#2 The Devils Prayer and the Angels Answer

This Man named Dante….

Entering Dunkin Donuts there was a small line containing only three people. Getting on the line she began to dig into her bag for money pulling out a $20 bill. Another person entered the store and got on line behind her, but she didn't bother turning around to see who it was. As she was next up on line she looked at the menu and finally decided what to order.

"Next please." Said a short Indian woman. "Good Morning how may I take your order?"
"Good morning may I get a raisin bagel with cream cheese, mini hash browns and iced latte." Maya asked as she straightened the bill in her hand. The cash woman then punched in the order. "That would be six fifty." She smiled and handing the cash woman the bill but the woman nodded and pointed to a sign in big bold letters. -WE DO NOT ACCEPT $20 $50 OR $100 DALLOR BILLS-

"Shit, " She went for her wallet and all she had was $20 bills. Suddenly a larger hand than hers passed her a $10 bill. Turning to look at the one who gave her the money she discovered a gorgeous man who looked like model , but who had a edgy feel to him at the same time. He looked like a man who could possibly hurt you with no regrets. But one thing that stood out was his silver hair and blue eyes. Those two features weren't something she had ever seen in a man before. He wore a red and white plaid button up shirt that was opened revealing his white V- neck tee. "I don't have change sir. But thank you." "Keep the change, I'll buy it." he said giving a smirk, as he ordered coffee and 3 Donughts. "Thank you." Maya said gratefully.

He picked up her food and his hot coffee along with his doughnuts and headed over to the table in the far corner by the window because every other table was taken so they had no choice but to sit together. He also wore dark denim skinny jeans and brown Sperry Top Sider shoes.

"What's your name?" Maya asked with curiosity. "Dante and your name?" She sat down at the table. "Maya, nice to meet you." "Same here." He sat down And began to drink his coffee as she began on her bagel. Her face then got a bit serious. "You okay babe?" Asked Dante. "A bit freaked out. I don't think you wanna hear it." She laughed. "I'll listen if its not boring" He chuckled back. "I had a dream last night and your name was actually In my dream." There was something about him, like she knew him from some place before. He looked at her and his eyes widened a bit. "Really?..Does your last name happen to be Marten?" Maya nodded. He put down his coffee and looked closely in her eyes. "What?!" He got a little surprised from her reaction and leaned back in his chair and gave her a smirk. Had to make sure you weren't lying. With suspicious curiosity, she asked "Why? what is it?"

He got up from the table and picked up his coffee, leaving his doughnuts. "See ya later babe." he walked out the store, She then noticed he left hi donuts that weren't even touched and grabbed the bag and quickly soon after ran out the store after him pushing open the door with all her might but he was gone. "Who is he?....." She looked around but didn't see him anywhere. Then a homeless old man came up to her asking for money. But instead of giving money she gave him the donuts. "Thank you." He said walking away, as she gave him a warm smile, then wandered off.

Maya taught mixed martial arts and various fighting styles to students of all ages. She headed down the street entering Chains studio. She seen her students there waiting with smiles ready and excited saying their good mornings. Maya on the other hand was freaked out from earlier. "Everyone, just workout, and practice. Have your free time for today, but tomorrow we are back at it." -yea!- The students hollered. They were happy of course. She then drifted from the scene of her students and into her locker room where the walls were painted blue and green. She took a seat on the wooden bench with her face buried in her hands. " so weird." She whispered. She then dialed her blackberry calling her mother. The phone finally picked up. "Yes baby?" "Something freaky happened today and well-" "What happened?" Asked her mother anxious but yet worried. "I'll tell you later but do you know a man named by Dante, blue eyes, silver hair, kind of pale?" "..........you seen him? Did he tell you anything?" "No he left," "Right after work come home straight, you hear me?" "Yea ma. What is it your not telling me?" but instead of answering her mother hung up the phone.
