Welcoming The Darkness

Chapter Two

I set my alarm to go off at eight thirty this morning, but as I opened my eyes it was ten thirty. f**k, I wanted to be able to eat and shower before I had to leave at twelve. Here I am forfeiting my right to food because I couldn't possibly go to work unshowered. Since when did I care about everyone seeing me? This new feeling is all so new. I have never given a care in the world. Could it be because I would be in the presence of high power? Or, is it because I have this knowing feeling like they know I have been digging? Is this all a distraction from something bigger at play? To think I'm got this in the bag is an understatement of the century for me. I have always been told from a young age that wherever I go I will cause trouble, that even in the end, I will never be able to escape it, because that is what a mistake is destined to do.

I put that bad thought behind me because all though my parents hated me with a passion, I have still come out on top. I have struggled and I believe one day I will find someone to help me with those demons, but until then I am still the girl I once knew. I'm twenty-three years old with dark brown hair, brown eyes, and five feet, and even live alone, something that my parents told me I could never do. They made me think that I wasn't capable of doing things on my own, but I showed them, didn't I? After all this thinking, I realized I had wasted yet another hour on nothing. So, I rushed and got all I needed to before I left the house. Grabbing my keys, phone, and jacket. I headed off to the place I wanted to be at the least today.

Walking into work, everyone was already heard pulling down chairs and making sure everything was in order before the big dinner party was to arrive. Tonight we won't have many guests because when the high powers show up they want as much privacy as possible to discuss whatever they do. That is another big tip off of what they are capable of doing. I'm not as nervous as I was waking up, but kinda of have butterflies now. As we opened, a few guests showed to pick up some stuff they ordered online, but after they left, we weren't allowing the public in at all tonight. Also, one more good thing to come from this night was it was the best pay I have ever received for working here. They want to make sure we'll keep quiet if we do happen to over hear anything that is said here.

As three o'clock arrived, everything seemed to be in the right order. People started to pull in without a moment to spare. The first, walks in Austin, sitting at about 5' 9' and very built with grayish blue eyes and dark brown hair, almost black, he is joined by two of his bodyguards. They are massively built as well. Next to walk in are both Jackson and Connor. They are about the same height, averaging at about 6'0', with blonde hair and brown eyes. Lucas comes after with his bodyguards as well and he has brown hair that is kinda long with very built muscles as well. Standing at a whopping 6'2' and with brown eyes. Damn, all these men are built to perfection. They have every girl begging at their feet for a ride, I bet. As Matteo comes in looking fine in all his glory at 6'4' built like a brick wall with tattoos covering both arms and his neck and probably his whole body as well. He has green eyes and dirty blonde hair. And he always seems so uptight about the world.

I waited a little longer to see if Viktor's men were going to show up but it didn't seem like it, so I showed myself to where the men had been placed and asked them for their drink orders. As I turned around, there stood a man as tall as Matteo was, but his body was the definition of sexy. I couldn't help but check him out. I noticed this man had blue eyes and dark blonde hair but not yet dirty blonde hair. He had just as many or more tattoos as Matteo did. This man screamed wealthy and powerful with a whole lot of confidence and deternintation. Wearing a three-piece suit that he held the jacket in his arms, it was all black and to add a splash of color, he had topped it off with a royal blue tie. Clearing his throat, I snapped out of my daze when I realized I had been staring too long. Then I realised that I had no idea of who this eye candy was.
