Risen.

Chapter 2

The kitchen is bustling and orders are going in and out and my hands are starting to get weak from holding trays. I sigh as I head over to wait the next table. Flipping my tablet open, I sigh and smile before asking in my well practiced polite voice

"Good day. I am going to be your waiter today. My name is Eva. What will you like to order?"

The man on the table looks up at me and the second he does I feel my breath catch in my throat. He is handsome. Sorry he is ... I can't describe him. With full lips, a perfectly sculpted brow, a light stumble and defined cheekbones and jaw, he is really breathtaking. Unconsciously, I stand up straighter and my lips stretch even more.

And I hate myself for reacting this way because I hate it when people do that to me. But here I am being all miss pushy chest at him.

"Um... Anything? What do you recommend?" He says in a surprisingly deep baritone.

For a moment, I forget my lines but I recover just in time to say,

"Our special today is pretty nice."

"Oh I'll have it, whatever it is."

He smiles and I look away nodding. I have to look away so I can keep breathing. I places the order and run over to find Alissa. She is the patisserie and she is rolling dough.

"Allysa, there is a really cute guy outside you have to come see."

She looks up at me and in a flat tone she says,

"When you behave like this, you seem less like a mom and a lot like a teenage girl."

I pout and she says,

"Don't pout. You're pretty when you pout. Too pretty for your own good."

I shrug and look at her working before asking,

"We have an hour left to closing right?"

She nods and I get up as I hear my order being called up.

"See you in a bit."

I go back to Mr. Handsome's table and he is engrossed in a discussion on the phone. He looks up briefly and nods at me , signalling me to drop the food. I am a little disappointed because unlike everybody else he doesn't seem to spare me a single glance. I turn around and bump into someone and I see it is a huge man in a suit and dark glasses. I murmur and apology and look around, noticing there are men in suits standing in specific positions around the restaurant. Some are situated outside around a few tinted cars. I wonder who the important guest is as I head to wait another table. After about what seems like eternity I walk out the restaurant with Alissa.

People are talking about the important guest and wondering who it is. Alissa doesn't care and I don't really care but I am slightly curious.

"I don't really care." She says when I ask her who she thinks it is.

"Shut up". I tell her. She doesn't seem to care about lots of things and I wish I could be a lot like her. God knowns I try.

"Okay, I get".

"I'm glad you do".

"You're coming to the house right?"

"Only to say hi to my god daughter".

I stick my tongue out at her and we both get into my - our corolla.

I can't say I hate my job. Yes I hate serving tables but I get to be with Alissa and the pay is really awesome. I have a nice apartment and I can comfortably take care of my child. But I hate how I can't spend a lot of time with Julie.

About 15 minutes later, we get to the apartment where I live. Its actually very nice and affordable.

As I step into my living room, I see my live-in nanny rocking Julie to bed. But she starts crying again when the door swings shut.

I walk over to her and take her gently. She quiets down when I put my nipple in her mouth and I look down at her. Seeing her makes me fall in love with her all over again.

When I was pregnant with her, I used to feel that there would be times when I will look at her and hate her for what her father did but I don't think there will ever be a time like that now she's here.

"Can I hold her?"

"Sure".

I place her in Alissa arms and I go to my room to take a shower and possibly get some rest.

But Julie and Alissa have different plans. With Julie crying and Alissa talking, I don't get to bed till it's a little least midnight.

But could I be any happier?
