The Gambler's Girl

Chapter 1

JACIE

 I was Jacie your average kid doing average stuff that didn't involve violence, I sticked by the rules never bending them even a little bit and everyone hated me for it being the good little girl never having a bad side, I thought I never needed one to make someone like me I was fine being myself whether people liked me or not. 

I was 18 years old, had a twin brother named Jace and we were the closest of them all he was my best friend and I was his even though we didn't tell each other all our secrets we were still close with one another. 

My father was Jacob Perez and my mother Knady Perez you would have known them from owning almost all the gambling companies in the world leaving good wealth to me and my brother and no they are not dead they were very much alive. The reason I got a job in this small diner is because I wanted to make a earning off of my own hard work and not my father's wealth. So here I am and this is my story.

"Table 10 Jacie," I heard Linny said she was the manager,"I don't pay you to look up into space.

"Hey don't worry bout her, your boyfriend probably left her again."Quinn said. 

Quin was my friend that worked to the dinner and she was the only person who I would talk to when I was to work. I made my way over to the table. I hoped I wouldn't make a fool of myself, he looked intimidating, he also had other men sitting across from him.

"Welcome to Hobbits where we hope-"

"Cut the crap and take my order."His voice deep and he demanded.

All the shyness was gone and my emotion replaced with a feeling I couldn't describe after his blunt and rudeness just a few second ago. Who does this man think he is talking to me like that.

"What would you like to order then sir."I snickered at him.

He looked at me and smirked,"Ill take a triple cheeseburger with large fries and a Coke soda and a water..

I wrote everything at a fast pace along with take the other gentlemen orders too.

"Give me 10 minutes and I will be right with your food."I smiled walking away as he gave me a blank expression."Just hope I don't poison it."I muttered.

"That was kind of rude, what did you say to him."Quinn said.

"I didn't say anything I just was greeting him with our motto and he got all rude for no reason." 

"I'm glad it wasn't me who took his order."

After cleaning tree tables the rude's man order was done and I went to take all there food with them. When he looked at me with an annoyed face.

"What happen to coming back in 10 minutes huh?" He said

"Sorry sir as you can see we're kind of busy but it looks like you don't know how to talk to a lady?"I spat the other guys at his table laughed as I said that making him glare at them.

"All I'm saying is just don't make promises you can't keep baby. They come around like karma and kick you in the ass." He said as he looked into my eyes they were big and beautiful it was green. 

"I'll know for next time sorry again. Please do come again." I said he started to walk out with the other men.

"I will baby I promise."

I let out a breathe of relief as I rushed to the bathroom and look in the mirror at my flushed face. I have never acted so rude and so fluttered by a man on the other note I never had a man to feel this way about it was mostly work and school and home at my little apartment to sleep other than that I didn't do the relationship.

I splashed some water other my face, as I tried to snatch out of my sinful glaze thinking bout the man I just saw a few moments again for christ sakes Jacie you sound like a slut thinking bout him in that way I said to myself. 

I walked out the bathroom when I looked back to see the man I just was rudely insulted by standing at the counter. What does he want now.

"Yes sir?"

"I think you forgot to take the money for the meal." He said

OH thats right I was so busy thinking bout him I forgot bout the money.

"That would be 19.78 sir."

He handed me the money then made his way to leave again when he stopped and said.

"My name is Stephen not sir baby." I shiver when hsi name rolled off his tongue.

Stephen.
