Chapter 8

Dedicated to MrFiredevil

Dušica's P.O.V.

"Miss, Miss wake up!" someone said and shook my body.

I moved on other side and mumbled "Just five more minutes!"

"But Miss, you said to wake you up at eleven and half, and it's now!"

"Ugh! Fine" I said and finally opened my eyes.

The girl that woke me up was Vanessa. She has long blue hair and brown eyes. She smiled softly at me and stood up. I just figured out she was kneeling in front of my bed. I got up as well.

"Thank you, Vanessa and sorry for yelling at you. I am just not a morning person, that's all. Even thought it's almost noon" I said and rolled my eyes.

"It's okay Miss" she said and chuckled.

She excused herself and left me alone. I decided to take one long bath before going out. I was planing on going at mom's work to meet the waitress girl. Is it real I still don't know her name? Anyway, I want to wish her good luck and then I can go to pick up Mia.

I grabbed some new underwear and got into the bathroom. I striped down and jumped into jacuzzi. It was so relaxing and I almost fell asleep. Again.

The thing about time zones is really crazy. I'll probably need around six days. But knowing myself and how much I love sleeping, I think I'll need more then just a single week.

I walked out of jacuzzi and took short shower, just to wash soap of myself.

When I walked out I dried myself, wear underwear and brushed my teeth. After that, I dried and brushed my hair as well.

I literally jumped in my closet and watched closely what to wear today. I decide to let my hair fall freely.

I picked some black ripped jeans and white shirt which reach my belly button. Part of my six pack I've been working for so long will be visible and I smirked at thought of it.

When I saw what kind of shirt it is I knew what I needed to do. I walked over place where my make up was and took look at my bare body in all wall mirror in front of me. I sighed and then I took powder and put it gently on place it need to be placed. It looked fine now but I still need to take some other stuff to make it totally invisible. I don't usually put make up on my face, but this is my every day routine. I'll do everything not to let it be visible. I promised my mom that a long time ago.

When I finished I looked up at big mirror and it was perfect. Like everything is normal, even though it's anything but that. I sighed once again and took clothes that was now laying on floor.

I dressed up and went to wall that had sunglasses all over it. I took simple RayBan and put it on hem of my shirt. I took one plaid shirt and decide to tie it around my waist.

All I need now, is to see what shoes should I pick. I looked around at place with shoes and after few minutes decided of black high heels.

Now, final touch, perfume. I walked towards perfume part of closet and picked Chanel No.5. My favourite. I made sure I put enough of it so people could smell it after I walk pass them. I just liked it.

I walked in my room and saw it's already 1pm. I have been peppering myself for hour and half!

"Fuck!" I cursed out loud. Our building is for about 30 minutes driving away and considering we are in New York and traffic here is awful I'll need much more. I sighed because I know mom won't keep girl so long there. Ugh!

But then I remembered, I'll just take motorcycle and avoid traffic.

But If I want to ride it, I should as well wear leather jacked. If I don't, maybe I'll get sick and mom will be pissed. But I don't care about my health so screw it.

I took my hand watch, phone and wallet then headed downstairs. I saw Natasha waiting for me by the door smiling warmly.

"Hey, Nath" I said

"Hello Miss, car is waiting for you!" she said.

"Umm, I will take motorcycle, you know how awful traffic is and if I go with car there is no way I will make it on time"

"Okay" she started "I'll inform Willy.''

She started walking away when she stopped and turned around to face me "Which one do you want?"

"You know which is my fave" I answered and smiled, she nodded and left.

After few minutes waiting outside, Willy come with my baby.

Oh how much I missed it! I smiled widely when I saw it. Damn it's so beautiful! It's black custom made Honda. It's made just like I wanted it. It only can be (un)locked with my fingerprint and one card that always stays at home so staff can unlocked it when i need it because I don't need card.

