2/3 Game of Destiny Chapter 6-1 Normal quickly went out the window as the Alpha came back the next day for breakfast . He sat down at one of my tables again , but not the same us at lunch the day before . I had to take almost all of Dora's tables to make her take his table . I worked my ass off and tried to keep an eye on him at the same time , I groaned when Dara tripped and spilled most of the coffee pot in his lap . Mrs Jones came out and apologised and I prayed to all the gods 1 knew she wouldn't make me take over the table . One of the gods apparently heard my plea , Mrs Jones took his table personally . " Poor man , getting hot coffee all over his privates , " she told me inter after the Alpha had left .. " Yes , " was all 1 could say . " And such a handsome and nice man . Not even a little angry or offended . He even gave a generous tip at the end . " " Probably because you charmed him . " I said . " Oh stop it , " Mrs Jones said , blushing , Rich was chuckling . " Maybe hiring Dara wasn't the best decision , " she added . " Maybe not , But we won't find anyone else now . I'm sure we can surive the season , " I told her . " You're right . Let's just keep an eye on when she goes for the coffee pot . We all agreed . Dara didn't seem to r realise what a commotion she had caused . She was happy she hadn't needed to tend to as many tables as she usually did . Thankfully , Dara didn't work the lunch shift . CeCe came in and together we set the diner in order and CeCe told me the latest gossip . If it weren't for her and Mrs Andersen , I wouldn't have a clue what happened in town . In the middle of the lunch rush , the Alpha came back and again sat in my section , but again at a different table , " Please CeCe , can't you just take that table ? " 1 pleaded . " Why ? I won't take it unless you tell me why you are so hellbent on not serving him , " she told me . " I don't know . I just don't like his vibe , " I said . " His vibe ? Come on , Amie , there has to be something else , " she insisted . " I don't know , I just have a bad feeling about it . Can you take him ? Pleeeease . " I tried my best at puppy dog eyes . " Fine ! But I'm only doing it because we don't get men like him that often and he's a good tipper . And god knows he deserves some decent service after what happened this morning , " she relented . " Thank you . I'll be forever grateful " " If you really want to thank me , could you take care of Jessie ? " she asked . I looked and saw that Jessie had sat down at one of her tables . * Sure . Something wrong ? " I asked . I knew CeCe and Jessie had a thing in highschool . A month of flirting leading to a one - night stand that fizzled out into nothing . But neither of them had held a grudge and had been friends . " Oh , ehm . Well , I might have done something I shouldn't have the other night , " CeCe said . " You slept with Jessie ? " Tasked . " Well , yes . I didn't mean to . It just sort of happened . " Yeah , sure . You just stumbled , undid both of your pants and accidentally speared yourself on his meat sausage , " I said , nodding . 1/2 Chapter 6-1 " Shut up ! And who says meal Sausage ? " CeCe googled * 111 take Jéssle and you take my table and everyone is happy , " I said , " Deal . " I walked over to Jessie and saw him looking towards CeCe " Hi . lessic . " I said . " Hi , Amie , Looking good today , " he told me , but his usual line sounded flat . " Thank you . Don't worry . She's a little freaked out at the moment , but give her a day to digest it and everything will be fine . Then you can ask her out for real , " I told him . He looked at me like 1 was peaking martian . " What ? " " I'm talking about Cece . Don't pretend with me , Jessie . If you don't stop pretending and start acting like the adult you are , I'm going to have to kick your ass ," I told him . * Right , " he said , a small blush on his cheeks . " So , a couple of days ? " * Yes , no more than two . Come in with a nice bouquet of flowers and be sweet to her . " " I can do that , " he said with a nod . " Of course you can . Do you want your usual , or are you ready to try something new ? " I asked . " No , I'll have what I always have . Thank you , Amie , " he said . Chapter Comments 67 POST COMMENT NOW < SHARE 2/2 Game of Destiny Chapter 6-2 " No problem . 