"You think she's dead?" Lexus asked Dakota
"I don't know, here hit her with this." Dakota threw her a pillow
"Wake up! Come on it's like five in the evening!" Lexus smacked me with a pillow.
"Ow! Stop it!" I looked up to see them both staring at me. "Ugh, I'm having a nightmare go away!" I shoved the covers over my head.
"Come on get up!" Lexus smacked me again.
"Alright I'm up."
"What did you do last night?" Dakota picked up the empty bottle of Jack Daniels.
"I had a rough night." I crawled out of bed.
"Here I brought you some coffee." Dakota handed me a cup.
"OOO thanks." I grabbed it from her, "What brings you guys here?"
"Well were here to take you out." Lexus threw a bag at me.
"What's this?" I looked in the bag.
"Your welcome."
I took out a pair of jeans and a pretty cute tank top. "Thanks."
"Yeah were going out with those guys tonight. You know Angel, Jack and oh yeah Bobby." Dakota smiled.
I almost fell over, "What, when did you talk to them?"
"Just today, Angel called me."
"Oh I don't think I…"
"Come on don't be a baby your coming out with us. Now go get dressed." Lexus walked out of my bedroom.
Why on earth would Angel call Dakota, what was his brothers and him trying to pull. I made sure I put my knife in my purse and my gun inside my holster. I could never be too careful.
I walked into the crowded restaurant behind Lexus and Dakota.
"Where are we?" The place wasn't familiar.
"Martini's, it's new. Hi I have a reservation for Lexus." Lexus looked at the hostess.
"Ah yes it's a 20 minute wait." The Hostess looked up.
"Twenty minutes?" Lexus was confused.
"Yes twenty minutes till your table is ready."
"Listen I made this reservation like a week ago and you're telling me I don't have my table ready to go."
"I'm sorry miss we are overbooked, we should have your table ready for you in twenty minutes."
Lexus rolled her eyes, "Thank you."
We waited for a half an hour till our table was ready.
"Twenty minutes my ass." Lexus was frustrated.
We took a seat at our table; naturally I scanned the place before I sat down.
"So when are the guys coming?" Lexus asked.
"They should be her soon." Dakota smiled.
We waited for another twenty minutes till the guys showed up.
"Hey sorry were late." Angel walked over and sat down.
"Hey no problem," Dakota smiled.
"Hey ladies," Jack took a seat next to me.
"Hey," Bobby sat down.
Our waitress came over and took our order.
"So Bobby tell me what do you do for a living?" Lexus smiled.
Bobby looked up at her, "Actually I'm a substitute teacher."
Jack started laughing, "Yeah he's a real great teacher."
"Oh really what do you do Jack?" I had to ask.
"Jack's a rock star." Angel laughed.
"Hey I have a band."
"Really were you on MTV?" Dakota was being stupid again.
Everybody laughed, "What's so funny?" Dakota looked around at everyone.
"Nothing forget about it." I smiled.
During the course of the evening my guard went down, maybe they really were alright guys.
"Alright, Alright do we have some party people!" I looked over towards the stage, a DJ was setting up.
"Yeah!" Dakota screamed.
"Alright let's get it started then." The DJ flipped on the music.
"Come dance with me!" Dakota whined for us to get up with her.
I looked over towards Lexus; she crossed her arms and shook her head.
"Fine I'll dance with you." I got up and followed her to the dance floor.
After like two minutes Jack joined us.
"Do you like to dance?" Jack smirked.
"Only on big metal poles." I laughed.
We danced to a coupled more songs and Dakota suggested we sit down.
As I was walking back to the table I ran into Stefan.
"Hey, wow wasn't expecting to see you here." The words just slipped out of my mouth.
"Yeah actually I own this restaurant." He smiled.
"Oh wow, I'm so sorry…" I felt like such an idiot.
"No it's ok; I don't want you to think I'm following you or something."
I looked over towards my table; Bobby was suspiciously staring as always.
"Oh no I would never think that."
"Good can I buy you a drink?"
"Um yeah but I'm here with some friends…"
"No problem, where are they?" Stefan smiled. I looked up at those blue eyes and melted.
"Yeah there over her." I led him over towards the table, "Hey everybody."
"Wow who's this?" Lexus stared him up and down.
"This is Stefan, he owns the place."
"Really wow how'd you snatch him up before anyone else could find him."
"Actually I know Mercedes from the Smil…" He looked over towards me. "Work."
"Oh you never mention him before, nice to meet you Sean." Dakota smiled.
"Um it's Stefan."
"Yeah I said that." Dakota laughed to herself.
"So you own this place you must be some big shot then huh." Bobby was being rude.
"Not exactly no."
"Stefan they need you up front." Some hostess came by.
"Ok, well Mercedes great to see you. Everyone dinner and drinks are on the house." He smiled and walked away.
Dakota got up, "Come on guys we have to go the house."
We all started laughing, "Sit down Dakota." Lexus grabbed her arm.
"Oh I know what he meant now." Dakota laughed to herself.
"Yeah well anyway, Cedes I'm actually really jealous of you!"
"Yeah well you know." I smiled.
"Yeah but guys like him are usually always trouble. You better watch yourself." Angel was being serious.
"Yeah thanks, I'll be right back." I got up and walked to the bathroom.
Who the hell does Angel think he is, my father! I was honestly annoyed by his comment. I mean I can take care of myself; I'm a fucking killer for Christ's sakes!
I walked out of the bathroom and bumped into Bobby.
"What you're following to the bathroom now." I rolled my eyes.
"Who's Stefan Mercedes?" He asked.
"What are you like my father, checking up on me all the time? Just leave me alone, I don't need another father figure in my life." I walked away.
"Hey wait!" He grabbed my arm.
"Don't you dare touch me!" He let go and I walked back over to the table.
The rest of the night I pretty much hung out with Jack. He was sort of developing into like a friend to me.
"What's Bobby's problem?" I asked Jack as we walked down the street.
"I don't know he's really uptight."
"Tell my about it." We laughed.
"Bobby look what your little brother's doing." Angel nodded towards Jack and I.
"Jack!" Bobby yelled. Jack turned around and looked at Bobby.
"He's up there making friends with the enemy." Angel laughed.
"Hey you were giving her advice before so don't pull that shit." Bobby was annoyed.
"What are you guys talking about?" Lexus walked over to them.
"Nothing" Angel smiled.
"So Jack, why is that you and your brothers keep showing up every where?" I asked.
"I don't know what do you mean?" Jack replied.
"Sure you do, come on."
"Actually we were wondering about you."
"Me!"
"Yeah your everywhere we are."
"Same with you guys. Hum I don't know."
"Me either."
"Hey Jack, you seem like someone I can trust. Will you just keep this between us."
"Yeah no problem."
"Ok well I'll see ya." I gave him a hug goodbye.
"Bye!" I said good night to everyone and walked to my apartment.
That night I thought about Jack, maybe I could really trust him. I thought about telling him multiple times about who I really was. But then again I didn't trust him that much.
