Blindsided

2

Love travels like mail, it's slow but.once it gets there its exciting

I was in the coffee shop cleaning one of the counter tops because a four year old boy had poured a bunch of grape jelly on it

Dont get me wrong I loved kids and want some of my own but they were messy as hell

"Malachite go and ring up the next person in line" she looked at me and a smirk was plastered on her glowing face

what was she up to

"Barb I told you to call me Mala" I groaned and she rolled her eyes

I put on my apron walking behind the counter but hadent looked ou yet because I was tying my apron

"What can I get you?" I asked looking up

He had dark green eyes and black short cut hair that had fallen on his forehead,he was muscular and very tall ,just around six foot ,very tan too. Tatoos were scattered around his arms

I stopped my gawking as he just stared at me

"Can I get a coffee?" His voice was like velvet

"What would you like in it?" I asked politely

He shook his head and pushed his hair off of his forehead

" uh. just creamer " he said gruffly

I walked to the coffee machines and filled up a coffee cup and added a heart with the creamer like I was supposed to

I walked over to the counter and handed it to him

He grabbed the cup and sat down in a booth in the corner

About an hour later I was still serving people when barb took over for me

"Thanks " I mumbled wiping the sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand

I set my apron on the counter and walked outside after putting my jacket on

I decided to take a walk because that's what I do on most of my breaks

That's when somone covered my mouth with there hand

His hand was dirty I could tell because it was rough and dirt fell from it

I screamed but he pinched my nose so I couldn't breathe

My muffled screams reminded me of when my mom died

He pushed me up against the wall to were my feet were dangling

"No" I screamed in his hand again

I bit his hand and he immediately punched my stomach making me fall on the ground

I screamed as loud as I could but he grabbed my feet and pulled me into the alley

" you bitch" he yelled pinning me on the ground choking me

That's when I felt pain piercing in my leg