1 handed the order to the kitchen and made sure my bles had what they needed and kept an eye on the Alpha . I needed to think of a strategy for dealing with him . It didn't seem like he would give up , but at the same time, he hadn't approached me . So I had no clue what he wanted . Again he left the diner withou so much as a glance in my direction . Maybe I was overthinking things ? Maybe he was just a tourist ? I didn't even know if my lack of wolf and all the years living with humans had masked my wolf scent . To be on the safe side , 1 went straight home after work and stayed inside until just after lunch the next day . I had the late shift and was happy to see CeCe talking to Mrs Jones . " There she is , " Mrs Jones brightly said . " Hey guys , what's up ? " Lasked . * CeCe has just been filling me i in on your dark , mysterious hunk of man , " Mrs Jones told me . " Who ? " I don't think I fooled anyone . " Mr hot coffee pot in the knee , " Mrs Jones reminded me . " Oh right , him . What about him ? " " He was here for breakfast , and lunch , seemed disappointed not to see you here , CeCe told me . Oh please . He doesn't know I exist , " I said . " I don't know . I think you have a new suitor , " Mrs Jones said , sounding giddy . I just shook my head and got on with work . If the Alpha had come in twice again today , I could scratch the idea that it was just a coincidence . What did he want with me ? Did he think I was a rogue? There were no packs in the area , so he couldn't be worried I was going to poach on his pack's territory . My thoughts occupied me all through the dinner service . The Alpha hadn't come in . Maybe he didn't do dinner service . Could I talk to Mrs Jones and be put on the late shift everyday for a couple of weeks ? I was just trying to figure out a good reason to ask when the door opened and the Alpha stepped inside . There went my new plan out the window . As usual , he sat down in my section . " Cece , " I started , but before I could say anything else , she held up a hand . " No , Amic . It's time to put on your big girl panties and deal with him . He is obviously trying to get you to wait on him . He is always sitting in your section , each time choosing a table he has seen you serve . Now , put on a smile and go over there and see what that hunk of a man wants , " CeCe said . " I don't want to , " I objected . " Too bad . Now shoo , I have my own tables to handle . I'm only doing this because I love you , " she told me . Okay , so I needed to do this . It would be alright , I was in the middle of the diner and nothing could happen to me here . The worst he could do was to talk to me . I took a deep breath and walked over to his table . " Hi , I'm Amie and I'll be your waitress today . What can I get for your I said in my cheerful work voice . u are one hard waitress to get hold of he said in a rich and soothing voice . " Hello , Amie . I'm Finlay and you are " Excuse me ? " I said . He chuckled . Nothing . I'll have the pork chops , " he told me . " Sure thing , and to drink ? " A Coke please . " 1/2 Chapter 6-7 Coming right up , I said , grabbing his menu and disappearing to hand his order to the kitchen , I gave him his Coke and then his food . We were polite to each other , but he didn't try to start a convation . I felt relieved , I had overreacted . Nothing was going to happen . That was until I brought him his check . The dinner rush had been over for a while and the diner was almost empty except for a couple of locals sitting around , drinking coffee , I walked up to a table and put down the check . I was just about to leave . " Anie , wait a moment , " he mumbled , low enough not to be overheat , but loud enough for me to hear . I froze and turned back towards him . " I think we need to talk , " he told me . " I don't think we do , " I said , using the same low voice as him . A sua appeared on his lips . It didn't make him look even sexier . Not even a little . " I don't mean you harm , little wolf . I just want to talk , " he said . I scoffed . Little wolf , my .. " So talk , " I dared him . " Not here . Too many interested ears . Someplace , private . " " Yeah , I don't meet strange men , especially strange wolves , alone . I don't have a death wish . " " I promise you are safe with me , " he told me . " Said no predator ever , " I remarked . It made him chuckle again . " I guess you are right . Is there a public place we can talk then ? " he asked . I sighed . I didn't want to talk to him , but on the other hand , I had a feeling he wouldn't leave me alone until I did . I could tell the sheriff that Finlay was stalking me , or I could tell Jessic . Either way . I knew they would try to run him out of town . The operative word was try . There wasn't much they could do against an Alpha . " Fine . Behind the library there is a trail leading to the lake . There are some picnic tables there . No one uses them before noon , " I told him . He nodded . When can I meet you ? " " I have tomorrow off Meet me at ten in the morning . " Tll be waiting for you , Amie , " he told me . " Okay , that isn't creepy at all , " I said and walked away . I could hear Him chuckling . He left shortly after , leaving a good tip . I sighed . It felt like I had sealed my faith .
