Chapter 5 Five

CHAPTER FIVE

.

I had this terrible dream were Raymond Knight tried to kill me . I woke up sweating.

" You're okay?" Alaina asked. She's studying.

" Maybe I am okay. I had this bad dream that Raymond tried to kill me." I said and push the sheets off my body.

" Yeah? Cause Jones was here."

" What? What does he want?"

" I don't know. Said he wanted to talk to you. I asked him to leave."

" What does he even want with me? Hasn't he ruined me enough."

" Well maybe he isn't done with you yet. You should go take a bath, we need to be at work ASAP." She said and I nodded.

I wrapped my hair up in a messy bun as I walked to the bathroom to take a bath.

.....

" There you go." I gave the customer his orders. He smiled at me and walked out.

" So, Kimberly, we heard you vomited on Raymond Knight? How true is that?" Sofia asked. She's one of the waitresses.

" I don't know."

" What do you mean by you don't know. We saw the video."

" Yeah? You already watched what happened. It's no big deal. Jesus." I walked away from them.

" I heard he brought guys over to your house to rape you?" Nicki said.

" What the fuck!" I exclaimed.

" Who the fuck told you guys that?" Alaina asked from the kitchen.

" Sofia did." The girls said.

" I didn't say shit. They are all lying." Sofia defended herself.

" Still, we're still surprised you threw up all over Raymond Knight and he didn't cut your head off."

" And what's he exactly?"

" He's like a God. You don't fuck with him." Nicki said.

" And he's good looking. He's so hot. Hot enough to boil water." Sofia emphasize. She's blushing.

" Good God." I muttered. This is more disgusting than I thought."

" Oh please, everyone knows you will won't pass the chance to be in his bed." Sofia said. What's her deal? She acts like I actually took something away from her. Something she couldn't have.

" We're not like you, Sofia. We all have choices." Alaina said as she drops cupcakes in front of me.

" And what's that supposed to mean?" Sofia asked as she glared at me.

Someone needs to tell her I'm not the one who said it. She's acting like she hated me. I picked up the cupcakes and begin arranging them in the transparent case.

" She meant not everyone will do anything to be in a rich man's bed." I said.

" How dare you?" Sofia asked as she approached me.

Knew she's got something up her sleeves.

" You know, it surprises me you act like I actually stole something from you. Oh wait! Have you been admiring Jones? Goddamnit, why didn't I see the picture?" I shook my head and continue arranging the cupcakes.

" At least he dumped your miserable ass for a more prettier girl." Sofia said. Jeez that stings.

" Sofia, quit it." Alaina intervened.

" Thank you for telling me what I don't know. You're no different from me." I told her. Sofia groans as she slapped me.

" Hey, stop it." Alaina tried to stop her.

She just touched the wrong button as I flip at once. My hand go across her face and it leaves a hand print on her cheek. Sofia screams as she grabbed my hair. I punched her and smack against the case, it smash at once.

" What on heaven's name is going on?" I heard Carolina's voice as I stopped.

" Fucking bitch." I spat.

" Both of you, inside now." Carolina ordered.

I glared at Sofia as we both enter the backroom. I don't like being here.

.....

I cross my arms as I stare at Mrs. Nancy. She owns Tasty Nancy.

" What's that all about? Fighting during duty."

" I'm sorry ma. It's not what you think." I said.

" What do you mean by it's not what I think? Fighting over a man in my restaurant? Can you both listen to yourselves?" She yelled.

" She started it." Sofia pointed at me.

I felt like cutting off her fingers that instant. I hate this hoe.

" I don't care who started it. You both take a break." She said.

" What?"

" You're both suspended. You're not coming back until I'm in a good mood and I want you guys back. Leave, both of you."

" Please madam." Sofia pleaded.

One thing I've come to understand Nancy hated is begging. She hates it to her core. I sigh and turn around as I leave. I know I'm made of bad luck. It hovers above me every goddamn time.

.....

I stop by at the cafe not too far from campus. I ordered for latte as I sat at the corner booth. My phone vibrated for the one hundredth time. It's a text message from Alaina. It's nice she cared about me.

Most times I felt like giving up in life generally, Alaina was always there to give me hope. I can't keep a boyfriend, I can't keep a friend and now I can't keep a job. What exactly is wrong with me?

I sip my coffee and look out the transparent walls. It suddenly felt cold in here. I don't like the feeling I felt each time a place feels cold. Raymond Knight used to carry that type of energy each time he enters a place. It's like I'm the only one who usually notice the room is always cold each time he steps in.

The door opened wider and of course Raymond Knight strolled in. Looking all gorgeous.

God stop it Kimberly. I pretended not to see him as i look down at my coffee. I played with the tip of my hair. How bad can this day be?

From under my lashes, I watch him go to the counter to order something. He's obviously toned and we'll built. It's like I could see his fine muscles through his black long sleeve button up shirt.

My eyes trailed down his body to his arms. Damn, how can one man be this heavenly gorgeous and breath taking at the same time.

" You're more weird than I imagined." I heard that deep seductive voice. I darted my head up at once only to find Raymond's rare iris staring into my soul.

Wait, when did he got here?

" Uh..."

" You're the worse admirer I've ever seen. You were staring at me like you were fucking me in your head."

Jesus, who talks like that.

" What?" I stuttered.

" I should be asking you that. Next time watch where you're looking." He said as he walks out, taking his cold presence along with him.
