Adrianna White
I froze when I saw Lorenzo Demario. What's worse is that his hand was holding my wrist tight like he was scared to let go.
I tried to remove my hand from his grasp but he held still. He looks like he's in a trance of some sort.
Just as I am about to meet his eyes,my eyes land on his wrist and I let out a gasp when I see the bracelet on his wrist.
The bracelet was on his right hand,where mine also was. He was clutching my right hand tightly and so I could see his wrist clearly.
We were wearing the same bracelets except he had "Adri" on it and mine had "Loren" on it.
I let out a gasp, struggling to breathe.
The only thing I could focus on was his eyes,his green forest eyes drawing me to him.
They were all I could see,all I could think of.
I felt the world fading away. My eyes still stuck on his. It felt like I needed to look at him to breathe.
I removed my eyes from his, having a flashback from our childhood.
We were running together in his backyard.
Suddenly I twist my ankle,
I was falling from a great height,I resigned myself to falling.
In the blink of an eye,Loren is there to help me.
I feel tears fill up my eyes,I struggle to hold them back.
"I'll always be here to catch you before you fall Adri, I promise"
I just gave him a kiss on his cheek before running away.
I look at him all grown now and think,"Would he catch me before I fall now or would he see me fall"
I moved away from him,I noticed people staring at us and I cleared my throat awkwardly.
I fumbled with my apron before regaining my professionalism.
"Hello and welcome to Cafe Delight", I muttered trying to sound cherry.
"What would you like to order?"I asked, putting on a fake smile.
I see the guy I stabbed last night trying to hold back his smile.
I pin him with a glare so ferocious that any trace of a smile on his face died down and I was the one with the smile now while he looked constipated.
I noticed Lorenzo Chuckling and I felt a blush cover my cheeks.
I looked away before mumbling," I'll be back to take your orders"
I continue serving other customers, cleaning the tables and wiping the floor.
I see Lorenzo motion towards me to come.
"Have you decided what you'll get now sir", I asked grimly.
Wanting to stay as far away from him as possible.
He motions for me to lean down and I do
I hear a gruff voice in my ear saying,"Surprise me"
The voice sends tingles down my spine and I fight the urge to clench my thighs together
The thigh guy ordered a coffee.
"I will show him", I thought, fuming.
He thinks he can come to the cafe and play me for a fool.
"Surprise him he said, well get ready to be surprised kind sir", I smirked before letting out an evil laughter.
I looked around to see if anyone saw me but I saw the whole crowd at the cafe staring at me.
I felt so mortified, casting down my gaze to the floor.
I served Lorenzo a blueberry milkshake and tarts while the thigh guy got a coffee and a pie.
I could see the thigh guy trying to hold in a laugh at his boss's food.
I saw Lorenzo send him a glare before his laughter completely wipes off,no sign of it anywhere.
I bite my lip to stop myself from smiling.
Looking at my feet,I feel a pair of eyes on me and I look up only to see Lorenzo staring at me with a hint of amusement.
I rolled my eyes before walking to the back to drop my phone. I come back out shortly, feeling Lorenzo's eyes on me throughout.
I walk back into the staff room for my break. I grabbed a tart and a blueberry smoothie, watching Lorenzo watch me from the corner of my eye.
As I entered,I could feel Daniel's eyes roam around my body. I felt myself tremble in fear. I'd have resigned but I desperately needed this job.
"Look Daniel I'm sorry for slapping you yesterday but I didn't feel comfortable with whatever you were trying to do" I muttered out with my head down.
"I shouldn't have done that Adrianna", He said giving me a tight lipped smile with his arm around my shoulder.
I saw Daniel staring at me but I didn't really pay him any mind, settling for a smile instead.
I rushed out after finishing my food. I continued serving and cleaning the tables. By 6:30,the cafe had started emptying out. I decided to pack my things. My shift was over.
I walked into the staff room. I grabbed my bag. I couldn't find my jacket. I kept on searching around for it.
I was on my hands and knees on the floor looking for it under the shelves when I heard the door open and shut,I assumed it was a light breeze.
I continued searching until I heard a click. The door had been locked. I jumped up hurriedly to hear a click.
Feeling tense and unsafe,I decided to check for the jacket tomorrow. As I'm about to leave,I feel a hand wrap around my waist and draw me to them.
I let out a gasp." W…what are you doing Daniel", I whimpered out.
He just gave me a sick smile.
"Do you know how long I've wanted to touch you like this?"He said, trailing a hand down my Cleavage.
I felt disgust well up within me. I struggled against him.
"Someone save me, please help me", I shouted and screamed pounding on the door.
He dragged me by my clothes before ripping the sleeve away.
I trembled still trying to escape before he ripped the second sleeve. I kept on shouting.
He pulled his pants down. Just as I was about to give up hope,the door burst open and my knight in shining armor or should I say shining suit barged in.
I tried to keep my eyes open. I heard the sounds of someone roaring something out, hitting something or should I say someone.
I could feel my eyes closing. I tried to stay awake but the darkness was threatening to take me.
My eyes landed on Daniel's bloody body before I succumbed to the darkness, falling into its welcoming hands.
Last thing I saw were those ethereal green eyes.
