Esther's POV
Omg I woke up late again why do I keep forgetting to set my alarm. Today I have to pick up my shift at the diner I work at. And I'm late Mrs Ling (the owner of the diner) .
She is going to be pissed she might even give me a treat. I put on my work uniform and left my house.
The diner is only two blocks away . Today was kinda chilly than other days.
As I was walking I saw John he was sitting in his usual spot on the pavement
I dug into my pocket and took out the change that I had and gave it to him.
I opened the door and stepped inside the diner . I was met with an angry Mrs ling .
"You are late" she stood with her arms crossed.
"I know I'm sorry it won't happen again"
"Oh trust me I know it won't because next time you will be fired!"and with that she left.
It was a slow day at the diner today. I was serving coffee to Mr lane who is a regular here.
The diner door opened and someone who I never saw before entered he wore a suit which made him look sharp he was quite handsome he had brown hair and hazel eyes.
I was snapped out of my haze when Ally another waitress here came over and told me to take his order.
I walked over to his table "hi what would you like sir"
He looked up at me with those beautiful hazel eyes "I would like some coffee with a little bit of cream and a little bit of sugar."
He had a British accent and his voice came out husky.
I returned with his coffee and gave it to him as I handed him his coffee our fingers brushed I felt a bolt of electricity and I felt butterflies.
He then left. I could not help but wonder who this man is and why did I feel so attracted to him.
The rest of my day went by peacefully. My shift was finally over and I left the diner and walked home .
When I was home at my doorstep there were roses and a card I opened my door and went in .
I saw that it was addressed to me and I opened the card
Dear Esther,
My love I'm writing this letter to let you know that I cannot stop
thinking about you . Since that day I saw you at that restaurant I knew you were the one
I knew that you were mine. Please don't be scared I won't hurt you.
And soon u will see me again.
Your love
And secret admirer.
Ok I was stressed I was scared I had so many questions going through my brain like how does he /she know where I live?how do they know my name? What they mean when they said that we will meet again?have we met before? I wonder is it the same person who sent me that message last night?
"Uhhhh" I was stressed out about it I don't know what to do.
So I did the number one thing that helps me relieve stress I put on my sports bra and some leggings .
I jumped into my car and headed to the gym. Yeah call me weird but that's my number one method to relieve stress.
And also yesterday I ate a whole pizza and I'm human so of course I'm gonna gain weight and I'm not one of those slim models I'm slim thick and if I didn't push myself to work out I would be more fat than I was than high school and trust me I had enough of that bullying.
When I got there I put on my head phones and turned it up and got started working out.
When I got home I took a nice long soak in the bathtub and I went to bed.
I have not used my phone for today because of work . I saw that I got a message from the private number.
Private number
I hope that u like the roses I sent you 🌹
I didn't want to come off as rude but I also wanted to know who he was.
Me
Yes i did they are beautiful thank you.
But can I ask one question who are u.
I waited for a while and then I saw my phone lit up it was the same person.
Private number.
That is good to know love
U can call me Elijah. Don't worry my love u will find out soon.
Goodnight sleep well ❤️
I sent a goodnight text to him and turned off my phone. I thought that it was kinda sweet of him and my life is kinda boring so maybe I might play along to this game because maybe it's just someone playing a prank or joke on me. Because let's face facts those things only happened in stories and books right? And my life is too messed up for anything like that to happen. And with that thought I drifted off to sleep.
Thanks for reading.
