Sorry I know, I know, it has been years, but I have a very good excuse, I had the longest writers block in the world, it is really hard to try and do someone's work, so I give up on that and hopefully this become my work and my storyline, maybe then I won't have so many blockage on my writing.

Also a very important note, since it has been years since I last updated, if you have not already, please go back to chapter 3 and read the last part of the chapter. I changed the ending to it.

P.S. this chapter is for Wonderwomanbatmanfan, for reminding me to not give up on the story. Thanks to her, we have a chapter after soo long.

P.S.S. I didn't post it up sooner because of exams last week, sorry. Anyways because it was sitting for a week, I did cut out certain things I thought was more fitful for the next chapter, therefore this chapter will be shorter that it previously was before.

I will try harder to update more from now on.

Chapter 4

"Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity" I bowed to my newest boss, a sweet man with ash blonde and one of the nicest smiles any women have ever seen. Walking out of the restaurant refreshed and at the moment I won't be worried over how I am going to pay for my share of rent.

I know that I am being stubborn, I can always ask my parents, but that was the whole thing about going out into the world and being independent. 'Plus I did not want to prove them right about my career' too proud to do that. I walked away feeling better than before and somehow the air became fresher. "You can do it Serena!" I encouraged myself as I continued walking down the sidewalk.

This means a party tonight, Raye, Amy, and Lita will be so proud. "What should I get?" I turned to look at the shops on the side as I continued walking, "Or Lita will just whip up something like she usually does" it not like they eat anything that I make anyways.

"Guys, guess whaaat?" I singed the moment I got into the apartment, kicking my shoes off and running into the living room where all the girls were sitting. "Let's party in celebration of me getting a job." I ran and popped myself onto the couch next to Amy and Lita, "what's going on?" all three girls looked distracted and focusing on something else "Raye?...what's going on?"

"Well, I got the job…and my hot boss kissed me..eep" she shrieked, excitement swirling on her face, "I think he likes me" she slightly jumped from where she is, "girls let's celebrate by all going out tonight?" she said while getting up from where she is and walking towards her room.

I was disappointed a bit; I really just wanted to spend my time with the girls in with a romantic movie and some of Lita's home cooking. I have been extremely tired for the past few days too, emotionally and physically drained from everything that is going on with me, I feel like I just want to eat and then to sleep, I am still nursing my bruised forehead, can't be walking out with this thing on.

"Well beautifuls, I am just going to retire, maybe we can celebrate when I have my paycheck" I told them also getting off the couch, not to my room though, it is to the fridge. 'Ice cream, ice cream, I scream and you scream yeah!' or something like that, I really don't remember how it goes.

"Aw, Serena, you have to go with us"

"No"

"Please?"

"No"

"My treat?" she begged

Tempting "No" I really need to get my acts together, or else my parents will drag my sorry ass back home and be stuck in that place doing that job, which I don't understand and like. I hate business, everything about it. Besides I need to save, I have been living off of my savings, which is going dry pretty soon.

"Serena"

I turned around to see the most puppiest eyes staring at me, slight moisture on the corner of her enchanting black pearls. 'She has been practicing' and have gotten really good at it too. Well, I cannot be swayed, I just can't…must stare at something else…no, 'Serena you are better than that, you can do it, don't give in' "Sorry Raye, I really can't afford to go, and I am trying to save money."

I opened the door to the refrigerator and grab my favorite ice cream before going back to sit on the couch. Raye went over to the drawer took out three other spoon and joined her. "What are we watching?" she asked as she handed the other girls spoons.

"Pitch Perfect" I answered, that movie gives me motivation for reaching my dreams, of course my dream was not a waitress, but for now it will do.

"Rise and shine beautifuls!" the curtains were roughly opened to show an array of sunlight pouring in on the three girls still seated in awkward positions on the couch.

"Aah, the lights" I screamed

"My face" Raye complained before hiding her face by shoving it into my side.

"You two have 30 minutes to get ready, eat before going out this door, or risk being late" Lita yelled out, "Amy you can continue sleeping since you are starting at a later time." She winked at her before going to the kitchen to make breakfast.

That woke both of them up pretty quickly, both rushing to get ready or else risk being late on their first days of work.

30 minutes later

Both rushing out, one trying to start her car; the other, trying to run as fast as she could to the bus stop to catch her bus.

After catching her breath she came to the buildings front door leading to the inside of the restaurant. "I am sooo sorry for being late" she said as she bowed down to her boss, a sweet young man with the greatest smile she has ever seen.

"No you are just in time, don't worry" he answered her still beaming his pearly white teeth.

"Thank you" she smiled back at him.

