Love at first sight. Love that is unbreakable. Two different souls meet to help heal them. Love that is forbidden in this life. Two different worlds meet.
I groan at the sound of my alarm. "Well, I gotta get to work." I huff. I work at a cute, small, old-fashioned café in my town.
I get off my bed and go take a quick, warm shower. As soon as I finish up, I wrap my towel around my body. I walk to my closet and choose a simple but nice outfit.

This will do! I check the time. "Oh no no no! It's 5:30. I'm gonna be so late." I say as I run out the door grabbing my keys. The café is not that far so I walked, well, more like ran. I got there and Emma, she owned the café, was not at all pleased. "Elizabeth Michelle Ferrari! Why are you late?" She said with an angry tone and I just paused. "I-i uhm". I say in loss of words thinking she will fire me! This job is the best thing for me right now. I can't loose it! Emma was the sweetest person you could ever meet but don't get on her angry side!?!!
Emma is like a mother to me because mine was selfish and didn't care about anyone but herself and didn't have time for me, so what eve's. "I'm letting you go on this one because it's the first time you're doing this. Don't be late again!" She said. "Thank you so much Emma. Never gonna happen again. I promise!" I say as I took of my jacket, hanged it and put on my apron and she walked away.
As I was taking orders from behind the counter, three dangerous man walked in looking like the own some gang or somethin'. They were wearing identical black suits. Those dudes reminded me of man in black. Those suits look so expensive. I bet their dress shoes cost more than my whole apartment.

"Damn." I hear someone say behind me. It was my best friend, Alexis, drooling all over them. "Hello to you too Lexi." I say sarcastically. "Yeah, yeah hi Liz." She says staring specifically at the blonde haired one. "Hey Liz?" She asks "What Lex?" I respond. "Please do me a favour and go serve that table where three smoking men are sitting and talk to the blond one for me please." She says. "H-hell no! You're then one who likes him you go talk to him." I say. She opens her mouth to say something but I continue. "Lex. You're so friggin' smart that you can possibly be Leonardo Da Vinci's daughter. So talking to a boy shouldn't be a challenge. You're the smartest girl I've met. You can do this."
"Aww thank you." She says and I smile. "And you're the dumbest." My smile drops. "Plus I can't, Emma needs me I the back." She complains.
"I'm not going because you called me dumb." I say. "Well you're not exactly smart, but you have have alot of talents. Lucky." She says mumbling the last part. "That's not a lie and also not all true, but I'll take it." I say and she smiles. I'm not good in academics, but I'm smart in my own way. I go up to them to take their order. "Hi, welcome to Sugar's café. I'm Liz and what would you like for today?" I ask normally not even smiling, but full of energy.
They all look at me. The one with dark brown hair looked at me like I was his prized possession or somethin'. The one with brunette hair just looked at me and looked back at his phone. The blonde guy answered my question. "Uhm, I would like a large black coffee and two choc' chip cookies please." He said as I wrote that down. The blonde guy nudged the the brunette one to answer my question. Which he did but still looking at his phone. "I would like a stack of pancakes with a large coke, thanks cherié."
The dark haired one answered aswell "I would like a large black coffee and two dark chocolate flavoured cookies thanks amour." He says with his deep, dark voice so smooth I would die, while looking at me up and down........ smirking?
Anyways I wrote that down. "Coming right up!" I said walking away. "So, did you talk to him for me?" Lex asked. "Hell no. Did you see how the dark haired one looked at me? It's like I was he's possession or somethin' I was way too uncomfortable to ask that." I say overreacting. She huffs stomping away like a toddler. "Order up!" "Thanks Gavin." I reply. As I walk back to the table the guys are. I couldn't help but notice the dark haired one stare at me. I gave them all their orders. "Thanks love." They all said.
Time passed and people started leaving, but they were the last ones here. Emma came to me and kissed me on the cheek. "Ok Liz, I'm going to head out. Will you be able to close up?" She asked. "Of course. Go ahead." "Ok make sure to tell those guys to head out." She said. "Alright." I replied "Bye honey." "Bye." I replied. I was cleaning up as the guys headed out. They didn't even say goodbye. Rude much? I swept up and got my things and headed out locking the door. I heard crashes and grunts in the alley next to the café. I went closer hiding in a corner making sure no one sees me. I peek through the corner and see 'the three Guys'. I was so shocked. I saw them hitting, punching and kicking a dude. The guy they were hitting looked like a pretty tough dude, but the looked tougher. I have tears in my eyes as I saw they dark haired guy pull out a gun a shoot the dude.
I try to run to my car but I on a rock and fall. I see them turn their heads to me as I make a run for it. I get to my car, start it and I drove away. I can't believe what I just saw. What is happening? Why is it happening? Why did they have to kill the poor man?
I said in my head as I was driving to my apartment. I saw a black SUV across the street, but I didn't pay it any mind.
