Amaryllis: New beginning.

Mr Blue eyes and crew

It has been two weeks since I started my job at The Steam room. I'm so in love the vibe at the cafe. Su serves top of the range coffee for her customers. Which they are obsessed with, if you ask me.

The cafe serves breakfast and lunch, with coffee being served through out the day. The dishes go so well the different types of coffee that is served. Marko makes killer eggs, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas and fresh salads. The man's hands are magic. There are even some vegan options. And ofcourse, there are sweet treats for the sugar addicts. Su makes the most incredible cheese cake, damn if I could have that everyday. hmmm... I would.

Today is kinda slow, I say to Jenell. She is one of the waitresses here with me plus Mia, Carol and Jayjay, who is my fav. He is funny and full of life, that's for sure. huh, I cant believe, you said it. oh my word... Jenell starts to freak out and puts her head in both her hands and shrieks.

JayJay laughs... at her antics. She doesn't like those words, apparently it will jinks it. Clearly she doesn't love money like I do. I say bring them on. I want some tips honey...

I'm still confused about what is going on. Mia jumps in and says when its quiet like this and you say out loud, you just jinksed it. Now, the cafe will be packed today. she shrugs her shoulders and pops her gum. Jenell is just lazy, all she wants is a man with lots of money.

Excuse me, I just think that beautiful people shouldn't have to work.

Jay Jay gives her one look and says clearly you are not beautiful. Get to walking little girl. He waves his hand towards the door and in comes 3 customers. I just laugh at the their foolishness and grab a couple of menus for my tables.

I noticed that I'm laughing alot lately. like a genuine, loud and hearty laugh. I can say I'm really happy for the first time in a long time. i have the occasional nightmare but i dont let that get me down. Plus my anxiety has decreased.

Just as Jenell, predicted. The cafe got packed pretty fast and had all of us running all over the place. Making sure every customer gets catered to. I dont mind being on my feet, though I love keeping busy.

The afternoon was quiet busy, and coffe addicts were really at if today. I guess Jenell was right after all. I think I learnt my lesson, I'm not gonna jinx anything anytime soon. I am exhausted.

Thankfully, the cafe is slowing down, we serving the last few customers and trying to clean up. That way, clean up time wont be that hectic. As I'm wiping down the empty tables and taking away the dishes and cutlery. The bell by the door rings, indicating that a a potential customer has entered. I simply just roll my eyes at the sound of the bell.

Like really? who comes in just before we close... ugh, I'm really annoyed by the late appearance of customers... I brushed my irritated state off and I raise my head, ready to welcome a customer with our "Welcome to the Steam Room Cafe" phrase.

I froze for two seconds as three men enter, two of them dressed in black suits and the one dressed in a grey. My heart was racing so fast and my head was spinning, I actually dont know what to think. For a moment there I thought Alex had found me... I dont know why, but that was my first thought.

But these men look way to refined and sexy to be associated with scum like Alex. The guy in a grey suit, had such a dominant aura about him. It was some scary shit.. he slowly removed his black aviator sunglasses and boyyy...!!! The man is fine as f**k. His hair was black and slicked back. His eyes are deep, clear as the sky blue... and they made me weak and I couldn't help but stare for a moment.

I quickly regaining my composure, I mastered a smile and uttered the words Hi, Welcome to the Steam Room Cafe.

It sounded a abit picthy and flustered. Judging by the smirk on one of the guys in black. I would pretty much say that I did sound picthy and flustered. I cringed internally.

Would you like a table, I continued. Ofcourse Amary, top embarrassing yourself. I thought to myself.

With his continued smirk plastered on his face the guy in black, gives a light chuckle and say yes sweetheart, we would like a table and winks at me. I think blushed a little, I just hope they didn't notice. Please... this way, indicating for them to follow me. I lead them to one of my tables that are at the back of the cafe.

They take the their seats and give me their full attention. So what can I get you to drink? I ask and flash them a smile.

Mr. blue eyes looks down at his phone and starts typing away, on his phone. A black red bean coffee, no sugar. He says, without any emotion or acknowledging me in any. What a bitter man, probably just like his coffee.

I, my sweetheart will have a hot chocolate and I will only take it if you are making it. says the guy who winked at me.

uhh sorry that is not possible sir.

At this point I'm just trying very hard to be polite. Really? .. he asks, he puts his hand on his heart and fakes hurt. That's a damn shame, sweetheart. Now, I'm just fully annoyed by this group and snap. what about you Mr Mute. I ask the third guy who is just quiet. Like am I suppose to read his mind or something.

Mr. blue eyes chuckes lightly and sweetheart over here is rolling in full laughter.

He raises his eye brow and gives me a mean look. Just water, Mr Mute says. I will be back with your drinks and menu. I head for the counter to get their drinks prepared and grab menus.

I give the order to Su. She is responsible for making coffee, she being a barista. I quickly skip to the Kitchen to grab the water. I head back just as Su finished to prepare the coffee and hot chocolate. I place the 2 cups, water bottle and three menus in the tray. I make may to the table I'm now dreading to wait on.

I balance the tray at the edge of the table and start placing their drinks infront of the gentlemen. Black red bean coffee... hot chocolate and a water. I hold the tray with both hands and set the menus on the table. if you will be having anything to eat and are ready to order please let me know. I continued with my job. They just nod and I step away.

We are way past closing time. everyone went home. I decided to stay and help Su lock. The three gentlemen are still seated. They have been for 2 hours now. whatever they are discussing must be serious. they are just going at it.

I kinda wondered what exactly are they talking about.

ugh what ever its non of my business anyways. I did learn that Su knows them quite well actually. She sat with them for some time, they laughed and had a very animated conversation.

As I'm wiping down the counter, Su walks up to me. Hey sweetheart, you should head home now... I look at the three gentlemen, and was a bit hesitant to leave. Su notices my concern. oh dont worry, I will handle them. They will leave soon and I will lock up. See you tomorrow.

I grab my bag and say my goodbyes to Su. I head out into the night. My walk home is 15 minutes. I dont know how I have the energy for my walk home, after being on my feet all day. But it helps me clear my head. It is kinda therapeutic.

While I'm minding my business and making my way home. I notice a black Escalade driving slowly behind me. My heart rate right now is through the roof. I'm really not in the mood for whoever this i***t is.

All I know is I will fight, I wont go down just like that. I take my pepper spray from my bag and keep it in my hand. I girl is always gotta have some protection.

The Escalade drives right up to me, I increase my pace and it stops me I few feet ahead of me. The driver's door opens and one of the idiots in suits from the cafe steps out.

Hot chocolate guy gives me a smile and opens his mouth. Hey sweetheart, we meet again. I just roll my eyes at him. You know you should not be walking alone this time. There are some dangerous people out there, he continued.

I'm fine I can handle myself, I hissed. He just chuckles. His friend opens the door of the Escalade and steps out. You should listen to my brother here, he states. Like I said I will be fine. I try to take a step forward and head home. Both men take a step towards me and I raise my hand at them. I attack them with my pepper spray and run for my life.

I run as fast as my legs could go, without looking behind me. All I hear is the two guys groaning in pain and yelling.

I'm gonna get you, b***h, yells Mr Grey eyes.

I
