10. UNDER THE STARS

DIANA

My entire being was weak from all the gallivanting and attending to customers at the gas station. This job was exceedingly arduous. My stress level was voluminously waxing, draining every bit of energy I had.

A car drove in, I was literally too tired to attend to another customer but I endured a little to attend to my last customer before I head home to rest. The car stopped right in front of me.

"Diana!" Branden's deep calm voice met my ears, almost making me loose balance.

Shit!

What the fuck is he doing here? How does he know this is where I work?

I was left speechless, unable to utter any greetings as a result of the shock from his uninvited presence.

"Branden" I stared at him in blank amazement.

"Are you just going to keep staring or you're going to get in? Come on" he smirked at me.

"I'm still working" I muttered politely to him.

"I don't care I'll get you another job, just hop in" he persuaded more as he switched off his engine and took a little stare at me.

Goddd this
