Broken Pieces - L. S. (read any book TXT) 📗

to rest. There are always 3 people in the dining area and 1 in the kitchen. Everything is rotation, so tomorrow I will need to learn how to operate the kitchen.  The work is tiring when it gets crowded especially at noon and at dinner but it’s fine, at least I don’t have to sell myself to earn money, I am done with that when I left Dan and I am not going back.

 

 

 

I woke around 8 am to prepare for work, for the first time I didn’t dream about Dan, I really wished that I will stop having nightmares.

Kate is still asleep since she went home around 3 am, actually her shift will start at 12nn like me but I will be observing today that’s why I woke up early.

I went to the kitchen and found Alice; the 19 year old brunette who use fake lashes and very red lipstick. She stays at the room opposite ours with the other blonde name Jane If I wasn’t mistaken.

“Morning” she greeted me.

“Morning” I replied.

She cracked some eggs and put them on the bowl.

“I was the one in charge for the breakfast” she said.

I smiled and opened the fridge for some orange juice. I sat on the chair and sipped on my juice as she started cooking the eggs on the frying pan.

“Where are the others?” I asked when I noticed that no one was there aside from us.

She placed the scrambled eggs on the plate.

“Jane my roommate and Sally went on a run but they’ll be back in a bit, Megan is in the supermarket with Ron to check for some supplies” she answered as she put the bacon on the pan.

I nod as I stared at her cooking more food. She was wearing a khaki knee length short and a spaghetti strap top paired with her pink furry slippers. Her hair is in a messy bun, she is pretty like Barbie doll. Another thing I noticed with the people who works at the diner, they were all pretty; tall, skinny, pale skinned, long haired long legged young girls. I was kind of flattered to be included.

“I think Kate is still sleeping” she said.

“Yeah, she went home late last night” I comment

She nods as she put the bacon on the other plate.

“Last night was her duty” she said.

“Duty?” I wondered.

“Yeah, she didn’t tell you didn’t she?” she laughed.

I shook my head.

“Didn’t tell me what?” I asked.

“You will find out soon” she said.

Like before I didn’t understand what she meant, but I shut my mouth up I don’t want to be the girl who pries. She made some toast then set the table.

“Let’s eat, don’t wait up for them” she said.

I nod and started filling my plate with some food. She told me a lot of things, mostly things that Kate already told me yesterday. But she never mentioned anything about the duty so I didn’t ask anymore. Besides I am one of the waitresses, I don’t live in a fancy place like the one Keith gave us so I don’t think there is something more behind us serving food.

 

 

 

 

Like yesterday the place started to get crowded when the clock hits 12 o’clock in the afternoon. People from the beach rest to get some lunch, I stopped observing from the kitchen with Lana; the 20 year old red head and the oldest in the group, she doesn’t wear makeup like the others but she seems to be obsessed with body piercing . Ron told me to help taking orders with the other girls.

When the place got little calmer I saw two blondes entered the diner, they were both wearing 2 piece with short shorts the other is green while the other one is orange paired with flip flops. They both carries towel so it’s obvious that they just gone from the beach.

They sat on the table so I immediately went towards them to take their orders.

“Hi, what can I get you for lunch” I politely asked as I handed them the menu.

They girl with gorgeous pair of green eyes scanned the menu while the skinny blonde who wore orange swimsuit keeps on glancing at the door.

“We’re still waiting for someone” the skinny blonde said. 

I nod.

“Alright, if you’re ready to order just call me” I smiled and went towards the next table who was calling me for assistance.

Before I was able to reach the other customer I bumped into the girl who was hurrying inside the place.

“Jillian?”

How can I forget that familiar pitchy voice and her gorgeous locks paired with smoking blue eyes, sharp pointed nose and full lips? Besides it’s only been three days since we parted ways and I decided to be on my own.

“You work here?” she asked.

I gave her a boring nod and walked to the table who was calling me before I bumped into Nicole.

“Can I help you?” I asked the old guy from the table near the window where you can see a full view of the beach.

“Can you give me another glass of iced tea?” he said.

“Sure, I’ll be right back” I said.

I made my way to the counter to get the tea pot.

“How are you?” she asked.

I didn’t notice that she followed me.

“Never been better” I sarcastically answered.

She smirked but still followed me when I walked back to the old man and refilled his glass.

“Anything else I can get you?”

The old man shook his head and I walked away from his table. Nicole followed me and she really isn’t getting that I don’t want to talk to her. I am not being a bitch or something and I am also not being unfortunate for everything she had done but I am still pissed at her for lying to me.

“Can you at least talk to me?” I felt the frustration on her voice.

