I watched out for him, just in case he became too impatient and decided that he could just take me because I was 'his'. Was he some sort of addict? He only just met me, and suddenly I'm his possession? It was really starting to get to me, and I could hardly concentrate. I was serving Declan, a usual old customer, when I saw two of the men outside watching me from outside. I spilled hot coffee all over him because I was so nervous. Declan started shouting at me, because he was in pain. He left after five minutes, after he was bandaged up. I was such a nervous wreck, but I didn't see them for the rest of that day.
Declan didn't come in the next day. Or the next. I started to worry. For the whole time I have been working here, Declan has never missed a day. I see the men every day now, but I just try to ignore them.
Then they came in. I was serving a customer when the bell rang. I turned to see if it was Declan. It wasn't. Two men, one wild looking, and one hard faced. They sat in the corner, and I took them menus over.
"Thanks," the wild one said, "I'm Garrett, and this is Liam," he watched me carefully, and I nodded.
"I'll have a black coffee," the one called Liam said.
"Yeah, me to," Garrett said, handing me back the unopened menus. I shuffled away and made two black coffees. I made myself a promise, that I would find out whatever I could.
I took them their coffees, and just got on with it before I could think about what I was doing.
"Why are you here?" I asked Garrett.
"Needed some caffeine to keep me awake," he said smiling.
"No, I mean here, as in outside the shop every day?" he frowned
"We were told to," he muttered.
"By Edward?" I said boldly. Liam surprised me by answering,
"Does it matter?" he said coldly, staring at me.
"It matters to me," I said equally coldly, returning the stare.
It was Garrett who broke the ice.
"Yeah, but only because he cares about you, and he doesn't want anything to happen to you." He looked at me, and it was as though he thought me lucky.
"I'm not his," I said, shaking my head.
"Not yet," Liam muttered
"Not ever," I said, glaring at him.
"Whatever, Edward always gets what he wants, it's just a matter of time," Liam said, taking a sip of his coffee. Garrett glared at him, as though he had said too much.
"Who do you work for?" I asked, changing the subject.
"Edward," Garrett said, also trying his coffee.
"But what is it, your organisation?"
"Just an insurance business," Liam said quickly, too quickly. Garrett started coughing, but I think it was a laugh.
"Whatever," I said. My shift was done, and I turned to get changed.
I stepped through the office doors in my ballet outfit and a small jacket, and they were standing outside the front door, waiting.
"Ugh," I said, before pushing open. I was about to turn left when a hand grabbed my shoulder. Was this it, had Edward finally demanded I be his? Did I know too much? I turned around slowly, my face a mask of fear.
"Relax," Garrett said, laughing at my face, "Edward would feel better if we drove you to Julliard,"
"I'd rather walk. No, in fact, I'd rather be boiled alive in a pit of oil," I said, wrenching free of his grip and making a dash for it. I thanked god that I was fit enough not to have to slow. But my luck wasn't that good. I'd only been here a few months, and these men must have been here much longer, so of course they would know the shortcuts.
Garrett was waiting at the bottom of the street, and as I turned to back track, Liam was right behind me.
They closed in, and the car came speeding around the corner.
"Speedy little bugger, aren't you," Liam puffed. I just shrugged. They piled me in the car, and though I complained and tried to get out, I ended up sitting opposite from them in a large leather seat.
"This is ridiculous!" I shouted.
"We agree with you," Liam muttered, "But don't make our lives harder than they have to be, please"
Something about his strained face made me see red.
"He's a monster," I said
"No, he just wants you safe," Garrett said. I kept my mouth shut, and they dropped me off at Julliard.

Garrett and Liam came in and poured themselves a drink.
"Well," Liam said, "She's fit,"
"WHAT!" I shouted, was Liam eyeing my girl?
"Relax boss, he just means, like you know, goes to the gym a lot fit." I calmed down, and then grinned. Great, she wouldn't get tired easily.
"How do you know?" I asked them.
"We had to chase her, turns out she doesn't like being driven around by gangsters," Garrett laughed, and I grimaced.
"She'll have to get used to it."
They nodded, and didn't argue. No-one argues with me, unless they want to die. My doll would be no different.
"Get out, I have paper work to do," I said, feeling the bulge grow in my pants.
They went out silently, but Garrett turned with his eyebrows raised and a knowing look.

