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. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxXsItkp2m
I got up and took a long shower. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk7jNpDGUt
Suddenly I remember the half-naked man and I felt weird. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfHI1b8MuG
I shook my head.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbnHgrXWaS
“ Gonna be late for work.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpvptsgB7O
After I put my medium hair in a braid I put my uniform on and put my things in the bag. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnWrYcxoAK
Milo was still sleepy but I put some food in his bowl and kissed his head before going on.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnj8eVIpMU
Dogs, far better than humans. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlHAjliJj1
When I opened the door I almost shouted in surprise.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNc0XErPIU
The little girl from yesterday was staring up at me smiling. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I2etZ5ecf
I sighed.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3XFnEHRiy
“ I am honoured that you like my porch so much but I have to go to work.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBJBzuoTxf
She seemed bummed.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7oRYeV01r
“ My name is Rosa, what is yours?”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26nwTpwBMm
She beamed and smiled.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j4OLh8WUW
“ My name is Rachel.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVZpyCmsA7
She was such a joyful little thing.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WQDYDXU8t
I’m tired already. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWjqL8VlOt
“ See ya around Rachel.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeuYWUG44O
I opened my garage and stuck the keys in the engine. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOlQVRxSHz
“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. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvhaIZlmV3
“Um,” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgkXACO2GA
Shit forgot his name.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LD02VOujb
“ Trevor.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFDNEZNOhL
“Trevor, I have to go to work would you mind ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRgznh7XxT
He snapped from his trance and nodded.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCIexMZQYu
“ Sorry.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUSuzDTOq8
I shook my head.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyIFPdBTut
Somehow I know that this family is gonna cause me problems.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCVErYCJha
“ Oh yeah, Rachel wants to hang out.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8c5iRwHO3
I climbed my bike and looked at him.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS1rvBFxuK
“ No offence but I don’t hang out with little kids.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9DHkSWXoQ
He chuckled.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hMQharhhu
“ How about dinner ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCL74njcv7
“ I have work, but thanks.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOpsFI6mMN
I started the engine and the Ducati roared.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz3SBtVuHW
“ Where do you work ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrooaYsi1st
“ Is this an interrogation officer ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdUYBvMUmQ
I said getting a bit pissed.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRf9PTfF7S
“ No.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaVjatsn4p
“ Then if you please let me go, I did nothing wrong.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIDQM2xlai
I put the helmet on and stormed out of the garage not looking back.
When I arrived at work, Felicia was already waiting tables.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi6d1PVkmc
“ Good morning, sweet thing.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF1l3gxGi9
“ Morning Fel.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxW7ZSZkpZ
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ8RqiKQcD
A man opened the door of the kitchen.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAujID8RTvo
“Rosabella, how’s this morning doing you good ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYVp0ombXV
“ What’s with that language Darren ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tke4oTlK2
He chuckled.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03bQXcD0IJ
“ Don’t mind him.” A younger guy appeared from behind him. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLc2uBbJjV
“ Hey, Clark.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyK5pnOskJ
“ Morning Rosa.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWsEh3piuD
“ Quite the yapping and get to work,” Felicia said.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XZgsXHY5A
I sighed and put my apron on.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQg3IuFJE6
The day was long. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOQagne2de
Customers came in, ate, paid and went away.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltr2NSVVg7
Again and again. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Sbywgpc6
When night hit the windows, the people stopped coming. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJvSNeiqNa
I crashed on a stool.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNbn6d7kKH
“ Good work Rosa,” Clark said handing me a cup of water. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XSceiLHjN
Clark was Felicia’s and Darren’s son. He was at University and working shifts at his parents' restaurant. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SUNsx0Np7
I admire him. He is a few years younger than me and his life is planned bit by bit. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eEipbDRns
A chirm announced someone at the door. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhtOTHFo4y
A cute petite girl came running to us. Her long black hair bounced as she jumped. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl192iJK1G1
She was Clark’s girlfriend. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW9WPWHeS5
“Lucy, you are early today,” I said smiling at her while she jumped on her boyfriend. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSsyQ3lDpY
“ Rosa!” She yelled in my ears as she hugged me. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGaGOjbFfm
“ Someone seems overly happily today,” Darren said wiping his hands with the cloth. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcwOZpLtjf
She laughed. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD24ky6TmH
“ Just got amazing news.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCneUZFVvt
I got up and went to grab my bag while she told everything to her family. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVplJKtCl0
“Rosa, listen to this. Lucy’s going to be a movie star.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSd9YU8weq
“Wow, that’s awesome. I’ll have an autograph right now.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD6kyIFpHL
She giggled.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohbTan4uSD
I was happy for her I know how hard she worked for all of this. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcwMtgxvHt
Clark tell’s me everything. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMAnLrufKO
He really loves her. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMTd3E1x1h
