Fatal Attraction -BOOK 1-

Chapter one

Bahja Rodriquez as Amelia Banks ^ ^

"Get home safe Nonna " I finally finished my last costumer. Mrs. Lorenzo aka 'my grandma!'

"You too! Be careful now I'll see you later Cucciolo "( little one) Letting her Italian accent flow out. She always came and had her usual ' decaf coffee with a blueberry muffin' also making me sit down with her and talk not that I minded.

"Ci nonna " (yes grandma) giving her a warm smile, she looked at me with pride and approval. I laughed at myself, ever since Nonna started coming in she made me learn phrases in Italian. She swears up and down that I reminded her of herself when she was my age. Sweet, caring, and feisty. Even though she's never seen me out of my usual character, she always said ' the nicest one are the one you should be really afraid of' .

"Be careful mia nipote( my granddaughter) at this time of night are you sure-" I cut her off by laughing. I knew she was worried about me especially at this time and knowing everyone in New York new about the 'mafia' very dangerous people I suppose. I never listened to the nonsense.

"I'm okay, besides my apartment is only a couple blocks down " I lied to her, my apartment was nearly 1 hour away. She gave me a look that she didn't believe me, but gave up anyway. She slipped out of the table giving me a kiss on my cheek. She left the diner leaving her usual tip $100. I've told her I didn't need that much, but she always gave me a lecture at the end so I started accepting it. After cleaning up the table, making sure I grabbed my tip. I went to the back to grab my stuff. I saw my boss leaving out his office as I was walking towards the employees locker room .

"See you later, Steve!" I yelled behind me. He waved at me and smile.

"You too Amelia! , hurry home! " he said walking out the diner, he trusted me since I walked in here 4 years ago when I was 16 , knowing the type of person out the bat he knew I needed this . Same time I met nonna . He gave me a spare key just in case I finished last . Every since nonna started talking to me he knew I'll be here a while not that I'm complaining . Thinking about my life as I was grabbing my purse, I always thought how did a 20 year find herself in the middle of New York , living in a not so good area but manages to always smile. Anyone who have went through hell trying to contact any family I have but failed every time. Cutting off the thought I made sure I have everything ,I rushed out not before locking the diner up. I stepped outside checking my watch, it was 9:01 at night. Living in New York and outside this late was only meant for those who were dangerous. I felt a rush of wind come at me making my hair blow. It was a jet black cascading down my back it stopped at my bra strap . I clenched my jacket even closer to me, I breathed in a couple deep breaths and parted my way home. After walking for nearly 20 minutes I felt weird . My gut feeling was always strong, I looked over my shoulder to see nothing. Shaking off the feeling I continued on . The streetlights were dim, making the street look more eerie then usual . My phone buzzed indicating a notification. I dug into my purse to get my phone, while taking it out I heard voices. Male voices coming out of the alley. I stopped in my tracks afraid to look around , reluctantly I looked to the side towards the alley I usually take to go home. To see about 4 men standing up casually leaning up against the wall while 1 of them were on the ground on his knees looking to be begging for mercy. To the man who stood above him holding a gun to his head . I gasped that must have caught the men's attention, they all looked at me. But the man that stood before the man on his knees, his captivating honey brown eyes pierced through my soul . I couldn't seem to look away from him, the way his jaw clenched in anger to how his pink lips moved . I must haven't been paying attention to what was being said . I saw him inhale slowly the cigarette making sure to get every little sickening taste. He was tall could be 5'11 or 6'0 foot. He smiled, a sinister type smile . He turned his body to mines , sauntering to my frozen body. I mentally screamed in my head to move my feet , 'surprisingly' nothing happened . Now standing in front my petite frame only at 5'3 and his tall statue made me feel like a puppy.
