Unexpected

Sofia

I finish my shift at the diner and get ready to head to my little ranch house away from the city. As i am heading out to my car i notice there is a black sedan parked off to the side of the building. I am a cautious person by nature so I keep an eye on it as i unlock my car and get in, once im in i start the car and re lock the doors. I start the car and pull out of the parking lot, the sedan does the same. I drive and drive to get to my house, i pull in the driveway to the farm and the sedan parks outside the gate and just stays sitting there. Obviously panicked and freaked out i get into my house and i call my boss and i tell her what just happened to me. She tells me to lock all the doors and go into my room and then lock the door there she will get help for me. I listen and do exactly what she says. I don't know how long i am hiding in my room when suddenly there is a knocking on my bedroom door. Shortly after the knock my phone beeps with a message. It's my boss telling me that help is at my door and it's ok to open it. I get up and open the door to none other than Lorenzo. I am so shaken and scared already and now this mob boss is here when i needed help. I think i am going to forget now is my last thought as i start to get dizzy and fall to the ground. Last thing i hear is oh shit before it all goes black.

" I get a call from one of the guys who works for me Joseph. His mother owns the little coffee shop i went to today after the fire. Apparently someone followed her employee home and the poor girl is scared something bad is going to happen to her. Joseph is loyal and his mother though she hates me loves the family and is the sweetest little lady ever, so being the good guy i am i drive all the way out to bufu to find this girls house. As i get closer a black sedan speeds away from her house and is lost in the darkness. I get out of the car and text Joseph i need his mom to let this woman know that i am here and that i need the doors unlocked because i don't want to break them down and scare her more. I get through the front door by kicking it open any ways when i get no response. As i head upstairs to the bedroom Joseph messages and says his mom is telling her to open the door for me, i guess patience isn't one of my strong suits and i really should of waited. As i reach the bedroom door it unlocks and guess who is standing there white as a ghost and frightened to her core? Little coffee shop hottie. I have a feeling this day has been to much for her because the minute she sees me she passes out, well shit is all i can muster to say before i catch her and save her from hitting the ground. Apparently i am going to meet and get to know her faster than i thought i was going to. Someone is after me and i have a feeling they saw me at the coffee shop and with her and now they won't let it go. Best she goes with me to stay safe. "

I wake up and am in a huge bedroom. I know instantly that this is not my room or my house. As i start to breathe hard and freak out there is a knock at the bedroom door. I scoot myself all the way up the bed to the headboard and cover myself with the blankets, yea cause they is going to stop someone if they want to hurt or kill me. Oh no she has a blanket better back off, shit. As im thinking these stupid shit talking remarks Lorenzo enters the room, then i remember everything that happened after work. Well fuck i guess i know who followed me home now, just wish the help my boss called for had arrived first. What does this man even want with me? As i am lost in my own thoughts i realize that he spoke to me but i have no idea what he said. I ask him to repeat it, " your at my house, someone followed you home last night and your boss called a friend to get you help. I was faster getting there and scared them off. Didn't want you staying there alone especially after passing out so, i brought you to my house. Your boss Mary knows where you are and is in touch with one of my employees as to make sure you are kept safe. Until we know why they are after you and what is going on im afraid it would be safer if you stay here." My one and only thought is what about my job? My job is important to me and i absolutely love it i don't want to be locked in the house and never be able to work again. Again my mind starts racing and that is when Mary's son Joseph enters the same room and asks if i am ready to go to work or if i want to take another day as his mother would understand. Ahh now i get it Mary called her son who works for Lorenzo so that is why the boss came and got me. I let Joseph know a days rest won't hurt and to let his mom know i will be back tomorrow at my normal shift time. He says ok and respectfully leaves. Great now just me and the boss again.

"I can tell that she is less than excited to be stuck here with me but until i find out why the coffee shop was targeted and why they are after her i can't let her out of my sight or at least not without someone else being with her at all times. It is not a safe time and she matters.
