setting ablaze ( a queen is born)

A Bargain

Sitting in the small restaurant on the outskirts  of town,  Amara was looking outside the window staring at the sun set . She unconsciously jumped in her seat when a pair of arms tapped her. Turning  her head, she was met with  Mrs . Hunds the owner of the dinner holding a book and a pen ready to take her order. " Are you alright Amara, you've been staring out for almost  thirty  minutes.  Should I bring  u your usual?". She asked with the concern laced in her voice.  " Yes, please,  and I'm okay, just a bit stressed, family drama, that's all." She responded  with a chuckle.  " Okay  if u say so, I  be back with your food in thirty." With that, the older woman  walked towards  the kitchen.  Amara looked  around to see that only a few people  were here. She remembered  how she stumbled  upon this place. At first, she was just looking  for a place to eat after one of her matches.  She never really thought  that the food would be that good , considering  how vintage and isolated  the place was,but she was proven  wrong. She was glad she found this place ,it was a bit far from society and all its troubles. 
Just after thirty  minutes,  the old lady was back with her order. Turning  to thank her, she noticed  that there was a medium-sized chocolate  cake on the table. Mrs. Hands just smiled  at her and walked by. This was one of the reasons  she liked coming  here, the great service.  What pained her, however,  was the fact that none of Mrs. Hunds children  seemed interested in managing  the shop. It hurt her to think that this place would soon disappear out of existence.  Eating  the food, the taste seemed to ease  her mind. Food always  had a way of making  her feel better. Maybe  that might be one of the reasons  why she always had a bit of weight no matter how hard she trained since she also always found  her way into the kitchen  afterwards. She giggled at her silly  thoughts  and continued  to indulge  in her guilty  pleasure.

After eating, paying  for it, and buying more for the journey  she decided  to go back home. However , since she left her car and it was getting  too dark, she decided to find a motel to spend the night.  No matter  how brave she was, she was not about to deliver herself  on a silver platter to some hooligans. After walking about half a mile, she saw a motel. Walking  in, she noticed it wasn't  that bad , it could make a lot of profit if only it had the right investment .she made a mental note to give them a call when she went to her office  the next morning.
After taking  a shower  and sending  her clothes  to laundry,  she lay  on the bed in a bath robe. Sleep never came, and Amara was left tossing  and  turning for hours.  No matter how hard she trained  she just couldn't  sleep. She knew that she would have to face the consequences of her actions  and probably  give a response on her arrival. She inwardly  rebuked  her father and brothers for giving  her a sleepless  night  yet again.  Already,  she was on edge  , the last thing she needed was another disturbance, but, unfortunately  life wasn't  fair.

Waking up the next morning, she checked  her messages only to see that her mom, grandfather, and Santiago have been trying  to reach her. Placing  the phone back on the bed, she walked towards the bathroom  for a hot shower. Stripping  herself  of her clothes,  she turned on the shower . Leaving the temperature at a higher  degree than normal, trying  to numb and probably  divert the pain in her heart.
After that, she turned off the shower and wiped herself  with a towel.  After wrapping  herself  in a robe, she turned to leave only to  catch her reflection  in the mirror.  It had been a while since she actually  saw her reflection, considering how she broke her last mirror.  Staring into the reflection  of her eyes, it painfully  reminded  her of her father. Before  anger could overtake her, a knock  came at the door. Walking  quickly , it was her  clothes . She thanked  the lady before taking  them.  After she was done with everything,  she went done to the lobby  to return  the room keys. Walking  out , she saw Santiago  standing  by his car with his arms folded.  Letting  out a heavy sigh, she made her way towards  him, knowing  she had to face her fate.
