In The Dark

Chapter Two Was He My Mate?

    The clock said [5:00] pm

       Time for work, I jumped up, went to my closet and got dressed in my favorite red tank top, that fit perfectly showing my curves, then I walked over to my dresser and pulled out my nice soft black leggings and put them on. Slowly I backed up to my bed still looking at myself in my mirror and put on my favorite hightop black converse. 

"Ugh, I hate how I look! Oh f**k its 5:20" I thought to myself.

I rush upstairs and grab my favorite black jacket and run towards the door.

"Bye, Love you! Going to work!" I yell.

"Bye, Love you too! Be safe!" My mom yells back!

    I shift into my wolf form and run as fast as I can to my work, which is a few block down the dirt road. I start coming up to the last block to get to work and quickly slow down and shift back into human form. It doesn't hurt anymore like it first did when my mom showed me how to shift, I was only 5 when she had taught me. I start walking fast so I can make it before 5:30, I pass the normal shops I always do coming to work everyone smiling and waving "Hi" so they don't look bad. I smile and wave back to them.. Finally I open the door to my work. I look up at the big sign on the building 

"Bubba's Bar And Grille"

I stare at it for a few minutes lost in thought until, I'm suddenly interrupted by Sam, my co-worker..

"Girl your gonna be late, if you don't stop spacing off!" he says laughing.

"f**k off, I'm technically here. So can't be late if I'm already standing here!' I remark back all smirk like.

"Oh really? Tell that to the boss then..." he smiles with a smirk back at me..

    We quickly walk in and grab our aprons and put them on, I look around to see who all is here and how many customers we have.. The building is pretty big and very spacious. You wouldn't think a place like this would be very vintage and classy at the same time for it being called "Bubba's Bar And Grille"  But some how Bubba seemed to pull it off! Not surprised since he's Gay.. He always says 

"You gotta be classy and old to be cool!"

    It always cracks me up how his old ass talks. Sam is over looking at the schedule behind the bar seeing where his section will be to serve his customers tonight. I hear him sigh loudly, he quickly looks around only to see that I caught him sighing a little too loud. His face turns light red and he sheepishly smiles. I laugh and smile back.

"So what section, will your stupid ass be serving tonight? Oh and what's my section?" I ask him.

Offended by my choice of words he says with a big smile on his face. 

"None of your smartasses business!" 

    I laugh and walk over to look at the schedule, only for Sam to quickly hide it behind the drinks. I laugh more and reach over to grab it but he smacks my hand! I look at him with wide eyes and drop my mouth open to show him how offended I was. He laughs and we hear our boss.

"Quit you two! Get a move on before I come show you how its done."

"Yes, Boss!" We say at the same time.. 

    I take the schedule only to see that I have the whole right half of the room that I have to serve. I roll my eyes and look at Sams section. Only to see he gets the smallest section. Bastard I think to myself, I quietly chuckle. I start walking up to customers that just sat down. I hand them some menus and the alcoholic drink menus. 5 hours go by and I start to get tired. I look at the time, its only 10:30 pm. I sigh and think damn I still have 3 and 1/2 hours to go. When suddenly I see this guy sit down with his buddy. They look wet and trashed. I walk over with the menus and say 

"Hi, I'm Zappie, I'll be your waitress tonight."

I hand them the menus and the brown haired one says with a big smile on his face 

"We just want two FireWolf Shots, and two Tallboys Budlites. Thanks"

"Alright I'll be right back with that!" I say smiling.

    I finish up getting a couple customers while waiting for the bartender to finish making their drinks. I look over at the the brown hair guy and notice he has bright blue eyes I can smell his scent and I realize that I'm almost drooling over the scent... I start thinking is this what its like to feel when you meet your mate? No one has ever explained how you know who's your mate or not so I assume that it is. I grab the drinks and take it over to them with a small flirty smile. Time passes and I talk to my co-workers and laugh with them constantly checking out the brown hair guy. My co-worker bestie Drake says to me with a big smile

"Girl you need to calm that wolf side down! He's gonna get creeped out if you keep staring with your mouth open and drooling!" he laughs "He is damn fine tho I will agree with you on that! I I hadn't already found my mate, I'd be drooling too!" Drake says while blushing.  

"Drake!!!!!! Shut the f**k up!" I exclaimed! giggling and blushing. "I can't help it I can smell him and he smells so good!" I blush even harder and Drake laughs hard at me. Time passes by and its time for us to close, the guy with the brown hair is starting to get ready to leave. I hand him his receipt and he quickly with a shy smile on his face asks me for a pen. I hand him one and he says Thanks. He starts writing on the back of it, I couldn't see what because I had walked away to keep cleaning. He leaves the pen and receipt on the table and walks out. I quickly walk up to the table only to see that he had left his number on it for me!!! my heart starts pounding and I start blushing and smiling. Not realizing Drake and Sam had walked up to me. 

"OOOO!!!!! Girl you got his numba, ooooooo get it girl!!!" they both say taunting me and laughing

I hit them both on the arms. Smiling and giggling

"Shut up, I probably won't even text him so it doesn't matter guys!" I stare hard at them

"WHAT THE f**k EVER!" Drake yells

"Yeah we both already know your gonna call his ass right as soon as you run home!!!" exclaims Sam. 

"Whatever guys! I'm leaving BYE, I can't be late home or mom will be pissed!"

    I wave to them as I slide the number in my pocket and quickly walk a block so I can shift, into my wolf form and start running. Finally I make it back home and I shift back into human form. I walk into the house. Mom is asleep on the couch curled up to dad. He looks and me and smiles

"How was work? You look tired, did you shift and make it there in time?"

"Yeah, I did. It was super busy tonight. I'm exhausted, Ima go to bed. goodnight!"

"I bet, its Friday night. Goodnight"

    I run downstairs and quickly shut my door and lock it. I had to put 3 locks on it because dad would always wait until mom was asleep to come into my room and hurt me in so many ways! There was only one thing he hadn't taken from me and that was my innocence! I wasn't about to stay to let him do it either.
