Chapter 1
The Restaurant
Business was slow this time of the evening. It was just after lunch and just before the dinner rush. Edward stood behind the counter and read through the newspaper just passing time. It wouldn’t be long before the two young ladies would come in to eat, it was always a pleasure to see them. They were both pleasing to the eye, but one caught his eye more so than the other, her name was Elana. Her friend Darcey, was not bad looking, but it was Elana that caught his eye. They came to the restaurant so much that he and Winston his associate even knew their voices over the phone when they called for takeout.
Just like clock work they pulled up in front of the restaurant. The first things he saw emerge from the driver’s side of the car were a pair of tan slender legs and a pair of brown slender legs from the passage’s side. If one did not ask, you would assume that they were sisters. Edward could hear their laughter as they entered in the door. “And just what are you two ladies up to this evening,” “Nothing yet” Darcey answered. “How are you this afternoon”, Elana asked Edward. “Some old thing, Work, sleep, work,” Edward replied? Edward sat them across from the cashier area that way, he could appear to be working, yet keep his eye on Elana. Just then Winston came from the office and walked over to the table where Darcey and Elana sat. “It is always a pleasure to see you two come in, so what will you two be eating tonight?”. Elana smiled, “Well, it all depends on how hungry we are.” “ Just let me know when you’re ready?”. Winston walked over to the cashier counter and stood by Edward. “ Both would bring in good money,” Winston said to Edward in Mandarin. “That may be true, but one I have other plans for,” Edward answered.
Winston reached behind him for the plum wine and begins to pour two glasses, still speaking in Mandarin, “ well, tonight is as good a night as any, tonight we both will be busy!”. Winston handed Edward one of the glasses, “let’s get this show on the road.” Edward and Winston both walked over to the table where the two ladies sat. Edward handed Elana her glass of wine as Winston handed Darcey hers, “Here’s a glass of wine to get you started.” Edward just smiled and handed Elana her glass.
The wine flowed freely during the dinner, Edward could see that after two glasses Elana had reached her limit and Darcey was on her third. Winston was about to pour more wine when Elana announced that she had reached her limit and that she was the driver, “don’t worry Edward will see that you get home and I’ll see that Darcey gets home.” “Well, in that case keep it coming” Darcey laughed. Elana smiled at Edward and motioned for him to come over to the table. “Edward, it looked like Winston has made you my designated drive, in which case, I need to get home.” “Don’t’ do anything that I wouldn’t do, and if you do, do it right?”, Darcey said “I’ll call you later, girl.” Edward offered his hand to Elana and helped her up it had been a long time since a man had offered his hand. The two walked out a side to the parking lot it was a warm summer night customers were begin to arrive, but Edward would not be greeting them tonight nor would Winston.
