Evelyn POV
Foreshadowing: { It was funny how I got another chance to live; I remember my past clearly, and I finally got my freedom. Right now, I'm 28 and already have a husband. My husband was really caring and sometimes overprotective. His name was Hemingston. We had a 1-year-old son, his name was Kevin. This story will be about my past. }
My name was Evelyn, but I liked people to call me Eve, since it's short and quick. I work as a waitress in a restaurant, House of Bamboo. You might ask why the owner of this restaurant put that name? Well, it's because this place has lots of bamboo trees, but this primary place is for sushi. And I am actually in love with sushi.
I was about to walk to a table to ask if they were ready to order, and boy, at that table, there were 5 handsome men. But right now, I'm not looking. Yet... I want to focus on studying first.
"Hi! Are you ready to order?" I asked politely. Suddenly, I saw a man that sat closed to the window have one eye patch, and from the look, his aura was scarier. All of them wore black clothes, and out of all places, why the heck do they eat here? They look like they're from a gangster.
"I want Tekkamaki, Inari, and Amaebi, please." A red hair man said.
"Yes." I said and wrote it down. "Anything else?"
"I would like California Maki, Masago, and Futomaki." A black hair guy said.
"And that's all." A man with one eye patch said.
"Yes, are there any drinks you want?" I asked.
"2 cokes, 2 sprites, and 1 root beer, thank you!" One eye patch man said.
"Got it. Your order will come soon." I smile. And as I walk away, I could feel the man with one eye patch keep staring right at my soul with his sharp eyes, which made me uncomfortable.

As they finished with their food, I bow to them and clean their area. This restaurant has lots of customers, but the owner had few workers, since he thought that 10 workers should be enough. My work hours are usually from 9 am through 7 pm. Right now, I'm waiting for my best friend to go home together. My home is only 3 blocks away, but my best friend insists girls like me can't walk alone at night.
Well, let me introduce my best friend to you a little, his name is Hemingston, and we know each other since we were in middle school. He always protects me whenever someone bullies me, I appreciated it a lot.
"Hello??? Daydreaming girl???" I heard someone said. I look up to see Hemingston staring at my eyes and laughing. "You done daydreaming? If you're not done, I'll take you home and you can keep daydreaming at your house."
I lightly hit his chest. "Oh, shut up. Let's go before I kick your ass to the moon," I demand.
"Haha, what are you dreaming about? Are you dreaming about me, girl? If so, dream about me tonight." He winks and smirked as we walk down the street.
"You want me to kick you? Or you want me to tell your mom, heheh, about that thing?" I grinned back.
"Hey!! I already gave you the winter snow globe, you can't go back to your words!!!" He yells at me, and I laugh.
"But I didn't say I promised though. I just told you that if you buy that, I'll not tell yet." I laugh and he frowns like a baby. "Thank you for taking me home, Hemingston. Good night, make sure don't pee in your bed again next time!" I waved and smirked.
"Fuck you dude." He said and wave back. "Good night little Eve."
What a long day, every day is the same. I'll go back to college soon, it's summer right now, I want to become a doctor, that's why even though I work at the restaurant, I also have to study at home too. I'm only 21, when I graduate from college, I have to study for years to become a doctor. Night readers, night neighbors, night universe, I am sleepy now.
