6 Indigo

"Okay well my name is Sean and you my dear can come stay with me if you'd like and I know that right now Mrs. DiDi is looking for another waitress" I look up at Sean wondering why he's want to help me.      

"Oh no it's okay I don't want to put you out, I'm sure I can fin-"

"Honey I didn't mean it when I said if you'd like" I look at him a little dumbfounded by his boldness "I can't let you just wonder around now can I" there's a ding and Sean gets up grabbing my plate and coffee then comes back placing both in front of me.      

"Now eat up I'm off in 20 minutes then we can go" I nod and start eating and finish just as Sean's shift ends.    

We've been walking for 10 minutes when he turns a corner then says

"What's your name by the way? Here I am taking you home with me and I didn't even get your name" he lets out a small breathy chuckle while shacking his head.

"Oh right, I'm Indigo" he stops in his tracks and turn to me giving me a quick up and down glance then says "Unique name it suits you" then he starts walking again.    

"Girl I have to say you are so pretty even with all those poorly covered bruises on your face and arms" I'm taken aback by his comment about my poor cover up job. I personally thought I had done a good job at covering them up but apparently not.    

"I can tell you this right now as soon as I saw you walk through them doors I was like yes she is going to be my Bestie" I laugh as we walk to his house and I'm thankful he didn't ask about my bruises.     

"What makes you so sure I want you as my bestie" he stops and looks at me then starts laughing as if I had just told him the funniest joke in the word.     

"Babe trust me I can already see it, I'm your bestie, plus I wasn't giving you the choice in the matter now come on" he grabs my free hand because he insisted on taking one of my suitcases for me and he pulls me along with my suitcase to the front door of a small but cute apartment.     

"Okay now I'd love to stay up and chat but I just worked a double so you my dear can sleep here" he says turning on the light to a cute bedroom with touches of blue and gray scattered through out the decor of it "I'll sleep on the pull out. No arguing" he says holding up his right hand to shut me up as I open my mouth ready to protest.     

"Now good night I'll see you in the morning k" he does that kiss on each cheek thing then closes the door leaving me standing there with a feeling of hope in my heart.

It's been three months now, and true to his word Mrs. DiDi was looking for a waitress and with some help from Sean I got the job and started working right away.

The job was easy to pick up and I only messed up a few orders in the first few days of working.

I've come to love it some days but then there are other days were I wish I could just walk out especially when I have to deal with rude customers.

I took the little bit of money I had left from when I left New York and my first paycheck and got me a small apartment like Sean's on the second floor of the same building and I'm now saving up to buy a car  yet again.