How dare she sound frustrated for me not talking to her? I slightly shook my head but I chose to ignore her attitude.

“Jillian, please stop acting like some brat!” she snorted. “I lied and I’m sorry but after everything I have done for you I don’t think I deserve like this.”

Wow! She is really testing my patience.

“What do you want me to do? Kiss your feet for helping me escape?” I snapped.

I managed to keep my voice down even though I was really mad, I don’t want to catch any attention especially my boss’.

“No! Of course not I just don’t like this” she moved closer to me. “All I want is for you to hear me out. I only hooked you up with Keith because I want us to have something to start on, the offer was good. And it’s not a permanent thing, you can go if you want, I just thought you want to save money to continue your studies and Keith really pays a lot” she whispered.

“Yeah, and he asked a lot too” I smirked.

She rolled her eyes.

“I’m sorry but I am not coming back there, this doesn’t pay a lot but I prefer to be here than to sell myself”

She nods.

“Well if that’s what you want I am not going to force you, good luck and is that your boss?” she suddenly asked pointing on Ron who was sitting on the cashier like the usual.

“Yeah” I nod. “Why?”

She shook her head.

“Nothing, just be careful okay?” she shrugged her shoulders.

I didn’t get what she meant but I just nod and then I watched her walked towards the table of the two blondes I was servicing earlier. Then I figured those were Keith’s girls.

 

 

 

 

I woke up in the middle of the night because of another nightmare courtesy of non-other than Dan. I was sweating all over my body, my throat is dry too so I decided to get something to drink. I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and its 3 am. Kate is snoring so I tip toed to the kitchen cause I don’t want to make any kind of noise.

I didn’t turn on the kitchen bulb cause the full moon is just enough to light the way. I took some mineral water from the fridge, I drank it right away and an instant satisfaction covered my throat.

I was about to take the stairs to go back to our room when I heard some gasping coming from Ron’s room. I also noticed that his lights are on which was weird cause Ron usually sleeps from 8 in the evening until 6 am. Staying there for almost a week now made me memorized his daily and nightly routines. A sudden panic washed over me, with Ron’s weight it’s not really unusual if he gets a heart attack. I was shaken by the thought, what if he is really having a heart attack? What will I do? Should I wake the others? The gasping went louder and my heart beat became faster. I went to his room and gasping turned groaning, the door is slightly open so I decided to peek inside first and I was thankful that I didn’t go in there cause apparently Ron wasn’t having a heart attack, the gasping and groaning are due to the intense pleasure he was getting from Megan; Lana’s roommate and the youngest among us seventeen, she has this innocent big black eyes with long lashes, small sharp pointed nose, and small lips. And I can’t believe that behind that innocent look she is giving Ron a blow job.

I immediately tip toed back to our room; I was chasing my breath as I lock the door and sat on my bed. I can’t believe that Megan will do such thing; it’s not that I judge people but based on my experience those people like Ron, they are old, bored and disgusting. I still want to puke every time I remember being fucked by 5 different guys at the stag party Dan signed me up for and not to mention being taken by my evil step father since I turned 14.

“Hey, why are you still awake?”

I almost jumped when I heard the husky voice of Kate.

“N-nothing. . .” I lied.

She looked at me with eyes wondering what’s going on. I was sweating and I was breathing so fast. She sat on the bed Buddha style.

“Tell me what’s wrong?” she asked concernedly.

I don’t know what to do, should I tell her? But if I do Megan might hate me and I don’t want them to think that she is such a slut. But shouldn’t they need to be aware that there something like that going on in our work place? Cause it may be possible that Ron is just forcing Megan like what Dan did to me and if I tell Kate now, maybe we can act right now.

“Come on, Jill. You know you can tell me everything.” She said.

I’ve only been here for a week and since I stopped any communication with Nicole, Kate and the rest of the girls are basically my family now and of course Kate is the closest with me.

“Alright” I sighed. “I went to the kitchen to get some cold water” she listened. “And I heard something in Ron’s room” I stopped cause I don’t how to say it in a way that Kate wont judge Megan.

“You saw Ron fucking Megan” she laughed.

I was horrified. She knew? And they didn’t even do anything about it?

“You knew?” I asked.

I am really confused about everything. Kate nods.

“All along you knew? And you didn’t do anything about it?” I asked.

She shook her head and smirked.

“That’s not how it works here Jill; Megan isn’t the only one doing that. . .” she paused. “I do that and the rest of the girls here too” she admits.

She only made everything more confused for me. They all sleep with Ron? But why?

“I knew you are wondering why we do that, its part of our job, it’s what we do for a living and I am not expecting you to understand. I felt the same when I first started here, but eventually I got it and
