''What's happening here? " Says, a very not so happy beautiful auburn haired lady who just suddenly appeared in the living room .
Her hair is a mess and still wearing pajamas holding a white pillow on her right hand hanging down the floor.
While Mia and Marianne didn't able move out of their current position Mia is on top of Marianne lying in between her thighs her night gown up to her waist and trying to punch her. While Marianne is holding Mia's wrist preventing it to land her face.
*Painter, baby I can be you muse*
(The background music still playing)
'How can she manage to be that beautiful even being just woken up? ' Marianne ask to herself.
*Cause you're the cigarette *
*And I'm the smoker*
Mia get herself off to Marianne and sat properly on the floor acting innocent after realizing their current position.
Marianne on the other hand still not moving.
*Even when the sun starts falling *
Marianne is just staring at Lily dumbfoundedly.
*Even when the sun don't shine'*
Mia smirk seeing Marianne's face
* I got faith in you and I*
'And so it seems.' Mia thought to herself.
''The two of you are so loud its was just 4 am in the morning. Can't you let me sleep in peace. I have class first thing in the morning.'' Lily continued.
*Cause this love is a sure thin-*
The room came silent when Lily pull all the plug she sees on the outlets.
And walk back to their room.
''Aren't gonna sleep?'' Says Lily opening door of their room again pertaining to Marianne.
That Marianne just obeyed with no questions to what her master's command and go to their room and leaving Mia alone in the Living room.
''Close but still out of reach, like always.'' Mia whispered before getting up clean their mess in the living room and got out of the place and go for run to get unnecessary thought out of her mind.
Bitter Sweet Cafe was written on the sign board hanging on the wall of Marianne's coffee shop. In just few months that this coffee opened it became popular not just because of the good tastes of coffee but also because of the model liked server's including the owner.
''You know , Rhian. I always wonder if this shop is a coffee shop or a club for perverted people.'' Mia stated to Marianne who is now making another coffee for Mia to serve.
''What do you mean?'' Marianne ask oblivious of Mia's statement.
''I mean look at that.'' Says Mia gesturing to look at the old man sitting at corner of the shop looking at their direction ,drooling.
Marianne laugh getting what Mia means earlier.
''Leave him alone , Mia . His old all he could do is fantasize .'' Says Marianne.
''Seriously?'' Mia's not believing Marianne's reaction to that.
''What? He's a customer, and a regular one." Marianne answered dismissing the topic that Mia started.
''Sure. '' Mia answered in surrender.
''You ugly perverted man.!!'' Loud shouts can be heard all over the place together with the sound of broken glasses and plates on the floor.
''Arrghh,, help this kid is crazy . Ahhh.'' That old man they are just talking earlier is now kissing the ground while Lily is twisting his arm on his back knees over his back pushing the man more on the ground.
Other customers customer gasp at the scene they are witnessing.
Hearing it the two ladies immediately get near them.
''What happened here?'' Marianne ask Lily gesturing her to get off the man.
''Oh, god thank you.'' Says the man relieved from Lily's harm.
Not understanding what Marianne's action mean Lily got out there hurt visible on here eyes but try to not show it. But Marianne knows more.
But it can wait for later. And she gesture the old man to sit and talk to her. she even offered him another set of coffee and a piece of cake.
''Okay the show is over everyone. You can now enjoy your coffee and snacks.'' Mia making the people calm and assure them that everything's fine.
John and Roderick came and ask Mia what happened before they arrived for what they have only seen was customers panic faces and the actual scene.
John is a part timer barista and Roderick was a night shift server both a student worker of Marianne at the coffee shop.
They are all talking at counter side while serving coffee and cakes to the new customer.
Marianne on other hand sat on the man table and accompany him there. The man is smiling thinking he won over Lily this time, but.
''I hope you like the taste of our coffee here, sir. And I apologize for what happened earlier .'' She started.
''Yes, I very much enjoy the taste of ..I mean the coffee. And I hope she won't do it again. I was just appreciating her beauty the girl is so full of herself when she is just a worker in this coffee shop. I could even by her.'' The man said like he's used to buying people.
Marianne gripped her pants under the table trying to suppress her anger and holding herself not to slaughter this filthy man right here, right now.
''Of course I will not let her do that again.'' Marianne said smiling.
''Would you mind if I ask you to go with me outside? '' Marianne continued.
