“A job as a florist? That’s doesn’t sound too bad.”No, you are wrong!“Yeah, I guess,” I mumbled trying to sound convincing to Lisa.“I will drop by later-” she had only started to say when I stopped her with a sudden cry that broke through me, “No!”“Oh wow, that was surprising but why?” She asked sounding suspicious and I cursed myself to have raised her concern. I couldn’t really show her this dress that had been barely reaching my mid-thigh and was paired with thigh high socks and a sexy garter belt combination. Lisa would probably blow her top!“That’s because I am not really good at arranging flowers yet and I want you to come visit me when I am perfect at it, then I will gift you a bouquet with all the flowers that you choose.” The lie slipped out of my mouth laced with sweetness and flattery. It shamed me to think that I had been resigning to this but I really had no other option.I was considering taking this job because its pay was better than any other that I had ever appl
“You are a bad waitress.”Alfeo’s annoying voice snapped me out of my glare that I had been directing at Draven’s head. Looking back at Alfeo I said, “I didn’t even know that I would have to be one.”“As your instructor you are making me look bad, smile for the guests my belle,” he said taking hold of my hand that had been limply falling beside me. Jerking at his touch, not liking it even a single bit I glared at him to subtly tell him to let me go.The place had been too quaint and sophisticated to make a scene.“See that is not the expression that I want, smile for me,” he again adamantly said making me almost want to hit off that smile off his face, “Please.”As if that made things any better…But realizing that my only option was to give in I smiled and then repeated my question again, “What would you like to order, sir?”“See, I knew you could do it!” he cheered pulling me down by my hand as he kissed me cheek making me gasp and almost hit him when he pushed me back into my stan
Looking around once more I noticed that Alfeo had been flirting with another server and therefore wasn’t looking at me. I had hoped to borrow his power to get out of this situation without making a scene but even if it meant that I have to I would do that.I wasn’t a person who would keep quiet with someone else doing any kind of injustice to me.Glaring at the man in front of me I grabbed his hand and before i could realize what I had been doing as if it had been muscle memory or more an act of defense but a small crack could be heard as I unconsciously twisted the politician’s hand to the side.I didn’t even know I had this much power to actually be able to do so.His hold at once became loose on my hand and letting him go I watched as he silently tried to tend to his wound that he couldn’t shout out about in fear of making himself look pathetic and less manly.“You are going to regret this,” he bit out his words, face still slightly red from the pain that he tried to bear the pain
“Good job today too,” Diana’s voice bubbled in my ears as she came towards me. A smile blossomed on her face making me feel a little guilty.How could I possibly hate her when she was so nice to me?“Thank you, I have a lot of experience waitressing so this isn’t as hard, the only thing bothers me is that these people are all that I see behind a screen, facing them in reality leaves me a little star struck every time,” I said glancing at the last table that I had served of a famous actress.“Give it some time,” she said chuckling at my words but then taking on a bit of a serene expression she looked over at me and in earnest she spoke, “But I am glad you didn’t decide to quit that day. I was honestly worried; also I am sorry for not paying attention to you. It rarely happens that a customer misbehaves so I had been relaxed and Alfeo said he would take care of you, I shouldn’t have trusted him.”“At least we agree on that last point,” I jested trying to make her feel better about the s
I had been quick enough to support my body with my hands before I crashed directly down into the ground. My arms ached but at least I had saved myself from banging my chin and cutting it up.Turning around with one of my feet still in his hold I kicked his face with the other making him lose his grip and groan at once. He had pissed me with this move that he had done and rounding his body I picked him up by his foot and dragging his body back a little I then sent him crashing into the giant metallic bin placed against the wall.The asphalt and dust grazed against his skin and left scratches along his unprotected membrane making him bleed through it while the cussing that elicited out of him told me that the crash had made his body hurt. At least the rattling sound had been loud enough to signify that.“Silia?”A voice calling my name snapped me out of my murderous daze. The relief I felt on seeing Diana’s worried gaze fall on me made me stagger back and sit down. I didn’t care that th
“You have become really good at this,” Diana praised me as I presented the final bouquet I had made to her.I couldn’t help but beam at her compliments, feeling a sense of admiration at my own work, “Well, I had a good teacher.”My statement made Diana chuckle as she shook her head in denial but insisting at it I pressed, “No, you are really good; I didn’t know that you could do this. What you make,” I said pointing to the bouquet that was placed on top of the counter, “-is so beautiful that its making mine look shabby.”“Well this is a florist shop after all,” she said spreading her hands around to signify the presence of an array of beautiful flowers and plants that I had slowly been learning about for the past month. Taking away her twinkling eyes then she took hold of my hands, placing my bouquet aside and cloudiness fogged over the sweet excitement from before in her orbs.Caressing my band aid covered hand, a result to dealing with thorns from the flowers, she gently touched the
“So this was you plan all along!” I grumbled stepping out of the cab while smoothing my dress out and glaring at the neon sign of a famous club that she brought me to.“No, I swear it wasn’t, only planned this as an apology for what happened yesterday,” Lisa said shaking her head but when she saw my glare fixed on her she cleared her throat and admitted, “Okay fine, I wanted to bring you here but that that’s’ because I want you to find yourself a man. You need to get laid at the very least to loosen up!”“Yeah, why don’t you listen to her? I think what she wants is a less dangerous idea than what you have in your mind,” Nicholas said peeking out from his driver’s window as he gave me a low smirk, the kind that I knew was sarcastically hinting at my crush on Draven.“What dangerous plan does she have in her mind?” Lisa asked piercing a look through him to will him to say the truth and looking away slightly unnerved by her Nicholas said, “You know the one where she wants to spend her li
“Whoa, where do you think you are going, sweetheart?” Alfeo’s stupid face came abruptly in front of me making me halt at once and then take a step back.What was he doing here?“By the way very happy to see you here but Draven is busy right now, so why don’t you spend some time with me instead?” he asked taking a step forward and with each that he proceeded I was forced to move back to maintain a distance.Scum people had scum friends.“Yeah I can see how busy he is,” I couldn’t help but mumble at the scene that had been burnt in my brain and rippled hatred through my body.Did Diana know about this?“Well good then, let’s get away from here. Although it’s not a place where people like you can stay, it’s not within your affordable range, but since you are my present favorite I will be nice and get you whatever you wish to have tonight,” Alfeo said taking me by surprise as he covered the distance with one long step and snapped me next to his side.“That is indeed a charming way to woo
