we all sit down to get some food, staff always eat after customers have been served. makes life easier for everyone.
we try and eat together as much as possible but the maintance and gardening staff eat together in the garage as it has a kitchenette attached. the cleaners will eat as they get hungry.
I get pulled out of my thoughts as Liz sits next to me
'how you feeling?' Liz ask's
'I'm doing okay just feeling abit shaken still but more annoyed with the rudeness of Mr ass and his entiletment' I honestly reply back.
'I cant get over how he was talking to the Sarg, like I know they have money but have some respect' say's Mark
'I know like how rude can you be and to someone in uniform' Angel responds
'how long are they staying?' I ask angel
'there here for 3 days but may be moving into the area, you know the big manor house that was closed down as they could'nt run it any longer?' Angel reply's
'yes I remember' says Liz
'It's the one at the top of the hill, closed about 4 years ago. It was one of the first place's we showed you when touring you around the place' mark says to me
'Oh yeah, they must have big money. wasn't there a murder in that house?' i ask remembering one of the rumors.
'Apprently, but no one has said yes or no on the subject' Angel replies while taking a bite of her hunters chicken
'well if they want to live in a potential haunted place that's on them' I say back
we all nod in agreement as we finish off our food. one thing I can say about this place is no matter where you go the food is just amazing. The flavours are just from another planet, it could be the fresh air it could just be the people who make the food.
'So how has the royal pains been today so far?' I ask everyone
'well they have been a little picky with the food, was happy when the order of exotic food came in' mark huffs out
'that bad?' I ask
'well he was demanding to know why you wasn't working today' Liz reply's with a worried exspression
'I don't mind putting him in his place again' I respond with a look to say I mean business
'I bet you would love that, with all that sexual tension going on' Angel replies
'I will kill you! there is nothing going on and nothing will' I state giving Angel a death glare
'yeah yeah, at least your protected. he was on and off watching the cottage with the Cain guy' Mark say's
I stare at him confused along with Liz and Angel
'what do you mean they was taking in turns watching my place?' I ask starting to panic
'well they was asking about why the police was here and started asking them if there was a update' mark responds
I look at Angel with a panic look, is this what I've been worried about? I don't know whos safe and who isn't.
'It's okay, we have all got you covered' Angel tries to plead with me knowing I'm going into panic mode
'With the person trying to get in and now i'm being watched by pricks with money, i just hope the cops stay abit longer' I sigh
I'm not huge fan of police officers after what happened with my ex but I feel abit safer with them being here.
'I will speak to them see if they can spare one or two officers for a couple days' Angel says while grabbing my arm while trying to comfort me.
'Thank you, I hope they will we both know how Sarg is abit skeppticall with me after he learned about my past' I say looking down
'You was proven innocent he cant blame you or anything' Liz replies
'I know but it's why I left my last place, I was treated like a criminal even though i was innocent. what if the person that killled Max is the same person that was here last night?' I start to cry while shaking.
'Don't think like that, you are safe. You have us to protect you!' Mark say's
these people have been the best thing, they have had my back since I got here. I could imagine my life without them. I never stayed in one place more then a month. But here feels like home.
I really don't want to leave here but i'm also scared that these people don't deserve to be hurt. they are good people.
'I just don't want to leave but maybe its for the best' I admit
'You are not leaving, your our family and your staying put!' Angel stands to face me. making me look at her
'okay but if it gets to dangerous I wont stand by and let you all get hurt' I say looking at them all
'Deal but nothing will happen we will make sure of it' Mark says looking at us all
when I got here I wasn't planning to stay long but they soon broke me down, after I got comfortable they broke down my walls. I told them everything and they never judged me. Speaking about my past was the hardest thing, Angel wants me to see a doctor or a physic.
I've thought about it but never had the courage to go, to speak to someone about how crappy my life was. To be told that i'm broken when I already know that.
To be told im uncapleable of love because I have adbandoment issues and 'Daddy' issues. like I don't already know that about myself. Max new the same and even tried looking for my birth parents but my birth wasn't registered till after I was found and there was no record of a missing baby missing anywhere. like my birth parents didn't exist.
'well im going to go on a walk to the market, grab a few bits maybe go into the chairty shops.' i stand heading to the sink.
'Do you need anyone to go with you?' Liz asks
'I'll be fine, its day light and there's plenty of people around. I will be okay' replying back to her with a smile.
'As long ass your sure? Don't want anything happening to you' Liz says
I smile ay her to re assure her, I quickly wash my plate and the odd little bits in the sink. Its important to always help others weather it's big or small.
