Chapter 3: Side Effects

 

Despite of all the hot female customers in his café, Jin's eyes kept wandering outside their window to the empty parking space across the street. His eyebrows bunched up together in dismay as a car drove in and park into the empty space. It was a red Lexus, not the car he was expecting.

 

“Hey Jin, check for table 2.” A girl with curly long blond hair called out from the other side of the café. She frowned when he stood still, as if in a trace, “Jin?”

 

“I know she's late all the time, but she's never this late.” Jin started to fumble with the recipes, restacking them over and over.

 

“Is that it?” The blond asked, looking at one of the bills on the cash register.

 

“No. Her car is a navy blue Toyota Matrix. That one is a red Lexus.” Jin answered, still looking out the window.

 

She rolled her eyes and whacked him on the head with the recipe pad. “OW!” Jin snapped out of his trance and looked over at the girl, “Why'd you hit me?”

 

“Is this the bill for table 2?” She waved it in front of his face.

 

Jin grabbed the recipe, “Oh, uh, yeah. Sorry Jen.” Even as he is checking the bill, his eyes still darted between the window and the bill.

 

Jennifer sighed, “Jin, do you need a break or something? I can take over if you want.” Jin shook his head and continued checking the bill. She sighed again, “Did you try calling her? Why don't you just go over to her house and check on her. Maybe she is so sick that she can't get out of bed.”

 

Jin's eyes widen with worry, “You think? Why didn't I think of that! She could be dying!” He hastily pulled off his apron and started for the door. All the girls started frowning at the fact that their only reason to be here is leaving.

 

Voom!

 

Jin and Jennifer looked outside to see a motorcycle stop right outside the door. There were two people on it. One was a guy with silver hair, red leather jacket, and black leather pants. The other person was someone that they were familiar with. After the person got off, the two had a short conversation and the guy drove off with the motorcycle after that. The person started to walk into the café.

 

“Celene!” Jin smiled in relieve.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Stop right here.” Celene said and poked Dante with her index finger. She didn't want to have too much body contact with him.

 

Dante stopped the bike right in front of a café. “Blue Moon.” He looked at it and commented, “You work here?”

 

“From this moment on…” Celene got of the bike and pointed a finger at his face. “I don't know you, and you don't know me. We've never met before. Don't talk to me, don't be anywhere within 10 miles of me, don't come here, don't mention my name. No more connection between you and me what so ever!” She faked a sweet smile. “That is all, bye bye.”

 

“By…” Dante started to say bye but Celene cut him off.

 

“Uh, uh, uh! Shhh!” Celene put a finger to her lips as if to silence him. She smiled again and walked in to the café. Dante smiled and shook his head. He roared the engine once and rode off.

 

“Celene!”

 

Celene looked up to find Jin running up to her. She started to smile and say hi when he grabbed her shoulder all of a sudden. “Where have you been the last 3 days? You didn't call or anything and the car pound called and said that they found your car in the forest…”

 

“So that's where it went.” Celene mumbled to herself. Jin gave her a weird stare, but Celene ignored it. “It's a long, long story. You wouldn't even believe it if I told you.”

 

Jin kept pressing on, “Come on, Celene! You know I'm not gonna just let you off like that.”

 

Celene could feel all eyes turn on her as she walked into the café, but she ignored it. She's pretty used to it by now. Those girls come to the café everyday just to see Jin, he was their prince charming. Celene didn't really care as long as they get business, but apparently, the girls hated her. “No, seriously, Jin. You are so not gonna believe it.” She put down her bag and grabbed her apron. She started checking the recipes.

 

He put his hand on top of hers to stop her from ignoring him. “No, serious, Celene. Try me.” Celene could feel herself shrinking away in his stern gaze.

 

She was just about to say something when the female customers started calling for Jin, “Jin! Could you take care of this bill for me?” “Yeah! I need another coffee!” “Me too!” Orders for Jin could be heard all over the café, but he stood unmoving.

 

Celene brushed his hand off of hers and continued to work, “They're waiting for their prince charming.” Celene joked as the girls continued to call out for Jin. Jin smiled. He could never stay mad at Celene, it is simply impossible.

 

Jin started to walk around the cash register, “You're not off the hook, you know.” He commented and went to take care of the orders.

 

“Un.” Celene nodded her head and went inside the storage room. She looked around the room and shook her head, “This is what happens when I take a few days off.” There were boxes all over the floor. New orders were all laid out, as for the old orders, they haven't been touched since she had left. She picked up a box and looked inside. “Coffee beans.” She confirmed and looked up to the highest shelf, where all the other coffee beans were put. With one hand, she pushed the box up and slipped it into the empty spot.

 

“There.” She smiled with content. Usually, she would need Jin to help her with these boxes, but she's not the same person she was three days ago.

(Last night…)

 

“Are you sure you don't want to take a shower or something?” Dante wrinkled his nose. “It's starting to smell.” Dante pointed down the hall towards the bathroom.

