Fated (To Be Yours), Anaya Phoenix [best free ereader .txt] 📗

was going to be a relatively good day. The night, however, was a different story.


Thomas waited until night had come to go out; he busied himself with watching TV and playing the Wii. He dressed in black skinny jeans, not really his style but fashionable, and a white t-shirt. He tousled his black hair with water and out his wallet and phone in his back pockets. He was almost too giddy when he got on the bike but he managed to calm his emotions by the time he got to McFurly’s. he stepped in and was once again cheered by the drinkers who had already had their fair share but would continue to drink. He walked directly to the bar and sat down. today she was jut plain. She had on jeans that fit her like a second skin, a black tank top, and black converse. Nothing extra at all, even her hair was in a ponytail. She turned to him and smiled softly,
“What can I get you?” she asked softly, already taking out a glass.
“Rum and coke.” He answered and she nodded once. Her skilled hands worked for his drink for about a total of 10 seconds and gave it to him with a red napkin.
“Anything else?” she asked, looking behind him once.
“Uh no.” he said, confused, until he felt the female hand land on his shoulder.
“Can I get a sex on the beach?” the female asked, rubbing her boobs on the back of his head.
“Sure.” Molly said, no emotion in her voice at all. She fixed the girl her drink, put a little umbrella in it, then gave it to her.
“OK, I’ll take the shift now.” Sarah said, coming around and passing Molly the apron.
“Thanks,” Molly said tying the apron around her neck “see ya around Tommy.” She muttered and went to the other side.
“What the hell?” he muttered under his breath and Sarah shrugged.
“She asked to work the food tonight, she just started working so I wanted to make it easier for her.” She explained but he heard none of it, only thing that he actual made sense of was the fact that his mate had walked away from him. Again!
“Tell her to come back to the bar.” He growled, nearly shattering the glass in his hand.
“I’m sorry, I can’t do that. It’s her choice whether or not she wants to work on this side. And if she tells me no, I’ll be conflicted. My wolf gets agitated when I get conflicted and then there’s no more miss nice one.” Sarah rambled and he huffed. She was right, as mate to the alpha Molly was alpha of the females.
“Fine, I’ll do it.” He grumbled and shot from the seat, bumping the girl back. He strolled over to the other side, which was equally packed, and up to the countertop.
“What can I get-“Molly started cheerily, but her voice trailed off when she saw him. No doubt his eyes were amber now, he was ticked.
“Oh, you were hungry too?” she asked, bemused, cocking her head to the side.
“I am hungry, but I don’t think any of this food will fill my type of hunger.” He purred to her, putting his hands on the counter top and resting on them. He saw her visibly swallow and smelled her arousal lift up to his nose.
“Well then, maybe your friend over there could help you with that. Sadly I only serve the regular food.” Molly sniped back and leaned back against the counter that served as a wall.
“I think you would be capable of helping me.” He quipped back, taking a seat, enjoying their banter.
“See, that isn’t my job. I just serve the food; it’s your decision on whether or not you want to eat it. So tell me, Tommy,” she leaned forward, lowering her eyes to his, her lips so close “would you eat what I gave you?” she asked huskily. He bit back his groan and his eyes flew down to her pretty pink, luscious lips.
“No answer huh?” she sighed and licked her lips. She pulled herself up.
“So I take that as a no you don’t want food?” she asked lightly and he chuckled. She smiled, a real smile, and shook her head.
“I have customers’, you don’t want anything?” she said quickly and pushed herself off the counter.
“Uhm two chili cheese dogs.” He said quickly and she raised an eyebrow.
“Those are huge, how much can you eat?” she asked, writing it down nonetheless, looking at him dubiously.
“If you would’ve let me finish I would’ve said later, so that we could eat it together.” She instantly stopped writing and looked at him.
“Honest intentions, honestly, scouts honor.” He said, raising his hand.
“You weren’t even a scout.” She said, giving one short bark of laughter. She bit her lip and looked at him.
“OK, yeah. I’ll eat with you after my shift is over. As long as it’s completely honest intentions.” She said, pointing the cap at him with every word. He smiled, and nodded once. She smiled softly, ripped the receipt off and tucked it in her apron pocket.
“For later.” She sighed and walked away, working the rest of the counter top. Chapter 4

