I stretch my hand out to shut off the annoying alarm informing me it was time to get up. I rub my eyes before reading the red numbers on the alarm clock which marked five thirty. I still had an hour to get ready but an hour flies by quick so I stand up from my bed and head towards the bathroom. The new apartment I got was way cheaper than my last one and it was okay looking. It was good enough for me. I place my uniform on the hook that rested on the door before turning on the water. After adjusting it to my liking, I strip out of my pajamas and enter the steamy shower. The warm water cascades over my tense body and I let it relax my muscles. I grab some soap and wash my body before rinsing the soap out and letting it go down the drain. I then grab some of my Suave shampoo and scrub my dark brown locks before rinsing the soap out of it.

When I am done I turn the shower off before stepping out and wrapping a white cotton towel around my body and another around my hair. I quickly dry my body, and put some lotion on before putting on my white lace bra and matching panties. Afterwords I grab my blue and white waitress uniform before buttoning it up. I put on some socks and my white converse wedges that made me look taller than my normal 5,7 height. I grab the white apron and tie it around my waist before taking the white towel off my hair and quickly tying it into a ponytail. I honestly didn't have anymore time to do something different. I grab my purse and walk out of my apartment building to meet with the Miami sun. Although it was January the temperatures reached 60 degrees so I just had on a grey sweater. I walk to the bus station and wait for my six fifteen bus.

I arrive at Douglas Diner just in time. I punch in and walk behind the counter where two other waitresses were serving the customers. A guy walks into the diner and heads towards me. The bell rings signaling someone had arrived and my eyes go to the door. In came a tall tan man with dirty blonde locks and vibrant green eyes.

"Good morning what can I get you?" I ask as I take out my notepad and pen.

"Hey beautiful can I get a regular latte and chocolate donut." He states and I write his order down.

I walk over to the coffee machine and start making him his latte before walking back to the counter and handing him his donut. When the latte is finished I pour it into a coffee cup and place the lid on it before handing it to the guy.

"Thanks love." He replies with a wink causing me to roll my eyes.

Before he left the stranger handed me the money for the stuff he ordered as well as a card with his number. I rolled my eyes at the action and threw the card away once he was gone. One of my best friends walked through the doors causing a smile to spread across my face. She rounded the counter and gave me a hug which I returned.

"Hey Marshall." I state as we pull away from the warm hug.

"Hey Jane has it been busy?" She asked and I shake my head in response.

"Not really I just started a few minutes ago and it's pretty relaxed." I reply.

Marshall's family was from Ghana but she was born here. In these last two months we have had the time to know each other and she has taken a big part in my life. Marshall had beautiful brown hair, as well as chocolate brown eyes. Aside from Marshall my other best friend was Sarah. I knew Sarah a little longer than Marshall but I loved them both the same. Sarah had hazel green eyes and short brown almost black hair with light brown tips.

"Well let's get started on another day at work." Marshall states before her first costumer arrives.

***

More customers start to come in and the diner soon starts to become packed. For the last four hours Marshall and I were busy serving customer after customer. It was now six thirty in the afternoon and Sarah had arrived three hours ago. I was in the middle of making a smoothie for one of the customers when I felt someone poking my arm. I turn my head to the side and find Marshall there and I give her an annoyed look. I turn off the machine and fully turn my body so I am facing Marshall now.

"What's up Marshall." I ask and she answers by grinning like an idiot and pointing at one of the tables.

I follow the direction her finger was pointing in before I find one of our daily customers seated at the one of the front table. Adrian McKellar better known as one of the top bachelors in Miami as well as the cities best known players. I mean who could blame the guy, who wouldn't fall in love with his mesmerizing blue eyes, muscular body, and billions of dollars? Oh wait yeah there is someone who wouldn't fall for him, me.

"Look your Prince Charming is here." Sarah states.

If looks could kill Sarah would be 6 feet underground by now.

"He is not my Prince Charming." I respond a annoyed.

