The beginning
"Hey blondie, where is my coffee?" a rough voice called from across the room. Skyler was really busy with her other clients so i went to give the coffee instead. The diner was really busy in those hours so i thought i'd help her out while im free.
"Oh, what do we have here? Whats ya name Dollface?" said the man. He was in his late forties. His hair was white, his face was as rough as his voice. He had thin mouth and only 1 tooth.
"Arent you too old to flirt with me, old man?" i said and walked away from the table.
"Hey Eva? I need you in the kitchen." Allison called out. She was our manager but she worked with us. My sister, Skyler, often works in the kitchen but i rarely get called there. As i walked over, an old guy turned around and slapped my butt.
"You son of a bitch, touch me again and i'll make sure you never use that hand." i whispered though gripped teeth and walked away.
"That man slapped you again? God, Eva why dont you call the police? It happens everytime you walk past him. How do you stand that?" Skyler reached out and hugged me. We both went to the kitchen to help Allison. As you all already know, Skyler is my sister, she is 2 years younger than me. People say we look the same but we are actually the opposite. She is blond with brown eyes and im a brunette with blue eyes. The only thing we have in common are the dimples.
"The reason why i stand this, little sister, is because he tips a lot. He leaves like 10 bucks every time." i grinned at Skyler's face. She hated being called 'little sister'.
"Come on Eva, just because i am 18 and im younger doesnt mean you get to call me 'little sister'. I mean, come on, thats 2 years!" she giggled and took the burgers.
"Yeah it does!" i yelled after her and laughed.
"You two are adorable." Allison smiled.
"Well you aint that bad as well" i winked to Allison. I was just about to start with the dishes when my phone rang.
"Ah crap" i wiped my hands in my apron.
"Language, young lady" Allison was 15 years older but she still was cool.
"Sorry" i whispered and picked up my phone "hey babe" my boyfriend, Kevin, always enjoyed calling me during my shift. He knew that talking on the phone might get me fired but he didnt care, probably because his father owned the place.
"Kev, i told you i was working why do you keep calling me while i work?" i chuckled.
"I wanted to hear your voice" honestly, his voice was so deep and beautiful that i always get butterflies in my stomach whenever we talk. Probably the reason why i love him, because he always keeps that spark alive.
"But we talked on the phone like 1 hour ago" i answered and smiled to myself knowing what he'd say.
"Well i missed you. What are you doing tonight?" he asked.
"Im not sure, depends when my shift ends, what are you doing tonight?"
"Probably you, depends when your shift ends." he said and you could sense the smile on his lips. I laughed out loud because i didnt really expect him to say that.
"Damn Kevin, i always fail to catch you before making a joke" i said and started playing with my apron.
"Come on, princess, its Valentines day tomorrow, i want to wake up and your eyes to be the first thing i see." i just loved it when he called me princess, i swear i could feel my knees getting weaker.
"I'll think about it, look Kev i really need to go, but i'll see you later ok?"
"Ok, see you later princess" i hung up and went back to the dishes.
The night passed so fast. The diner was full all night and Skyler and i were working our asses out. It was 6 am already and finally we were changing shifts with Carla and Susie.
"God, im so tired" Skyler looked at me and yawned.
"Nooo, dont....yawn" i yawned as well and we both got up in our car. We lived half an hour away from the diner. It was a small house with a porch and attic. There were like 3 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and dining room. The west bedroom was pink covered with One direction posters and it was Skyler's and my bedroom was simple, the walls were in a nice shade of purple and i had classic rock and metal band posters.
"Hey, go shower first, i'll just lay here and close my eyes for....a minute" i told Skyler as i laid down on the sofa in the living room.
"Ok, i wont take long." she answered and got in the bathroom. As soon as she closed the door, she turned on the water. The sound of running water helped me relax even more and i didnt even notice when i fell asleep. Suddenly a loud ring woke me up and i grabbed my phone. I didnt have the number saved so i just picked up.
"Hello, how can i help you?" i asked, my voice still rough from sleep.
"Eva Herondale? This is sheriff Harper. Im calling because i need to ask you a few questions about Kevin Jackson's death."
