Amara's POV

" that was so good" said Gianna as we walked out the diner.

I nodded my head in agreement rubbing my bloated belly. I looked around and stopped when I noticed the familiar car I saw earlier.

My suspicions were confirmed when Dario hopped out the car leaning against it with his arms crossed.

" okay girl I'll see you tomorrow night" Gianna said waving goodbye.

" okay bye girl" I said not taking my eyes off him.

I walked towards him with my arms crossed. When I came to a stop I looked him up and down with a raised brow.

"If I didn't know any better I would say that you're following me Dario" I said with my head tilted as I had my hand placed on my pocket knife in my back pocket.

" I just wanted to gift you something since I didn't feel like the dinner was good enough as an apology" he said pulling out a box and opening it showing a beautiful green gem as my eyes widened in surprise.

" if I recalled during dinner you said your birthday was in august so I got you peridot gem necklace of your birthday month" he said taking my hand and placing the box in it sending butterflies to my stomach.

" oh wow that's very sweet of you but I can't take that the dinner was enough but that still doesn't explain why you're following me and how did you know where I lived" I questioned my eyes squinting a little but I was still trying to give the box back to him but he wouldn't take it.

" I'm apologize for the misunderstanding I had one of my bodyguards follow you home to make sure you got home safely but by all means please keep it I insist" he told me with a straight face but you could see the amusement in his eyes.

" um thank you for the necklace I'll keep it but please stop following me you already did enough and thank you again for the dinner " I said taking the beautiful necklace closing the box putting it in my bag and walking off to my apartment.

.......

Between the loud music and the drunk men I had to serve I would say that this was the worst shift that I've ever experienced.

" your too beautiful to be frowning you should smile more" one of the drunk men yelled at me as I slid him his drink.

I bite my tongue before I said something rash and gave him what he wanted smiling bright. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes after I heard him mutter 'much better'.

I've been on bar duty for a whole week, every time I ask my boss if I could dance he would decline and tell me stick to serving drinks and I'm not allowed to dance anymore. It was kind of weird that he wouldn't let me dance anymore ever since my second night here, but I was still getting payed a lot so I didn't really mind.

After hours of dealing with drunk men flirting and cat calling me I was finally able to clock out and go home. I didn't waste no time and called an Uber this time and waited.

Getting the notification that the Uber driver was here I walked outside saying goodbye to the bodyguard which in return he nodded not saying a word. I hopped in my Uber and was on my way home.

Walking up to my apartment door I saw a tall and buff man dressed in black. I reached into my purse pulling out my blade and pepper spray ducking between two black cars.