Ever since Adrian, or Mr. Rich as I liked to call him, any who ever since he stepped foot into this diner these two girls next to me have said that he was my Prince Charming and that he liked me. Most probably because he always asked that I make his coffee and usual plain bagel with cream cheese.

"Yeah okay keep denying it but know that if you could you would let that man do you all day and night." Marshall added this time it was Marshall's turn to receive the death stare.

I just rolled my eyes at their little comments before walking towards Mr. Rich. I take out my notepad from my apron pocket as well as a pen.

"Good afternoon Mr. R ... McKellar what may I get you today?" I ask with a fake smile I had to give to the costumers.

"The usual." He responds not really paying attention to me.

He had his hand on his chin as he looked out the window deep in thought. I simply nod before I write down what he usually orders.

"Jane can I talk to you." He adds and I am taken aback.

First off how does he know my name, oh wait yeah the name tag. But second off why does this hunk of a man want to talk to me an ordinary waitress.

"I am sorry but I am on my shift right now and I can't just sit around talking to the customers." I respond.

"What time does your shift end?" He asks.

"At ten." I respond without thinking.

Why did I just tell him when my shift ended?!

"Alright then I will wait for you." He answers before going back to his thinking.

"Mhmm I am sure you will," I stated inside my head before I turn on my heel and walk away to make his order.

"What were you and Mr. Rich talking about back there?" Marshall asks with a curious look on her face.

"Nothing." I reply as I finish making the smoothie and start on the coffee and bagel.

"You sure?" Sarah states while raising an eye brow in suspicion.

"Yes I am sure, now leg me get back to my work." I respond as I pour the coffee into a mug and place the bagel on a plate.

I place the food on a circular tray before I pick up the silver tray walk towards Adrian who was still looking out the window deep in thought.

I place his food in front of him before he states, "Thank you."

He picks up the mug and brings it to his lips before taking a sip.

"You're welcome." I reply before walking away.

I clean up the stuff I used and then stand in front of the counter once again.

"Well my friends it's time for this girl to go home. Hasta la vista baby." Marshall states before walking out of the diner and into her boyfriend's car.

Sarah and I laughed at her little action while shaking our heads.

Ah this girl, she'll never change.

***

It was now eight forty and my shift was nearly over. Sarah had gone home early because she started to feel sick so it was only me and three other waitresses left. For some reason this diner was opened until ten at night and so many had to sometimes stay until then. I was cleaning off some tables when I realize Adrian wasn't seated at the table anymore. I knew he wouldn't wait for me. I continue cleaning the tables when I hear someone walk through the doors. There was only two costumers left and the other waitresses were in the back room on their break. I walk over to the counter to take the person's order. I open my notepad and look up to meet with my ex's green eyes.

"Jane what are you doing here?" He asks. "Do you work here?"

"No I am just standing behind this counter with this uniform on because I want to play dress up. " I answer sarcastically.

"No need for the sarcasm J." He states.

"Don't call me that now what are you going to order?" I ask as I raise an eyebrow waiting for his order.

"A talk with you." He answers.

"Why would I want to talk with the guy who broke my heart and also had me fired? Now can you please order something or else I will have to ask you to leave." I reply the anger in me rising every passing second.

"Okay I want a medium coffee with three sugars." He replies and I write his order down.

I walk over to the coffee machine and start making the coffee when he starts talking again. "J please can we talk."

"What part of no, can't you understand." I answer.

I pour the coffee into a cup and place the lid on top of it before I hand it to him. I walk to the table I was cleaning and grab the wet cloth before moving to another table.

"J please just hear me out. What I said last time it was a mistake, I-I please give me chance to explain?" He pleads and I turn around as I sigh in defeat.

If that's the only way he will shut up then well so be it.

"Okay you have one minute." I reply as I continue cleaning the tables.

"First I want to say how sorry I am for what I did. It was wrong of me but trust me I-I love you, I always did." He states and I turn around to give him my 'are you fucking serious right now' look.

"What, was that blonde chic not what you wanted anymore so you came back to me?" I ask as I cross my arms over my chest.

