I always thought Baron and I had the perfect relationship. One of those relationships that you see plastered all over Facebook with the caption of goals. I really thought Baron and I were goals. Something that people would strive to be. Too bad like most things in life, it was too good to be true.

"Hard day at work?" I asked Baron as he came home late for the fourth night this week. Baron had told me he was a salesman would most would think that meant he worked 9 to 5, but a lot of times he worked til 9 at night even later. I was a waitress and worked mainly nights, so it seemed liked his crazy work schedule made it hard to see him. Tonight, I was off and had been hoping he would be home early, too much luck he didn't.

Baron sighed rubbing his bald head, "You can say that." He began unbuttoning his shirt. "It's going to be worth it one day." He kissed my lips. "I am saving up for something special." He winked at me.

Her heart skipped a beat, "like what?" I asked him.

"I can't tell you. It will ruin the surprise. Which reminds me," he said digging in his pocket. "I got you something tonight though." He pulled out a beautiful necklace. It was in the shape of a heart and diamonds in the middle.

"Baron, it's beautiful." I smiled at him.

He got up, putting the necklace around her neck. "Just like you are. I got it with the extra I made last week. I saw it in the store and immediately thought of you."

I smiled running to the mirror to look at him, "It's perfect. I love it."I ran my fingers over the necklace. "You spoil me, you know."

He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me close to his hips. "You deserve the whole world for putting up with me." He kissed her neck. "You are the most beautiful girl, I have ever seen."

I blushed at his words, "Stop, Baron, you don't mean that."

"You are, though." He said into her shoulder. "Why would I lie to you?"

I giggled, rolling her eyes at him. I turned to face him, "Who knows with you." Baron and I had been together for four years. He was my best friend, my rock, my everything. I couldn't see a life without him there. He treated me like a queen. I had never been treated this well in my life.

"I think he's going to propose." I told my best friend, Carmella at work.

"It's about damn time, he does." She told her as she helped me dry glasses off. We were both waitresses at Buffalo Wild Wings. We worked most shifts together. I didn't enjoy waitressing thar much, but having my best friend by my side makes it easier on me, especially when you get asshole customers. It's nice to have someone who has your back.

"I thought I was going to have to beat some sense into that boy for making you wait so long." She shook her head.

"I didn't think he ever was til he told me he is saving up for something special. I think now's the time."

"I call maid of honor." Mella cheered.

"Of course, you are." I rolled my eyes.

"Just make sure you put me with Bobby. Drew creeps me out."

"He does give off that eerie vibe." I agreed. "I don't think he has ever spoken to me, but two words."

"He just stared at me last time. It made my stomach turn. Is he a salesperson like Baron?"

"I think he's in HR."

"Hey!" Nattie, our supervisor yelled coming up to us. "Last I checked it's work time, not gossip time. You have tables waiting for both of you. Go." She told us shooing us out of the kitchen.

"Who knew being a supervisor required you to have a stick up your ass." Carmella told me as we walked to our tables.

"I heard that," Nattie yelled from behind us.

Both of us snickered, before we went our separate ways. I walked over to one of my tables to see three men sitting there. Two of them with long black hair, the third with short reddish brown hair. They were all muscular men with intimating looks on their faces. Even as they watched the game on one of the tvs.

"Welcome to buffalo wild wings, my name is Madison, I will be your server tonight. What can I get you to drink?" I said with my best smile. I knew Nattie was still watching to make sure I was actually doing my job and not making more wedding plans with Carmella.

"Beer will be fine, doll." The one with the short hair answered with a smile on his face. "Any kind just as long as its cold."

I nodded looking at the other two waiting for them.

"We will have the same." The other two men chimed in.

I nodded, "i will be back to take your orders." I walked back to the bar to get their drinks. I could feel their eyes on me as I left.

Carmella stopped by on the way to one of her tables. "Hey, you wanna switch tables and let a single girl get the table with the three hot men?"

I chuckled, "you know we can't switch tables. Nattie is already on the warpath."

"I swear she does that on purpose. She doesn't want me to get any guys numbers."

"Probably since you got fired from your job at hooters, because you punched a guy."

"Hey, they were supposed to just look at the merchandise, not touch." She said referring to her breasts. I shook my head at her as I finished getting the drinks. Carmella glanced over at the table. "They seem to be interested in you anyway. Work it girl. Get a big tip for that wedding." She laughed giving me a bump in the side.

I did get a pretty nice tip from them. There was something off about them I couldn't put my finger on it. Something was just off. They didn't speak to me very much. I was used to get flirted with, but they barely spoke any words to me. I also felt like their eyes followed me everywhere while they were there. I thought maybe I was just paranoid. I couldn't help it though.

I tried to brush it off after I left since by the time they left. It was almost the end of my shift.

"My feet are killing me," Carnella told me as she walked past me. I was mopping up the floor to finish closing. "Plus my head is still aching from this hangover."

"You can go than if you want. I will finish closing up." I told her.

"You sure?" She asked me.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. You have done it for me before. I can do it for you."

"Thanks, love." She said hugging me as she grabbed her stuff to go home for the night. "Text me so I know you get home safe." She told me as she left.

I sighed finishing up the cleaning to close up for the night. After I was done, I grabbed my things and headed to my car.

The light above my car started flickering. I groaned as it snapped out. It did that every now and then. I wish they would fix it. It was much darker making it harder for me to unlock my door. I wish I would have already fixed my remote to unlock my door, but I always forgot. I finally got my door unlocked when suddenly everything went black...
