Procel's POV

I was cleaning table four when the door chimed, I shivered slightly from the cold air from the outside. "I'll be with you in a minute," I said while putting the cleaning supplies up.

I took out my notepad and went behind the counter. "How may I help you today?" I asked still not looking up at the customer. "I'll have a coffee, no cream, two sugars, and a beagle, please. Thank you, Procel." The mystery man said, I slowly looked up at him when he said my name.

It was the man that was sitting at the table with the beautiful woman four nights ago, I slowly backed away. He looked alarmed and grabbed my arm before I could run. "I'm not here to hurt you, I just want answers." He said softly.

Answers that he can't have. I thought to myself. I swore to never tell anyone about my secret unless I have to. I've kept my secret to myself for almost five years now. "I don't know what you're talking about."

I turned away to go to my car but didn't get far before a hand grabbed my arm. I turned so fast that I thought I got whiplash. "What?" I growled while snatching my arm away from him.

He looked at me weirdly. I knew it was because of my eyes. They change with my emotions. Right now I felt cornered and agitated so they were a bright golden color.

He held his hands up in surrender and I turned and went and got into my car. I looked at him in my rear view mirror. He smirked while turning and walking in the opposite direction of the restaurant.

All I could do was think to myself about how I knew he wasn't going to give up easily and about what I saw when he touched me, pain wrapped itself around my heart as I drove home.