Willy smiled widely then got up and handed me my black helmet

"Here" he said "drive safe"

"I will, don't worry"

Willy is really a good man. He is thirty years old but he looked very handsome. Musculature body, dark brown hair and blue eyes. He is really cute guy. I looked at him like my big brother. I could always talk with him about anything and he would not tell anyone. He was very happy when I saw him yesterday.

I lifted my hair up and put helmet on. I got up on motorcycle and started the engine. It started vibrating and sound engine made was perfect. Oh god, this feeling! I think I'm in love. I smirked and pull gas. Sound just started getting stronger which I adore. I started driving and when I was about to go through gate of mansion I lifted it up on its last wheel.

I drove for awhile and stopped at red light, everyone was staring at me, but I didn't give a fuck to be honest.

Soon I was in front of our building. I locked my baby and walked in like I own the place, well actually I do but never mind. People here didn't know that I am daughter of their bosses. Only my family and people who work in mansion knew that.

"Excuse me, Miss." said voice behind me, I turned around to face her and she smiled at me "Can I help you?"

"Umm, I need to see Mrs. Nikolić please" I asked kindly.

"That's impossible right now, she has meeting with new girl"

"I know" I said smiling and then walked away from her to elevator.

She yelled for me but I didn't care. I put button for highest floor and waited patiently.

Just when I came there mom was shaking hands with waitress girl while she thanked my mom. I guess she got a job. She looked at me and smiled.

"I didn't know you will come honey" mom said.

"I just wanted to wish her good luck before she starts the job" I informed and kissed mom's cheek.

"Well to be honest, I am impressed by her, she is going to be my personal assistant!" mom said excitedly. I looked at girl and saw her blushing, she looked so cute.

"That's great!"

At that moment, girl I met down before came in.

"Mrs. Nikolić, I am so sorry if she bugged you, I couldn't stop her from coming here" she said while trying to catch her breath.

I looked at mom, who was trying so hard not to laugh, I just chuckled

"It's okay Amanda, you should always let this girl here. Even if I have appointment or something" mom said kindly.

Girl looked so confused, she looked at me and mom back and forth. She just nodded and turned around to leave us.

Just before she walked in elevator mom yelled after her "Make sure to watch gala tomorrow night!"

I looked at mom and we burst out laughing. I saw that waitress girl was confused and that made me laugh even more.

"Anyway, I'm going yo steal her from you mom. We need to celebrate this." I said and took girls hand. Mom nodded and turned around to walk to her desk. Did I mentioned that this whole floor is her office?

"Have fun girls" she said "And please, Dušica don't scare the poor girl away!"

I put hand on my chest pretending like I was hurt.

"I don't bite mom!"

And with that said we walked in the elevator. When elevator's door closed, girl hugged me tightly. I was shocked at first but I hugged her back eventually. Then she started crying.

"Hey, hey why are you crying?" I asked when I pulled away.

"Thank you" was all she managed to say.

I smiled lightly and with my thumbs cleared her tears, then kissed her cheeks and nose which mede her giggle. Aww it sounds so cute.

"There is no reason to thank me" I said "You deserve good job. You deserve to be happy!"

She smiled again and said "I am happy" then she looked at my eyes ''because of you"

This made me smile as well. Elevator stopped on first floor and we walked out.

"Let's go grab a coffee" I said while we walked through  the front door. "I want to know you better, I mean I don't even know your name!"

She chuckled and stopped walking, I stopped as well and looked at her confused.

"I'm sorry" she said and stuck her hand out for me to shake it "I'm Anabelle Jones"

I laughed a little because how cute she is and shook her hand.

"I'm glad to meet you, I'm Dušica Nikolić" I smiled while introducing myself "Now what about that coffee?"

She looked at her watch and sighed "I have one hour before I need to go home to my sister"

Great, now is 1:20pm and I'll drive her home and I have time to go for Mia and not be late.

"Great! Come on!" I lead her to my motorcycle. She looked at it in awe. Some boys were around it as well.

