza
I was happy for her I know how hard she worked for all of this. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQMILfxild
Clark tell’s me everything. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVtJNVeJB5
He really loves her. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRYoTmGmyN
“ I’ll be leaving now, see you next week.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTBRVM0niZ
“ Why ?” Lucy pouted.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKT5jycubj
“ Took the weekend off. Need to go somewhere.” I smiled at her.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwVf7PdB0S
I waved at them and climbed the bike. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRqqrdRLAZ
It wasn’t a lie, I really had to go somewhere. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIYBq3Xhf5
Sort off.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrW8IlyUon
As the wind crashed into my body, I noticed how much I have free time now that I don’t have Jason. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS3lfTGcZs
Jason used to make thousands of plans, in fact, I took the weekend off because he was planning a trip but ended up breaking up with me instead.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPPXQjuetW
And thanks to that I can have time for my other work.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUZ9CpCIDh
I lost so much track that I don’t know how the excavations are going. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6SYdAm6lO
When I arrived at the house, I pulled my phone out of my bag and called Steven.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu3vNdRoMP
“ Yeah ?” A tired voice responded.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeSy5fuCnR
“ You kept awake all night, right ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4q7YZNt5S
He chuckled.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2FGG28zxh
“ Well someone has to replace our main archaeologist.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv6Z1iL4JT
I felt guilty.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOtHmzyHRQ
“Sorry, I’m back tomorrow.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosR1tJ0d7O
“ Great. See you on the spot.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyeimI5Itu
“ See ya.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUNHGsev4f
He cut the call. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKOrFqAdWU
The house was quite, Milo welcomed me as usual and I played with him for a while until he settled. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb32i4Iu3Zy
I took a long shower and crashed on the sofa.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ7rxUg7Q7
A knock made Milo bark. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWBSp2YDXh
I sighed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnPE6EnM6K
When I opened the door, I almost laughed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgml8sU6XKB
“ What ?” Trevor asked.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiIsL9GNnr
Trevor and Rachel were smiling at me with a bowl in hand. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO9VNru5wP
“ We saw you get in and thought to invite ourselves,” Trevor said.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaKVv2t9B8
I let them in without another option and they made themselves home. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5MxZpMceu
“ It’s exactly like ours.” Rachel said running after Milo.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBBBBcydGW
Poor Milo. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6phzRnwpDA
Trevor inched closer.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqQe1u3xIR
“ Sorry to barge in like this but Rachel hasn’t shut up about you and thought better to satisfy her so she would shut up.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNkGHfvEKZ
He shrugged. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtxBMmY3yt
I sighed putting my wet hair in a bun.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocr4dYc16U
Somehow we ended up talking about Rachel’s day at school. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKb4b1D2Cf
I put the dishes in the sink and sighed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtJ4I8FRzW
“ She slept.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTHiWcii18
Trevor came from behind me grabbing a cloth to help me.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8tGkQWn7M
“ Don’t worry about it, take her home.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgusWaMAS5w
He shook his head.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApeM1LMdHI
“ You let us in and listened to her all night, it’s the least I can do.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVWL2EFr07
“ I used to listen to a lot more than that before.” I chuckled.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQcccxjUqb
He seemed interested but didn’t ask for more. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipTXBVN8Nt
“ This is gonna sound rude. But tomorrow can she hang out with you for an hour ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSI4DUDmIG
I blinked at him astonished.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHmxaZilxy
“ You actually want to leave her with a stranger? I could be a serial killer you know.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B3J1nveyj
He looked at me with such a look that I had to hold myself from falling. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzYNpopsfg
“ You saved her already, plus you own a dog.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDD5LvEcnO
I laughed once.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgsl4GWxCe
“ Now that’s an excuse.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYi8dDwwHD
He grinned, showing a row of beautiful white teeth.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ndskNnhR
“ I know that this is sudden but I got called at work and no one can take care of her.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hm769k5nd
I sighed, “ What time ?”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJmZxBbYlS
“ Around 10 a.m ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7RxesOlqD
I put my chin in my hands thinking.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkXQDbL3OD
“ I guess I could go late for the excavation. Sure I’ll help.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJZGWVamks
“ Seriously ?” He said sounding happy. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b7wuYhie2
I nodded.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46S9SaJ5qv
He laughed and grabbed me by my shoulder and twirled me around.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2CQo80fH9
I couldn’t help but laugh. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeAwVIsF50
When he realized what he was doing, he apologized and put me down slowly.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhkRQlPrgS
But when he put me down we were close. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpOWgp7mRs
I couldn’t breathe.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPQzVwcG6I
He was over a foot taller than me and he was almost hovering over me and his eyes scanned every inch of my face. 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcnu2C8i3R
Shit.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAnxalbvUX
I backed away and rubbed my hand.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsG1j3vuKg
“ How long do you think it will take at work ?” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0rWXfJ7n7
He kept silent for a second and then cleared his throat.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5qdYEM1Sn
“ An hour the most, I usually work at home but they needed my help with a client.”441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zAUjk2nfp
I nodded.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEAIdLaGkS
He cleared his throat once more and walked to get his sister.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0sfSef76T
“Well, um … Thanks again.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xi9kzsa1n
“ Welcome.” 441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASQu4F8NPu
He nodded and let himself out.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB5dEOFx9q
What just happened?
