Runaway

Chaper 7

I hear sirens. I quickly shoot up. It's pitch black in here but the glowing of the TV burns my eyes. I hear sirens. Police? Firefighters? Nicole gets up and looks out the window to see a police car after another car. She feels her heart going back to normal pace again. She looks at the TV and some Hallmark movie is on. She power's it off and looks at the clock. 1:46 pm. She climbs back in bed and rest her head on the cold pillow. She tries to sleep but can't. She closes her eyes and see him. She opens them and realizes her heart is going fast again and her palms are sweaty. She gets put of bed and dodges to the phone. She punches in some numbers and hears the ring.
"Hello."
"Hey, are you awake?" Nicole ask.
"Well I am now."
"Where are you?"
"I'm with the unicorns riding into the rainbow, Where do you think I am?"
"So you haven't escaped yet?" Nicole scans the room.
"No not yet but-"
"Well when? You have to get out of there Miranda, he'll kill you if you don't." She heard a sigh at the other end.
"You think i don't know that. My plan is to do it tomorrow night. He won't be home." Miranda says.
"Ok, if you escape call me and i will tell you where i am."
"Ok, goodnight."
"Bye." Nicole hangs up. She climbs back in bed and drifts off to sleep with Miranda on her mind.
********
When morning arrived, Nicole felt dizzy and lightheaded. She got up and heard footsteps. Panic arises. She runs to the kitchen and tries to find something to protect her with until she heard a door knock. She went to the door and looked threw the hole. The door guy. She put her hand over her heart and opened the door. To her surprise he was wearing a tux with a hint of cologne. It smelled nice.
"Good morning, would you like anything for breakfast?" he asked.
"Yes, pancakes please, with bacon." she said. She didn't realize how hungry she was until she heard her stomach growl.
"Yes mam, coming up." he said. He walked away to the next door and knocked. She shut the door and looked at the clock. 11:35am. Less than half an hour and she had to go to work! She got on nice clothes and brushed her hair and put it into a pony tail. She grabbed her coat and heard a knock. Breakfast. She opened the door and quickly scarfed down her food and ran through the door.
        When she arrived at work, she saw the clock on the slime green wall. 11:59am. Close call. She walked to the back, when she saw Drew. He was getting a bunch of plates from a deserted
Table. I walk past him and into my bosses layer. He gives me a box full of my new uniforms. The shirts are dark red with Larry's Lobster Bar and Grill imprinted on the top right of the shoulder. The pants are black.
"Girls can wear yoga pants, it don't matter to me." he says.
"Ok, thanks." I say.
"Go change and put an apron on. Here is your tickets and pen." i nod and grab the book of paper and pen and head to the bathroom. I change and put my clothes back in the box. I walk balk into his office.
"Today your training starts. I'm having one of my high quality waiters with you. They'll tell you what to do. Any questions?"
"How long is training?" i ask.
"For about 3 weeks or until i think your ready. Anything else?" "nope".
"Ok, on that note." he opens the door.
"DREW!!" he screams.
My face instantly goes white. Of all people it had to be him. Drew comes into the office.
"Yes sir, is there a problem sir?"
"You have been selected to train Nicole here." he looks at me."Drew will be your mentor. You must listen to him if you want to stay here. Capish? I nod, unable to speak.
"Ok, training starts today. Have fun you two."
"Will do sir." drew says. We walk out the door. I walk in front of him, i can feel his eyes on me. He guides me toward a table to sit. I sit on one end and he sits on the opposite side of me.
"Quick question, aren't you the girl from the store?"
I laugh."Yes. Yes i am." i say. He grins.
"How's your showerhead?" he ask sarcastically.
"Very nice thanks for asking." i jokingly say. He laughs and then gets serious.
"Ok first, you have to memorize the menu...."
As he talks i couldn't help but look at him. The shirt clung to his chest. You could sketch out his abs and his body. She suddenly heard his voice again.
"Hello, you there? Have you been listening to me at all or am i talking to the wall."
"No, i have been listening. Look drew, i have already been a waitress before, i know what to do." i say. He looks surprised. He looks away and then quickly looks back at me and covers the side of his face with his hand. I go to look where he was but then i heard him say something.
"Don't. If she sees me she won't leave me alone." he whispers.
"Who?" i ask.
"Kenzie. She's a waitress here but she has this ultra crush on me. I can't stand her. Is she gone?" I look over. A girl is walking towards us.
"No. She is coming over here."
"Ughhhh. Why?" he growls.
"Heeeeyyyyy y'all." Kenzie said.
"Hello,Kenzie. How can I help you?" Drew grumbled. He looked like he had a pest on his shoulders.
"Hi, you must be Nicole, the new girl. I'm Kenzie A.K.A Drew's girlfriend." She giggled. Drew rolled his eyes.
"Your not my girlfriend! Stop saying that!" he yelled. I could tell by the sound of his voice he was for sure annoyed. I can tell i got my hands full.