"Damn, look at this!" one of them said.

"This is a monster" other one added.

Other two just looked at it in awe, just like Anabelle. I cleared my throat and they looked at me.

"Would you mind moving a little" I asked them kindly.

They all looked at me from head to toe, they were checking me out. Idiots!

One of them smirked. "And why would we do it babe"

Babe? Eww! You wish!

"Because I would really want to come to my motorcycle" I said and walked pass him and sat on this beast.

"Anabelle, come on!" I said and handed her my other helmet while putting my on.

"You drive this?" she asked confused as well.

"Yeah, come on" I motioned for her to sit behind me. She put her helmet on and sat behind me.

I put my finger for it to recognize me, and at that moment that vibrating and perfect sound started.

Guys were looking at me with wide eyes and their mouths were wide opened.

"Close your mouths boys!" I said before driving away.

Anabelle's arms were around my waist holding me tightly. We drove for five minutes before standing in front of my favourite cafe. It was small but nice and they had best coffees ever uh and cookies.

I let Anabelle got up first when she said "I swear this is the best experience I have ever had!"

I smiled at her and leaded her to big wooden door. I opened it for her and we walked in. There weren't a lot of people so we took table next to the window.

When we sat down she looked at me "I didn't know you are coming to places like this"

I frowned "Why's that?"

"You know, you are rich you can go wherever you want so it's little weird you are coming at place like this" she said and looked around.

I sighed "I am just person, like anyone else. And this place calms me, it is beautiful in here and people are nice" she smiled at me.

At that waitress Mary come. She looked at me for awhile but didn't say anything.

"Hey Mary" I said with British accent she knew too well. I wondered if she remembers me, it was two years after all.

She looked at me with wide eyes "Oh my god Dušica!" she screamed and hugged me tightly.

From her crying and screaming everyone of employed  came running and hugging me. I chuckled but my eyes got teary.

"Why you didn't come here!?"

"It's been so long!" someone added.

"And you are all grown up!"

"I wasn't here at all, I was in England for this two years. I didn't want to leave her!" I said and looked down.

"Aww baby it's okay!" they all said and hugged me once again. They always make me giggle.

"Let's celebrate this!" someone said excitedly. They all cheered and agreed then went in kitchen and walked with a big cake!

"That's my favourite!" I gasped.

"It's like I knew you was coming, we stopped making it two years ago, but today something like pushed me to make it" said chief.

I smiled at him and we all ate cake together and talked a little before they excused their selves and left us.

"When did you come?" asked Mary.

Mary is the girl who is just two years older than me. She worked here since she was fifteen because her mom worked here so boss let Mary too. She is really gorgeous girl with her perfect smile and blue hair. And she confirmed to me that she has crush on me since day one.

"Yesterday" I said and smiled widely which made her smile as well.

"I'll get you your usual okay?" She asked.

"You still remember?" I asked shocked.

"Of course I do, silly" she said and pecked my cheek. She turned to Anabelle who was so confused.

"What would you like?"  She asked kindly.

"Just a cup of coffee. Americano" Anabelle answered simply. Mary nodded and left.

"What was that?" she asked when Mary left.

"They are like family to me. This is really a long story" I said and laughed a little.

"It's okay, we have forty more minutes" she smiled at me.

I sighed then nodded.

"Well, I'm originally from Serbia, I was born there as well as my dad but my grandparents are from Montenegro, county next to Serbia by the way. After six years living there we decided to move in London. We lived there since then." I don't even know why am I telling her all this, but she's looking at me all the time while listening carefully so I decided to keep talking "Because my mom is from here and her parents live here, I used to come here every summer and winter you know. Basically every holiday " at that moment Mary came with two mugs of coffee for Anabelle and me, she winked at me and walked back just to come again with a tray with my "usual" on it.

I smiled widely when I saw it.

"Here you go, your usual" she said with little giggle. I smiled and thanked her.