She then went to the designated staff room to change her outfit and get on to her training.

Luna's Shine: one of the top restaurants in the nation, and she was working for it. She quickly put on her apron and started to head out of the staff room, adjusting her clothes and presenting her to her new boss, Andrew.

"Okay, today is very simple, all you really have to do is basic training, there will be no extreme tasks or anything, the older waitresses will take care of it. And remember to ask questions if you do not understand anything." He explained when she came out. He smiled brightly at her before he hushed her over to another waitress.

Serena worked hard, she actually enjoyed what she was doing, and the tips were wonderful, everyone she met was regulars therefore were understanding of her mistakes. Meanwhile it was not the same situation for the black-hair women at the new office working for one of the biggest business tycoon in the world.

Working at the front desk on his office level was intimidating enough, but also because of what transpired the day before caused her to be more wary of what is to come.

But nothing happened.

He came in very fast, and directly into his office without even glancing at her, it was like he was running because of something vile that was emitting from her. It was a sad aching feeling that she was feeling. Thoughts went through her head, 'maybe he did not like the kiss' which was disappointing because she felt a small tingling sensation from it.

"Hi" a tall beautiful blonde walked over to her desk.

"Hi?" she said back, slightly in confusion because she was caught off guard.

"You must be new, because I have not seen you before"

"Yes, I just started today"

"Well, that's nice," sticking her hand out before the bewildered receptionist. "My name is Mina,"

"My name is Raye" she said while taking the hand and shaking it. "Umm, are you also a worker here? I don't think I have seen you around yet." She asked her.

"Oh no," laughing lightly, "I am actually just married to someone who works here." She stared back at the raven hair woman, deciding that she liked her well enough.

"Ah, love" her eyes lit up as she saw someone coming into view from the main entrance. She waved her hands slightly at the two men behind the clear glass door before turning around and waving at the woman behind her.

Two very handsome men walked in, one with light blonde hair and playful green eyes, it danced along with the light that illuminated against it. The other was just as handsome although he held a slight frown on his face, his silver mane cascading down framing his thin face.

Wowzers, she did not like the one with the white silver hair much, he glared at her as their eyes met briefly. It was only briefly. Her eyes glazed back at the tall god standing next to him, and an intense wave of electricity coursed through her as her eyes met his. Something warm stirred underneath her belly and coursed all the way to her heart.

Her face flushed red when his eyes skimmed over hers and then seemly undressed her, she can feel layers of her being peeled away as his eyes gleamed and a slight smirk formed. The predatory gaze struck her, she felt as if she could not move away, she was like a deer and he the wolf.

She quickly averted her eyes from him and shifted her attention back onto her desk. Somehow Shield Tech. just keeps getting weirder for her, and her mind is in jumble right now. And then suddenly a strong chill was sent down her spine as the door to her left opened. She was still standing when she felt a pair of eyes staring at her.

"Is something the matter?" a voice boomed out, although it was not raised, everything else seems to be silent thus further projecting his voice louder than it should. "why is everyone all here?" his gaze was cold and unnerving, which further shivered her.

Mina came over and smiled brightly at him, pulling his arms trying to make him go over to the other two, "we are going to lunch, and you are joining us."

He didn't budge, staring right at the blonde hair who she could feel still staring at her. A low growl could be heard emitting from the tall dark man standing opposite from the others. The green eyes finally shifted his eyes over to the noise and their eyes connecting with each other.

And then he broke off from the stare and turned towards her "Care to join us for your break?" the blonde hair man turns and asks the still standing and still confused women behind the reception desk.

"Huh?"

"I'm Jadeite," he held his hand out for a shake. "And you are?"

"Raye" she replied, taking it and shaking his hands, which she felt shocked her throughout her body, an intense wave of electricity ran from her right hand all the way to the deepest core of her being. Images of two hearts and soul joining together at the most intimate part of life, she trembled slightly before using all her will power to hastily take her hand away from him. "And no thanks, I have plans" and then she sat herself down. Mixture of emotions crossed her heart, if she thought yesterday was electrifying, today was times 100.

"I have lunch planned with a friend" she excused herself. "It is also her first day at work and we are celebrating it with lunch" she cleared up before sitting back down very fast.

"She could join us" jadeite said, also too hastily, and a tone drumming of disappointment.

"Let's go" Darien spoke out finally, and walking out of the office, not glancing back at her, which made her feel a tinged of sadness. The rest followed.

Her eyes starts to brim with salt water that threatened to spill over. Silence was felt throughout the room and loneliness crept over her, of course the boss would not care, he can do whatever he wanted. But she could not help but let the feeling wash over her.
