Persephone

It is four thirty and I must be at Mr. Wilson's house soon, I am nervous, to say the least. He is very sexy, and I do not want to screw up my chances with him, I mean the job. I quickly close the shop and I get into the work van; I start the engine and make my way to his house.

The directions he gave me were simple, within a few minutes, I was outside his gate. I beep and a security guard steps out of the little room, he opens the gate and I drive in, he walks to my side, and I open the window.

"Persephone?" he asks.

I nod, "Yes that is me."

"Mr. Wilson will be waiting for you. Just drive up the pathway to the black rose garden, he'll be there," the guard explains

"Thank you."

I follow his directions and I park in front of the black rose garden; black roses are common in this small town of Glenville and now that I think of it, Mama June did say that only one person in this entire country has them and that has to be the charming Mr. Wilson. I get out of the truck and in the far distance I can see Mr. Wilson, he seems to be staring at something. I got out of the car and walked to him. I am amazed at how well-kept the roses were and wonder why he would need my help.

I stand behind him and once I see it, I cannot believe it; he is staring at Mama June's flower garden, that doorway must lead here.

"You're here."

I snap out of my thoughts, "Yes I am."

"Like the roses?"

"Yes, I do. Very well kept," I reply

"I know, I take care of them myself," he turns around and his piercing green eyes bore into mine.

"So why do you need my help?"

He lets out a soft sigh and looks deep into my eyes, "I'll be busy with some things and would be able to attend to them as much, so I need someone well-trained to do so."

I nod nervously, "Okay."

He steps closer to me, and I feel my heart begin to beat faster, "Uhm Mr. Wilson?"

"What is it?" he whispers.

"What are you doing?" I stutter

He presses his lips against my forehead and instantly felt darkness swell up in my heart, like a dark raging storm within my soul then there was calmness, memories of last night coming flooding back and I gasp, "What the fuck did you just do?"

I look up at him and he smiles at me, "I knew it was you,"

What?

"What do you mean?"

He smirks, "You're the one that sneaked into my tunnel last night."

My eyes widen in shock, "That was your cave? And why the hell is it in Mama June's Garden?"

"You'll figure it out eventually," he says and takes a step back, "Let me show you the shed."

He walked past me, I could not believe what had just happened, I stood there stiff and scared out of my mind. What was the darkness within me?

"You coming to Miss Persephone?" he calls out.

I turn to look at him and I nod, he begins to walk, and I follow behind him, he leads me to a small little wooden shed, he opens the door, and we step in, it was a fully equipped shed, it had all the tools and chemicals needed to help me with my work.

"As you can see, I have everything here, all the chemicals, machines, and tools, so there will be no need, just bring your sexy body and talented hands," he turns to me and smiles.
