Job OR Jade ?

chapter #6

Last night with Emma was amazing, I needed a girl's night over since forever.

I learnt that Emma was the only child of her parents ,her father has passed away 5 years ago and her mother married another man who cared about her and Emma just like her father. She loved him but she can never replace her fatherly figure with another man even if that man was really kind.

I envied her ,at least she got a parent living with her ,one to whom she can always go to when she needs someone to talk to. I do have Cale and he's the only family I got but he can't be mom ,he can't bear to listen to my inner conflicts or girly stuff like a mother could. I couldn't even go about needing a father, I never considered the man who used to beat mum and insult her a dad. I still try to cope with the fact that I've killed him.
I get scared and I feel like I need a shelter from everyone and myself..

Emma drove me back to my home next day so that I can change for work tonight.

I turned my laptop on and started learning. Being a dropout doesn't mean that I can not yet study. I do study and pay for online courses until I could enroll in college hopefully soon,I want to feel mentally prepared when I take that step.

After 2 and a half intense hours of learning ,I decided to take a break. I made myself something to eat ,when I checked up my wristwatch, I knew I should get to my work in 20 minutes.

I immediately changed into a black mini skirt and a white shirt .I applied the usual light makeup and threw my phone ,money, and some other stuff into my purse hurriedly before leaving.

*****

I reached the restaurant thankfully within exact time and greeted Emma and the guys before settling in for work.

I took orders and delivered them for almost an hour.

I approached a table where a guy my age sat with another 2 guys. "Welcome to Joli noir, i am your waitress for tonight, how may I help you"

One of them with a dark hair looked at me up and down while the other two seemed interested by the smirks on their faces ,this immediately made me uncomfortable and I pulled my skirt a little bit more downwards feeling insecure.

"what's a hot girl doing here "I scowled

"Working sherlock "I rolled my eyes while the other 2 guys laughed mockingly.

"Pass me your number ,we can hit it off together tonight when you're done with your shift, I'm throwing a party and I expect you there" he winked arrogantly.

I threw him a disgusted look, "I'm not interested, and now are you going to make your order ?" I shrugged

I then felt his strong arm pulling me to his side by my waist, i immediately started to wiggle out of his strong arm.

"Don't be such a tease , we want some fun ,and you'll come" he whispered as his arm started to move downwards towards my butt, I tried to wiggle out of his grip without attracting attention of the customers.

I suddenly felt his grip loosen, looking down I saw another hand holding his , looking behind me ,I saw the hazel eyed guy giving him a stern look that successfully managed to get him off me .

The guy gave up and dictated me the orders.

I then turned to the hazel eyed guy,"thank you so much ! "

"It's alright, miss Jade" he smiled at me.

I smiled back and took that as my cue to get back to work when I felt him hold my wrist.

I turned back to him while he cleared his throat ,"uh I -you know ,I think it'd be good if you have my number ,just in case you ever need any help I can reach out to help quickly" he suggested
