The Seven Kings of Sin

Chapter 6

My breath is going away. I hope this is not another panic attack. I look at Piper and give her a look, and I think she understands, and moves over next to me and rubs her thumb on the back of my hand. I start to calm down. The three pulled away the man that walked up to the table. They all were talking and it felt like it was about me, and maybe it's just because of my anxiety.
Piper whispers, "He didn't hurt you, did he?"
I whisper back, "No, I just think he was calming me down and he almost kissed me."
She looks at me and raises her voice, and says, "I'LL GRAB THAT GOD-DAMNED BROOM AND BEAT THAT LITTLE--" she stops as they walk over. I chuckle at her silliness. Lycio smirked and winked at me. Death glares, including the new guy.
"I would like to introduce myself, I am Zadimus." he takes my hand and kisses it again and smirks at me, and my face is back to tomato land. Death glares, I swear every five minutes it happens.
"I'm Zahra," and he smiles brightly.
"What a lovely name. On a scale from 1-10, you're a 9 and I'm the 1 you need." he winks at me and I giggle at his cheesy pick up line. That earns him the death glare.
He made my day a little better, even though I am holding back the emotions from breaking down in front of everyone. He seems like a really cool and nice guy.
They all sit down, and Lycio decides to sit on the other side of me. He puts a hand on my thigh and the sparks flew while my face grew red. They all make me feel like this, and I don't know why. He rubs it, and they look at me and Ocenne asks, "What's wrong Zahra? Why are you so red?"
I look over to Lycio who is smirking, and I'm telling you guys they have a thing for death glares. He pulls my seat closer to him. Piper looks ready to kill. Since I'm the only person that she calls her child since she couldn't have any of her own. I felt honored in a way.
He puts an arm around my shoulders and whispers, "I would like to take you out alone some time, cupcake." I shiver ask his breath flows down my neck. My body is reacting in a way that I cannot describe.
His eyes lock onto mine again and I felt lost in the depths of him, and I could have sworn I had seen a hint of gold. My dream felt alive, and yet something was missing.
"Zahra, what would you like to eat?" Xeddror asks and interrupts my thinking process of what just happened.
"I don't know what this place has to eat. I haven't received a menu." I say quietly, and Zadimus swears under his breath and walks over to grab 6 menu's. Mosey jumps on to my lap and licks me, and I'm dying of laughter and smiles.
When I gently let Mosey down, the four men are now looking at me like I'm a child on Christmas, with such passion.
"Um, are you guys okay?" I ask worrying, "Did I do something wrong?" and I have a sad face.
They all say 'no' together and they look at each other.
Piper breaks the tension, "Okay, so what's good here? I'm thinking a steak for old Mosey Posey over there, and maybe the same for me and Zahra." she smiles too. Women and their food.
I nod in agreement, and Mosey is very happy about the choice. We all put our orders in and the silence is broken by me this time, "So, what do you guys do for a living? Since you're all brothers."
They look at each other and Xeddror is first to speak, "I do advertising, Ocenne does publication, Zadimus does food chains, and Lycio does animal cruelty investigations and is the founder of."
'Those all seem fun." I say with a small smile, and Xeddror seems like he's happy with the response.
"Our other three brothers do business with other businesses. They're CEO's of companies." I nod and smile still.
It just hit me that I'm having dinner with people I don't know and I'm going to explode. My mind takes time to process everything that happens suddenly, and now I feel like I need to go and cry.
"I'm going to walk outside for a minute with Mosey" I quickly grab Mosey and walk out hoping none follow.
I decided instead of staying, I'd walk around a bit. I needed time alone anyways. It now felt like I didn't have time to morn, and I'm just going to do that.
Walking around for hours and hours. I totally forgot about the guys and Piper. Piper will be mad, and so will they. That's when my will to go back diminishes. I just walk back to the house that my parents lived in. The police have done their investigating and so I walk into the place that I grew up in. My parents always emotionally hurt me. Fighting, talk about divorce, money, and the list goes on. I still loved them even if that. They gave me life, but I'm not sure how grateful I am for it.
I walk into my room, old room. Since I'll be living with Piper, even though I inherited the house and their little money. My room is purple, and the ceiling is white. I have three book shelves filled with books piled on books. My little twin bed with my child blankets. I couldn't ever part with them. The piano my mom's old friend gave me before she died. I did take a class for it, but I couldn't bring myself to ever keep on learning. My paint supplies still there. I loved to paint and read and also my makeup. It gave me a little something to keep on living for.
I lay in my bed, and Mosey Posey comes with me and lays next to me. I guess we're both alone now.
I end up falling asleep.
