Mafia King and the Waitress

Chapter 8

It's been 3 months since Jӧrgen and I had dinner in his italian restaurant. We continued to hangout since then; going out for lunch or dinner, taking walks in the park, one day he insisted we do some touristy stuff since I hadn't really done that since I moved here, and he even organized a tour of a castle! He continued coming into the diner for a meal whenever he had the time.

I think it's safe to say I trust Jӧrgen and that I have a crush on him. We have grown closer and closer with each passing day.

Jӧrgen's P.O.V

The last 3 months have been the best 3 months of my life. I think I have finally gained her trust and that means it's finally the right time to ask her to be my girlfriend. I have everything planned out. Tomorrow is Thursday, her day off from the diner, and since she loves animals I have planned the day at the zoo. I even set up a private tour of the monkey exhibit since those are her favorite.

Blaire's P.O.V

Walking into work wednesday afternoon, I wasn't expecting one of my co-workers to hand me note. Going into the back, I put my bag inside my little locker and opened the letter.

Meet me in front of Regent's Park at 10am.

--Jӧrgen

A smile crept onto my face that I couldn't wipe off. Putting the note in my bag, I head out from the back to serve the customers. It's no doubt that I have been a much happier person since Jӧrgen came into my life. Before I just want the day to be over so I could crawl into bed and watch netflix while eating pizza. Now I want the day to be over so I can hangout with Jӧrgen but up until I meet him I serve customers with a smile instead of a fake one.

~~Next Day~~

My morning so far has been great. I woke up to a good morning text from Jӧrgen as usual, decided to go for a jog since it's a nice morning, made some very delicious chocolate chip pancakes if I do say so myself and then took a shower.

After I got dressed in some leggings, a sweater and my favorite pair of boots, I left my place. I reach Regent's Park in 15 minutes with 5 minutes to spare. We didn't agree on a particular spot to meet and I have no idea what we are doing so I start walking around to see if I can find him. It is actually easy to find him most of the time. Usually when we hangout he's wearing a suite so he stands out.

Seeing Jӧrgen, I make my way over to him. He looks up from his phone and smiles when he see's me. "You look beautiful as always." He said when I got to him. He can never give me a break with the blushing, even after this long. "Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself." I giggled.

"Shall we go?" He asked offering his arm to which I took gladly. He guided me through the park towards the zoo. "We're going to the zoo?!" I yelled a little too loud, looking up at Jӧrgen. He nodded his head and I couldn't help but jump on him and give him a big hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." I gushed.

Letting go of him, I grab his hand and drag him towards the zoo, him laughing the whole way. Once inside I drag him to the first thing I see, the penguins. "Ahh! They're so cute!" I couldn't help but press my face to the glass like a child to try and get closer.

Once Jӧrgen could pry me away from the penguins, we visited the rest of the animals in the zoo. "Now I have saved the best for last. You're favorite, the monkeys." Jӧrgen smirked and I could feel my excitement grow. I really love monkeys. He grabbed my hand and pulled me inside but my excitement changed to confused when he pulled me towards the employee's only door.

"Jӧrgen what are you doing? That's the employee's only area. We can't go in there." I told him trying to tug on his hand to stop him but he's really strong so my pulling did nothing. He pulled me through the doors and the people inside turned to look at us. "Mr. Bjorn. I am Liam the head of the monkey department. We spoke on the phone." A man, Liam, said coming up to us clearly very nervous.

"Hello, this is Blaire. She is the one I mentioned about giving the private tour of the monkeys." Jӧrgen said making my eyes grow wide. Private tour of the monkeys?! "Right, of course. Now I can't take you inside where all the monkeys are due to safety hazards but I can show you the monkeys we have back here." He nervously said.

"Hello, this is Blaire. She is the one I mentioned about giving the private tour of the monkeys." Jӧrgen said making my eyes grow wide. Private tour of the monkeys?! "Right, of course. Now I can't take you inside where all the monkeys are due to safety hazards but I can show you the monkeys we have back here." He nervously said.

Jӧrgen nodded and we followed Liam into another room, which you can see the outdoor area where all the other monkeys are in. When we walked into the room, one immediately walked over to Liam and climbed on him. "This is Maybelle. Would you like to hold her?" Liam asked and who could say no to holding a monkey? He carefully handed Maybelle off to me and it is the weirdest feeling having a monkey walking around my shoulders, playing with my hair.

It's funny how in an instant everything can change. One minute Maybelle is playing with my hair and the next thing I know she is lying on the ground with a bullet in her chest and Jӧrgen is dragging me away.
