Alejandro's Possession

Part 6

Cristina POV

"Thank you, Preciosa," and with that, he takes a seat at a table by the corner. (Precious)

10 minutes later

"I will take over now. It's your break time" Rosa comes from behind and pats my back. "Thank you, Rosa," I give her a small smile. I take my apron off, place it on the cabinet, and take a seat with my best friend. "Hey," I say, sitting. He puts his phone down and gets up to give me a big hug as he picks me up. "Hey, we did this already," I start giggling. I look over his shoulder and see the third guy staring at me. I quickly turn away and focus my attention on my best friend.

He puts me down. "How are you doing, Jewel?"  'Jewel' is my nickname that he gave me years ago. I did my little research, and it turns out it means precious and important. I thought it was super cute. "Pretty good, just trying to move on from the recent incident we had," I say, looking down at the table. Not too long ago, our family home burned down. They don't know what started it, but they are still looking into it. We weren't home at the time, so we have no clue what could have created it. We moved into my aunt's house right after, which is about thirty minutes away.

"Jewel, I told you I'm here if you ever need anything. I'm here now, and if you want, you can stay over at my house," he says in a soft voice. "But bubba, I don't wanna bother you. You just came back from your trip, and you need some time to relax," I say looking back at him. "You won't bother me at all! Some company won't hurt," he looks at me, almost pleading.

"Fine" I reply, and he looks at me in excitement. "Almost forgot how could I do you want something?" I ask him.

"Su-" he gets cut off by the door ring, and I quickly look up and see him. The same man from last night.

There he was, standing in the front with another man. Hazel eyes. He was wearing what looks to be a super expensive suit with a nice gold watch. His hair was slick to the side, and he had a freshly shaved face. He turned around to face me, and his light blue eyes looked right into my brown ones. I quickly looked and brought my attention back to Rafael.

"What's wrong? It's look like you have seen a ghost," giving me all his attention. Only if he knew this man is far from a ghost.

"Oh uh nothing. Do you want something?" I lie

"I'll get a blueberry muffin please. Here," he pulls out his wallet and hands me a five dollar bill. "No bubba, this one is on me." I get up and start walking to the counter when I feel someone staring at me. I look over to the table where the other men are, I see Mr. Aguilera looking at me with a slight smirk. I turn away  and get the muffin and pack it up. I take it over to Rafael and place it on the table. "Here you go," I smile.

"You're the best," he gives me a huge smile. "Jewel, I have to go to the house and unpack I'll catch up with you later ok." He gets up and turns to me, "take care ok" he kisses me on the forehead and leaves. I wave by to him from the glass window and walk back to the register. Rosa tells me to cover table seven. I look over to the table, and just my luck, it's their table. 'His orders' she added at the end.

Why can't they just come to register like their friend did.

I grab a notepad and a pen and walk over to their table. I stand in front, and like last night all the attention is on me. I get a bit nervous as they all stare at me, but I was able to speak smoothly without stuttering which is surprising. "Hello, what can I get for you?" I look around at all three. I look right at hazel eyes and he gives me a small smile and I return it with a small blush.

Did I just blush?!  Embarrassing

"I'll get a blueberry muffin please," says hazel eyes. I really wanna know his name for I can stop calling him that. I look over to Mr. Aguilera, "what can I get for you sir?"

"You" he says with a smirk

What?! Did I hear that right?!

"I'm sorry, what?" I ask nervously. I'm in that situation where I don't know what to say and it's super awkward. The three of them let out a chuckle which makes me blush in the embarrassment. I look down to the table to escape the look of his eyes.

"I'll take a croissant," he says and I write it down quickly and head back. I start preparing their order and I feel his gaze on me. I start feeling uneasy but I just ignore it. I grab their orders and take them to their table. I place the bread down and start walking when I hear one of them call me.

"Ms," I turn around and see Mr. Aguilera looking at me then my name tag "Cristina are you looking for a job? I'm in need of workers and you look like the right person for the job."

I look at him confused on how he knows I'm looking for a job. I mean I don't even know this guy.

I mean a job is a job right? What could go wrong

"Yes I am" I reply

"Good" he says as he takes a business card out of his pocket. "This is my business card and it has the location of my company and my number, feel free to give me a call." I nod my head thanking him and I head back to the register.
