Narrator P.OV.
In the mind of a woman who is damaged in ways that is not in the norm. Not damaged because of the pain and the hurt no, not at all though it plays a part in the story of it all but the mental damage that she is born in I believe is what started this Pandora's cracked box. In a world of the unknown Natalia would walk down these New Orleans streets every single day leaving her day job at the office , to meet her night job at the bar couple blocks down from her home. It was always the same guys there every single night to the point of acknowledgment between them and her. But Tonight something was amiss the regular four had turned the two , it would be nothing to the typical person but to someone like Natalia this change was a major factor , just the other day it was three they seemed off and distraught but today it was pure agony on their faces. The nervousness that shivered through the concrete that reached her was unbarring that she had to ask them. "Hey, where's the rest of your friends guys?" she would say attempting to at least sound like she was a cheery person. "We don't know they just disappeared one after the other" one would say and the other shaking his head to himself in disappointment. Natalia would nod her head and kept on walking as she didn't want to wander around them for too long and plus it could've been a drug deal gone badly for the both of them. As she walked into the very populated bar a smile would come across her face, Natalia knew how to be happy but she just rather not show that side of herself because she knew the less open she was the easier life would be for her.
As she walked to the back to put her things away and change to her bottle girl outfit, everyone seemed to be in a frenzy. The girls seemed as if they were extra anxious to go out and serve, that must mean a celebrity is out there and Natalia started dressing even slower than before, she had no interest in that at all and plus it's not like she was the one that would be picked out of the group of girls anyway to service whoever it was. As she sat there for a while one of the main girls Jennifer walked in and tapped her shoulder, "hey beautiful why aren't you coming out, they spending money on bottles today girl, get you some extra tips." She would say smiling her blond hair matching well with her Latin olive skin with specs of glitter from her lotion showing through. "Nah I'm okay I think I want to work the back tonight, I'm not feeling too well anyway so I got ya'll on ya'll numbers" Natalia would say looking up with her big brown eyes to Jennifer. Jennifer combing her fingers through Natalia's hair as she looked down at her Mocha skin " I don't know why you do this every time , you are gorgeous as I don't know what and your body is amazing and yet you sit back here. Do you not see how these women stare at you when you walk into the bar not to mention the Gay guys" she would say then pouting her lips she turned to walk out the door "you'll learn your worth one day, imma head out there the Two stud Daughters from the Hallow family is here and they pretty much own New Orleans girl and they both Gay" she would say opening the door and the loud music muffling out her voice as she spoke and walked out.
The Hallow family really did run New Orleans, you couldn't do anything out here without them having something to do with it, not even crime and if you did let's just say you would disappear like those two men did. Natalia would roll her eyes and decided she definitely would not go out there tonight, she didn't have time for the other girls that didn't like her to have some altercation with them. They hated the fact that the main girls in the bar actually liked Natalia and wanted to put her under their wing, I guess since the others have been there for a long time but never got recognition and the fact that Natalia never once wanted the attention she was getting, even asking the boss if she could do back office work made them even more upset. I guess it would have been better if she was a complete bitch to them instead.
As the night went on and Natalia sat in the back doing the Numbers for the night, the Bosses wife Angela would call in from time to time just to check on her and the numbers. Ever since Natalia started working there since she was an accountant by day they let her do all the office work and actually gave a really high pay, even though Angela's Husband Julio really wanted her to be on the floor as well but it was worth paying her then actually staying with the accountant they had before after finding out he was stealing money from them anyway after the first night Natalia did their books.
