My Savior

Shion

I stop my alarm and get out of the warm comfort of my bed. It only take me 30 minutes to shower and get my work clothes on. I look in the mirror with a frown. I hate when I have bruises on my face it's so inconvenient. I apply concealer then continue with my makeup and hair routine. I then go into the kitchen and grab a quick meal then make my way out to work. I work at the local bakery in the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen in New York. It's not a very good area but it's home. I've lived here for about five years now. I've worked at the bakery for just as long. I've dated but nothing serious. Mainly because of my other job. I'm also an assassin. I know, I know killing people is bad. Well not when the people are monsters. I was made an orphan at the young age of 5 and my sister and I were sold into slavery and it was 17 years before I saw her again. I escaped my tormentors when I was 15 when a group of mercenaries attacked the compound I was in. They freed us and gave us a choice to join them or go on our own. Obviously I joined them and they taught me how to become an assassin. I was trained in hand to hand combat, weapons, explosives and seduction. Don't worry they didn't take my virginity or anything that was taken away at the compound. They helped me find my sister and apparently my 2 nieces. My sister was 9 when we were taken and she was 26 with 2 5 year old daughters. They live in Chicago and I try to visit as much as I can.

Back to the present.

I walk into work with a smile on my face. I love working here, everyone is so nice especially that police officer that come in everyday at 4pm on the dot. He's the most handsome man I've ever seen and he is also the best tipper, not that I need it. But I always catch him staring at me while he eats his bear claw and drink his coffee. It's cute, I wish he'd just ask me out already.

"Hey beautiful" the manager call out as I enter the back and I smile even brighter. The manager is a 37 year old single mother of 3. She has beautiful carmel skin with long dyed burgundy red locks. She's about 5'7" tall with all the right curves. If I were a woman I'd be jealous.

"Hey Marla, you're the beautiful one." I say as I give her a quick hug then put my stuff in my locker."I saw Jacob's out there, I thought Daivon was supposed to work this morning." I inquire.

"You know how that boy is, they can't all be as dependable as you." She say with a heartfelt laugh.

I punch in then go to start preping the dough for the morning. I then go take over the front counter right as officer sexy walk through the door.

"Hi there officer sexy will you be having the same thing today? Or maybe something else?" I ask in a flirtatious manner. He blushes and has the best dimpled smile ever as he says that he wants his regular. I turn to get his bear claw and black coffee. "You know you should take the chance on something new one day." I say with a wink as I hand him his order. He blushes even deeper as he grab his things. "I'll think about it." He says then go over to his usual table.

I continue working the front counter. Officer sexy comes up and slip a ten in the tip jar on his way out as usual. I swear he's the best tipper considering he actually tips more than he spends on his order. I wonder what's his deal, is he soft in the head? It's not my concern I guess.

"Did your not so secret admirer come in again?" I heard Marla say as she came up behind me.

"I don't know what you're talking about crazy lady but we have customers if you hadn't noticed. So keep your fantasies to yourself." I say with a smile and a small laugh.

"You know I'm right, why else would he be givin' you all his hard earned money. I know you like him too." She says with a smirk. "Awe, look at you blushin'. Why don't you just give him yo number?'

"I'm not blushing and I'm not lonely. I have a date tonight with Kenon tonight I have you know." I responded with a wink

"Why do you waste your time with that low life? You are way too good for him." She said with her nose scrunched up and I laugh.

"Don't worry, we're not getting married. He's fun to play with. Besides officer sexy isn't interested in me, he's most likely straight as an arrow. So stop fantasizing." I say with a nervous laugh. I really do like him but he couldn't possibly be interested in me.

"We'll see pretty boy. I'll see you tomorrow my man just pulled up." She said

"Yeah, see you tomorrow." I said as she gave me a quick hug. Then she ran out the door. I finished my shift and closed up the bakery. The bakery is usually not very busy in the evening so closing isn't very hard.

I hit the shower as soon as I got home. By the time I was ready the doorbell rang. I opened the door and smiled. Kenon was standing there in a red button up, black jeans with a red tiger on the front right pocket, a black leather jacket and some red Nike's. "You ready sexy?" He asks

I look up into his hazel brown eyes and say "Yes I am big daddy" with a wink. He smiles big enough to notice his dimples and the gold in his mouth.

"Then let's get this show on the road" He says and I grab my jacket and keys then lock the door. As I turn around he grabs me and kisses me so hard I became lightheaded. "I missed you sexy boy." He growled out as he pulled back.

"You know I missed you too." I responded then he walked me to his Tahoe and helped me in before shutting the door. He turned the ignition as soon as he got behind the wheel, put on his seatbelt and pulled off.