I danced out all my anger. My tutor said it was the best practice I'd ever done. Good, because as far as I could tell, those men weren't going anywhere soon.
I came out after my shower in jeans and a t-shirt I came out to find two really strong guys leaning against a car. I sighed, and guessed they were here for me, because they were wearing the same suits as Liam and Garrett.
I walked straight passed them, and felt no pursuit behind me. A dark car pulled up ahead of me. I turned and started to walk the other way. I turned random corners, and eventually came to a dead end with a few garages. I heard an engine behind me, and started trying random garages. One finally opened. I ran in and slammed the door shut.
I stood shivering in the dark for a minute or two, until a light turned on behind me. I spun around to see a huge man standing staring at me. His clothes oozed designer, and he was coming out of a door behind him. He looked me up and down, and I caught a glimpse of a gun under his belt.
"Well, baby, what can I do for you?" He said looking me up and down and taking a step forward.
I screamed and opened the door, running out into the strong arms of one of the guys I saw outside the shop.
"Hey!" the man behind me shouted, "What are you doing here?" it obviously wasn't directed at me, as the man holding me shoved me into the car before answering.
"Relax, Paul, just picking her up, and she freaked," the man said.
"She's hot," Paul said, trying to look at me through the tinted glass.
"She's Edward's," The other man said coldly. Paul laughed,
"You'd better go," he said and then he disappeared inside.
The other man climbed in beside me and knocked on the glass,
"Alright, Ben, let's go," he sat back and the engine roared to life, "you don't know how lucky you are," he said quietly. I looked at him as though he was crazy, which he might have been.
"Lucky?! Lucky?!" I almost screamed at him, "How am I lucky, exactly? Before you lot came along, I was perfectly fine," he didn't say anything, "What's your name?"
"Jasper," he said, looking out the window. I knew the conversation was over for just now. I hadn't realised how far I'd run, but I got nervous after about fifteen minutes. I looked out the window, and didn't recognise anything.
"Where are we going?" I whispered, looking right at him.
"Edward wants to see you," he sighed
"No," I shouted, "NO!" he just looked at me, and I was quiet. No amount of shouting would help me now. But, I thought, it would give them a headache and they deserve no less.
I started screaming, and Jasper was shaking my shoulders,
"Are you ok? Bella, Bella! Be quiet, Be quiet!" his hand came over my face, and I only lasted about half a second before blacking out.

"Bella, wake up! Please, we're nearly there," I didn't move, so Jasper tried a different motive, "If you don't, I'll have to carry you," I opened my eyes and sat bolt upright. He laughed at m and sat back in his leather seat.
"Ugh, how long was I out?" I asked, glaring at him.
"About ten minutes. Ten minutes of golden silence," He grinned at my glare.
I sat back and looked out the window, but it was too dark to see anything. We came to a stop, and Jasper leapt out of the car, dragging me out with him. We were in a little garage, and just in front of me there was a little door.
"Can I ask you a question?" I said in a whisper
"Sure," he said, coming to a stop
"Liam said you were an 'insurance company', what are you really?" I watched his face carefully.
"Edward wants to tell you that himself," Jasper said, starting to walk again. I said nothing but followed behind silently. I was sure this was big, and I didn't want to get messed up in it. Well, too late, looks like I already have.
We walked through endless corridors, turning random corridors. I was sure it was to confuse me, so I didn't try to make a break for it, but it didn't matter, I was confused enough. Finally, we came to a stop outside a red oak door, with a little receptionist beside it. She glanced up and then looked up again slowly, eyes wide. She spoke quickly and quietly into her phone, and then said,
"Edward will see you right away,"
