Chapter 10
1180 Words
I walked not up to 10 minutes and I see a small coffee shop.
And there's a vacancy notice outside, Perfect.
I walk in and I'm taken aback by how busy this place actually is. It may be small, but they sure have a lot of customers.
I walk up to a blonde girl about my age behind the counter.
" Um hi, My name's-"
She walked to the other end of the counter and I followed her there.
"Charmaine, my name's Charmaine. I was wondering-"
She walked to the opposite end again. I'm getting frustrated and I can feel my face heating up.
"Can you just stay still for a second and listen to me?!" She glanced at me and continued what she was doing like I wasn't even there
"Rude much?" I huffed
A sweet looking elderly woman came out from the back and smiled at me." Please pardon Cassidy over here" She said while glaring at her
Cassidy, she sure looks like one
"What can I help you with dear?" She asked, smiling sweetly
" My name's Charmaine, I saw a notice outside saying there was a vacancy and I was wondering if it's still available"
"Of course dear, it's still available"
"Great, when can I start?"
"You can start right now if you don't mind. We're a little short on waitresses" She said almost pleadingly
"Sure"
She went in and got my uniform. "You can just go into the back and get dressed. And please, try not to dress in an alarming way, like Cassidy over here"
I look over at her and see that the first three buttons of her shirt were undone and her skirt looks like she'd messed with it to make it tighter and shorter. "Don't worry ma'am, I wont "
I finish dressing and honestly, I'm not happy with mine. I mean it hugs me in all the right places but that's the issue, I don't want it to. I don't want any of the male customers looking at me weirdly. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and sighed
I walk out from the back to meet the old lady. " Um Mrs-" I pause realizing I don't know her name
"Helen, call me Helen"
"Okay Helen, um I think my uniform's a little small for me" I feel her gaze sweep down my body then she looks up to meet my eyes
"Nonsense! You look beautiful dear" She said rather excitedly
"O-okay, If you say so"
I walk towards and position myself at the counter
"Uh I man the counter, YOU go get the customers orders" Cassidy said in a rather high-pitched voice
Nice, she even sounds like a Cassidy. You may be asking how I know how a Cassidy looks and sounds, well, I've read enough books to know a lot of those things.
I roll my eyes, take a little notepad and a pen and walk out to interact with the customers.
After ten excruciatingly long hours of work, it's finally time to close. Cassidy scurried off the moment the clock read 6:59 pm. I roll my eyes. It's not even seven yet.
"Uh Helen, I could stay back and help you clean up. You can leave, I'll lock up when I'm done cleaning"
"Oh darling, are you sure? I can handle it" She said
"I'm sure Helen, you just go home and rest"
"Alright dear, thanks a lot, let me just get my things from the back" She said while walking off. I could tell she was happy by my offer
Such a sweet old lady
I'm cleaning the glasses when I hear the ding of the bell on the door, signifying that someone just came in
"I'm sorry, but we're-"
I was cut short when my eyes met another pair, the most lovely shade of grey I've ever seen. The man had Jet black hair and a very sharp jawline. His eyes were piercing but were also cold and held no emotion. He was wearing a blue tuxedo with a black dress shirt and dress shoes underneath
I was snapped out of my trance by a man clearing his throat behind him. I didn't even notice that there were two other men behind him, they both wore long dark coats for some reason
"Um I'm sorry but we're closing in a few minutes" I say trying to sound bold but only ended up squeaking
"We're here now so you WILL attend to us" he said coldly
He had a little hint of and accent, maybe Spanish or Italian. Wait, why does that voice sound familiar?
"But sir-" One look from him and I knew there's no room for negotiation.
"Alright, please take your seat, I'll be there in a minute"
They take their seats and I go to meet them with my little notepad
"What will you like to order?"
"I'll have black coffee, no sugar or milk" The tuxedo man said
What is he, an alien?
"What about you two?" I ask, turning to face the other two men
"Two Raf coffee please for us please"
He sounds Russian
"Coming right up"
"Uh Helen, I know it's past closing time but we have three customers, please whip them a cup of black coffee, no sugar or milk and two raf coffee"
"Alright, coming right up" I giggled, that's what I said
"Come and get it!" Helen yelled
I look at my wristwatch. Two minutes, that was fast
I take their coffees in a tray and place it before them. Tuxedo guy reaches for his first and takes a sip. I notice the other two look at themselves and nod from the corner of my eye then tuxedo guy's phone rang.
"Excuse me" He said, standing up and going outside the shop
Теперь, как и планировали, мы накачиваем его наркотиками и забираем обратно к боссу. [Now, as planned, we drug him and take him back to the boss.]
I narrowed my eyes slightly. They have no idea I can understand them
Извините, но как мы должны это делать? [Sorry, but how're we supposed to do that?]
Ты дурак, он оставил свой кофе без присмотра. мы можем влить успокоительное до того, как он вернется [ You fool, he left his coffee unattended. We can pour in the sedative before he gets back]
My eyes widened when I realized they were talking about tuxedo guy. I see one of them bring out a white substance from his coat pocket
Hmm, I wonder what else maybe be underneath that coat of his
Not the point! My conscience screamed
I know I know, sorry. Gotta think fast, gotta think fast. Got it!
I quickly snatch the cup from the table
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" One of the Russian guys asked
"I uh-"
"What do you think you're doing with my coffee?" I hear a voice behind me and I freeze. I slowly turn around to see tuxedo guy glaring at me. I gulped
"I uh... can you please come with me for a few minutes?
