Her Freezing Heart

Chapter 2- Amara

“Thank you sir. A waiter will bring your order to you in fifteen minutes.” I said smiling hopefully to the

last customer of my shift.

The customer walked back to the table occupied by his friends. I sighed. My shift ends in five minutes.

Aaron is serving at the moment and I am filling in for Cara at the counter or I would be serving as well.

She had a medical emergency today. Apparently her four year old has managed to chuck a piece of

crayon up his nose. The end of September is nearing and that means Asher’s birthday is coming. He

still hasn’t gotten over the ‘me going to college’ thing. He has ignored my calls for two months. He has

just started talking to me again like a week ago. He seemed distant though. I am dreading the fact that I

won’t be able to meet him for his birthday and as the budget is tight I don’t think I will be able to send

him any gift. Uhhh kill me now.

Aaron and I, have found a job at this café the very first week we arrived here. Yeah we had decided to

take it easy for the week but we stumbled upon it when we came here for a coffee while we were

looking around the city. Millie’s Café is a medium sized café. It is situated three blocks from our

apartment. It has a warm feeling to it with its cream colored walls and dark brown wooden tables and

chairs. The walls are adorned with simple wall murals of various beverages and snacks. There is a

large clear window facing the street which most of the customers prefer to sit by. The café is really

famous around here. We are never out of customers.

The bell tinged and in came Steven with his conquest of the day. A blond bimbo with a really short skirt

and a crop top barely bellow her massive breasts. Are those even real? Following them was Steven’s

friend, Austin. Steven gave me an icy glare and stocked off towards his usual table with the girl. Don’t

get me wrong. Steven is HOT, like runway hot. He has pale green eyes that can suck you in with pale

skin and charcoal black hairs that complements his other features. He has a sharp jaw and a straight

nose. He looks unbelievably perfect. He is a foot taller than me and ripped with eight packs and a nice

ass. The only problem is that he doesn’t seem to like Aaron and me from the first glance. The first

morning we met, he had made it clear that we should keep our distance from him. Cassidy wasn’t really

happy about it but she let it go. He has a cold exterior and is a complete man whore. Every single time

we come face to face, which is really rare, he sends me an icy glare that can chill anyone to the bone

marrow.

“Hey.” Austin said smiling at me.

Oh la la! Those dimples. If I hadn’t had a mate back home, I would have jumped his bones any minute.

“Hey. What can I get you today?” I asked smiling at him.

“I will have one Caramel Frappuccino, an Americano and a hot coffee.” He said in his British accent to

which I wrote down his order. “So how you been?”

“Good. How about you?” I replied.

He gave me the money after I gave him his receipt.

“Thriving.” He said grinning at me, putting his dimples on show and his gray eyes warm enough to drive

away the effects of Steven’s glare.

Those dimples should be banned immediately.

“Your order will be with you in ten minutes.” I said blushing madly.

He nodded and left to his table. Steven on the other hand was openly glaring at me despite all the

efforts of his new bed mate, who was practically on his lap by now and was doing anything she can to

get his attention. I shrugged and removed my apron as I saw the person who will be taking over me

arrive. He is cute sixteen year old boy, shy to the core. I gave him a smile which he returned and went

to the back room get my stuff. Aaron was already there looking tired out of his mind. It was ten past

seven in the evening. On week days our shift starts at three in the afternoon and ends at seven in the

evening. On weekends though it starts at ten in the morning and ends at six in the evening. They pay

us nine dollars an hour so the pay is good. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“I am dead tired.” Aaron grumbled on the way to our apartment.

I wasn’t feeling any different and I had three assignments to complete. Thank god it’s Saturday

tomorrow or I would have been in a huge trouble. The assignments are due Monday so I have enough

time to complete them. Asher’s birthday is only a week away. I would be lying if I would say I am not

scared. Asher is acting very different lately. Is he having second thoughts about me? But he can’t right.

I mean he marked me. We haven’t completed the mating part but it’s because I am not even eighteen

yet. I want to wait till I am atleast eighteen. He seemed to understand that. Well I will find out soon

anyways.

We reached our apartment to find Cassidy and Grayson about to enter their car. Grayson is a hunk. His

hair had started to grey and he stands at six foot with brown eyes and beautifully tanned skin. He is

really cool and has perfectly visible laugh lines. He can come as a little intimidating but he is completely

opposite.

“We are going on a little vacation.” Cassidy told us excitedly as soon as we reached them. Grayson

smiled fondly at his wife’s antics. “We will be back by next Friday. Take care of the house for us okay?

Take care of yourself too. You two work too much. Take a day off or something.” She finished frowning.

“We will Cas.” I replied grinning.

“Okay then we will get going.” She said bouncing on her feet, making us laugh.

That’s Cassidy for you. She is childish, caring and a really sweet lady. Her husband is no different.

Once I had walked on them fighting for a mars bar, which they had a lot but they wanted the one the

other wanted. I had laughed myself hoarse that day.

“I have already told Steven about this. I told him to look after you for me.” I am about to turn eighteen

and Aaron is already nineteen but she still treats us like ten year olds. No wonder Steven looked so

mad back at the café. “If he bullies you call me Asap.” She said giving us a thumbs up.

They entered their car and zoomed off. I am dreading a week with Steven without Cassidy and

Grayson. Well we will be busy with classes and work so it’s not like we will be seeing each other often.

Besides Steven is only home at night that too when he has some chick to bang. I sighed and entered

our new home with Aaron in tow. I took a shower after Aaron and started on preparing our dinner. After

the dinner I changed into my pjs like Aaron. Aaron flopped on his lower bunk and was snoring

immediately. I on the other texted Asher ‘Hey’. I waited for his reply for half an hour.

‘Hey! I am really tired and I am turning in early. Good night. Love you’ he texted back.

‘Okay. Good night. Love you too.’ I replied.

He seems really busy lately. It must be really hard for him juggling between pack stuff and work. Carter

told Aaron the other day that the vampire sightings has been increased past two months in the

Greycoast forest. Nobody knows why but they don’t seem to cause any harm to anyone but the pack

has increased their patrol just in case. I sighed and closed my eyes. Everything will be alright.
