AURORA
Tuesday, 16th August

I got out of Dylan's car and looked in at him. "Thanks for driving." He nodded with a smile. Then I walked away from the car, so Dylan could drive.
I walked into the Italian restaurant through the back door. "Hello, Aurora." "Hello, Mr. Greco." I quickly grabbed my work apron and put it on. Then I put my name tag on and went out.
Luckily on Tuesday, it's not that crowded and since it's still quite early as most have school until 16 and people work until 18 it's even better.
I took the orders and brought the food. When all the customers were taken care of, I wiped the tables. I have to say I don't hate the job, it's enjoyable even on days like this. It's still not better to stay at home in bed, but I can't afford that, I have to get the money for my mother.
I want to help her, and if I have to work at Quinn's uncle's restaurant, I'll take it upon myself.
I walked back into the kitchen with the tray. "Aurora, there are new guests at the table, take them over, Micheal is on a break." I nodded and walked to the table. "Hello and welcome to the Valide, what can I get you?" I looked up from my note at the guests and of course, it couldn't be anyone other than the Idiot from class.
But he wasn't grinning anymore, his eyes were stiff and angry. I hurt his ego, it makes me smile even bigger than I faked before. "A coke and the number 16 would be perfect. What do you want, sweetheart?" I looked at his companion.
And I don't want to keep looking at her, I want to leave immediately. Ashley. My face darkened as I looked at her, and the smile I had disappeared. "Well, Aurora here too?" I rolled my eyes. "You know I work here, so what do you want to order?" she told me her number and in provocation put her hand on Ares hand, which she was pacing up and down with her thumb.
Is she really just thinking that makes me jealous? She knows I don't fucking care about him, right? But as you can see she hasn't changed, she's still the same snake, the one who lied to me and fucked my ex-boyfriend behind my back on purpose.
I looked at the Ares who is also looking at me without a feeling. So I walk to the back with the order and gave it to the chef. "I didn't know Ashley was coming here after what happened last time." Micheal leaned against the counter with me because there were no new customers.
"I don't know what her mission is either," I said annoyed and looked at Micheal, whose blue eyes shine brightly through the warm light back here. "And who is he, her next victim?" "Her soulmate. He is just like her, arrogant, ignorant, and just annoying. Not able to stand it."
"Where do you know him from?" "School, he's in my class." "It looks like he looks over here quite often." Micheal made the strand that came out of my ponytail and hung loosely behind my ear.
"And that's supposed to be what now?" "Jealousy." he smiled. I think Micheal is nice, we had sex maybe three times, but that's all he wanted and did I. "Why? We hate each other, the only thing that might hurt him is that I'm happy."
"Well, let me make you happy, then." His hand went to my cheek and rubbed his thumb across it.
"We said it wouldn't happen again?" Micheal licked his lips. "There are exceptions." I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Aurora, you can take a break now." I turned and looked at Mr. Greco.
"Thank you." I walk to my closet and took my phone out and then went outside. The sun is shining brightly down on me. It's warm and comfortable.
My cell phone rang, I walked to the small step and sat down. "Hey, mom." I looked at my feet, which I was rocking from left to right. "Hello darling, how are you?" "Good and you? Did something happen? Should I leave earlier and pick up Max?"
"No, everything is okay. I'm just calling to say that Max and I are at parents' evening tonight, we won't see each other until tomorrow morning. The food is in the fridge, but warm it up first."
"Okay, I'll." Then I hung up after my mother said goodbye to me after I went in. I got back to work. When I came is the Idiot and Ashley were still there, but this time Micheal served the two while I did something else.
"Aurora, are you coming for a minute?" I saw Mr. Greco from his office, who called me with his hand. I nodded and went in, but I stopped because I don't think it was going to be a long conversation.
"Today you and Micheal have to lock up please, it just has to stay open until 8 pm. I'm still there until I'm 6 pm, but then I have to go." He held out the key to me. "Okay." "Thank you so much that I can rely on you." "Of course." I smiled and put the key in my pocket to continue.
But he stopped me. "Wait, here's your payment." I thank him and took the money for which I worked from his hand. "Thank you very much, Mr. Greco." he nodded with a smile and did the paperwork in front of him as I walked out, to put the money immediately into my locker.
I walked out to Ares and Ashley's table as I had to give them the bill as Micheal was with other customers. "Here is your bill." "Ahm, I'm sorry, can you still pack it for me?" Ashley said with a smile that was so fake.
"Of course." I was about to walk away when she stopped me again. I turned around and tried to put the best smile on my face I could. "You forgot thi.." with the quick movement of the hand, she poured the coke she had in the glass over me. My apron up to my shoes and jeans were soaked with coke.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry." she's not. I took the servings and cleaned my clothes, then Ares took some servings and handed them to me. I rip them out of his hand and walk away.
"What happened?" Micheal came to me. "The glass slipped down, can you clean it? I just want to put on something new quickly." Micheal nodded immediately and took the towel I was holding in my hand.
I went to the locker room to put on new clothes, I didn't have any pants in my closet but a skirt that I had wanted to take with me for months but forgot. It's slightly tight and slightly above my knees, but I don't have anything else to wear. Then I put it on and took shoes from Quinn's closet that fit me perfectly.
I walk out again and serve. I purposely walked over to Ashley and Ares's table to show her that I wouldn't let a snake like her get me down. "Nice skirt," Ashley said as she put the jacket on.
