August 28, Friday

Friday I was completely and utterly consumed by the man. He hadn't left my thoughts for a single second. All I could think was who was he? Why do I feel so attracted to a stranger? For gods sake I didn't even know his name!

But that still didn't stop me from dreaming of him. Or of his tattooed hands on my thighs...

Oh my god, this is not me. I've had sex like twice in my entire life. Obviously not enough for me to be this horny.

The bell of the door rings throughout the day like usual. I stir and bake treats over and over again. It was a Friday so it was incredibly busy. I would occasionally go and clean the tables so Becca didn't have to.

Was it bad I was kinda hoping that the man would show up again? I'm a legit psychopath.

Almost a hour before closing Becca comes into the kitchen. "Hey, some girl said she wanted to talk to you?" Becca said. I raise my eyebrows in confusion. I had just got to town, how would anyone know me.

"Alright." I put down the dishes I was cleaning and push my hair back. Becca goes to clean tables as I leave the kitchen.

It was the girl from the other day. She could obviously see the confusion on my face as she talked immediately.

"Hey, I came here a couple days ago. I realized your new since I know everyone here and I'm here for the week. So I was wondering if maybe you wanted me to show you around the town and hangout before I leave. You seem really nice." The lady said quickly. I try to take in everything she said fast.

"Um sure. I can do some time next week but I have work on week days. I'm Isabella." I say politely with a smile. I had no idea who this chick was but more friends and connections is what I needed. And she could help me figure out my way around the town.

"Omg great! I'm Cara. I'll show you around town during the week. Just give me your number." Cara said with a wide grin. I wonder if she had any friends. She said she was just down for the week.

I wrote down my number as Becca came back around the counter. "Hi I'm Rebecca. I heard some of your guys conversation, not spying or anything but I was wondering if you wanted to come eat dinner with us tomorrow. We're going to the restaurant Cherries with some of my friends." Becca says. Maybe that was a good idea.

I was becoming friends with Becca and if Becca was friends with Cara then that would be great. We could all be friends.

"Really! I've been so bored at the house I'm staying at. There's no one I can hang out with. I would love that." Cara says. Cara then writes down her number and slides it on the counter. I smile in content at the new friends I was making.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Cara waves goodbye as another customer walks in. We wave to her then get back to work. Although, as she was leaving, I swear I saw her leave in a truck. The truck the man was driving yesterday.

After a long day of work I come home and do my usual. This time though, I search through my closet to find something to wear to the dinner tomorrow.

I wanted to look nice but not look like I'm trying to hard. I lay out the outfit I was planning to wear tomorrow then go straight to bed. I was tired and needed my sleep. Especially since I was planning on sleeping till 3pm.
