Destruction

CHAPTER 3

*Flashback*

'"Hi, welcome to 'Dianna's,"my name is Jax, what is there I can help you with?"
It was her first day on the job and a group of guys had just walked in, She was the only waitress free and had to help them.
They were all looking her up and down, and saying crude things thinking she couldn't hear them. All except one, he was looking straight at her face, and softy smiling, she took their orders and then left to help other people.'

*Present*

She's standing outside of her job. Where it all started, where she met and lost him. She used to love this place, but now she hated it with a burning passion.
It held so many memories that it hurt. She takes a deep breath and puts on a smile and acts like she's happy. She starts to think back on the past few days. She was still wondering why he cared for her. Or if her mind was playing tricks on her.

She was halfway through her shift when he came in and sat in the back like he did last time, she feels a strange sense of déjà vu walking towards him and Gina was next to her again, but she didn't try to get to him first, she glared from a distance. She got up to him, "you want what you had last time?" She asked carefully not to repeat the words she asked " m him" in this same predicament. He looked up at her for a split second before she turned her head. "Yeah, I would love that again." He sighed in disappointment. She was broken and he wanted to put her back together but she wasn't making it easy. By the time she came back with his food, he had a plan to fix her.

Her shift over, she walked out trying to figure out where she was going to sleep that night. She was about to pull up motels nears her when a car pulled up in front of her, and a small smile was almost visible when the window rolled down. Can I help you miss? He coaxed her, David ran to her side and opened the door. She bit her lip as she got in gasping when she saw she wasn't alone. Dexter was in the car also, he gave her a plate and when she opened it there was 2 slices of pizza, she looked at him with confusion written on her face. "Why? "She asked "why are you being so kind to me?" he didn't know what to say. "I don't know' honestly I don't want anything from you it's just when I saw you I knew you needed help and I wanted to be the one to save you."

He cupped her face. "I see you." She felt her throat close in and she couldn't breathe. He sat back down and looked out the window leaving her to deal with what he said. They got to his house and she followed him to his room. "You can sleep on that side, all the other room are taken for when family comes."

She nodded her head not trusting her voice, he brought her some clothes that looked too big for her. She bit her lip and nodded her head thank you. They fell asleep shortly after.

When she woke up, she saw that his arm was on her waist and they were cuddled up together, she smiled softly, remembering the last time she was in this position. She started to trace her finger around his chest not wanting this moment to end, after a few minutes his eyes fluttered open and he smiled at her. "Good morning," she said as she smiled back at him "Good morning, love." Her smile fell and she got up untangling herself from his warmth. She looked away, "I have to use the bathroom."

He got up with a sigh and told her to follow him. She grabbed her clothes before heading there. "Thank you for everything but I don't have the money to pay you back and I need to figure out where I'm going to live next."

She said after she came out of the bathroom. He laughed. "You think you need to pay me back? Don't worry kitten, and about your living situation; you can live here, and if you don't want to live for free you can work as one of my maids." She didn't know what to say, she was going to decline but she figured that would be a stupid thing to do. "Okay, but what's the uniform?"

She wished she never asked, it looked like a Halloween costume, the slutty kind. "I'm not wearing that." He laughed as she pouted and crossed her arms. "Just deal with it until I can get you a new one." She scoffed as he left so she could change into it. When she came out fully dressed he looked up to see her and his voice got caught in his chest. "Say something," she said shyly.

He walked up to her and tilted her head so they were looking into each other's eyes. He said nothing as his hand trailed down her neck down to where her cleavage was most prominent. She couldn't breathe, she was in this position before, with him. "Please," she tried not to let the tears fall but the memories were too much. He stopped touching her, ashamed of himself. He looked away, "Never mind the maid thing you can live here for free." he said then walked away.

She left him alone for the rest of the day. When she started to get tired she walked to their shared room. She opened the room to see him looking out the window. "I'm sorry for earlier, that was wrong it's just that I can't control myself around you, and I know what it's like to be at rock bottom when nothing you do is good enough and you'll never amount to nothing."

He then turns around to face her. She walks to him slowly and places her hand on his face. "It's okay, it's that nobody has cared for me for a long time, I've lost everything, and I've been alone, up until now." she tries to hold back the tears, but they fall as she tries to compose herself.

He tilts her head up and kisses her lightly. She kisses him back all the pain she feels goes into the kiss, they end up on the bed. It's just them right now, no past, and no future, just them in the here and now.

She wakes up to see he's still there, their legs wrapped around each other and they were spooning. She smiles to herself as she sees his arm holding her waist. All of a sudden one of the maids knocks on the door. "Sir, your mother is here." She gets up frantically, waking him in the process, she puts on her extra diner uniform. "What's wrong?" She throws him his clothes. "Your mom is downstairs." He then got up.

She turns her head away, seeing as he was naked. He sighed and got dressed casually since he wasn't going to work today. He grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him. She took a deep breath as he leaned in to kiss her. She turned her head at the last minute having him kiss her ear. He stared at her but said nothing.

They walked out together and saw his mom was waiting for him, "I see you still enjoy your 'friends'." She said when she saw his hand on her waist. She went to move away, but he didn't falter. "Last time I checked, Mamá. I was a grown man, in his own house. That owns his own company." He then proceeded to sit her down and get her breakfast. His mother then said something in Spanish then walked to his office

After an hour she then got a ride from David to go to work which was uneventful and was dropped back at Dexter's house, when she walked in and went into the shared room, she saw a beautiful black dress laid out for her. "Get dressed we're going to a gala."
