My finger ran round the ring of my cup in a circle motion slowly. I sighed, slumping my shoulders down and relaxing back into my chair. The view was beautiful. The autumn trees blew leaves across the pavement, as the blossom shone its bubblegum pink and rosy red colours to the sun. I took a small drink of tea, burning the tip of my tongue slightly, and hissing away quietly the pain. My big sweater protected me from the chilly breeze the was hanging out side. I was happy and content.
"Erm that will be 2 dollars please" I was caught off guard by a tall dark stranger looming over me. I glanced up wards and I could feel the power dripping off him. This job was too degrading for him. Anyone could tell that. I smiled quickly with drawing my purse from my bag and handing him the money.
"Would you like anything else?" he asked his husky voice to die for. I shook my head quickly sending a sweet smile in his direction.
"No I think I'm good" I turned back to my cup of tea taking another drink and groaning slightly. It was too sweet for me. I placed it back down on the table, grabbing my bag off the side and brushing myself down slightly. The dark stranger turned to me waving as I pushed the door of the cafe open. My eyes where fixed on him as I waved back slowly.
"Lisa have you got a moment ?" I jumped out of my skin as I turned round to see a girl with rosy red cheeks and rough lips, staring me in the face. She was pale as snow and her strawberry blonde hair swung down the bottom of her waist. Her face oozing with desperation. My eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" I asked my voice small and timid. I narrowed my eyes trying to think of if we had ever met before? Maybe we where childhood friends but I was soon reminded I had non and was really in fact on my own. She pushed past me grabbing my hand as she went through. I tugged my hand free raising my eyebrows in annoyance.
She closed her eyes tight inhaling a deep breath of fresh air into her lungs. I bit the inside of my gum anxiously waiting for a respond from her. I drew a little bit of blood from biting to hard. You would have thought I would have not been as scared in stupid situations like these after half the things I had seen or been through.
"I can't answer that lisa" She murmured softly under her breath. "Why not?" I asked taking a small step towards her. She retreated slowly away from me, gripping the back of a table she had just bumped into.
"I need you to go to this address at noon tomorrow " he smiled at me realizing her hands off the table and making her way towards me. Her heels clicking as she came. Click click click. The sound had an eerie atmosphere to it, and I couldn't explain why. It just did. She slipped a small piece of paper into my pocket smiling sweetly into my ear.
"why" I declared annoyed and confused on what she was talking about.
"It's important"
A small tear ran down her cheek but her face expression stayed still as brick. Her makeup also stayed intact, as she held her arms out ready to hug me. I retreated my eyebrows knitting together. She persisted on the hug drawing herself closed to me, the smell of fruity perfume lingering in the air as her lips brushed past my ear softly.
"He's always watching to lisa please don't let him win" She took a step back from me, smiling one more time and then heading out of the door the breezing whooshing in after her. She was gone. I tried shouting back to her but she was already gone.
"Who's watching me?"
