~~ Lina's P.O.V ~~
I groan at the sound of my alarm slapping it hard shutting it off "Jesus I need water" I mumble smacking my lips together feeling parched with the tatse of liquor breath hinting behind it "Hey Lina, you up?" Trevor's voice comes from the other side of my door."What the hell are you doing here?"I grumble, making him chuckle as he walks into the room with his white cook's uniform on. "Last night, you asked me to come over and wake you up in case your alarm didn't work. You were pretty smashed." I slowly sit up, rubbing my eyes."Damn." I whisper "here I brought you some water and some coffee, but you seriously need a shower. You smell like tequila and shame." he chuckles, sitting on my bed, handing me the water and placing the coffee down on my nightstand."I can help you in the shower if you need it." he smirks."No thanks, your boyfriend probably wouldn't appreciate that." he nods "well he knows that we hooked up once, so honestly, I'm surprised he was so friendly." I cough choking on the water I'm drinking."woah, Lina, you alright?" He asks, patting me on the back, I quickly nod, still trying to stop myself from coughing."Why?" I rasp through coughs until it finally subsides. "Why would you tell him?" He shrugs,"he asked, and I didn't want to lie."
I groan, placing the water down next to the coffee. "I fake flirted with you last night. Was he really okay with that?" He slowly shrugs again."He never said anything, so I'm assuming he was." I take a deep breath taking a drink of the water "okay I'll get ready and meet you downstairs, I don't want to drive right now." Thankfully, I'm not one to get hangovers, but when you're up all night for days on end, you end up running on E. When I'm finally showered and ready with a fresh servers uniform, I decide on spraying myself with a little apple honey perfume with eyeliner and mascara on my eyes. If he's going to see me again, I better look a little cute.
I walk downstairs, meeting a surprised gaze from Trevor. "You're extra pretty for work today." I shrug."I just felt like being extra cute, I guess." He smirks, twirling the ends of my hair "please, you even did your high ponytail instead of a bun." I swat his hand away with a dramatic eye roll following "The hot guy from yesterday is going to be there, so I wanted to be a little extra cute this time." He purses his lips,"so it's all to impress him?" I shake my head "Yes and no, It's also so I can feel extra hot." After our little conversation, we head out onto the road, singing loud and laughing our heads off all the way to the large four story tower someone calls a house. "Ah, to be rich and entitled." Trevor jokes as we get out of the now parked car "must be nice to have power." I smile wide at the thought of having such power at my fingertips.. the things you could do. "Earth to Lina?" Trevor says, snapping his fingers in front of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry, let's just get today over with so I can get home and finish my classes that you made me miss yesterday." I grumble, placing my name tag on before clocking in after Trevor "yeah well I didn't hear you complaining when you went upstairs." I sigh, grabbing a tray and placing it in front of him to set up."I dont know there's just this thing about him.. He's got power and I don't know what kind it is for sure but I want a taste of it." he raises his eyebrows, placing the last set of chocolate covered strawberries on the tray.
" Lina.. have you been going to your meetings?" My anger begins to simmer inside me and as my best attempt at keeping it at that simmer I roll my eyes with a scoff "wow Trev why don't you just ask if I'm still on my wacko meds?" I spit a bit harsher than intended."No, I stopped going to those stupid meetings, and the doctor said I don't need the meds anymore, so just drop it. The guy tried to rape me, and im the one who's crazy." he takes a deep breath, giving me a sympathetic smile that I loathe."I just worry about you." I hastily pick up my tray."I have to get these out." I mumble, walking out to the diner area, doing my best to plaster a tight smile across my face before serving a few small tables and collecting drink orders. After a few hours of serving and no sight of Nicoli, I decided it's time to just get the last course and call it a night. I walk up to the employee door, stopping at the familiar warmth radiating behind me. "Nice to see you again." he mumbles, snapping my attention to his."I thought you were too busy to come see me." his cold emerald eyes shine with a glint of amusement stretched over them.
