Forsaken

Luna Labyrinth

I had questions.

I had a lot of questions starting with why he was in the store?

What was he here for? No who was he hear for?!

In fact the questions had been circling my mind most of the shift as I stood with Andy trying to concentrate on work when all I wanted to do was look at the security camera wondering if he was watching us.

I had tried to fish for an explanation as to why the business but not lawyer man Alec Williams was in the shop. Why was he here?!

It seemed Andy had answers but played his cards to his chest leaving us all at a loss! It infuriated me madly as I kept my fist hidden and clenched.

Mark had came in with a sadist smile ready to pounce but changed as soon as Andy stayed at my side as we worked through forms and checked supplier orders. There was plenty to do here, but the urge to run upstairs and ask what the hell was building too strong.

I was writing out the discrepancies of a delivery on the invoice when I smelt the familiar whiff of mint. My mouth watered a little before I turned to see Alec leaning on the edge of the shelving watching me.

"How about lunch and dinner?" He asked with a playful smirk.

I kept my face flat trying to suppress the smile.

What is it with me and Men lately! I'm never this popular!

"What are you doing up there?" I asked clicking my pen in annoyance.

"Honestly, watching you on the cameras. You are rather distracting." He answered casually fixing his tie to his chest.

I swallowed the bundle of nerves as he did it.

"Did you know I worked here?" I hissed.

"Work here? Luna you told me you were a photographer."

I blinked.

"I-I am. I just do it part time.. I've been offered a full time placement."

He smiled "That's great news."

"Hmm." I replied looking at the papers in my hand.

"You don't seem happy about this? Why is that?" He queried.

Before I could answer, Mark came around the corner with a sick smile, I lowered my eyes instantly to his appearance and looked at the floor intently.

"Who's this then Lu? Your new fuck buddy. Gotta say that's three in the last week." Mark laughed making my face burn red.

You couldn't say there was anything remotely interesting going on with me and Zak besides arguing over payments. Aaron- well he's another stor-

"Three? What the hell are you going on about?" I asked annoyed.

"So many she can't keep up." Mark joked but was met with a flat look from Alec. "Steroid and baldy. Now this suit."

He must have been in when Aaron spoke to Andy...

"Excuse me, I-"

"Yeah yeah whatever pal, you don't need to explain yourself to me." Mark waved him off making my eyes widen as Alec's jaw clenched.
