Chapter two

A change in me.

Akita had left the talon and turned right heading down the sidewalk to a store it was a multi beverage store. She walked in and sighed when she saw her father standing there. The tall man and strong older man looked at her. "Where the hell have you been Akita..." he said in a angered voice and demanding tone. Akita sighed she looked to her father her raven black hair tossing to the side those hazel eyes had some fear in them of her father." I was out…" He stepped forward and laid his hand hard to her cheek." You are late Akita!"

Her cheek stung from him hitting her it was bruised now she rushed up to her room and shut the door.

The pain didn't go away fast from his strike to her. He moved to the stairs "Akita get down here now! How do I have such a wimp for a daughter, you have work to do. Shipments came in NOW GET DOWN HERE!"

Akita would walk back down there and get the boxes as she would stock the drinks working hard for the day. And working at the cash register when people bought things she put on a smile and acted as if everything was fine.

At lex's Mansion.-

Lex had taken the time to listen to the interesting girl's music finding he liked it, how attractive it would be to have live entertainment at the talon. He smiled to him self." This is good."

Lex decided he was going to call Akita. He dialed her cell phone but he was not getting an answer he wondered why. Lex walked out of his place and to his car heading to the talon. He walked in and looked at Lana. "Hey…Lana Have you seen that girl Akita around here again I want to talk with her" Lana looked at him and she shook her head." No I haven't….But. think I've seen her working in that new Beverage…store…just a few blocks from the talon."

"Thanks Lana.." He nodded to her and he walked out not only did he want to allow this girl to perform there but he wanted to see her again. Lex was attracted to her she was young pretty. He thought about her what she looked like that raven hair light tan skin part must have been part Asian he thought. And her hazel eyes certain woman rarely caught lex's attention like this but this girl did.

Lex entered into the store and there he saw Akita working lifting heavy boxes no less and she slightly struggled with this. He also noticed a older man watching him like a Pissed guard dog but when lex looked directly at the man he faked a bullshit sales man smile.

Lex walked over towards Akita and he smiled silently watching her keeping her self busy admiring her work effect. Akita nearly dropped something looking his way but she didn't thankfully "Mr.…Luther "She smiled to him brightly." Her bruised cheek where her father hit her was clearly noticeable.

"Please…call me..Lex do you have a moment I know your…busy but I couldn't reach you…" lex noticed her face he could tell some one had hit her but whom?. Akita looked at lex and then over to her father who was watching them."…Yeah…I could….take a moment." She said hesitantly some looking over at her father.

Lex herd the hesitant tone in her voice this concerned him, and he noticed her looking over at the man watching them. "Come on outside with me…" He laid his arm over her shoulders and led her out. "Is anything wrong Akita.." He said once they got outside.

"No. nothing is wrong lex… "She looked at him she didn't want to burden him with her problems.

Lex looked at her with concern seeing that bruise on her face " Akita are you sure, you're a nice young lady I'd hate if anyone. Is hurting you" She looked at him she didn't want to bother him with her issues she sighed lightly "I am fine lex.. Thank you."

"Alright…" He said still worried about her but he moved on now." Not only am I going to let you play at the talon but I truly want you to. I like what I heard..." He smiled to her.

Akita smiled to him and she was very happy about this "Thank you so much..." Lex smiled to her and he nodded lightly." I'm glad to help and I'm sure your music and your voice will be loved.." He glanced at the store." So you work here…?" Akita looked at him and she nodded lightly "It's my dads business…"

Lex nodded lightly looking at her." Interesting.. "Akita looked at him and she shrugged lightly " its ok its not what I want to do for my life long career… I want to perform." Lex smiled and he looked at her." Then you should follow your dreams..."

"Thank you again so much but I really should get back to work…" She smiled to Lex looking at him

Lex looked at the girl and smiled a lot about her interested him he wanted to get to know her.".. Akita how would you like to have dinner sometime. and we can talk about a schedule for when you can perform..?" He proposed dinner in a business form, but really also just wanted her company to talk with her some gets to know her some.

Akita looked at him and she smiled "I'd love to do that thank you for coming here to see me you can leave a message on my cell and I'll get it..." She smiled to him. " I really better…get back inside…" there was that slight hesitant tone in her voice again, lex noticed but he was not going to push her to tell him what was wrong if anything was wrong. Akita smiled to him brightly "Thank you again…Lex.." She walked back in the store and she headed to work. And Lex headed back home to retire for the evening