"You still love to eat like pig I see" she said and laughed. I looked at her pretending to be hurt.

"Pigs are cute" Anabelle stated and laughed as well while looking at my tray. Now they both were laughing at me!

"Hey, hey" I said "Maybe I eat like a pig, but I still have six pack!" I pointed at my stomach.

"True!" they both said in unison.

"See'' I said and rolled my eyes.

"By the way, have anyone told you how much you have changed since last time I saw you? You are no more that little girl I first time saw. And you are more beautiful than ever" what she said, made me blush. She chuckled and left.

"Are you really going to eat all that?" asked Anabelle.

"Nah, I wanted to share with you" I said and smiled "You have to try this cake, and this ice cream and this cookies and... Well all of this" I finished while pointing every thing I said. She started laughing and shaking her head.

"Come on!" I said and took one cookie "Open up!"

"Oh, now you are going to feed me like a little baby!?" she asked.

"Yeah, because it's the only way. Now shut up" she smiled and opened her mouth.

I put cookie in it and when she ate it she was shocked "This is so good!"

"I know right!" I said and took one for myself.

We ate for awhile when she asked me to continue my story. I nodded

"Okay, but where was I?"

"You talked about how you were spending you summers and winters here" she said and I smiled. She really was listening I thought.

"So, four years ago, I was walking around and came to this place. I was only thirteen then so I walked in and asked exactly for this what we are eating now. My mom called me to see where am I, because it was staring to get late. I told her and she said she will come to pick me up soon. I started eating and I was amazed how good food here is. At that moment I heard someone yelling. Old boss was yelling at Mary, she got fired. But that wasn't enough, he slapped her too." by now I started shaking and clenching my fist.

It's really hard for me to talk about abusing especially about women who was through something like that. Even though this was just slap, it still make me sick. I hate it! I hate when men do something to hurt a woman. She reached for my hand and squeezed it gently.

She gave me small smile and I couldn't help but smile back.

I took a deep breath and continued.

"She was just fifteen for God's shake! I immediately stood up from chair even though I was two years younger. I screamed at man telling him to not touch her and he was like Oh and what would you do about it little bitch?" Anabelle and me both chuckled when I mimicked him.

"But little did he know that my mom saw and hear everything. She cleared her throat and he froze when he saw her. You know my mom can be pretty scary if she wants!" I said and again we both laughed.

"When I saw her I smiled and said "Mom I want to buy this coffee shop" mom just smiled, because she saw everything that happened and said "Of course honey", and for about two days later we owned this" I said motioning with my hands around me.

"But I didn't want it to be mine, I knew someone who would be better with this and I gave it to Mary. Her mom worked here as well. I let whole team stay on their job and we didn't change anything. Since then, every time I was here I came every day and just order my "usual" we become family" I finished and smiled.

"Wow" was all she could say "Wow, just wow!" nah, I was wrong she said something else too (laugh).

"You know, I always used to hate rich people before, I thought they are just snobbish and heartless, but you and your family proved me wrong. You are so caring and down to earth, I have never meet anyone like you" this made me blush. Ugh!

"Can I ask you something?" she broke comfortable silence.

"You already did" I said jokingly. She rolled her eyes and I laughed. "Sure, ask!"

"Umm... Uhh, what did you mean when you said you couldn't left her?" I froze. "Is that your girlfriend?"

I just shook my head and whispered "No, but I am not ready to talk about it so please..."

"It's okay, sorry..." she said and I nodded.

I can't talk about it, I am not ready, I will never be ready. I didn't even talk about it with my parents or even Mia.

It passed some time and we didn't talk.

"By the way, why the girl who work for your mom acted like that today?" she asked referring to Amanda.

I laughed So loud "Oh my God, you don't know!"

"Know what?" she asked. Confusion written all over her face.

"My family, some close friend, people who work in mansion, people who work here and obviously you" I said "are the only people who know my real identity."