“ I’ll be leaving now, see you next week.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGObhWcw6l
“ Why ?” Lucy pouted.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORx2UMvsAo
“ Took the weekend off. Need to go somewhere.” I smiled at her.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Ph29Gnql
I waved at them and climbed the bike. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYe6SIAm01
It wasn’t a lie, I really had to go somewhere. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Fv34LBKN
Sort off.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTuTUTwuZP
As the wind crashed into my body, I noticed how much I have free time now that I don’t have Jason. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw45cJ0t9ZH
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhUiZ3MTxF
And thanks to that I can have time for my other work.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsirQ8n8gH
I lost so much track that I don’t know how the excavations are going. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LJKeELCZm
When I arrived at the house, I pulled my phone out of my bag and called Steven.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VEiVBqLqw
“ Yeah ?” A tired voice responded.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1iIAxbdPF
“ You kept awake all night, right ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoC1TPiBAN
He chuckled.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBXZ2DSiHV
“ Well someone has to replace our main archaeologist.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFdDRqNYdq
I felt guilty.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd00Z4FqgvZ
“Sorry, I’m back tomorrow.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK05e1zns4l
“ Great. See you on the spot.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYln8cq8iwS
“ See ya.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuxuZngSKk
He cut the call. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK0DmlWl3b
The house was quite, Milo welcomed me as usual and I played with him for a while until he settled. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEPsNcuLhJ
I took a long shower and crashed on the sofa.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtUf3i9g8H
A knock made Milo bark. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jiiCNgUuJ
I sighed.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmZHtmWH0O
When I opened the door, I almost laughed.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WMRXxg5q2
“ What ?” Trevor asked.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIURW0u4LxP
Trevor and Rachel were smiling at me with a bowl in hand. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF3fgZ7yfW
“ We saw you get in and thought to invite ourselves,” Trevor said.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTha6sbLRo
I let them in without another option and they made themselves home. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsMEFLY0SB
“ It’s exactly like ours.” Rachel said running after Milo.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpdkJRmXsv
Poor Milo. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V8fqHCHED
Trevor inched closer.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5U57zp3T4
“ 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.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nuk7tYT8I
He shrugged. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qj8Ow6gtH
I sighed putting my wet hair in a bun.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNepPDtPVEt
Somehow we ended up talking about Rachel’s day at school. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQgJCg28p1
I put the dishes in the sink and sighed.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFXGxqak1T
“ She slept.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlMbBFZN3P
Trevor came from behind me grabbing a cloth to help me.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY2QMyfkms
“ Don’t worry about it, take her home.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma9dgaq7mC
He shook his head.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc6PevoPNO
“ You let us in and listened to her all night, it’s the least I can do.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAMLWS7Z8P
“ I used to listen to a lot more than that before.” I chuckled.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zpPp5DOU4
He seemed interested but didn’t ask for more. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6erDikPZz5
“ This is gonna sound rude. But tomorrow can she hang out with you for an hour ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfAmNrJWvS
I blinked at him astonished.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjCxEDUsmj
“ You actually want to leave her with a stranger? I could be a serial killer you know.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAs2pSbsH
He looked at me with such a look that I had to hold myself from falling. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ97AhCAyUn
“ You saved her already, plus you own a dog.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sTeGed2rS
I laughed once.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyWG9poO7w
“ Now that’s an excuse.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnpBNUZ7l6
He grinned, showing a row of beautiful white teeth.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpN3mpsmDK
“ I know that this is sudden but I got called at work and no one can take care of her.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAPk1BBk5C
I sighed, “ What time ?”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvFAoacwtt
“ Around 10 a.m ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qw6VusuV0
I put my chin in my hands thinking.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGwMlNb8kN
“ I guess I could go late for the excavation. Sure I’ll help.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C7ZkgSsRu
“ Seriously ?” He said sounding happy. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTzFLc9TGk
I nodded.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqiSTjRUNW
He laughed and grabbed me by my shoulder and twirled me around.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaO2ZmjLe3
I couldn’t help but laugh. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkapV9bN5e
When he realized what he was doing, he apologized and put me down slowly.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34iWbZFZXF
But when he put me down we were close. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFzy2mmxEP
I couldn’t breathe.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhgD5BiKHX
He was over a foot taller than me and he was almost hovering over me and his eyes scanned every inch of my face. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h8JUBczrA
Shit.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VtEyMzIKp
I backed away and rubbed my hand.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcRFxkVTGB
“ How long do you think it will take at work ?” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmgHZem6RD
He kept silent for a second and then cleared his throat.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxyzjjEgGD
“ An hour the most, I usually work at home but they needed my help with a client.”481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pxVOqLuuU
I nodded.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7frqFQzAG
He cleared his throat once more and walked to get his sister.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc1tgYlXFQ
“Well, um … Thanks again.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGI7J1PwN8
“ Welcome.” 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplW2IOpNHx
He nodded and let himself out.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MILpuaGwB
What just happened?
