(the scott character wont become a major character but plays a part in the story)
I was never a decisive person. I could never make up my mind what I wanted; I was always left wondering worried what I'd miss out on.
I can remember when I was a kid at the ice cream parlor, I would have spent hours there if I had been able; trying to decide if I wanted my favorite ice cream or try a new flavour.
But what if I didn't like the new flavour ? I'd be stuck with it, and if I got my favorite- I knew i'd like it but I would have wondered what the new one was like. Sometimes i just wanted both; but that was easily solved, icecream is easier than people and life.
It had been eight weeks since the night of the accident that had left Georgia with a faked broken leg; and she was finally able to get it removed.
In that time she had been spending alot of time with fellow Happy Time employee Scott, who couldn't quite figure out why her suposed friends were rather uncaring and dismissive of her injury, and him.
Georgia was thankful of his assistance and as a result of the time they were spending together their relationship had developed into something more serious- much to Mason's dismay.
Since the morning of the accident Mason had chosen to avoid the Waffle House and Georgia, opting to ignore Georgia's new relationship and preferring to know as little about the relationship and Scott as possible. Mason hadn't been the only notable absence in the past few weeks, Rube had also taken personal leave and had gone AWOL, the reapers had been receiving their assignments in a white unmarked envelope that was left in their usual seat each morning, under the supervision of Kiffany, who would ensure the booth remained empty until Roxy arrived in the morning.
"He's still gone?" Kiffany asked pouring Roxy a fresh cup of coffee
"Looks like it" Roxy replied as she tore open the envelope and retrieved the contents; four post it notes and a sheet of white paper with writtting on it.
Mason was the next to arrive, he stood at the end of the table with his right arm extended waiting to recieve the piece of yellow paper shifting his weight uncomfortably while constantly scanning the room. He glanced down at Roxy who was studying the white note, then shook his hand impatiently in an attempt to get Roxy's attention, evidently failing he sighed heavily, Roxy raised her eyebrowns not taking her eyes from the note.
"You know you can't avoid her forever, you're going to have to see her sooner or later Mason; You know this is what Rube meant"
"You know what? fuck Rube that old prick hasn't been here in weeks, besides I'm choosing not to see her, I dont know what to say to her or that smarmy wank of a boyfriend, can I go know I know he's been coming in for breakfast with her and its her day off so she's likely to hang around."
Roxy sighed and smiled at Mason
"Go on but expect a visitor sometime today; she's going to want her car back."
"Tell her to come alone then" he called behind him as he exited the restaurant.
Roxy gazed out the window and checked her watch, George and Daisy were late, again. George's new boyfriend wasn't the most punctual person and didn't understand their obsession with the waffle house; especially since none of them actually ate waffles. He dropped the girls off and went to work.
George and Daisy sat opposite Roxy as she gave them their reaps.
"George there's a note here from Rube- tomorrows Halloween and he recommends you taking a personal day or remember your mask, and to leave the boyfriend alone for the weekend."
"He wouldn't recognise you anyway" Daisy added before George could reply,
George contemplated Roxy's words and smiled "Three day weekend" She looked at the notes in Roxy's hand and realised there had only been three post its "Mason already been?" She tried to sound nonchalant, with out raising too much suspicion, unfortunately her voice sounded dejected and sad.
George had never spoken about it with Daisy or Roxy; but the both knew Georgia still had feelings for Mason and was missing his presence at mealtimes.
Roxy looked at Daisy and diverted her gaze to Georgia; raising her eyebrow
"I need my keys, I have to keep away from Scott in the next few days and i need a ride" she stuttered
"No he has come and gone, said if you were going to pick up your car today to go alone" She emphasised the last word and smiled
"Why did you two split, I thought you guys liked each other"
-We did, still do if I'm honest, I couldn't argue that fact and I couldn't lie to these two they could see right through me
"I gotta go to work" She stuttered as she got up and left.
Daisy and Roxy watched her exit and turned to each other and exchanged glances
"Mason still avoiding her?" Daisy asked
Roxy nodded "Couldn't get out of here fast enough this morning"
"She's really missing him, but she's with Scott; he's cute and sweet he adores her and she likes him i guess but he's not Mason, I dont think she's over him"
"It's Thursday right?" Daisy asked
Roxy nodded and smiled
"George doesn't work Thursdays..."
