to squeeze them into fists to stop them. The sooner I got this over with the sooner I would start to feel comfortable again. I took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
I decided to walk in-between the other tables as I now knew where I was going and could get to the bar without having to walk past the top table. I noticed the other waitresses looking at me and the only one that waved was Rue. I was still dumbfounded that she knew it was me seeing that she was blind. Maybe it was my smell, but when I had smelled my skin before leaving (Checking I didn't smell of BO from not showering) my skin had smelled different because of the rain. It had given it a fresh outdoor smell with a kind of earthy tinge.
Once past the scarier tables of people that seemed something more than just different I walked up to the bar to meet Karmun. I wondered if he ever took a day off?
“Here she is, back to fight another shift, how's the noggin?” He pointed to his own head as if I needed an indication to where it was but it was sweet just the same.
“Fit and healthy and ready to be put to work.”
“Well ok, put your bag in the back and I'll get your first table’s drinks ready.”
It didn't take me long before I got back into the swing of things and everybody had asked if I was feeling better. Apart from the obvious, the ones that weren't part of my table plan and of course Draven.
I noticed him at his table surrounded by his usual entourage. There was his sister to his left and his brother to his right. I had never really noticed his brother before, only seeing him briefly when they first arrived, as I could never usually get past watching Draven. His brother was very handsome but that was no shocker there. Their gene pool must have come from bloody royalty!
His eyes were a mix of Sophia's and a bit of his brothers, but I could never imagine anyone in the world having the same eyes as Draven's. He was fair-haired, unlike his sister or his brother. His hair looked like gold and it was cut short in a halo of tight curls giving him an angelic look. Only his eyes suggested otherwise. They looked cold and heartless when the person next to him spoke. He looked bored and not amused. I shuddered at the glare he gave them. His body was smaller, leaner than his brother’s but he too looked powerful. He also looked younger, with a softer skin covering his face and his chin was not as square as Draven's. But again his eyes revealed there was nothing soft about him. He too was in a suit but he didn't wear a tie or waistcoat like his brother did. His look was more smart/casual, whereas Draven's look clearly stated that he was the one in charge.
Sophia once again looked radiant in a black dress that was cut across the shoulders and went down into a pencil skirt around her perfectly shaped legs. The others around the table consisted of a mixture of people. There was another beautiful woman with flaming red hair that reminded me of Libby only she was very tall and athletic looking. She had a long neck and amazing brown eyes that looked like dark chocolate. Her skin looked as if it had seen a lot of sun as it glowed a golden colour. She was wearing a red suit as if ready for a day at the office. I felt a pang of jealousy as though a snake had bit me and the venom was making its way round my body via the bloodstream. That was the life I would never have, so why did I even bother thinking about it.
I pulled my eyes away from her perfect features and looked at the others. There was a Japanese man who wore a long black and red robe over black trousers. The material looked embroidered with red silk symbols that were encircled twice creating a pattern. He held his hands together in his long sleeves and looked content, not smiling but also not frowning like the others. I counted one more guy and one other woman but they were out of my view so I couldn't make out any details.
The rest of my night went by without incident or more importantly
