Divine Will

Chapter Nineteen - That Fateful Night

"Table for two?" I asked the creepy gentlemen that walked into the diner.

"Three, actually." A rich voice said as he walked in and joined the other two gentlemen.

"Okay, follow me." I led them to a table at the far corner of the restaurant. "What can I get you?" I asked them.

"Three strong and hot coffees" I nodded and walked away to the kitchen. I placed three cups of coffee on a tray and walked out of the kitchen. I balanced the tray on my hand as I walked back to the table. I placed the orders in front of them then started to walk away when I felt someone grabbing my ass. Gasping, I turned around only to see the three men snickering. Seeing red, I grabbed one of the hot coffees and threw it on the man on the right; who I was certain was the one who grabbed my ass. The other two men visibly stiffened while the man on the right stood up threateningly, but I kept my ground; not backing down.

"You are going to regret this." His tone was menacing.

"No, you are." A threatening voice was heard from behind us. I turned around and saw Frank standing behind me with his arms crossed as he stared intently at the man.

"Your waitress here" He said; pointing at me disgustingly. "Threw coffee at me"

"Yes, after you sexually harassed her. I do not condone such behavior in my restaurant so I will kindly ask you to leave."

The man appeared to be fuming, and with one last glare my way he turned his gaze to his men. "Let's get out of here." All three of them stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

I turned to Frank who was watching them leave. "Thank you." I only got a firm nod in return before he walked away.

Estelle came rushing towards me. "Are you okay?" She asked me worriedly.

"I'm fine. Just a bunch of creeps" Estelle nodded and walked me to the kitchen.

"Pumpkin, can you take out the trash on your way out?" Leo asked me as I was about to head out.

"Of course" I said with a smile as I grabbed the trash bag and walked out through the back door of the restaurant. I threw the trash inside the big trash can and suddenly felt light footsteps behind me. I turned around to see who it was and noticed the three men from earlier approaching me. Fear instantly shot through me, but I kept walking.

"Hey sexy, remember me?" One of the men growled.

I took a big gulp of air and picked up my pace. Keep it together. Keep it together. I kept chanting in my head.

"We just want to talk to you for a second." Another one of the men said.

My heart started beating erratically as I scanned my surroundings and noticed that there wasn't a single soul in the alley. My flight instinct took over and I did what I knew best; I started running. Suddenly I felt my arm being pulled back abruptly and felt like it was being ripped out of its socket. I started kicking my legs trying to get away when I felt a blow to my head causing me to crash down on the floor and instantly pain coursed all over my body.

"You have no idea how much I'm going to enjoy this." He moaned

"Don't touch me." I managed to blurt out once I realized what was about to happen.

"Stay still bitch. This won't hurt if you cooperate." One of the men snarled in a sickening tone.

I screamed at the top of my lungs taking him by surprise and making his grip loosen on me a bit. I took the opportunity to kick him in his family jewels and he instantly crouched over; gasping for air. I scrambled off the floor and started running with all of my might.