'Anyone else got a plate to wash?' I ask before I head out
'Leave them we can finish up' Mark replies
'Okay i'm gonna head out, wont be longer then an hour' I say as i know they will worry.
They are new to my background and now they have a taste of what I have lived with my entire life. I won't let anything happen to them, I can't they are good people they are family. For the first time I have a family and I want to protect them at all costs.
I put on my zip up hoodie as its not warm but its not too cold, its the perfect weather for a walk.
'I'm going to head out will see you all soon, I wont be long promise' I say as I head out.
It's spring time so flowers are starting to bloom, always starts with the daffodils. The fresh air blowing with a slight breeze, sun is out with lovely blue skies. A few clouds in the sky, a lovely light grey with white spot's.
Possibility of rain but not much maybe a light sprinkle, but the air smell's clean and fresh. The slight saltiness in the air from the ocean make's everything seem better. The sound of the birds coming back as it's becoming warmer, soon it will be warm and busy. But for now I'm enjoying the quite and peace, well what bit of piece I can get with everything that's going on.
One thing I can enjoy is the walk towards the market section, we have a few shops but not many. It's perfect time of year before the mini chaos begins, we get busy but not too busy.
The closer I get starting to hear the bustle of the market, the laughing of the people. hearing the chatter of the town, this place just feels like home.
'Hey Ze, heard what happened. Are you okay dear?' Mrs Bradwell asks. she runs the little flower shop just round the corner
'I'm okay was shaken up but i'm alright they never got in and the police arrived quickly which was good' I reply back to her
'Well that's good dear, couldn't imagine if anything happened to you, it could of happened to anyone' Mrs bradwell say's.
'I'm glad it was me because someone else might not be as lucky. But they should be getting him soon' I say trying to re assure her.
'I'm just glad that no one was hurt, the crime rate is very low is this town' Mrs bradwell says
'I know it's very strange, lets hope there's no more' I reply back
'I'll let you go sweetie, just glad to see you unharmed' she says holding my hand
'Don't worry ill be popping in at some point soon, it was good to see you' I quickly say before we go our seperate ways
I head towards the cafe grabbing a coffee before I start shopping, I can already smell the coffee coming from inside as I reach the door. It's the most gorgeous smell in the world, for a small town we have the best coffee.
They get beans from all around the word and have different types of coffee machines and pots to suit everyone. We have a few members that are abit picky and sometimes snobby.
'Hey girl, how you doing?' Isy asks. she's one of the daughters of the owners.
'I'm doing okay, how's everyone here?' I ask, I know that her parents haven't had the best health lately.
'Everyone is good, all worried about you with what happened. Did you want your usual?' Isy asks knowing the answer.
'of course you know me so well' I say with a laugh
'I'll put extra hazelnut in there with some cinemmon just for you' Isy says as she cracks on
'Don't forget to let me know if you need any help here when it picks up' I say as she works on my order
'Don't worry I won't, we would prefer to get you then someone else. especially after what happened last year with Mary' She says
'I almost forgot about that, the mess took us hours to clean up and she was only here for 20mins' I laugh
'Tell me about it, I swear she was just throwing stuff around the room' Isy says
'I could acutally believe that, especially after she didn't know where to put the milk and mixed sugar and salt in the posts.' I reply
'I want to know how she managed to get perfect grades in school' She states
'Same like I bearly passed my exams but I don't think I made a mess like that since i was a toddler' I say back to her trying not to laugh
'Don't i'm never hiring a part timer ever again.' Isy says as she hands me my coffee
'I don't blame you, here you go' handing over the money
'Thank you, are you still free tomorrow? I have it off so we can go to the beach and maybe the pub?' She asks wiggling her eye brows
'yeah i'm still off and that sounds perfect to me, what time should we meet?' I say to Isy
'lets say 11am? that way you can have plenty of sleep and plenty of time to get sorted.' Isy replies
'Sounds like a plan to me, I will see you tomorrow' I say to Isy as I head back out
'See you tomorrow sexy' Isy says as she's laughing giving me a wink
People would think we were a couple if they didn't know that we became best friends, when I first arrived here the cafe is where I started. That's when I first met Angel and she was telling Isy that they needed a new hire as the last was quit, she told Angel about me and that the summer was ending they wouldn't be able to keep me on.
Then I ended up at the resort but still help out at the cafe when then need as a thank you, plus there good hard working people. And I know her parents health is getting worse so if I can help I will. The thing is about this little town is everyone has each others backs, no matter what we protect our own.
