UNLEASHED: The power within

CHAPTER 15

Black grumbles at that, " Shey you have the fucking money in your account. Why aren't you using that money? For crying out loud why are we still living in this dump?'' 

" First of all, that is not my money so I'm not going to use it until I find the owner. We are still living in this dump because that is what we can afford Black" he flinches as I shout at him.

I am feeling so aggravated that I almost miss the walls shaking when my voice booms through the room. Sometimes Black frustrates me. And the incident is not making it better, especially the fact that he is not believing me.

" What the actual fuck, was that an earthquake?" Black looks at me tensely.

"I know, let's go check outside" we both run outside but nothing seems out of the ordinary. Not even a single soul shows any signs of distress. Everyone is occupied with whatever they are doing, nothing appears amiss.

Black and I gaze at each other, " odd, no one seems fazed about anything. Are we the only ones that felt it?"

" I know right, plus one thing I like about this town is there are no earthquakes ever recorded," I say buffed with what just happened.

" I know, that's why I love it here too."

" Whatever, I'm going to work and pretend that this morning never happened at all." I go into the house and take my bag before leaving.

"You, you are now working as a waitress not in the kitchen anymore." Madam Mary says to me the moment I walk through the door.

"What?" I ask with confusion.

"If you don't want the job, I can find another waitress right now," she says with annoyance.

"What! No please l need it. Thank you very much." I shriek jumping to hug her, but she moves out of the way making me lose my step almost falling on my face. I nippily compose myself.

"Don't even think about it. Go to the locker room and change. Customer can't wait for you all day" she doesn't wait for me to reply, she just strolls to her office.

I can't believe I just got promoted, it may seem like nothing but to me it is everything. At least I won't be the last to leave every day not to mention there are shifts now. This is my heaven; I am really happy. Oh gosh, I need to tell Black. This is fantastic.

Thinking of Black brings back all the memories from this morning making my excitement short-lived. My mood sours at that, my life is now cryptic. If only I had explanations for all the stealthy things occurring. How much can I take of all this?

Maybe Black was right, I might have been hallucinating. Maybe I just need some rest, and all this will go away. But the memory keeps repeating itself in my head like a toy train running in a circle. How I got to this point, I don't know.

"For a waitress, you seem too grumpy today." Tasha says making me shriek not expecting her presence behind me, " even jumpy, and the way you are wiping the table, it will be out of color in no time."

" Ha, ha, ha very funny Tasha. I just have a lot of things going on in my life right now.'' I say throwing the rug on the table I am wiping.

" What could be going on in your life right now Sheila?" Her eyebrow shot up gazing at me.

I sigh looking back at her, " Did you feel the earthquake this morning?"

She glares at me like I am insane, "You are joking right, I felt nothing of sort. Hey Jim, did you feel the earthquake this morning?" She asks another co-worker clearing a table next to us.

" No, I didn't feel any earthquake. Besides, there are no reports of earthquakes in this part of town, never. "He says looking at us weirdly before shaking his head and walking away.
