"What would you do when you're taken to an amusement park by someone you consider to be very special."
~~~~~~~
Emma stopped Draken from leaving before she tiptoed and wrapped her hands around his neck, kissing him.
She didn't know if what she was doing was right but at the moment she felt she really needed to do it.
Draken held her by her waist and pulled her closer with one hand around her waist, the other behind her her head.
They shared a passionate kiss that said everything they need to say to each other.
They'd fallen deeply for each other.
Emma was the first to pull away, clearly Draken would never let go of her.
She then rested her head on his broad chest.
Who'd be the first to confess?
"I need to go to work"Emma abruptly said before she let go of him and ran away, leaving behind a happy Draken.
He was truly happy whenever he was with her, he didn't have to pretend to be someone he wasn't, he was free with her.
Emma reached outside and finally breathed. Her face was burning, what did she just do in there?
She took out her phone and texted Draken, before she took a cab and left for the café.
"Don't forget to be ready by 7 tonight, take care on your way home,bye"
Draken read the text he'd just received from her and smiled.
"This woman is really something else, she'll be the death of me"
~~~~
At the café, Emma's mind was completely filled up with Draken, every male customer that she attended to, she saw Draken's face instead.
Was that how love felt like, when you couldn't stop thinking about someone?
"Emma!!" Her boss' voice welcomed her back to reality.
"Table number 7 asked for you again " he said before he went back to his office.
It was Samantha again, this time she wasn't alone, she was with two of her other friends, Roxy and Robby, her brother.
"So this is where your sister ended up Sam?" Roxy asked.
She was the mean one who always insulted Emma.
"Gosh!! Look at you, you look so pathetic Emma!" Robby exclaimed as well.
"Say whatever you want I don't care" Emma simply replied.
"Ofcourse you won't...." Robby said before he splashed the brown coffee he had in his cup, allover her.
Emma couldn't take it anymore, she slapped him.
"Emma how dare you!!" Roxy yelled... standing up to confront her.
Samantha didn't even do anything to defend her sister.
"What's going on here!" Her manager showed up.
It had caused a commotion in the café.
"Sir I....." Emma tried to defend herself but the two siblings were hell bent on making her lose the job.
"Your employee here slapped my brother... is that how you really treat your VIP customers who put a lot of money into your business"Roxy complained.
"My employees are not like that, if she slapped him he must have provoked her but ma'am, there has to be another way we can settle this" her manager pleaded.
"There is....either she gets down on her knees and begs me to forgive her....or we have this café closed down its upto you" Roby replied.
They were doing this on purpose...to make her life hard.
Emma knew well what was at stake, she loved this job and if it meant laying down her self respect for it, she'd do it.
"Well won't you...." Roby was cut off...when Emma got on her knees.
"I apologize sincerely for my mistake sir, please don't close down our café " tears were flowing from her eyes, but the trio just laughed at her.
"Was that hard?" Roby asked before a male customer holding black hot coffee passing by spilled it allover him.
"What the hell?!" Roby shouted.
The male customer wore a black cap and his face couldn't be seen properly.
"My mistake, I didn't see where I was going" the voice belonged to Shaun.
After saying that, he walked over to Emma who was still on the floor and offered his hand to help her up.
"Mr Barns, my boss can buy this entire café and fire you...is this how you let your employees get treated by rude customers" Shaun stated further.
"Hey!! Don't talk about us being rude! I'll make you regret this" Sam snapped at him but Shaun didn't reply anything, instead he walked away.
" Let's get out of here guys, it's already such a dump" Roby said before the trio walked out.
" By the way ... you're not invited to my wedding" Sam said before she finally left.
As if Emma would even ever go there.
"But who was that man who helped me?" Emma asked herself.
"I'm so sorry Emma, but you didn't have to kneel down for them" her boss said.
"That's ok, sir it's over anyway" Emma replied before she went to the changing room.
Nothing was okay, she sat down on the floor hugged her feet and cried.
How could Sam do that to her.....did she only find joy in making her suffer. He mood and day were ruined by her, like she always did.
She fixed herself and continued to work with a plastic smile on her face.. ..she still needed to serve he customers.
~~~~~
The clock hit 7 o'clock, it was her time to get off work and meet with Draken. She initially planned to not tell him anything that had happened at work, little did she know, he'd already found out.
"You can't hide anything from me Emma, tell me" he asked her.
"I got bullied at work by my sister's friends" she replied, so much sadness in her voice.
Draken hated seeing her sad, whoever made his wife cry had to pay for it.
"But I handled it" she added.
"Ofcourse you did..." He said, pulling her into his embrace. He loved her too much, he couldn't bare to see her hurt.
"Oh no!! We are going to be late!" Emma suddenly remembered where she wanted to take him.
An amusement park!! This late night.
"Come on!! It's going to be fun" she dragged him all way inside.
Draken had never been to such places, this was his first experience.
She took him for all kinds of rides, a carousel, pop corn machines,cotton candy... winning machines and photo booths to capture the moment and save it.
The only person Emma could forget her troubles with and just be free was with Draken ..there and then, she knew he was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.....
