For What Its Worth...Lust

Persephone

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS

New day, new problems. I still can't believe Rocky came in here yesterday. It's like he did it just to spite me. That'll be the last time I help anyone bleeding in the middle of the night. Which on one hand was a dumb move from the start. He could've been a serial killer. Not to say that he still isn't. But would he really be that dumb to reveal himself twice. Whatever his game is, I hope he knows he's going to lose. I refuse to be challenged even if he does have the body of a god.

Of course today was the work day I dread. Wednesday is always the busiest day of the week and I'm working it alone. Soon as Celine comes back I'm demanding she hire some other workers. We won't be able to handle this by ourselves for much longer. After about two hours the rush of people has finally died down, of course it has been the worst one yet. I don't think I've ever seen so many empty shelves. Time to go stock up I guess.

Grabbing my headphones and the biggest cart I can find, I get to work. I think this just might be the most peaceful part of the job. Soon I find myself in a rhythm that I'm sure nothing could pull me out of I feel this weird presence behind me. "Still never got a name sweetheart. Doesn't seem fair now does it?" Without hesitation I swing my hand back with whatever's in my hand. " FUCK. What is with you and hitting?"

" What is with you and sneaking up when you shouldn't be? And what do you need my name for?"

"Maybe I want to get to know you better." "And I wanna get to know Joseph Morgan better but I'd have better luck getting hit by a truck. Maybe you should go and try that. Try not to leave a stain ok."

I expect him to go away but instead he stalks closer. I try to put some distance between the two of us but my space runs out when my back hits the bookshelf.

"I think my luck is pretty good." He lowers his head until his mouth hovers near my ear. My heart is beating fast and I start getting this weird feeling. He tilts my chin so he has my full attention. "Because I know you like to act like a brat. But I think deep down I know you want to be a good girl and a good girl would give me her name." Without thinking I do what he asks me.

"Perepshone. My name is Persephone." I don't know why I told him my name but I can't really think straight with the way his eyes are on me.

As if he's pleased with my answer he smirks, steps away from me and leaves.

What the fuck just happened?
