Katana's Revenge

Always Finding Trouble

Song: Dancing with a Stranger by Sam Smith and Normani

ReAnn doesn't get in to way after noon. I am in the process of getting ready for work. I am already dressed and at the moment going over some much needed homework that I have neglected to do all weekend. "Oh my God...Ana...he is freaking amazing. I'm telling you I think I have died and gone to heaven."

I laugh, "Well I hate to break it to you honey, you still haven't died yet because I haven't killed you."

"Ha...Ha...very funny. So what are you doing?"

"Homework. I have classes tomorrow, remember."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot you still go to school," she giggles. "So you want to grab a bite to eat...I'm starving?"

I look up at the clock. "Sure, I have a little time before I have to be into work."

"Do you ever have a day off?"

"Not really," I breathe out.

We end up going to a Waffle House because she insist on breakfast even though it's like two in the afternoon. Afterwards I drop her back off at the apartment and I head in to work. Sundays are not as busy as the weekend or even during the week but it's still pretty steady.

 I had hoped to have bumped into him but he isn't here. I wonder if he is making himself not be around me. I feel like I did something wrong. Hell I probably did. Why do I even care, it's not like we are going to ever be together. I mean hell, I'm just a little girl to him and he needs a real woman. Someone that can meet all his needs. And that someone isn't me. I'm stupid for even thinking about him, thinking that he even likes me that way.

When I get home, ReAnn is passed out on the sofa. I look around and the house is actually cleaned up. Wow, I'm surprised. I find a blanket and cover her up and then head to the bathroom to take a quick shower and then off to bed. I have classes to attend tomorrow.

She is still out the next day so I leave her a note and then I head off to my first class of the day. When I get home I get ready for work and she is gone. Hopefully out looking for a job because I can't afford for both of us to live.

Another night at work and he is still nowhere in sight. He does this randomly but I still have that feeling in the back of my head that he is doing it on purpose, not to see me. By the end of the week I ask Marco if he has seen him. "Where has Mr. Moretti been this week; have you seen him?"

"He has been here all day. He has been everyday but I guess leaving early to check in at his other places. Why you need to talk to him?"

"No." I shake my head sadly. "I just haven't seen him lurking around like usual, thought maybe something was wrong."

"Nah...just busy."

Yeah, busy avoiding me. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean I kind of want to see him but then I don't. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. All week long is the same thing. Ok so he is avoiding me...why? I never get the chance to ask him because he never shows up, even on our busiest nights which is very unusual for him.

"All right what is bothering you. You have been practically moping around here all week?" says ReAnn.

"Have I? I'm sorry; I didn't realize I have been."

"Seriously...what is wrong?"

When I don't say anything she glares at me.

"You are falling in love with him aren't you. I knew this was going to happen."

I shake my head no. "No! No I'm not." But I see the look in her eyes. "Ok! Maybe a little, I don't know it's just all freaking week it's like he is ignoring me. Seriously, he is at the restaurant all day until I get there so I know he is doing it on purpose, I just don't know why."
