Yvonne's POV
"You know, I’m just so lucky to have you angel, you complete me," he whispered almost out of breath as we had just finished the first make-out session ever since he returned home.
I snuggled more into his chest, our finger intertwined perfectly together. "Do you ever think that we will grow apart?" i whispered into his chest, i don't know why i asked such a question but i couldn't hold my tongue before uttering those ungrateful words.
He didn't reply instantly, our long and deep breaths were the only sound the room was filled with, the wait eventually ended, "I'm not aware of it myself angel, but i cannot promise it..." he said the last part with a deep, husky voice, as if concealing a great pain.
I wanted to ask him, to question him about it, why could he not promise me an inseperable relationship, but i found myself tongue-tied, something in me halted and I felt my eyes, my eyelashes getting heavy and heavier gradually and soon, without knowing, i immersed into great darkness...
"Yvonne!!!!" the loud commanding voice brought me out of my reverie instantly.
"Yes?" I asked fully alarmed.
"That adds to the fifteenth complaint of the week, you zone out as you always have and we lose customers!" yelled the manager, Herce.
"No...I...I wa-was just tr-trying to-" he cut me off almost immdiately fed up of me, "Look Yvonne, I am aware of your financial status but this time, I can't just let you work here despite your unalert behaviour," Herce said slowly.
I nodded in understanding, this would be perhaps the thousandth job I'm sacked from. Mr Zachary Scott Anderson, my dear ex husband made sure to leave me without even a penny as i had refused his "golden offer" as he says it. But I'm happy despite the fact that I'm being sacked again, I'm happy because I'm feeding my stomach on my own hard earned money and not on that bastard's cash.
"I'm obliged dear, do you understand?" Herce said suddenly holding my hand, I felt awkward with my hand in his firm grip, he leaned closer and whispered, "You know because of your enchanting beauty, I don't want you to leave, you know my room is upstairs and you hardly ever see someone hovering over there, so...how about we arrange your problem, you know this has to stay between us only..yeah baby?" he asked winking and let go of my hand, giving me a hint to follow him upstairs.
If you aren't aware of Herce, he is a huge pervert man, in about his middle thirties. I twisted my face in disgust, and instantly went to the staff room to get this stupid uniform off my body and got out of this restaurant as soon as possible without anyone noticing me.
I kept walking on the deserted road and after about a good 50 minutes' walk, I arrived home, I didn't take a bus because I was right now so broke that I didn't even have enough money for a bus ticket, about the house, it was not a huge mansion like Scott's but just a small house, my elder sister, Jeanette's house, she lived here with her husband, Gilert.
