Not Dead

Chapter Nine - Heading to Work

Your P.O.V.

—---------------

I wake up to my alarm. Fuck I have work. I groan and sit up. Gustav holds onto me tighter.

"I'm sorry Gustav but you have to let go I have work today." He whines and lets go of me but Bill has yet to let go of me.

"That means you too Bill." He sighs behind me and slowly lets go leaving a lingering kiss on my shoulder before fully releasing me. I sit up and give them both kisses on the forehead before getting up to get ready. I grab some clothes and head into the bathroom. I come out and head downstairs where I see Georg.

"Where are you going?"

"Work," He gets up.

"I'm coming with you, we don't want a repeat of the last time you went out alone." I nod.

"Okay, you can come but behave don't do anything stupid." He chuckles and follows me out the door to my car. I get in and he gets in after me. I head over to the coffee shop I work for on weekends. I get out of the car and unlock the front door and let Georg in. He looks around and sits at a random table. I go in the back and put on my apron. I start to prep the restaurant for the day. One of my coworkers comes in and rushes over to me.

"Okay. don't freak out but I think a really hot guy broke in and he's sitting at the corner table." I sigh.

"Em he did not break in, I let him in he's a friend. I've had a few too many incidents where some creeps have tried to hurt me so I brought someone with me to keep me safe." She nods.

"Is he single?"

"Emily!" She raises her hand in defense.

"What? He's hot."

"Yeah, but he's off limits." She gives me a knowing look'

"Ooooo you like him." I cover her mouth with my hand.

"Will you stop talking?" I take my hand off of her mouth and speak before she can.

"Before you start to bombard me with questions, we need to set up for the day." She frowns and goes to grab the things we need for the day. I set up the machines up front and Georg looks over and smiles at me. I smile back. I finish setting everything up and go unlock the front door. I go sit with Georg while I wait for customers to come in.

"So you have a weekend job." I nod.

"Yeah, it's enough to live off of, since my college was already paid for I only really pay for books plus whatever I buy for myself." He nods.

"I thought all college students were broke and suffering." I laugh.

"I mean kind of, I still struggle from paycheck to paycheck but I've been managing better since I've started living with you guys." He smiles.

"That's good." Someone walks in the door and I stand up heading over to the counter.

"Hello sir, what would you like to order today?"

"Coffee black, and a bagel."

"What size do you want your coffee."

"Medium." I smile and nod heading over to the coffee machine to start preparing his coffee. Once I'm done I put his bagel into a bag and hand it to him. He comes over to the register and pays with his card. He walks out the door and I sigh.

(Four hours later)

"Okay (Name) I'm heading out enjoy the rest of your shift." I wave to Emily and head over to Georg's table.

"I'm so tired." He laughs.

"When is your lunch break?"

"In ten minutes, then I have thirty minutes to do whatever." He smiles grabbing my hand and kissing it.

"Then you better get working darling." I blush and head back to the counter starting up a new brew of coffee. Someone comes in and they look suspicious I head over to the register ready to hit the panic button if needed. He comes over and it almost looks like he's sniffing the air. He comes up to me.

"You're the girl who's living with the four outcasts." Of course this shit again.

"What do you want?"

"I want you dead." He gets out a knife and goes to stab me but Georg stops him by grabbing his arm.

"Don't touch her!"

"Oh, so one of the outcasts had the balls to show his face." The guy shouts as Georg twists his arm causing him to drop the knife. I had already hit the panic button but I go to grab the knife. When I grab it I cut my hand Georg turns to me for a moment his eyes going red and filling with worry.

"Are you alright?" I nod putting the knife behind the counter.

"So the beast has finally learned to control himself." Georg turns to the guy glaring at him. As he does the sirens from the cops I called go off and my manager walks through the door. The guy breaks out of Georg's grasp and books it. A few cops chase after him and some come into the building.

"Can you explain what happened here?" I explain that a guy broke in and tried to rob me but I was saved by my friend. My manager walks up to me and grabs my shoulders.

"Oh my goodness (Name), I'm so glad you aren't hurt, take the rest of the day off, I'll make sure you get paid in full." I smile and thank her. She's very motherly. I go into the back taking off my apron I call Georg back and he follows me out the door. Before we get into the car he pulls me to the side grabbing my hand.

"Why do you always have to smell so good." He puts my palm in his mouth essentially cleaning the wound with his tongue. He lets go and pulls me into a kiss. My eyes go wide for a moment before closing and kissing him back. He's not as rough as Tom but he's still firm his lips fit perfectly into mine. He pulls away.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." I flush red.

"It's fine, I uh I liked it."

"Good because that won't be the last time I kiss you like that."

Can this bitch stop being hot for one second?
