I am currently at Jerry's with my Dad, munching my Chili fries as Dad finishes his steak.
"You know Dad..." He glances towards me slicing his steak. "You always eat steak when we are here." Picking another piece of the chili fries then popping it into my mouth.
"It's my favorite and your Mom's too." He says.
"She loves it so much that she orders two." I chuckles as a memory of her surfaced. "She will elbow you to remember to order her two of it."
"She has an appetite that's good for a whole neighborhood. " He both chuckles.
"I knew I inherited my love for food from her." I say sipping my half-empty cola.
"You definitely did." Dad phone rings all of a sudden, interrupting the conversation. He wipes his mouth with a napkin then fishing his phone from his jacket. "It's from the station." He informs me.
"Take it, it might be important." Leaning back to my chair with the cola still in my hands.
"Yeah?" He says, answering his phone. "Yeah... okay, okay... I'll be right over." he ended the call.
"Emergency?" I ask him.
"Yes." He sips on his water. "I need to go, I'm really sorry." He informs as he quickly puts on his jacket.
"It's okay, duty awaits." I gave him a grin.
"You'll be alright?" I nodded. "When you get home remember to double lock the door. I might get home late." I signal him -ok. "I'll go then." He plants a kiss on top of my head and rush out the door.
Pressed one of my elbow at the table, resting my chin on my left palm and continue eating my Chili fries bored. The chimes sings as it alerted someone entered the diner, I look up to check who it was.
Transfer?
He was with another guy but I didn't got to look at the guy clearly. They sat at a booth just at the other end of the room, they seem to be waiting for someone.
(I'm not usually this nosy but I am bored what can I do)
Then bearded guy approached them. I began to get more curious as they seem kept glancing outside as they talk and I just find it very weird.
The bearded guy grabbed Transfers collar, Transfers hand rolled into a fist in an instance. I was afraid they'll duel in a hand in hand combat, but the guy broke into laughter and gently release Transfer, he even patted him in the shoulder probably teasing him. After a few minutes they all walked out of Jerry's. I don't know what got into me but I followed them down to an empty alley.
I hide near a garbage dumpster.
This is a stupid idea, Maddie.
They were talking about money, it seems like Transfer owes those bearded guy some money.
"When are you going to pay?" The bearded guy ask in a deep scarly voice.
"Can you just Chill! I still don't have the money." Transfer answered with an arrogant tone.
"You owe us 10,000!" He grabbed transfers collar again.
Transfer just looked at the bearded guy, he doesn't seemed to be scared at all. If that was me I would have probably be terrified that I'll have my knees tremble like hell.
"I'll give it to you in two weeks." Transfer says as she casually rolls his eyes at him.
"By a week." The other guy demanded.
"You are not the boss of me." Smirkingly he said, yanking the bearded guys grip off his collar. This guy is really something like he has the nerve to go agaisnt those ugly looking guys.
"YOU!" He angrily said and punch Transfer in the stomach making him groan in pain.
In shock, My foot involuntarilly took a step back and hit a can.
"Who's there?!" The bearded guy asks and look around. Before he can come closer to where I was, I run as fast as I could back to Jerry's and hurriedly into my car then drove away.
As I got home, I immediately lock the door behind me -as to what my dad reminded me. I walked to the kitchen and open the fridge to grab a bottle of water just to calm my rapidly beating heart in my chest.
I walked to my room and found Miho in the bed sleeping. I sat down on my desk chair, putting a hand over my racing heartbeat it still haven't slowed down.
"Why did he owe that guy a lot of money?" I ask myself. "Where did he spend the money?" I slap myself to stop thinking about it, it was non of my business. "Glad that my legs was cooperative that I got out of the alley fast or I might have been the one dumped down that dumpster." I shiver in that thrilling thought.
After over thinking about what happend, I slept all my worries away.
Sunday afternoon, after lunch. Zoe and I decided to have a bonding time with each other. We went to the mall to shopped afterwards watched that new released movie.
We were tired that we decided to eat. We entered a cafe, I my unlucky fate Lance and his friends are coincidentally there too. I sat on our table while Zoe ordered. Lance saw me sitting and he came walking towards me.
"Maddie, Nice to see you here." I pretended I didn't hear anything,just continued scrolling through my phone.
"Baby!" He grabbed my hand, I pull it away immediately.
"Get lost!" I told him glaring.
He grins then licked his bottom lip. If I was still that naive girl inlove with him, I'll surely find that gesture sexy but I woke up from my nightmare that it only disgust me now.
"I miss you and I know you miss me too." He tried to kiss me but I back away.
"We are long over Lance, if you think I'm that gullible sorry to break it to you but I'm not." I stood up of my seat and walked away.
There was a lot on my mind. I was crying myself out, it pisses me off that he still has that effect on me that I tried to push away. My eyes was being blurry from all the tears that I bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to" I exclaim, wiping my tears away.
Then I saw Transfer, he was the one I bumped into. As I looked at him I remember what that bearded man did to him that I don't know what the hell gone into me, I was so emotionally messed up that I hugged him.
He was shocked from my sudden approach but I just needed a hug and maybe he needed one too. At first he hesitated to wrap his arms around me but when he did, I felt safe and calm.
"Better?" He asked.
In his words I came back to my senses, I was hugging a stranger. So I quickly pulled away.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." My eyes were fixed on the floor.
"It was fine." He has a smirk planted on his face as I looked at him, I felt embarrassed for I did.
"I'm sorry." I repeated.
"No worries, it was nice feeling your boobs on my chest." Evilly smirking looking at my chest.
"PERV!" I shouted at him and walk the opposite way.
"I'm looking forward to next time!" He shouted, I can hear ammusement on his voice. He was probably laughing at me.
I groan loudly, not looking back to where he was.
"BYE CRY BABY!" I heard him lastly said. Making me facepalm myself.
Worst day ever!