''Wha-of course not. It would be my pleasure to accompany a beautiful woman like you, My lady.'' The man answered and immediately got from his set and gesture Marianne to go first trying to be a gentleman.
Marianne smiled at the man's acting.
Once they arrived in the parking space Marianne didn't move from where she stand as smiling gesture the man to get in his BMW i8 car.
A sly smile form in the man's mouth thinking Marianne was trying to get his interest.
The man opened the door only to be push hard on the other side car by a very Furious Marianne.
He groaned in pain by knocking his head on windshield .
The man didn't manage to speak because Marianne quickly gagged his mouth with a rolled envelope that she force to fit in the mans mouth causing muffled screams and his mouth slightly slitted and bleed.
That envelope was the one he left on his dashboard earlier before got into the coffee shop.
It was evidences he gathered to kept from getting caught of his illegal business. Like human trafficking and prostitution.
Marianne knows about that because she was the one who gathered it to investigate him for he was too suspicious in her eye sight.
But he didn't know it was her because she put it outside the door of a very desperate detective who is also greed of money.
''Next time I see your face again in my shop. I will be the one whose gonna rip your arms off of you including your eyes.'' Marianne warned him with venom in her voice.
''And don't ever dream that I will let my little Lily's hands touch your rotting skin again, Filthy old man.'' Marianne warned the old man.
''Nobody's allowed touching my family. I don't care if you are too damn rich that you can buy the world, but If you touches my little Lily again or who ever is close to me, I swear to all the demons in the world .That if that happens, I will find you even if you buy Mars to hide, I will go there and kill you.'' Marianne continued while gripping the man's balls and then punch his nose so hard that leave a cut in his nose bridge.
The old man is now crying while he peed on his pants unable to anything his mouth is bleeding hard breathing his became red from crying.
''Do you understand?'' Marianne ask the man whose having a hard time breathing.
When the man didn't answer she pull his blond hair push his face against the wind shield.
''Do you understand?'' Marianne ask again now she's talking in his left ear.
The man nod his head hard and muffles something on his mouth his saliva and the liquid in his nose sprinkled in the wind shield.
''What? I can't hear you ? Oops, I forgot you something your mouth.'' She says with a play smile on her face.
''AAsgghh-''The man screamed in pain when she pulled the envelope in his mouth without a warning and he puke with a small blood in it.
''Disgusting.'' Marianne blurted out seeing the whole feature now.
And she finally left the man in that stinking BMW i8.
When the man recovered from his misery inside his car he quickly get his pistol inside the comparted and got out of his car .
Holding the gun with struggle in walking because of his broken balls he follows Marianne not letting a lowly woman stepped on his ego.
Marianne was not lookin at her back and continued walking and the old man was so close and the man pointed the gun at Marianne back.
''Okay that's it old man, you lose your chance.'' Says the voice from a shadow behind him and twisted his head quick and he fell down and the person behind him caught him.
Marianne stop for a bit and the person holding the body also stop moving observing Marianne's next move but Marianne get on walking again after getting her phone from her pocket and answered the call.
The person holding the man sighed and dragged the sleeping man back to car in the parking place and drive the car taking it somewhere the person only knew.
Marianne decided to go through the back so she could clean herself before entering the cafe. But before she did she went to a slightly hidden part near the door to smoke.
But he was shocked to see Lily and Roderick sitting separately talking at the door at the back of the building. she hid herself in the overlapping layers of drums. And let the children make the most of the moment.
She sat on the edge of the floor and lit a cigarette. She inhaled it feeling the menthol flavored smoke and then exhaled it.
They look good together she said absently and blew air and smiled bitterly.
'That's it. I'll be her protector then and I'll be by her side no matter what and serve her all my life.
As loyal servant do.' She said to herself convincing it to believe that what she felt and realize this early morning was just a love to a sister she never had.
She doesn't even know how it is loving someone romantically for all her life killing and surviving was the only thing she knew.
'' I thought said to leave alone, '' Mia said finding Marianne sitting there.
''Shut up, Mia.'' Said Marianne cutting Mia from starting.
''O-kay'' Says Mia hands up giving the topic up.
''Now give this to shut my mouth up.'' Mia continued and snatch the cigarette on my Marianne's my mouth.
And there they shared smoking the cigar and cherish the moment.