"W-What? H-How is that possible" she stuttered.

"My parents gave everything not to show me to paparazzi, they wanted me to have normal childhood, without media following my every step. I wanted to have people who love me because of my personality and not because of my money!"

"Wow, I didn't know that"

"But it's going to change tomorrow at gala, they are going to introduce me to everyone like their daughter, future CEO of Nikolić and Adams empire. You should watch it tomorrow, it's going to be so much fun" I said.

"I totally will!" she said I can tell she is excited.

"I'm so going to kick their asses there" I said and chuckled.

"What do you mean?" she frowned.

Immediately song of Justin Bieber played in my mind. I shook my head to make it go away.

"Nothing, you'll see it yourself"

We talked a bit more, she talked about her sister Nina, her parents, her school and other things.

Then she said "I should leave!"

"Come on, I'll take you home" I offered. She didn't want at first but I am good at convincing people.

"Would you wait outside for me, just a second? " I asked.

She nodded and left. I walked over to Mary who was writing something "Babe, here" I said and handed her the money.

She looked at me like I'm a crazy person "Seriously, you still want to pay? I told you multiple times that I won't take money from you"

"You know how much I hate it when you do that"

"You are so stubborn" she said and sighed.

"Okay, whatever. Do you have a big box of your delicious cookies for me?" I asked giving her my best puppy dog eyes.

"Of course!" she said and smiled.

"Give me two, pleeeeeeease!?"

She smiled "I don't know why you have to be so cute' then she went in kitchen and come back with two big boxes of them.

I high five myself mentally. I smiled when she gave them to me and then I hugged her, secretly putting money in her back pocket.

I pulled away and kissed her cheeks.

"I really missed you" she said and kissed my nose which made me giggle.

"I missed you too! See you soon"

"Bye" she said and waved.

I exited and saw Anabelle standing next to my motorcycle looking at me weirdly.

"What?" I asked her confused.

She pointed at boxes in my hands and started laughing "You are really a pig, you know that right!?"

I rolled my eyes at her "Yes, I know, but this is not all for me" I said and gave her one box "This is for your sister" I said and smiled. "And other one is of course for me!"

"Oh" she said and looked at me "thank you, you shouldn't have done this"

"It's nothing" I waved it off.

"Come on, let's go take you home"

I sat and she sat behind me while holding my waist tightly. I smiled and started driving. She told me where to go and we came there for ten minutes.

"Would you like to come inside and meet her?" she asked once she jumped off motorcycle.

I looked at my watch and cursed mentally "I'm sorry, I can't. I have to meet some friends and they are probably waiting already" I said.

I can already see Mia talking about how I am late, if I don't hurry. I still have ten minutes before her period ends.

"It's okay " she said and smiled, I could see she was sad.

"Maybe next time?" I asked, I really want to meet her.

"Sure" she said and kissed my cheek, she blushed when she realized what she had done and I just smiled. "See you" she said and run to her house. I shake my head and smiled.

I took my phone from pocket and saw I had five messages from Mia. I rolled my eyes and opened it.

~ Can't wait! ~1pm

~ I am bored, can't this time passed faster? ~ 1:10pm

I couldn't help but laugh.

~ LAST CLASS! FINALLY! ~  2:40pm

~ Why are you ignoring me? DON'T YOU DARE FORGET ME! ~ 2:50pm

~ 20 more minutes! ~ 3:05

Oh god it was sent five minutes ago! I need 20 minutes to get there, I need to hurry. I am soooo dead if I am late! But I have cookies it will make things better. Right?

I remembered that my motorcycle can play music. God, I can't live without music, so I decide to play something. It's so good when the sound of engine and music are mixed. Ah I'm definitely in love.

I speeded down the road avoiding traffic and hoping I'll get there on time or I'll be dead before anyone know my real identity.

A/N: Have fun reading babesss. Tomorrow will be next update.
