Bad Dream

Chapter 2 : You are my Goddess

2 weeks later

'Hello ,what can I get for you today ?' , I smile at the customer as they recite their order .

It's been almost 3 weeks since I got attacked. All the news has been reporting on is the two new bodies which have been found as well as the disappearances of 5 well known gang members .I didn't think a group of people could commit such varied and dangerous crimes and not get caught. It makes you question how safe we really are, and the police are no closer to finding them.

"Are you right to finish up Sahara?",I snap out of my day dream and nod at my boss as I begin to mop the floors .

By the time I have finished cleaning up the clock on the wall says 7:00pm. I grab my keys , lock up and head to my car . I drive to the grocery store to buy groceries for dinner .I arrive at the store , grab my bag and exit the car . Peaceful music fills the store as I slowly walk the aisles with my basket ,I close my eyes and take a deep breath in as I continue walking. I roughly hit some one and fall onto my behind with a loud "oomph". I open my eyes to see who I hit ,its a man who couldn't be more than 25.

He is laughing to himself , "Sorry for that ,are you all right?" . He says as he extends his hand out to me ,I take it and once again steady myself on my feet .

I smile back at him , "I am really clumsy , its my fault".

I am in disbelief as I see that he is incredibly good looking , even in a plain white T-shirt ,leather jacket and black jeans he manages to look effortlessly put together . His angular face is really distracting and compared to my flustered self he looks like he wouldn't sweat even in a sauna.

"I'm Ambrose", he says . "Wow great name" ,I blush as I realize I said that out loud but Ambrose just laughs .

"Uhm I'm Sahara", he nods his head. "Hopefully I'll see you again soon, Sahara".He says as he walks away.

I shake my head in disbelief and get back to my shopping . As I leave the store I once again see Ambrose' face. It stays with me until I walk through the door . As I begin to cut up the vegetables for dinner the news plays in the background.

"Notorious gang leader Troy Firoucci has been found dead outside of Strobe night club ,his second in command Donnie Martinelli was also killed .This is suspected by police to be the work of another anonymous gang working in and around the city . This is the 53rd and 54th murder left in the wake of this mysterious gang".

My Mum turns to me , "Detective Smith wasn't lying about how dangerous they are , that could have been you". I just nod but later as I am falling asleep the question repeats. Why am I still alive?
