☕Chapter 1☕
The DaySonia stormed out of the lobby, shoving the glass door open and raced across the pavement to cross the road, she didn't even check if the road was clear. The only thing she wanted to check if clear was her closet. She's leaving.
The loud honking of a horn startled her, before she could look to see where it came from, everything when white.
"Call her husband, Mr. Anwar! This is bad!" She heard a voice ever so distantly, her eyes felt heavy as they began to shut.How did she end up here?
Let's take a rewind to the day it all started, shall we?
☕☕☕
Sonia was a beautiful, twenty-five year old melanin beauty. She worked as a waitress for a cafe. It didn't pay much but was enough for food, clothing, shelter and her bills.
She was social bit also loved some time to herself, have some junk food and watch whatever seemed interesting. From anime to a good ol' Netflix series.
"Hello! Earth to Sonia!" Her coworker snaped their fingers in front of her face, snapping out of reality. Sonia's eyes blinked as she fell out of her trance.
"Sorry, Ezra I spaced out a little."
"Better cut it or the manager will give you a 'space out paycheck'." She snapped.
Sonia giggled, "Alright."The bell rang, alerting both Ezra and Sonia that new customers came in.
Ezra hit Sonia on her buttocks, making her jump off the stool.
"Go on now," Ezra shooed her, "I'm tired too, damn." She sat on the stool.Sonia rolled her eyes as she watched the three well-dressed men have a seat. "What some rich lookin' folks doin' all the way here?" Ezra asked.
Sonia waited a while for the men to get settled in before approaching their table with a notepad and pen."Good afternoon gentlemen," The man close to her was was eying her like a fresh-off-the-stove dish with his hazel orbs.
"I'm Sonia and I'll be your waitress for today. What would you three gentlemen like?"
"A panini press with a citrus punch."
"A herbal iced tea for me."
"Coffee. Black."She wrote down their orders, "Your orders will be with you shortly." She gave them a polite smile before turning around to leave.
"Beautiful."
"Excuse me?" Her head shot around to meet the same hazel-eyed man.
"Sonia, means beautiful in hindi. Which also means 'Where she goes, happiness brings', and a few others."
"Oh, " Her cheeks flushed, "T- thank you, I didn't know that.." She bit in a smile, "I'll go get your orders." She sped back to the counter."Geez, Amari, leave the young lady alone." She could hear one of his partners say. Amari, that's his name.. Ezra was paying attention to the whole thing and as soon as Sonia came over she asked, "What happened? What he say?" She looked over to the men then to her.
"Beautiful, he said my name meant beautiful." Sonia replied, giving Ezra the order.
"Damn, I wish a guy could tell me what my name meant. All I know is that it's a biblical one.." She pouted as she went to the kitchen to place the order.Sonia was tempted to look over to his table, as she felt his eyes on her. Soon enough, Ezra came back with the orders.
"Try not to look stupid." She dropped a wink.
Sonia took the tray and walked away, "When I see you.." She could hear Ezra mocking her far behind with the Fantasia song."I hope you didn't wait long."
"No, not at all."
"We have time." The other two replied.
She distributed their orders and they thanked her.
"Do enjoy your meal." she said and made her retreat.The entire time the other waitresses were pestering her with questions and ranting. What she gathered was that Amari was a super rich guy who has yet inherit his dad's agency. Great, she thought, The last thing I needed was a cliché Wattpad Billionare story.
"Wait, I think they're calling you." One of the girls shook her. One of his partners were calling her over. She sighed as she made her way over to their table.
"Thanks for the meal."
"Thank you for visiting, please come again." Without replying, the two rushed out and left their friend and her alone.She looked down at Amari, he stood up, making her take a few steps back.
He pulled the pouch of her apron and dropped something inside.
"Great service, Sonia." He said, followed by a wink before he left her there speechless.
