Emily, your co-work at cheesecake factory were noticed erik sitting in the terrace, she quickly telling you, "magno, take the order in the terrace please, i handle tables inside".
"sure em" you quickly walk outside to his table on the terrace.
You're busy taking out the note from your waist apron, when you look up you realize who it was, "welco-- Erik" you startled.
"hi beautiful, can i order 1 chicken taquitos, 1 lemon meringue cheesecake, and 1 citrus sparkler, please" said erik elatedly, he looks super attractive in white nike jacket, a black tennis short and a black sunglasses, he smile softly to you.
"erik, i'm working right now." You murmured and pretending that you annoyed of his presence.
"well i'm buying, if you dont wanna serve me, i'm gonna tell the manager" he crossed his arms, laid back and smirked.
"alright, 1 chicken taquitos, 1 lemon meringue cheesecake, and 1 citrus sparkler, that would be 11.5$" you rolled your eyes.
"here, just keep the change" he hand you 15$, "i'll wait here till your shift end" he take out a book to read and make himself comfy in the terrace couch.
"but it's like in 3 hours, i can come to your house after so you don't need to wait for me."
"i don't mind waiting" he insisted.
"Ok suit your self sir" you left and come back for his drink and food 15 minutes after, "wait okay" you brushed his hand gently and winked. "sure!" he smiled widely.
You finish your shift then you approaching the most compassionate man in the world, "hi, thank you for waiting patiently".
"my pleasure missy" he take your hand and kiss the palm, he put his hand on his waist and offered his arm for you to hold. You blushed as you hold onto it, both of you headed to his car that park on the street close by.
He took you to a quiet park, you take the blanket in his car and lay it on the green grass, it is in the middle of spring season, "wait here okay?" he said. After 10 minutes, erik came back with a handful of blooming wild spring flowers, he tied them into one with a thin stem to create a bouquet. "awh, it's so beautiful" you melted.
He kneeling down and gave you the erik's made bouquet "For you my queen" he is literally the sweetest guy on the planet, "i miss you already" he said.
You just hugged him tightly.
He sat down next to you, slowly make him self closer, study your face with the palm of his hand, then gently press his lips on yours, he could feel your hand trailing againts his bare thigh, "magno" he gasp your name when your fingers was an inch away from his buldge.
You suddenly stop your fingers when you feel scar on his inner thigh, you quickly check, you saw a 15cm long scar, "what is it?"
"It's nothing, i scratched my self" he avoid more detail.
"How? Where?" You still persistent.
"It was long time ago, i was umm climbing the gate and cut my self"
You don't buy his excuses, "Looks like you cut your self into sharp object"
"Yeah the fence edge"
"Looks like a knife cut to me, tell me the truth please" you hold his hand to brace your self for whatever he's gonna say.
His facial expression getting serious, he looked down and said, "ummm.. we didn't get along well" he stops, tears start building up on his eyes so he look up.
You take a strong grip on his hand and gulped, "who's we?"
"ummm me and my dad.. he is abusive towards me" he breaks down, you were speechless, all you can do was just come closer to him and caress his back, try to comfort him and gave him strength, eventhough you also crumbled inside.
"It's been going on for too long, i just couldn't handle it anymore magno.. i want it to stop" he sobbed.
You really don't know how to react after hearing the truth from his own words, your mind try to match the bizzare things that you've experience as long as you know him and all was just clicked. turns out you were not prepared for these huge awful secret, you didn't realize tears running down from your eyes, you cry with him.
He looked at you and wipe your tears instead, "do you still love me?" You just nodded and sobbed. He pulled you into his embrace. Still sobbing, you burried your head on his shoulder, he caress your hair, he is the one who gave you comfort instead.