 

“Hell no!” Celene said and took a step back away from Dante. “You seriously think that I'm going to take a shower when you are in the same building?” She looked around the room. She was in such a rush to leave earlier that she hadn't really noticed how this place looks. All the furniture in the room looked old and abused. A lot of them were duck taped back together.

 

Dante ran a hand through his hair and sat down on the couch, “You didn't seem to care when we were on the bike.” He plopped his feet down on the coffee table. “You were holding me so tight that I was having trouble breathing.”

 

“HEY!” Celene yelled as she blushed. “IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE YOU WERE DRIVING 80 MPH!”

 

“Hey, it wasn't like I was gonna hit anyone.” Dante said defensively. “That's how fast you were driving the other night when you hit that demon.” Then he smirked and added, “Twice.”

 

“ATLEAST I'M NOT THE ONE WHO KIDNAPPED SOMEONE, TIED THEM DOWN TO A BED, AND PLAYED DRESS UP WITH THEM!!! Which leads me to my next question: WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A BLACK SATIN NIGHTGOWN?!” Celene screamed at the top of her lungs.

 

“Damn, you're like a siren!” Dante covered his ears. “Let me make a few corrections. One, I didn't kidnap you, I saved you. Two, I tied you down because it was necessary. And three, I didn't dress you up, the nightgown isn't mine.”

 

“Then who's is it?” Celene crossed her arms and questioned Dante as if he was a criminal.

 

“It's mine.”

 

Celene and Dante turned around to the hall and found Trish standing there. Dante slumped down on the couch to a more comfortable position, “Trish, what's for dinner, I'm hungry.”

 

“I ordered pizza, it's in the fridge.” Trish answered simply and walked over to Celene. Actually, you can't really describe it as walking, it was more like gliding. To Celene, Trish seemed very, well, mysterious. Trish smiled, “Why don't you go take a shower before you eat. I cleaned your cloths and they're in the bathroom.”

 

“Uh… um… okay, thanks.” Celene stuttered and started towards the hallway.

 

“Wow…” Dante's eyes widened. “She actually listened.” He looked at Trish in amazement.

 

“I don't think she's the problem.” Trish said and walked into the kitchen.

 

Dante perked up in his seat, “What's that suppose to mean?”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“That's better!” Celene smiled at the mirror. She was finally wearing her own cloths and not a skimpy little nightgown. While picking up Trish's cloths, she noticed the tattoo again. It had stopped burning since they took care of the demon. She touched it, expecting to feel a scar, but found none. “Couldn't he have picked something else that looks better?” Then she hit herself for asking such a stupid question, “What the hell am I talking about? Why the hell did he give me a tattoo in the first place?”

 

She walked outside and found Dante eating pizza and Trish reading a book. Dante looked up at her, his mouth full of pizza, and offered, “Want one?”

 

“Don't talk with your mouth full.” Trish said without looking up from her book.

 

Dante just shrugged. “Here.” He tossed her bag over to her. “Check if everything's in there.”

 

Celene felt her eye twitch right when she looked into her bag, “Did you look into my bag?” Dante just continued eating. Celene sighed and looked into her bag again. “Uh… Where's my wallet?”

 

Dante answered casually, “Wallet? I don't know.” Celene held up a fist and was just about to beat the crap out of him when he answered immediately. “I mean… Let me think about it.” Celene dropped her fist and waited impatiently. “I think I dropped it when you hit me this morning. Yeah, it's in the room.” Celene followed Dante as he led the way to the room. Memories from this morning flooded her mind. She shuddered and pushed it aside.

 

“It should be around here somewhere, since this is where you attacked me.” Dante said and got on his knees to start searching for her wallet.

 

Celene grumbled and got on her knee as well, “I didn't attack you. I was defending myself.” She looked around the room and wondered about the scratches on the walls. “Hey, what happened to your room?”

 

“Ask yourself, you're the one who did it.” Dante answered. “That's why I said it was necessary to tie you down.”

 

“Yeah right! How the hell did I do this to the wall!” She pointed at the three deep parallel gashes in the wall. “These look like claw marks! And I…” She held up her hands for him to see. “…don't have claws.”

 

“Well, you did.” He stood up and as he picked up the wallet. “Found it!” He tossed it over to her and headed out of the room.

 

“Could you possibly come up with anything more ridiculous?” Celene said sarcastically as she caught her wallet. She checked if she still had all her money.

 

Dante turned around to face her, “How about this? You turned into a demon last night and tore up everything in the room.” He asked. “Ridiculous enough for you?”

 

Celene stared at him in disbelieve, “You're serious.”

 

“Pretty much.” Dante pointed to the couch. “I think you're gonna need to sit down for this.” Celene sat down on the couch as Trish offered her a glass of water. Dante scratched his head, “Okay, let's see. How should I put this? Well, first of all, this has never happened before.”

 

“What has never happened before?” Celene asked.

