1. Narrator
Camila and her boyfriend were at a breaking point in their relationship. Camila had to take the double shifts in the bar. If not so, they would end up on the streets. David - the boyfriend - began to make bets and play the automats. Camila had no idea, how much he owns and what all covers his addiction. Mister Freegun - her boss - was a very nice person. He tried to help her as much as he could. He knew the situation was pretty bad.
“Camie, honey, come here for a minute.” He called her.
“What is going on, boss?”
“Could you take the night shift in the VIP today? I know, you're supposed to have a night off, but I need someone reliable there and that's you.”
“Okay. David is in gambling place anyway. He won't even know, I'm not home.” She said sadly.
“You should kick him out. I know, you still have the pink glasses after ten years… But this man is irredeemable.”
“Thank you for caring. I just don't know, if I would find someone else.”
“Because you're wild? Or sorry, moody? Or because you have the perfect woman body and no one else sees that?” Camila started to laugh.
“A little bit of everything, I'm guessing.”
They talked a little longer. Mister Freegun sended her to sleep for a while. He unfolded the sofa in his office for her. Camila reminded him of his dead daughter. She was a well-rounded brunette girl. Just in contrast to his daughter, she had beautiful blue-gray eyes. He thought, Camila looked like a doll. He was mad at other waitresses for making fun of her. She was an honest, hard working young woman. Even with her degree, she worked for him. Such a waste of talent. Unfortunately she had no other choice. David was a troublemaker. During the time Camila was sleeping, Liam Everlove came. Single, sexy, rich. Every woman in the bar looked at him, as if he was God.
“Mister Freegun, how are you doing?”
“Liam! Good and you?”
“Fine. Thank you for your permission to have the meeting here.”
“Not a problem. Here you have the information to the waitress. She will be behind the bar only. But Liam, please keep an eye on her. She is like a daughter to me.” Liam looked at him and smiled.
“Of corse. Can I ask you something?”
“What does a girl like her doing here?” He always knew, what Liam thinks.
“Exactly!”
“She found a guy. At the beginning he took care of her. After some time he changed and began to gamble. She knows just a small part of it, how much he owns.”
“I see. I understand.” He went through the file and found her photo. “Could I…” Mister Freggun nodded. “Would you mind, if I…”
“Liam, the photo is for you. I don't want anything from you this evening. Just a small favor - keep her safe even behind these walls. She is going to be in some deep shit, she has no idea about.” He tapped Liam's shoulder and walked away.
Liam had over two meters. Mountain of muscles. He never felt anything while looking at the photo. Yet he almost got a heart attack now. The little… She had to be little, because she even reached Mister Freegun's shoulders. I mean, she had to be between 160 and 170 centimeters. He was making a plan in his head how to win her. But to make it a reality, was hard.
“Julian, Horatio! Come here.” They both came. “This file has just the basic information. Julian, you find out everything about her. Horatio, you about the… boyfriend of hers. And one more thing. She will be behind the bar today. She doesn't have to know a thing. And we three make sure, she'll be safe.” Both agreed and Julian went outside.
“Sir?”
“Yes, Horatio?”
“Wasn't it easier to get to her directly?”
“Now just yet.” Horatio nodded and went away too.
Liam was sitting there, before the first guest came. After this he went into the dressing room, where Camila had her stuff. He left her a note: PRINCESS, TEXT ME…
Camila woke up and went to make her look human. She found the note with some number. She wanted to throw it away, but she changed her mind in the end. She put it in her wallet. It was time for the night shift. Everything went smoothly. Mister Freegun introduced her to the most handsome man, she ever saw. He had brown eyes and beautiful black hair. He looked solid, but she had mixed feelings about him. He looked dangerous. After she heard his name, she almost fated. Liam Everlove. She knew that name. His reputation preceded him. There was even speculation about him being the most powerful man in the whole world. You could say, he was part of the mafia, but even the mafia was scared of him. His firm had access to information of all kinds. In reality he was even more gorgeous in reality than in the magazines.
When they finished the formalities, Mister Freegun gave Camila the instructions about her being just behind the bar. She didn't mind that. It had to be a men's meeting. She would be so hidden behind the bar, some feeling of safety at least. Liam called every participant and made sure, the girl behind the bar was unreachable. The rumors were right about one thing. Liam really was a part of a mafia and everybody feared his power. His organization eliminated the competition by snapping his fingers. This meeting was very important for him. He indeed should have become the most powerful man in the world. He gave up the role of a playboy very long time ago, when he found, how impotatnt hs work is. He focused on the low risk businesses. Everything was legal on the paper. The bar began to be packed. Mister Freegun stood as a security by the door. The last latecomers just came.
“Well, well, well… What do we have here? A gift from the owner?” Mister Freegun wanted to say something, but they put him behind the door.
“She's not! And if you want to stay alive, keep your hands by yourself!” Liam stood in front of the entrance behind the bar. He was much taller than everybody in the room.
“Oh, come on! Only pussy in here and you won't let us play?” Liam was scared of it. New boss of Moon's family, the son of the old man, was arrogant and hot-headed. He came under alcohol and drug influence to make business.
“Come near her, make me happy! So I can wipe out your organization.” There was eye fight. Liam won. Nobody dared to move.
“Fine! But you can't watch her the whole evening…”
Liam passed the last note. They started to discuss. He almost got an migrene, when they finally agreed. Moon walked away pissed. After he left, everybody agreed, they were done with him. He was too hard to handle. If someone would break the rule, the person would end up very similar. With it all was settled. They started to leave. Liam watched Camila in the corner of his eye. He wanted to know, how she was doing. She wasn't feeling well after the scene. Mister Freegun didn't move from the bar after his return. Not even he liked this situation. There were these three left.
“Camie, everything locked?”
“Yes, boss!” She smiled at him.
“Miss, I'm so sorry for the situation. And you too, sir. I should have known.”
“Liam, the important thing is, you managed to calm it down. Camie is a big girl, when she gets her sleep, everything will be more happy.”
“As you are saying, boss. But I have to clean up first.” She avoided looking at Liam's eyes. She didn't even talk to him directly.
“Leave it. Somebody will do it tomorrow. You have day off. This service will get paid three times higher. So you can put some money in the savings account.” He hugged her around her shoulders.
“Thank you. Mister Everlove!” She nodded. “Good night, gentlemen!”
Camila went home. She didn't mind at all, David wasn't home. She had another man in her head. In the shower she pictured Liam, when she started to play with her clitoris and nipples. It didn't take long, when the sweet feeling came. She was scared of him, because he attracted her. It was hard not to think about him. While she did so, she fell asleep.
Liam stayed with mister Freegun for a little longer to help him with the cleaning.
“Liam, how will it be now?”
“You know, I would very much like to know the answer for this question.”
After parting Liam headed home. It could actually be morning. There was a surprise waiting for him at home…
