He had already caused her a great deal of distress and caused her to be in a state of internal turmoil.
‘God, I’m so tired. When will Lorelei come back from her break?’ She internally complained just at the same time her stomach coiled with hunger.Even though she was beaming as she served the customers, seeing the never-ending line made her cry internally as the conversation continued in the same vein. Rachel fought the scowl to emerge from her face as she punches in the orders coming from the last customer and readied the monitor for the new order. In her peripheral vision, a male customer patiently waiting for her to finish what she was doing with the cash register.She quickened her pace and put a smile on her face, she raised her head to greet the new customer, saying their tagged line, “Hello, welcome to Cloud-Nine Coffee shop, what is your order?”However, her eyes went wide when she saw the man that stood across her. She wasn’t expectiCraig only laughs at her, patted her head using his ketchup-stained hands. Rachel gaped at him and smack his hands away from her, then both of them burst into a fit of laughter. After they finished their hotdog in a bun meal, they still got left a good fifteen minutes before their break time is over and they are now sitting on a long bench near, enjoying the cold weather. “Thanks for the treat, Craig. Soon enough it will be my turn to treat you and Lorelei.” Rachel said smiling and leaned further on the bench and lift her face in the air, letting the cold air touches her nose. “You know it’s nothing. I can treat you whenever I wanted.” Her friend replied, inserting his hands on the pocket of his woolen coat. He was also wearing his beanie hat, though the tip of his pink-tinged ear pokes. Craig let out a loud sigh, blowing a cloud of mist from his nose as he turns his gaze to her, his face twisting with interest, “Anyways, that man from last night. I don’t think he’s just an ordinar
Not that she wanted the police to find out and investigate the crime scene, because she's certain that the traces would lead them to her and complicate matters further, especially given the fact that she's just a migrant refugee coming from a war with no connection to anyone that would save her from getting out of trouble. Furthermore, she doesn’t know how to explain to the authorities how they were killed. Claw marks were all over the places, and no ordinary human being could do such thing. Except for Dylanyy, and he wasn’t a normal human being. In that case, no one would ever believe her story. She’s just starting a new life in a new place, things like that aren’t good for her. However, Rachel couldn’t help but be left in wonder as to why it was too quiet. Is it possible that Dylan had something to do with it? He must have cleaned up the messes so that no one would know what he had done. “Are you okay? You became quiet all of a sudden.” Craig’s voice took her out from her trance.
It kind of insulted her, but these foods are in a different argument. She stared at the meat, the corner of her mouth salivating at the juicy red complexion, and her stomach growled loudly by the sight of a good amount of foods stacked in her new refrigerator. “Damn! You’re making me hungry.” She groaned, eyeing the meat with ravenous intent. Her fingers drummed on the ref’s handle, swallowing the saliva that had accumulated on her mouth. After a brief period of self-deliberation, her subconsciousness finally comes around to her side. ‘Fine. Cook that fresh beef meat. Honestly, it looks tasty.’ “Now we’re talking!” She gleefully squealed, taking out the pack of meat in a speed of light, murmuring to herself when she realized she was having an internal war with her own being,“Heavens! I’m going crazy...” ....Dylan watches her at the corner of her apartment while conversing with herself, debating whether or not she should accept the meat that he had purchased for her. It takes e
Rachel didn’t give Dylan a chance to explain himself and drive him off outside her bedroom, smacking and pushing him with a pillow,“Take it back then! | don’t want any of it!” “Go!” She cried out with one last push until Dylan stepped out from her room and slammed the door shut in his face. She was panting really hard. Her heart thudded in her chest like a thousand galloping horses. She leaned her back against the door, her tears kept on streaming down her cheeks. She didn’t want to cry. However, she wasn’t in control of it. They were an open well that kept on overflowing no matter how hard she tried to wipe them dry. He made her feel uncomfortable. She thought he was a burglar that came into her house and would mean her harm. She thought she was going to die, rape her dead body. There were so many things that were running in her head right now. She never sensed his presence. She didn’t know how long he was staying inside her apartment. He invaded her space once again. First and
A skittering footstep came closer to then, and Helen raised her gaze to the girl in pink pajamas with a white box in her hand. “What happened, Dy?” Stacey dropped down to her knees as well, after handing the medicine box to Helen. Worry etched on her face, replacing all her sassiness aside. “It’s nothing potato. Go back to your room and do your assignments.” Dylan offered him a forced smile, reached his good hands, and patted her on the head. “Well, knowing that you weren’t acting like yourself made me lose my focus.” She scoffed, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. The corner twitches as she scrutinizes him, “Now tell me, what the hell is going on?” “I’m just having a bad day from work. I promise this has nothing you should be concerned with.” Dylan said, lowering his gaze to his wounded hand, which is now Helen was cleaning. “Why do I feel that you’re keeping secrets from me?” Stacey chimed, pouting her lips in defiance. “If there are any secrets that I’m keeping, it’s be
Craig halted with his steps and stared at her face. His eyes squinting while his gaze fixed on her lips. Rachel got conscious a little bit and averted her eyes on him. “Anyways, did you use some lip plumper on?” He voiced out his perplexity, still looking at her lips with befuddlement. “What’s a lip plumper...?” Rachel didn’t get it at first. She touches her lips and then realizes what he is talking about. Her cheeks are even more flushed as she recalls the events that led up to it all, “Oh, that’s right. Yes. Curiosity got the better of me, so I tried some on.” She quickly reasoned out, urging her feet to continue walking, and dipped her head, making her hair blocks the view of her flushed face. ‘Damn that wolf!’ She internally muttered, cursing on Dylan’s name for doing it to her. “It suits you, but your natural lips look better,” Craig commented, matching up with her steps and sweeping her hair off her face, and tucking it behind her ears. “Do you ever run out of compliments?
Rachel blinked, averting her gaze away from her, and pretended as if she didn’t see what she did, then putting on an innocent expression, asking the woman, “What is it, ma’am?” “I want you to clear my table when I get out.” She replied, taking the table napkin and putting it in her lap graciously. Rachel knows why she wants her to clean her table. She deliberately put the money under the plate for her to take it undetected. She chewed her lower lip as she pondered for a moment. She remembered what Martin had said to her about morals and a code of conduct during the decorum, and that he had specifically instructed her not to accept tips from customers. If she is ever caught, it will put her job in jeopardy, and her track record will not be as clean as she would have liked it to be. “Ma’am...” She was about to decline, gripping the metal tray she held tightly, but the woman held up her index finger, cutting her off. “Now, young lady, please understand that I am insistent.” “Alright
The exhausting day went through. From the opening shift, Martin asked Rachel to extend and take overtime, both Craig and her. She couldn't say no since she would receive night differentials to compensate for it, even though she was already exhausted from running back and forth to the kitchen and bringing the customers' orders to their table. She thought she could go home early and reminded herself to buy a padlock to replace the broken one using the tip given to her. Unfortunately, Martin called for her last minute when she was about to punch out in her daily time record. After Helen finished with her orders, Rachel made sure that she would be the one to clean up her table. Though she hasn't expected that she will give her a hundred-dollar tip. She kept her surprised expression to herself and pretended that she was wiping the crumbs off the table. She cupped her hand at the edge of the table and swept the rag across the table before taking the money and slipping it between her finge
