Hey guys I just want to say thank you for comment on my story and reading it.
And I want to say thanks to my beta.
I sat watching the clock hoping it will go faster. It had been two weeks of hell nothing was going right for me. There was always something putting me down. There was no getting back on the fucking horse again. It seemed like it was always one thing after other.
I haven't been sleeping too well at night. There have been some break-ins where I live and to top off the sleepless nights, I have a feeling that someone is following me when I walk home at night after work. It might just be my mind playing with me, although I don't live the best part of town. It's only place I can afford right now. Well, at least until I can get my book done and if someone likes it.
Working double shifts are not helping anything. I have no time to sit down and write. The only time I do is when the diner isn't busy. Which is mostly at night time and by then I'm brain dead.
Today has been the worst, rude people leaving only one or two dollar tips. At this point I'm just happy the day is almost over. What really sucked was that for the past two weeks there was no sign of Mr. Dimple. I just can't get him out of my head. I even dream of him now. I don't mean nice sweet dreams. I mean like full on wet dreams. There is something about that man that just pulls me to him but I just can't put my finger on it.
It was only an hour until I could go home. I needed to email my dad to let him know I'm still alive. He always worries about his little girl in the big city. I tell him not to worry and that I can take of myself but being cop he can't help but to worry. It's only been me and him since my mom left when I was baby. She said she couldn't be tied down anymore so one day my dad came home to find me still in crib crying.
I know what you're thinking, mother of the year right? I never have or wanted to talk to her. When I was sixteen she tried to reach out to me but I never called or wrote back. I still get letters from her telling me how much she loves her new life. She got remarried and had two more kids.
The bell sounded from the door and knocked me out of my thoughts. I looked to see who had come in with only 30 minutes left until I call it a night.
A smile came on my face. As I looked up I was face to face with Mr. Dimple and Blondie and the two other guys with him. The new guys were tall like Mr. Dimple but one was tanner then the rest.
I walk over to their table "Hello guys I'm B-."
Before I could get my name out Mr. Dimple yells, "BELLA! I was hoping you were working tonight. I had been missing that sweet smile." he said as he winked at me. Here come the bad thoughts calm down Bella!
"Hi Emmett it nice to see you again too. What can I get you guys?"
Emmett got a cheeseburger with a coke again. Tan guy got the pie of the day with a coffee. Bronze guy and Blondie just ask for some cokes. I went and sat in the back to write until the food was done.
Once I grabbed the food I walk over the table, again they were talking quietly and none of them looked too happy.
"Here you go Emmett," I said putting his food down on the table.
"Thanks Bells."
After they left, I walk over to the table and there was another one hundred dollar bill. I first cleaned their table and then Sammy boy told me I could go home. I put on my coat and hat. It's going to be a cold walk home tonight. I started walking the six block home. Until I felt some one following me.
Suddenly I felt some one grab hold of me. Then they get close to my ear and said. "You know you shouldn't walking by yourself night. You never know who is out at this time of night." I hear the smile in there voice.
I look up to see who it was. I let out a sigh when I saw it was Emmett. "Are you crazy!? You scared the shit out of me!" I sad as I face him and I whack him on the arm.
He just let out a big laugh. "I'm sorry Bells but it was too easy. "
I gave him an evil look. "Why are you out here anyways? I thought you and your friends left like an hour ago? "I said as I hold on to my coat.
"I thought I would just wait for you and walk you home. I don't like the idea of you walking by yourself at this time of night. "
"Why do you eve care about me. I'm just some girl that gives your food." I said as we starts to walk.
"Because I know what is out here and what can happen to a pretty girl like you. Plus if something were to happen to you then I wouldn't have something to look forward too when I come in." He gave me a sweet smile.
"Well thanks, but I had been taking care of myself for a long time."
"Oh really? "
"Yea, see I never had a mom so it just me and my dad. I had to lean to do a lot of stuff on my own and fast. "
"I'm sorry to hear that. What happen to your mother?"
"Umm she said she didn't want to be tied down with a family. One day my dad found her gone and me still in my crib." I look up to Emmett, He look like he was going to hit someone. "Emmett are you okay?" When he didn't answer I continued on with my story.
"I don't know, but I guess it's all worked out for the best. My dad got remarried two years ago and I'm happy with how everything turned out for me."
Emmett didn't talk much after that. He was just muttering under his breath. I couldn't really make anything. Only some words like, "why," "would," "bitch," "if I" and "she'd fucking die." After that I kind of get a good idea what he was thinking about. I couldn't help but to smile at how he is acting. I never met someone who gave fuck about me, well beside my dad.
I stop in front of my apartment buildings. "Here we are here home sweet home." I said as I gave him a shy smile. I kind of embarrassed showing him I live here. I could tell he had money by what he was wearing and the Rolex his had on.
He look over the buildings then look at me with a you have to be shitting me look on his face. "Please tell me this is a sick joke you're pulling over me," he asked running his hand through his hair.
"It's not that bad of place." Who the fuck am I'm kidding here this place is hell.
"Bells look at it, if someone leaned on it the fucking place would tip over! I know what kind a people live there and you're not one of them."
"It the only place around my job that I can afford right now."
"I'm guessing there no way to talk to you into letting me help you find a better place huh?"
"Nope, But thank for caring." I said giving him smile.
He pulls out a pen and reach for my hand. He wrote something on my hand. It felt like a number, when he let go. There was his number and name.
"Well if you won't let me help you. I'll find my own way around you. Here's my number if anything happens or you feel scared call me okay?" I just gave him a nod. "Well Bells it time for me get going. I still have a lot to do before I can go home and dream about your sweet smile." He gave me a kiss on cheek and left.
When feeling returned to my legs I walked up to my place and I unlock the door. Walking in everything looks like it did when I left. I find pen and paper wrote down his number. I took along shower to wash the grime of day off of me. I get in my bed and laid there thinking about Emmett. Wow, I never thought a man like him would ever give me the time of day and yet he is walking me home and giving his number. I hope I don't wake up and all of this was dream…..
