Chapter 26: 23 Mr Morretti

A couple of weeks went by.

Kiran had bussied herself back at the diner and refused to serve Henry when he walked through the door. Due to the events that taken place a few weeks ago, she stired clear of his way. Infact the whole journey back she didn't even speak to him nor his friend, who asked if she was ok.

Was she ok?

After witnessing murder and being kidnapped by the guy who dined and pleasured her out in the public restuarant, then threatened to kill her secret crush if she didn't comply to his ardacious request. She didn't even know if he deleted that R rated video taken by somone, whom she had no idea about.

More over her stalker was back, and troubling her the text messages.

Stalker: Stop ignoring me.

Kiran: Stop talking to me!

Stalker than called her on her phone and Kiran reluntantly answered.

"Hello. Candy, did you get my flowers?"

"Yeah, and they're in the trash."

"Baby, that's so rude."

"Stalker please just leave me alone!"

"You know I can't. I hate seeing you like this. Who broke your heart this time candy? C'mon tell me? You want me to go and beat that person up? Will that get you to smile again?"

"The only person I want to beat up and strangle to death is you Stalker!" She fumed speaking at the robotic voice over the line.

"Candy, why me? What did I do to you?"

Kiran paced back and fourth in her room.

"That video you took of me, got into the hands of someone very, very bad, stalker. Thanks to you, I almost got raped because of it."

There was a huge pause of silence before her stalker spoke.

"Who the f^ck touched you Kiran? Tell me and i'll go and beat him up."

Kiran laughed.

"No, this guy is bad news. Bad news that I don't want to see, nor kiss again."

"Who is he sweetheart, just give me a name?"

"Why don't you give me yours, because I sure as hell know you're not Carlos."

"Who the f^ck is Carlos sweetheart?" Henry asked, irritated that he didn't who this other guy was.

"He's also bad news, that I don't want to talk about!" Kiran snapped then cut the call, and got ready for her work at Hulio's.

It was the last hour of the night and in came in her forbidden crush, with his best friend Mark.

"Evening cupcake." Henry said, trying to get her attention, however his sweet beloved mate simply averted her eyes from him, and escaped to the back of her locker.

"Kiran wait." Henry called out, but his defiant little lamb scurried away from his sight.

"Oh trouble in paradise Alpha?" Hana raised her brow as she came by with an empty tray in her hand.

"I need to speak to her, Hana."

"Trust me, I tried calling her out for you last week, it didn't work."

"Fine, then I'll just go see her myself." Henry barged through the staff door and followed her scent easily, down the corridor.

"There you are." Kiran gasped out of surprise, seeing him in her locker room.

"You can't be back here, sir go back to the dining hall." She averted her eyes away from him once more.

"No, I'm not leaving."

"Mr Morretti." Kiran said in a low angry toned.

"It's Henry to you."

Kiran fired him a look of dissaproval, almost making him smirk.

Another girl came into the locker room, and froze surprised looking back and fourth at Kiran and the handsome male stranger.

"Sorry, am I interrupting something?" Asked the blonde headed girl with a pink streak going down her head.

"Yes." Henry said without taking his eyes of off her.

"No." Kiran fired at the same time.

"Ummm? I'll just leave?" The waitress said backing away slowly in an awkward kind of way.

"No you won't Kathy. This lost man was just leaving." Kiran said pulling her co-worker inside the locker room.

Henry sighed and exited the locker room. Once he was gone, Kiran let out a breath of air, she hadn't realised she'd been holding.

"Woah, are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

{H} No you're not.

For the past couple of nights, Henry had been observing her and she'd been having restless nights thanks to waking up in the middle of the night and sometimes crying in her sleep. F^cking Roman, what did he do to her?! He visited in her dream again and yes they hugged, but his beloved was so shaken up that she couldn't even tell Cloud.

But Henry was determined to know.

The end of the night rolled by.

After cashing up and wiping the counter down, Kathy soon got a call on her phone.

"Hey Mom. What?! Ok, calm down don't move I'll be right over!" Kathy said in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Kiran asked sensing a panic in her tone.

"My Mom, she slipped down the stairs trying to carry the basket full of laundry down. She' already called the ambulance, but they havn't arrived and..."

"Oh my god, go Kathy, I'll clean up and shut up the diner."

"Thanks Kiran." Kathy dashed out the door.

Kiran started to flip the chairs up on the tables. She had to mop the floor, shut the lights and close the shutters. Then the door bell chimed.

"Forget something Kathy?" She asked mopping the floor, not looking up.

"I'm not Kathy cupcake." A wild tingle went down her spine as she heard his voice.

"You're not supposed be here, Mr Morretti."

"It's Henry to you Kiran."

Kiran sighed as she started mopping the floor again.

"Funny, I thought it was Hardhick Johnson was it?" She said in her angry sarcastic tone.

Henry helped by placing the other chairs upside down for on the tables for her.

"Look, I'm sorry I lied. But I had my reasons. I'm also sorry that you got involved with my business rival Roman Cortega like that."
