Seek And Destroy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3 : And Then I Found You

A few months had passed and everything was going well. My job was thriving and I finally moved in to a proper house.

It had three bedrooms; one living room; a lounge; two bathrooms; a kitchen and a laundry room. It was all the luxury I could afford. It was fully furnished in themes of gold silver and white with the occasional black.

My mother had visited me once and was thrilled to see my house. I asked her whether she'd like to move in with me in the city but she point blank refused. She wanted the calm peaceful town life.

She left, making me promise to visit her next. I still hadn't visited home. And if I were to be honest; I didn't want to.

I wanted to avoid my past there.

It's August 8th now and business is usually slow -or so I'm told- during this month.

'Most of the wealthy men come in this time around. Most don't have to work much on August', Sebastian said.

I had also made a new friend here in the city. Her name was Allison but most call her Alice. She's another waitress at my place ( Restaurant Florénce ). She was the same age as me and was a petite little thing.

She was a few inches shorter than me with a small body that suited her little blonde bob cut hairstyle.

'Maybe we'd meet our Prince Charming then', she told me,'Most Rich men here are quite the lookers'

'You're a bit boy crazy Alice. Get your head out of the clouds,'I say. I bit my lip, guiltily thinking of old Billy.

'I know I am', she replied, removing her apron as it was the last shift we had today,'But it's true'

'If you say so. Well I'll be out okay? You pack your things and meet me out. I need some fresh air', I tell her.

I truly needed it. The restaurant was full of snobby rich people that I had to tolerate the whole day. The job was truly tiring.

As soon as I exited, I bumped into someone unknowingly,'Ouch!'

I had twisted my foot when I fell. He was as hard as a statue. He didn't fall as I did, but he just stood there, his eyebrows furrowed,'watch where you're going next time. And watch who you're bumping to'

'A little help would be appreciated', I pointed out, completely oblivious to what he just uttered.

He looked at me more properly and I almost gasped.

He was devilishly handsome with his brown hair and aftershave. He had alarming blue eyes and a perfect jawline. He was wearing a tight black shirt that showed off his muscles with the right black ripped jeans and shoes.

'And why would I do that? You're the idiot who bumped in to me', he said; back to ignoring me. He pulled out his phone and went inside the restaurant.

'Elena! Are you okay?', Alice said as her eyes came upon me sprawled on the ground,'Who was that guy?'

When she came out; I didn't know. How much she heard? If she heard anything, I'd die of embarrassment.

'I don't know', I say,'some rich snob probably'

One of the things I craved about having a friend like Allison was that she was struggling the same way I was. She was making money for her little brother and her mother. With both our father's gone and with both our struggles; we became as close as sisters.