I took her plates and glasses and put them on the tray. "But don't let them fall." My teeth press together, it hurts. "Here." Ares handed me money. "I do not need it. Especially not someone like you." I don't take them. I'm good without him and her.
He's just making fun of me, the tip won't make him any better or show he's nicer than I thought. It's just a disgusting act.
"Please take it." Wow, a please? That must know something. I don't want his money. He probably thinks that if he gives a tip of maybe 20 dollars, the whole thing is excused or forgotten. It might be something nice, but it's just that I still have the negative stuff in my mind that's why I don't like hanging out with people that much is either because my trust is gone it's been destroyed too many times by Ashley, Ben and more people like them.
"I won't take your dirty money. You don't have to act like you're doing something nice, I know you don't like me, but I don't take it personally because I don't like you either."
He looked at me and then put the money in his pocket.
I saw him and Ashley walking out of the restaurant. Outside, Ashley tried to put her hand in Ares's, who accepted it again, and they walked away together. Scum.
"We'll stay open for a few more hours, Mr. Greco is already gone." I nodded to Micheal, who came to me. "Then let's finish quickly, I'm done."
———
I just turned all the chairs upside down on the table while Micheal mops the floor. "I'll go then too." The chef said goodbye to us and left me and Micheal alone. I finished and went to the counter where Micheal just finished all his work. "I'm so done." I groaned and leaned back. "You came at 3 pm, I was here all day." "You got to pay better than me for that." he smiled at me.
"You looked beautiful today." "Micheal, we already had that." he nodded but came closer to me anyway. "We wanted to leave it."
"I do not anything? I'm just coming at you for..." He bent over me, his lip close to my ear, so he could whisper in it. "..to get the rag." With a little swipe, I felt his lips on my neck as he then straightened and stood close to me.
Like a quick reaction, I pulled him to me and kissed him. His hands immediately went to my naked legs and went between them. Without any warning, I felt his long index fingers inside me. A groan advised me, it was like a weight was lifted from my shoulders.
Micheal knows exactly how to make a woman speak up, how to touch her, and how to desire her. I think that's also why I've gotten involved with him more often. My kiss went to his neck and pulled his on this apron closer to me.
Yes, it is reprehensible to not keep your hands off your colleague on the counter at your work. But I am young, am I gaining experience or not?
I went to his pants and open the belt, then the zipper, after I pulled his pants with the boxer shorts down a bit so that his erection could be seen. "This is the last time," I said, kissing him. He nods and grabs my thigh as he pulls me towards him.
He pushed me to the edge of the counter as he quickly pulled out a condom to put on his penis. I take the pill, but more security never hurts.
When I felt him deep inside me, we both groaned in relief. My leg was firmly clasped by his arm as he moved faster and faster, making me moan more.
Our sounds were harmonious with each other. My hands slide to his back and hook to hold it in place as he thrusts himself into me, hard and fast. It was like this for a few minutes, when Micheal and I finally came. He slides out and took off the condom.
"You're... Wow." I smiled, knowing exactly the sexual tension between us, like he was about to put on a new condom and what just happened in the last 20 minutes would be repeated. "Mr. Greco will kill us when he knows what we're doing," I said and jumped down from the counter to straighten my clothes.
"He won't find out, plus I just couldn't stand to look at you in that skirt for another second." He put his pants back on and handed me towels, so I could clean my come between my legs. "But we have to stop."
"Don't worry, I just see you as a sex partner. Or have you already fallen in love? I can't blame you. Have you seen me, and I'm good in bed too?" I don't want to push his ego, so I just shrug and say he's okay.
It looks like his ego is already so big that it should be lowered a bit. We cleaned up the places on the counter and then hung out to change our clothes. Michael offered to drive me, which I couldn't refuse.
In the room, I immediately dropped onto the bed because I was so dead. "Why are you so late? Didn't my uncle let you stay longer again because you were late?" I got up quickly in shock when I suddenly saw Quinn climbing from the window into my room.
"What are you doing here?" "You don't reply to my messages, so why are you coming now?" she went in, closed the window, and sat down on the chair. "Micheal and I had sex." I stood up as she said with an annoyed groan, "Again? I thought last time was your last time."
"Yes, that was the plan, but sometimes you can keep your hands off each other even if you don't love someone. The sex is just so good, Quinn. But this time is really the last time." I changed my clothes. As I fell back into bed, Quinn turned to me, so she could talk to me face to face.
"I hope so, if my uncle catches you, you can really find a new job, and you will also be connected to my family. Imagine Introduce yourself? The Forbidden Word. Aurora." I tucked myself in and looked at her like she was drunk because stupid things like that only come out of drunk Quinn's mouth.
"So, what else happened?"
I turned to the wall and told her everything else that happened today. The one with Ashley, whereupon she just wanted to get up to go to Ashley and hit her right in the face. Then about Ares.
Quinn walked over to my bed and laid right on top of me. "I can't believe you really hate that one handsome boy, he doesn't so bad." "That bad? He's the worst, he and Ashley deserve each other, and now get off me, I want to sleep." she rolled her eyes and fell off me but not off my bed. She lay next to me and makes the ceiling over herself.
I looked at her and she at me. It was a short silence before she broke it. "I'm lucky to have you, Aurora." She put her hand under her head. I'm saying she's a softy. "Me too."
"You will always be my favorite person. If you ever have a boyfriend, and you think about transferring me because of him or someone else, then I'm going to beat the shit out of you." softy with aggression problems.
"No, I won't." I shook my head. She nodded to herself as my eyes closed and hers too as we continued to talk.