 

“Remember how the demon shot something at you before it died?” Celene nodded her head. “Well, the closest thing I can come up with is that the demon infected you with demon genes. But I'm not sure, because this has never happened before. And I couldn't find anything in the books about that.”

 

Celene lifted her eyebrow in surprise, “You actually read?”

 

“Anyways…” Dante ignored her question. “So the side effects turned you into a demon last night and you went crazy. That's why my room looks like that, and that's why I had to tie you down.” Dante looked her up and down. “You don't seem to be having any demon problems tonight. I think the effects wore off.” He sat in a chair and slumped down in it. “Anymore questions?”

 

“Just one.” Celene lifted her hair from the left side of her neck. “What the hell is this?” She pointed at the tattoo. Dante walked up to her and tried to examine the tattoo but Celene stopped him from coming any closer but holding her leg up. “That's close enough.”

 

Dante backed up a step, “I could've swore that wasn't there last night. Cause we checked your wound and everything, right Trish?” He looked over to Trish, who was staring at Celene's tattoo in surprise. “Trish? Are you okay?”

 

Trish quickly recovered from her shocked look and agreed, “No, that wasn't there last night.” She continued to stare at her tattoo.

 

“Okay…” Dante turned his attention back to Celene. “Maybe it's just a scar. I wouldn't worry too much.”

 

“But it was burning like hell!” Celene put her hand over the tattoo.

 

“Does it burn now?” Celene shook her head. “Well then just forget about it. Go to sleep, and you can go home tomorrow.”

 

“No thanks. I think I'll drive home.” Celene head out the door.”

 

“Oh yeah, about your car…” Dante commented just before Celene was out the door. “I went back to find it, but it wasn't there anymore.”

 

“What do you mean it wasn't there?!” Celene said in a dangerous tone.

 

Dante tried to avoid her gaze, “Eh… I think somebody stole it or something.” Right after he said it, he brought his arms up to protect himself from her punch. “Calm down! You can probably find it later!”

 

Celene slumped down to the floor, “I'm so screwed! I just got that for my birthday from Jin!!!”

 

Dante rubbed his arm where she had strike him, it was kind of sore, “Who's Jin? Your boyfriend?”

 

“None of your business!” She screamed at him and sat on the couch.

 

Dante sighed, “You can see in my room tonight, I'll drive you home tomorrow.” Celene just nodded, she was exhausted and had no strength left to fight with Dante. She headed into the messy room again. “Hey, Trish. You should go to sleep, it's almost 3:00a.m.”

 

“Un.” Trish nodded as Dante walked Celene into the room. But instead of going to sleep, she took out a pencil and a note pad. Carefully, she drew something on to it. After she finished, she tore out the page and gazed at it. It looked very familiar, the black Roman numeral three. Hearing Dante come out, she hastily stuffed the paper into her pocket and went into her room.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Cece?” Jennifer came into the storage room. “Are you okay? You've been in here for a while.” Celene nodded. Jennifer looked around the room and found that all the boxes had been move into their rightful places. “Wow! You did all this? Don't you usually have Jin do it?”

 

“I can do it myself.” Celene said and walked out of the room. She looked around and found no one but Jin cleaning the tables. “What happen to all of them?”

 

“Their lunch break was over.” Jin looked up at her. “But the question is: what happen to you?”

 

“Oh yeah, that.” Celene decided to tell the truth. “You want the truth right?” She asked him as she opened up the cabinet under the counter and started going through the stuff under there.

 

Both Jin and Jennifer kneel down next to her to hear her story, “Yeah. Tell us every bit of it.”

 

“Okay.” Celene held out her hand as Jin handed her a can of flavoring to put into the cabinet. “I ran over something and was attacked by it. Then I fainted and was saved by someone. That is all.”

 

Jennifer handed her another can, “Something? What do you mean? What'd you run over?”

 

Celene stopped to look them in the eye, “A demon.” Jin flinched, but Jennifer just laughed.

 

“You could come up with something better than that!” Jennifer laughed as Jin got up and looked away. His hands held into fists.

 

“Jin? You okay?” Celene was beginning to get worried. “Are you mad at me? I swear I'm not lying.”

 

“No, it's just…” Jin frowned but quickly changed his expression to a smile. “We have to start getting ready for tonight. We have a bar to run.”

 

Jennifer sighed, “A café in the morning and a bar at night, I don't know how you guys do it.”

 

Celene smiled and got back to organizing the stuff in the cabinet, “We have our ways.”

 

“A bar, huh? I was just thinking about a drink. Are you opened right now, babe?” a voice spoke from over the counter.

 

“Babe? Why does that sound so familiar? Oh hell no!” In her haste to see who was over the counter, Celene forgot to pull her head out of the cabinet before getting up and hit her head. “OW, SHIT!” She held her head in pain.

 

“Whoa! You okay? Didn't know you missed me so much!” Dante, leaning on the counter, grinned at her.

 

“Damn.” It was all Celene could come up with. She should've known it wouldn't be that easy to get rid of him.
