Desire or Revenge (Cancelled)

Chapter 7: Risky Coffee

"Hello Alexa, nice to meet you!" Said Kai gleaming.
I rolled my eyes "Yep, nice to meet you too.." William presumed we were okay and went back inside again, sure why not I thought angrily, leaving me here with..him.
"I've heard a lot about you! And I think it would be great to work togeth-"
"Look Jackson, I work alone so just please don't get in my way!" I began to walk away from him, he's cute but I can't get started with him. I walked across the street on my way home to get changed for my date.

It was quite a cold day with loads leaves blowing around me, the leaves are dying and so I seem to be too I thought to myself, my life is such a mess.... A tear rolled down my cheek as I saw a young mother and her little daughter holding hands happily. If only I still had my parents and if only I could experience the joy those people were having.. My mind was deep in thought when,

"ALEXA, hold up!!"
What now ?! I turned around to see Kai running up to me, has he been following me this whole time??
"Kinda busy here Kai!!" I briskly replied and began to fast walk away from him, looking dead straight.
I stepped onto the road to cross the street with Kai still shouting at me

"ALEXA, ALEXA!!!"
I turned around mad "Kai, Leave. Me. Alone !!" Can a guy not take a hint?! I was not in the right space for a conversation!
He kept running towards me without stopping, he was really fast!
"WATCH OUT!!"
"Huh?"
Before I knew what was going on I saw a car speeding towards me!! I had no time to move, I was in shock! My heart was beating faster than lighting, this was the end..
Soon Kai on impulse ran out into the road and grabbed my hand pulling me towards him! We both tumbled over each other, but I was safe and the car sped off without killing me..

I was a little bit bruised from falling but I was still alive thanks to Kai. I wobbly stood up blushing looking at Kai who was also a little hurt.
"I guess I should thank you" I gave him my hand and helped him up. Our eyes met for a brief moment and we blushed at each other. I rubbed the back of my neck looking away.

"That's was definitely not an accident, someone tried to kill you!!"
"I doubt it... Anyway I guess I should get going.."
"Yeah, or I could wait for you to get changed and we can then discuss our mission."
"Uhhh. Sure.."
The awkwardness was overwhelming...
He followed me home and waited downstairs while I went to get changed. I wore ripped jeans and a red crop top hoping to look bad girlish for Hunter to give me the job. However I couldn't stop thinking about the car racing towards me, did someone wanted me dead!?

I shook my head and went downstairs to meet Kai. He stared at me with his mouth slightly parted.
"What?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"You, look nice." He gave me the earpiece which I put in.
"Thanks? But we have to go, I'm late!"
We speed walked to Cafe Louve. As soon as I got there, my breathing got rapid and I felt lightheaded, there was the vile creature, Hunter sitting at the back.
Kai gave me a thumbs up for good luck and I went to Hunter!

"Totally not suspicious"
"W, what?"
He was smirking at me. "You walked in with a guy and both of yous are bruised and you dressed up to impress me-"
"Ok stop" I laughed. Oh my gosh why did I just laughed ughhh!
"So who's the guy?" He said with a raised eyebrow.
"Just a guy I ran into, but forget him, I'm here to see you" I tried to put on my best flirtation skills.
"Very nice Alexa"
"Huh what"
Oh it was Kai, I forgot he was talking to me in my earpiece!
"Who are you talking to?"Said Hunter still with his eyebrow up.
"No one.."
"You're acting so strange. Anyway why are you here?"
"I just wanted to spend more time with you-" I said gulping
"Alexa, you do know, it was just a one off, it meant nothing to me. We were drunk and stuff happened."
Those words hurt me, even though I hated him, that night was amazing to me.. I made up my mind to just ignore him and his rude remarks.
"Of course it meant nothing!" I quickly replied, showing no weakness.
"Anyway, I just want to get to know you better"
He looked unsure but replied "sure"
I started off by asking him his second name which I already knew.
"What's your full name?"
"Hunter Nile"
Liar, I said inside my head, it's Mancini! He literally told me it was Michal when he was drunk, and now he's lying!
"Aha, how old are you?"
"29 years old, look why are yous asking me all this?" He said suspiciously.
"I told you already, now what do you do for a living?"
"We have a family business"
"What type of business?"
He looked annoyed at me "It's really none of your business!"

We sat there in silence until Kai spoke up to me. "Tell him you lost your job and you need him to employ you"
"Hunter I'm sorry for bothering you it's just, I lost my job and I need work.." I tried to look as sad and cute as I could.

He looked at me without emotion. He didn't care.
"What experience do you have?"
Shit I thought to myself. "I'm very reliable, I'm good at business and my previous job was as a servant!"
"I don't think a sweet person like you is made for a job like mine.."
"I can just be a helper or a servant, I just need a job!" I said desperately. "Please..."
"What makes you think that my family business needs servants? For all you know we could be a car sellers."
My mouth dropped open. He was clever...

While Hunter was considering I saw Kai behind me giving money to a waitress and whispering something in her ear, what's he up to?
The waitress came up to me and said "Alexa! It's so good to see you"
"Yeah you too.."
What's going on?!? I went along with it nonetheless.
Hunter was staring back and forward between us also confused and interested.
"You were such a good helper, it's sad you left to become a professional fighter though..."
What's she on about?!?
"Yeah, I got some pretty good skills now.." I replied trying to play the part.
"You're amazing, nice seeing you!" And she rushed of as Kai was beckoning her to go to him.
"You're a professional fighter and servant hmm? Alexa I think you've gotten yourself a job!" Exclaimed Hunter!