"No I-I realized that she wasn't anything like you, that my fortune wasn't worth loosing you. I-I love you Jane." He replies.

"Look Damian I have been better off with out you in my life and maybe those words would have made me forgive you two months ago but now, now I don't want you in my life. You just aren't what I want anymore." I respond rewarding his words. "Now if there isn't else you want to order I need you to leave."

With that I walk back to the counter and I hear the bells on the entrance door ring before the door closes. I let out a sigh of relief before wiping away a small tear that had escaped.

***

I checked the time and it was now nine so my shift was over. I punched out and walked out of the diner. I spot a limousine parked outside of the diner but ignore it. I continue walking when I realize the black fact looking limousine had been following me. I started running but it parked right behind me leaving me stuck between the car and a dead end alley. A figure stepped out of the car and started walking towards me.

Oh god I am going to get kidnapped, please don't let me die god!

I take out my pepper spray from my bag and spray it towards the figure as it came close.

"What the hell?!" The figure exclaimed as their hands went to their eyes.

The figure moved a little closer into the light and Mr. Rich's face came into view.

"Oh shit I am sorry I thought you were some rapist or something." I state as I walk over to him.

Adrian rubs his eyes until he can see clearly again.

"I am so sorry." I repeated once more.

"It's okay. Can we talk now?" He asks and I think about it before shaking my head in response.

"Sorry but no, my parents told me not to talk to strangers." I reply before starting to walk away but a pair of strong arms pick me up and carry me to the limousine bridal style. Every time I tried to wriggle out of his grip it tightened around me so I finally gave up once we where inside the limo. Adrian placed me in one of the seats and place the seatbelt on me.

"I tried to do this the civil way but you wouldn't corporate so you left me no choice Jane." He states as he pulls out an envelope.

"What the hell do you want of me?!" I ask.

"I want you to marry me." He answers.

I stop kicking and stare at him confused, he wants me to what?!

"What the, I don't even know you. You're just a daily customer at the diner I work at." I respond.

"It's not a real marriage it's just an arranged marriage for a year." He answers.

"Why me?! There are other girls out there. You can have any of your sluts do this for you. Your Adrian McKellar for crying out loud!" I exclaim.

"Because I need someone who will make my parents think I have changed from my player ways. I need someone opposite from the girls I normally hang out with." He responds.

"And why do you want your parents to believe you changed?" I ask.

"You really are full of a lot of questions aren't you? I want them to think I have changed so I can have McKellar Industries. Look if you do this you will get ten million dollars at the end. It's only for one year." He explains.

My mouth drops at the amount he is willing to give me. Does he even know what he is doing? How are you just going to give a total stranger ten million dollars?! "Well he does have the money" my mind answers. Adrian hands me the documents that the envelope contained. I scanned the documents thoroughly. The second to last page stated;

Jane Hamilton

May 2nd 1995

x

x

Adrian McKellar

February 25th 1992

x

x

Will not flirt or be with any other man when in public.

Will not tell anyone about the agreement or it will be void.

If you decide to leave before the year is over you won't get any money.

Has to kiss, hug, etc. with Adrian McKellar in public.

When not in public Adrian McKellar as well as Jane Hamilton may see anyone they want.

After the year is over Jane will receive the money, leave, and never contact Adrian McKellar under any circumstances.

Adrian McKellar nor Jane Hamilton will not have any sexual contact with one another without the other's consent.

I looked at the page once again and realized that my full name was on it. How the hell did he know my last name?!

Adrian seemed to notice my confusion and answered, "I asked one of your friends and told her not to tell you."

It had to be Marshall who told him my full name.

I take a few minutes to weigh the pros and cons and think about my decision a million times before making my decision. Ten million dollars will come in handy after the year is over. I can start my own company and make something out of my life.

I bite my lip before answering, " Okay I will marry you, where do I sign."

Adrian smiled before showing me where to sign and I grabbed the pen before signing the document. That's it no turning back after this, I just sold my soul to the devil.