The rest of the night he was considerably sweet, he stayed at the counter and bantered with her. He laughed with the others and drunk only beers. She was generally looked forward to their chili cheese dogs. Right before the closed down the kitchen she placed the order and by the time she was off for the day they were ready. She sat down next to him and tucked away a few of the strands that had escaped.
“Had fun?” he asked cheerily and she swatted him on the arm. Huffing she sat down next to him and let her feet relax. The jukebox was still going, but thank fully it was set on a low volume.
“Loads, but I’m starved.” She said and picked up her chili cheese dog. The messiest food known to mankind. There was an art to eating it though. You had to tilt the end of the chili dog upwards ever so slightly so none of it fell off. They both looked at each other and smiled secretly. This was their food, what they always asked for when his parents’ asked what they wanted. So very carefully they interlinked arms so that they each face the others’ dog. They shot each other a look before taking a bite and unlacing their arms. They chewed five times, swallowed then looked to each other.
“Chili cheese chooses me!” they both yelled at the same time then laughed wildly when Sarah and the others shot them a wild look.
“I win.” She said and took a bite of her dog, ignoring the taste of him and only focusing on the chili.
“Like hell you do.” He said and took a bite of his dog. They narrowed their eyes on each other, and that’s what started the messiest eating contest they had ever had. They both ended with chili coating their cheeks puffed to capacity. Sarah huffed and strode to them with a broom in her hand.
“Any particular reason you two are acting like children?” Molly chewed down her food and swallowed.
“Because being an adult is too hard I, for one, miss nap times and snacks.” She said and Thomas finally finished his food.
“How on earth did you do that?” he asked his black eyes wide with amazement and wonder.
“I’ve learned to eat things faster.” She said simply, getting off that topic. She picked up her napkin and wiped the chili from around her mouth. Thomas, however, tried to lick it off. She sighed and wiped his face.
“You’re a bad example for me.” She said half heartedly and stood up.
“Well Sarah, I’m off. See ya tomorrow.” She called, after getting her bag from the back, from the door.
“Well, wait. Are you working the food or the bar tomorrow?” Thomas asked, standing up from his seat. She smiled sweetly at him.
“It’s a surprise doll, see ya tomorrow.” She said and winked. Thomas stood there, grasping his heart.
“What’s the matter, chili dog giving you indigestion?” Sarah asked, sweeping the not so dirty floor.
“No, she hasn’t called me doll since we were 9.” He said, looking after the door and feeling a piece of his broken heart being rebuilt.


It was supposed to be a scorcher that day, the news had said, and that if you were to take a step outside you’d better be prepared. Sighing she pulled on a black strapless maxi dress and put her hair in a messy bun on top of her head. She coated herself with a light spray of cold water, grabbed her bag, and stepped outside. Her lips instantly dried from the heat. She sped to her bike and begged for it to turn on. As soon as it revved she put her foot on the stirrups and drove off. The air felt good, as humid as it was, on her partially wet skin and she lavished in it. She pulled up to McFurly’s and ran inside; where everybody looked at her as if she was crazy.
“It’s fucking hot out there; you’d all better be surprised I just didn’t wear a bra and panties.” She mumbled, shaking her head and walking behind the counter. Sarah smiled and gave the man in front of her an ice tea.
“Thank the good lord for the air conditioner or I would’ve gone crazy a long time ago.” She told her and together they laughed. The day slugged on, they tried to make it as active as possible. But when you’re surrounded by hot, easily angered, cranky people it’s not exactly easy. When the night came, though, it was like the world was completely different. The temperature came down considerably and everyone, it seemed like; who inhabited the town was there. She wasn’t working the bar today though, she was one of the waitresses, and she didn’t want to see another slag with her arms draped around Tommy. She didn’t want to be angered. She made multiple trips to and from the bar, each time never seeing Thomas and her heart sank a little. Until the door opened and everyone cheered. Tommy’s here now you little baby, her mind told her and she smiled softly. He caught her before she could go off with her next tray of drinks.
“You’re not working the counter tonight?” he asked, confusion in his eyes.
“Ah, no. I wanted a little bit of variety in the work place.” She told him and backed away. The jukebox was really playing tonight. She knew all of the songs and she sung them in her head. Her eyes widened when a song came on before she could escape his view and she shook her head.
“No, no, no. Not doing it.” She said and tried to run away but with a tray of drinks it’s hard to do. He grabbed her arm gently and pulled her to the counter top. Everyone’s attention flew to them and she blushed fiercely. She threw him a scathing glare and tried to get down but he, once again, sucked her in by placing a hand on her hip.
“When I wake up, yeah I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be the man who wakes up
