Her dream Mate

chapter 2

Shiann looked at her friend puzzled but just shrugged it off. She looked around at all the staff that had arrived .

" Hey , isn't Lily working today too" Shiann asked not seeing her other friend, although they didn't hang out after work they still got along great while there and they were always asking her to go out with them.

" Hmm, I wonder where she is," Kyra said, looking around too, shrugging she looked over at Shiann. " Maybe she called in sick,"

Shiann looked at her friend unconvinced and still worried this was so unlike her . If she were going to call in, she always called one of them, but neither of them had gotten a call from her.

Kyra could see how worried she was. " Alright, if neither of us can reach her by the end of our shift, we will go to her place to check on her."

I nodded , she didn't say anything else because the door opened and two men came in and sat down, it was Kyra 's table so I went back to what I had been doing before we got discussing Lily.

More customers started coming in slow at first, but soon the diner was packed, and we were running around trying to

keep up.

Finally, all the tables had their food and drinks when Kyra looked at Shiann. " Thank God it is insane this morning," She said, looking around at the fairly large diner.

There were close to fifty tables, all packed and fifteen stools at the counter all full too, and most of them were men just finishing work or getting ready for work.

I grabbed the coffee pot to go see if anyone needed a top-up of coffee. I started to hear snipets of conversation, but one thing caught my attention.

" Yeah, this is the second girl that's gone missing now," one man was saying to the one across from him.

Both men were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice me at first. It wasn't until I cleared my throat that they looked at me.

Two pairs off eyes turned to look at me, one was from inquisitive amber eyes and the other were hard, cold and amber too, I figured they were brothers from looking at them , both had the same dark hair , strong jaws and powerfully built , and even though they were sitting down I could tell they were tall.

" Do you want a top-up of your coffee?" She asked them, indicating the coffee pot in her hand.

Both men just shook their heads no , and I moved to the next table , a young couple that was holding hand and looking into each other's eyes , but I really wasn't paying much attention to them.

My head was spinning. Two girls had disappeared. What about Lily ? has she disappeared as well?

Shiann looked around at the crisp white walls, the clear glass door and the huge glass windows but not really seeing any of it , the knot in the pit of her stomach grew from worry to almost panic.

I knew I had to hold it together until I was able to get to Lily's place and found out what was going on

My concern continued to grow throughout the day, as no one had been able to get ahold of Lily.

Finally , the end of our shift came, and the we girls hurried out the door and turned left to head to Lily's place.
