La Padrona Del Diavolo ~ The Devil's Mistress

Chapter 10

Liliana Anderson's POV

Fuck Fuck Fuck

I am so late for work, I run to the café, making sure not to slip on the wet sidewalk.

I run into the café to see my boss turning the Open & Close sign. When he sees me, he looks me up and down, with lustful eyes.

It takes everything in me, not to slap that pervert.

"You're late" He states, with his eyes locked on my boobs.

"Eyes up here" His eyes snap up, to mine. He grins, a deadly creepy grin. Showcasing his yellow teeth.

"Get to work" He says then walks away.

I enter the back kitchen, "gEt tO wOrK" I mimic his high pitched voice. I pull out every thing I need to make the pastries for the café.

Within a few hours. I'm ready to open the café. I flip the open-and-close sign to 'open'. I walk back to the counter, while making sure everything is in order. Soon a group of high school students come in. Boys and girls.

"Hi, can I have a small French vanilla and a blueberry muffin"
"Can I get a... large ice coffee with a chocolate donut"
"I'll have the small vanilla milk with a cinnamon roll. And she'll have the medium pink lemonade"
"One small French vanilla and a chocolate donut, please"
"Just one cinnamon roll, thank you"

"Alright two small French vanillas, one large ice coffee, one small vanilla milk, one medium pink lemonade, one blueberry muffin, two chocolate donuts and two cinnamon rolls. Will that be all" I read out their order.

"Yes ma'am" said the guy that only order a cinnamon roll.

"Alright. That will be $25.99" they hand me a $20 bill and a $10 bill. I give them $4 back.

I make their drinks and prepare their goodies. I hand them their things and they leave. Most likely, to their high school.

I serve a few more customers. Getting tips here and there. After the rush hour, I get to sit at the table near the counter until more customers come.

So here I am, reading the book I borrowed from the library. "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson.

A/N spoilers from the book speak below

I feel like I am Melinda Sordino at many - if not all - times. A very outgoing girl, with a best friend. But all was taken from her. After she was raped by Andy Evans. She lost everything. Everyone in her middle school turned their backs to her. All because she called the police at the party. The party where she was raped. Her best friend ended up hating and bullying her. Just like Melinda, I lost everything after my dad died. Leaving me in the hands of a monster, who gave birth to me.

And just like Melinda, I was raped. But what makes my case different. Is the fact that my birth giver had trafficked me. Not just once. But multiple times. This happened many times until she was mysteriously killed, in the most brutal way.

The police was investigating the whole thing, until. They just... stopped. Which was weird. Very weird. But I don't care. The person that killed her, gave me freedom.

Suddenly the door to the café was slammed open. Which scared me. Two people walked in, they looked like they were... fighting. Lover's fight I guess. Following them were more people, who seemed annoyed with the couple.

"Oh please at least I have brain cells" the beautiful woman replies. "You don't even have a br-"

Suddenly two of men from their group tape their mouths'. What was amusing, was the fact that no one was surprised by that action.

I take them to the big tables at the back. There's 10 of them, hence they take up 3 tables, that they pushed together.

"Hi my name is Liliana, I'll be serving you today" as if there are more people working here "what may I get you... all".

"Want do you guys want?" HOLY HELL, she is hot. I think I'm drooling.

"Small Vanilla Frappuccino"

"Small French Vanilla"

"Large Pink Lemonade"

"Small Mocha Coffee"

"Small Chocolate Frappuccino"

"Small Iced Coffee"

"Small Vanilla Frappuccino"

"Large Blue Lemonade"

"Okay, and for them?" I point towards the tapped two.

"He likes Ice Caps, so one Large Ice Cap with Mocha" The most intimidating guy of the group said.

"Make that two" The hot woman said, "Both like the same thing, interesting" she said with a smirk.

"Interesting, indeed" the man from earlier smirks.

"Also, can we get two cakes? Chocolate and Vanilla?" Woah he has such pretty eyes.

"Yes, you may" I respond still looking at him.

"Thank you sweetheart" I'm so damn sure, I am blushing right now.

I go to behind the counter to prepare the drinks, after I finish the drinks. I go in the kitchen to get the cakes. Slowly, and carefully I take the first 8 drinks out. Then the other 2 along with one of the cakes.

As I'm bringing the last cake out, I see my boss' brother come in, to which I tense up and quickly drop the cake off at the table.

I sit down at the table near the group, because at the moment I feel safe with them being here. My boss' brother smirks at me and goes to the office behind the kitchen.

My boss' brother. My mom's regular customer. My first RAPIST.

The nights he raped me kept flashing in my mind. I start to shake.

No, No, No, No. I can't have a panic attack right now, I start to imagine my dad smiling at me. Which helps me calm down. After a few minutes, I get up. Walking over to the counter.

"Liliana, can you come over here for a second?" I make my way to their table.

"I have a question for you, but before that sit down" I sit down beside her, slowly.

"I'm Athena" The hot woman

"I'm Ace" The intimidating guy

"Ethan"

"Lucas"

"Teresa" The tapped one

"I'm Theodore" The tapped two

"Matthew" Pretty eyes

"I'm Madison"

"Hi, I'm Elijah"

"Okay, now that you know everyone, Why did you look so familiar?" Athena asked me.

"Sorry?" What did she mean by 'familiar' this is the first time I've seen her.

"Hold on, let me think. And you nosy assholes go back to talking" Now only Athena and Ace are looking at me.

"Do you know a Cally Anderson?"

"That- That's my mother's name" I cringe as I call that thing my mother.

"That's why you look so familiar" Athena says

"How do you know her" I ask cautiously.

"Oh, I killed her"
