“Because I…I think- Because I love her,” Cas*y scoffed but something happened inside of me when i admitted those words. I did, I loved her and I needed her back.
*She heard all about the love you have for her from Sam and Cole and all of the others. What is this, huh? Some new bet? To see if you can get her back and then what do you win?”
“Cole’s been detained, he’s in the dungeons awaiting his sentence. Im sorry that i didn’t do that sooner,” Her eyes fell and her mouth was left agape.
“I’m done with the others as well and if anyone so much as throws nasty remark on anyone again they will be dealt with. I understand the weight I carried in all of this by allowing it happen but it’s done, I’ve changed and it’s mainly because of her.” She sighed and looked down at the stairs and when she looked up at me again my heart stopped because I savethe answer.
“I’m sorry, Aiden, I don’t know where she is,” No…
“There must be something you know. Someone she was in contact with, she couldn’t have done this on” then it hit me.
“Her brothers.” I said.
“Yeah, they were the ones who planned it and helped her out of here. You know, that’s another funny thing, when they called her and said that the plan was set in place and they were ready to come and take her Cassidy smiled and giggled but when her eyes locked with mine they turned dark and narrowed in on me.
She said no. she said that she was happy here and that she wanted to stay.” I clenched my jaw and dug my nails into my hands. The air was stuck in my throat and my head was throbbing.
“I’m gonna fix this,” she shook her head.
“I don’t think you are,” she whispered and the words were like daggers stabbing me all over.
-Gabby’s POV-
“Hi, I’m Gabriela, my brothers said they had talked to you about a job so-
“Yes, yes, very busy, grab tray and make coffee. Hurry!” He said and waved me off. There were like three people in the cafe and everyone was sitting with their computer or book and minding their own business.
“Alrighty then,” I said and walked behind the counter.
“I leave now. Bye,”
“Wait, what? I don’t know what to do!” I said and raised my hands.
“You learn, keys under cashier, goodbye,” he walked out of the door and it closed behind him.
“Did he seriously just leave me here?” I asked into the air.
I started googling on how to make different coffee drinks and just as I was to give up and throw in the towel, lock up the shop and Teave, I saw a binder under the desk. It had all the recipes and instructions for to make the d*mn coffees.
“How hard was it to tell me this was here?” i asked annoyed.
“Sorry, am I disturbing something?” I jumped up and looked at the man standing on the other side of the counter. Thick, dark hair that fell to the side of his head, dark eyes and the darkest lashes I had ever seen on a man. It was cold outside but he was only wearing a long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His entire right arm was covered in tattoos, his muscles were bulging g with every move he made and he had broad, big shoulders.

“Hi, sorry, no, i’m just…just talking to myself,” I said and laughed nervously. Holy shit, who was this man? His smolder could make anyone swoon, me included.
“Are you new? I don’t think I’ve seen you here before,”
“Yes, Uhm, I started today,” I said and wiped down the counter.
“Well then, I’ll make easy on you, black coffee please,” I smiled like a phony
phony and nodded my head.
“I know how to make that,” I said.
“When do you end your shit?” He asked me when I handed him the coffee.
“I have no idea,” I said.
He walked over and sat down on one of the chairs by the desk.
“I’ll just stay until you know,” he said and started sipping on his coffee. The cup was between his lips and he took out his phone and started tapping. His eyes lifted and our eyes locked. He grinned before looking back at the screen and I quickly turned my head.
The door opened up and the quiet and calm was over. College students poured themselves in through the door and my heart started racing in my chest from all the orders I was about to have to take.
“White chocolate mocha please,” the first guy said and the others, to my surprise, waited patiently for their

turn.
“Here,” The tattoed stranger said and walked behind the desk. He handed me his cup and walked me over to a chiar, sat me down and started making the coffees.
“Why can’t she help, Easton?” One of the girls bit out.
“None of your da*n business, Cathleen.” He said and eyed her down.
The coffee shop was now emptied of people and I was about to lock up.
“I didn’t get your name,” I said as he wiped down the machines.
“Easton, and you?”
“Gabby,”
“Ah, well, it’s nice to meet you,” he said and extended his arm. I shook his hand but he didn’t let go, he walked closer and raised his
thumb, dragging it over the side of my mouth,
“Milk foam,” he said.
“Thanks,”
We walked out and locked the doors.
“What do you do for work?”
I asked him as we began walking down the sideway.
“I’m a history teacher at the local highschool,” d*mn, a teacher like that would’ve definitely made me pay attention in class.

“When did you move here? He asked.
“Toda
actually,”
“Running away from someone?” I froze and looked up at him. He rose a brow and stared down at me.
“What would make you say that?” I asked.
“Nobody moves to this town because they want to,”
“I happen to like this place,”
“So tell me, who are you running from?” He was nosy but I couldn’t tell wether or not I liked it.
“It’s not a “who’ but a
“what”
“Okey, what are you running from?
“My life,”
“Why?”
“Becuase it wasn’t mine anymore and I wanted to take it back,”

“Regarless of your cryptic reasons, I’m glad you chose this town,” He said and smiled. We stopped outside my apartment and I lifted my shoulders to my ears.
“Thanks for walking me home,”
“I actually live here too,” he said and smirked.
“Really?”
We walked in and he was on the floor above mine. We said our goodbyes and i walked inside. When I closed the door, I leaned back toward it and tried to recap this day but it was foggy.
