eyes, watching the mysterious woman snicker and giggle...
Obvious flirt alert!
Although she couldn't hear a single word they were saying, the blonde started getting a little too close. And a little too handsy. Sage said something, pulling her wrist away from his face.
The young girl huffed. And Lilith was shocked to see these long nails rake across Sage's clenched jaw.
"Typical Sage," Bodhi announced shaking his head. “But if you really want the job, you've got it. No questions asked."
Lilly did need the job. She didn't want to take her luck for granted.
"Can you start next morning?" Bodhi looked at her with sincere eyes.
"I'm kinda in need for a place to stay?"
Bodhi considered it for a moment. "There's a bed and breakfast right around the corner, called The Olde Habour Inn. Then there's the Mystic Hotel and finally I have a spare room upstairs, it's a supply pantry but I could clear it out so you'd have some place to lay your head."
Lilly felt worried with just how quickly Bodhi welcomed her into his life. She met Hogan in a similar way. Hogan, her ex-husband only friended Lilith so quickly that so he could control her.
Bodhi only wanted to make Lilly feel comfortable. "Don't worry. I sleep in the diner but my room is in a separate corner upstairs. We’ll share a shower in the middle of the hall—but otherwise we’ll never have to bump into each other...” With little choice left, Lilly decided to take the job.
"When can I start?" she asked.
Chapter Two
L ilith woke up to something frying on the griddle. She rubbed her eyes with her fists and then gazed at her scars again in the mirror.
"You need to get down here, Lilly," Bodhi shouted from downstairs. "You said you wanted a job...not just a free ride and a warm bed."
Lilith peeked out of her eye and glanced at the digital clock on top of a metal stool. It was way too early for Lilly. She never woke up this early, even for her thankless retail job.
"Can you just give me one more hour?" she asked.
"No." Bodhi curtly responded, throwing an apron on her bed.
The bells on the door jingled. Sage strolled through. Lilith's lips parted slightly as she watched him approach the diner counter and lean forward with his guitar case on his back. Her eyes scanned up to the small scratch on his face.
"Looks like a nasty scratch," Lilly spoke.
"Well, my ex-girlfriend Tallulah has a preeetty nasty attitude on her for what it's worth," Sage stressed rubbing his cheek.
Lilly arched her brow. "Sounds like you probably deserved it then."
Sage shifted his weight while plunkering down his guitar case.
"Wait damn minute. Who are you again?"
"I'm the new girl..."
"See what I’m saying, Bo. If you let me do the hiring. You might actually get some good help ‘round here!” Sage hollered at the kitchen.
They both turned as Bodhi shouted from the kitchen. "Sure, what a great idea, Sage. Because what I need is another pretty face who can't manage to write up a ticket for a glass of water..."
Still, Lilith couldn't take her eyes away from Sage’s scar. It didn't look like anything a human could have done.
Lilly grabbed a handful of ice from a bucket and plopped it in a ziplock bag.
" Here , you need to numb it. Just so the swelling can finally go down," she sighed.
She lightly dabbed his face with a gentle touch. Then Lilith rocked back as she felt a tightness on her wrist as Sage gripped her arm.
"Like this," he growled. "You need to hold it like this.
God, those eyes.
Those eyes almost seemed to pierce down into the deepest pit of her soul. Sage had a dirty look in those enchanting eyes, forcing Lilith to look down.
"Looks like you've got a few battle scars of your own..." Sage rolled off the cuff, noticing the healed scars raking across Lilly's neck.
Lillith leaned back and rose up to her feet.
"I think that's enough of that..." she expressed. Letting her guard down too soon, wasn't what she intended. And she sure as hell didn't need to explain her past to
