The following morning, I was eager to go to the restaurant. I really want to thank the mystery guy from yesterday.
I would have lost the job if he hadn't given me the apron cos I know coming back another day, the only thing I'll be told is that my service is no longer needed or another person has been employed.
As agreed, Kendall drove me to the restaurant again, I entered the restaurant after waving at him.
"Good morning Richard" I greeted Richard.
"Good morning, Melody. Thank God you came early. Please take these to table 7" he said.
I used my apron and carried the tray to table 7 and that was how the day's work started.
Serving the customers, I looked around for the mystery guy but I still haven't seen him.
'Does he even work here?' I ask myself.
I continue serving customers and today's work wasn't as stressful as yesterday's.
Th
Kendall opened the front door and I entered after switching on the sitting room light."What were you doing alone in the dark with your boss who you call my name?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.I knew that was the reason for his mood change."We were discussing about something" I said shrugging my shoulder as I take off my footwear."Discussing what?" He asked as he sat beside me."It's a business talk. You are not a worker of the restaurant" I said resting my back on the sofa putting both hands as he back of my head as I sighed.He grabbed my hand and made me face him."Melody, please...I....I can't afford to lose you" he said, vulnerability present in his face.I sighed and looked at him. "We were discussing about what happened to me today?" I said and he was alarmed."What Happened to you? Did a guy try to take advantage of you?
MELODY'S POINT OF VIEWIt's a Sunday morning and there was really nothing to do.Alice has come and gone. I decided to call Josh and Catherine to come over."You called Josh and Catherine, already" Kendall asked."Yeah" I replied as I came downstairs to meet him in the sitting room."Let's have some fun before they arrive." He said picking me up.Just as he moved his face closer to mine to kiss me, the front door flew open."I'm home....God, I'm under 18" Josh teased.Kendall groaned as he put me down."Hey, asshole, what did I tell you about knocking. Or we have a doorbell, you could use it" he said."Enter without knocking, you see their bare ass" he said coming in as he kissed my cheek."Morning babe" he said."Morning handsome" I said, he was trying to annoy Kendall
The following morning, I left home really early.Firstly, it was Monday and secondly, so I would have done some work before taking excuse.As usual, Kendall dropped me off at the restaurant and left.I felt like I'm being watched. I looked around and everyone was busy with their thing.I only saw a man on a wheel chair who turned when I was about to look at his direction.I just shrugged the idea of being watched away and I entered the restaurant and started the day's work.When it was in the afternoon, I went to Richard."Um...Richard, I just got a call to come home now and it's really urgent" I lied.Meeting the Lawyer was kid of urgent on my path too. So it wasn't fully a lie."Oh, alright. You can take the day off" he said."Thank you so much Richard" I said and I felt like hugging him.I though
The doctors and nurses pushed Josh into the intensive Care unit as Kendall and Catherine held me back from following them.I called Kendall and Catherine after calling 911.Kendall hugged me as I cried into his chest.This was all my fault. I Shouldn't have allowed him to come with me.And now he's lying there unconditional because of me.We stayed at the hospital for hours, pacing back and forth.None of us was saying anything. We were just praying he survives.After some hours, a doctor came out to meet us."Doctor, how is he?" I asked him."See me in my office please" he said.The three of us followed the doctor to his office."You see..." He started."The young man hit his head when he fell. He's in a critical situation. We've tried our best, he'll be resting for some days but w
Seeing his dead body, I felt cold and I ran out.I could have taken his phone but I know whoever killed him must have deleted any relevant information on his phone.So to avoid implicating myself, I didn't even touch him. I just ran out and boarded a bus back to the hospital.I was expecting to see Kendall there. I was already planning the excuse I'll give to him about where I went to but when I got there, he was not there yet.I was relieved I won't have to make up a lie and at the same time, I was worried.He didn't even call me that he'll be going home from where he went to.I suddenly became scared. He received a call and since then he had neither returned nor call.I was afraid the baddies have gotten to him too. I decided to call his number.The phone rang for some seconds but he wasn't picking my calls. Since the doctor said we can't see Josh
I entered the hospital and didn't see Catherine."Friend of the Patient Josh Smith?" A nurse ask me."Yeah, yeah" I said."He has been moved to another ward as his condition has improved" she said."So, can I meet him now?" I asked her."Follow me" she said as she started moving forward and I followed her.Every step we take to the ward makes my heart thump.What if he actually lost his memory. What If he doesn't remember me."Here" she said as we stood in front of a ward."Thank you" I said and she leftI stood at the entrance for some seconds before turning the door knob.When I entered, Catherine and Alice were there.I entered, closed the door behind me and watched the three of them as they watched me."Sweetheart, you didn't have to come, you should go ho
The judge arrived and the two solicitors, representing the plaintiff and defendant started all their talks.I paid Keen attention. Natasha keeps giving me dirty looks.I wonder what was in her mind. I looked at Natalie too and she had the same look her mother is giving me.What on Earth is their plan? She sent me out of the house and now she wants me back. To do what? To kill me? I asked myself.At one time, Aunt Natasha was called to say her own part of the story. Her face changed from the mean look to a very soft one like one who is troubled."I don't know why she ran away. I know that night, I scolded her for coming home late. I was worried something will happen to her. The following morning, she ran away" she said as she Hurst out cryingI was amazed at such an acting. She should probably go to Hollywood, since she's this good in acting.I was asked to exp
A week later, everything has been going out smoothly except Kendall though.It's not that he still isn't talking to me but he just won't go out with me or relate with me as before.Does he know about the serial killer already? Is he scared he'll end up being like Josh or worse than Josh if he is seen together with me?Speaking of Josh, he has been release three days ago and the bozo is more energetic.I think the doctors added some crazy drugs into his prescription.My work at the restaurant is going fine. Natalie and her minions haven't showed up ever since the incident.Going and coming is now stressful as I mostly walk there now and when coming back, Axel sometimes give me a ride home.We've all planned to have some fun today.We invited Axel to the house and Kendall didn't have trouble with that.No one was ready to cook so we d
