Toshiko walked out of the Kitchen and wiped her forehead,
"God, its hot in there." But she was cut off by Ianto throwing 2 plates into her hands and saying,
"Table 5, now go!" Working for her best friend was fun, but it also meant that Ianto didn't hold back in telling her to do things. She looked down at the plates, a salad and a risotto, she hadn't served table 5 yet and so she was assuming they were starters. She put on a faint smile and walked to the table.
"Oh, the salad here, love." Said the Welsh woman. Tosh put down the plates and went to stand by the door.
"This looks great." Said the man, he was American and Tosh looked surprise.
"Oh c'mon, Jack, i've taken you here before."
"Yeah but its been to long, Gwen!" Gwen and Jack, Tosh logged the names in her memory incase they ever came back, customers like it when you know their names. Ianto hurried into the dining room with a coke and glass of water on a tray, he placed them down on the table.
"Thanks, love." Said Gwen never leaving Ianto's gaze, she smiled her gap-tooth smile that was so sweet, she gave Jack a kick under the table,
"Uh, thanks." He spluttered out. Ianto dipped his head and walked back into the kitchen.
"Oh, Mr Harkness." Swooned Gwen. Jack Harkness. Thought Tosh, a full name was all the better.
"What? In case you haven't noticed he isn't half-" "Yes, Jack I know, now eat something or we are going to be late, but then again they wont be expecting you till 3:00 and the appointment is at 2:00."
"Oi." Jack shot at her,
"Well you aren't exactly the kind of person to be on time." Gwen scoffed.
"That's why I have a wonderful PA."
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Harkness."
"Thanks, Cooper." Gwen smiled and Tosh nodded to herself.
Owen came sluggishly through the front door of the restaurant,
"Where have you been?" Asked Tosh.
"Sorry Tosh, don't tell boss will ye?" Tosh blushed,
"No, of course not." She finally said.
"All right then, your free, this is my shift."
"Ok, thanks, Owen." Tosh took off her black waist apron and thrust it into Owen's hands, she then took her leave to the kitchen to find Ianto.
"Yan?" She called as she wandered into the kitchen.
"Yeah?" An echoed reply called out,
"Where are you?"
"At the bar!" Tosh walked out of the kitchen and around the corner where she saw some customers drinking and Ianto sat at the end. She walked to where he was sitting.
"Yan, table 5 want to talk to you about something."
"Oh? What?" Asked a confused Ianto.
"Uh, I don't know, they just asked for you." Tosh somewhat babbled.
"Um...Ok." He got up and left, leaving Tosh smiling like a drunk cat.
She smiled to herself, and walked through the smog of cigarette smoke to the door.
"Uh, you wanted to see me?" Asked Ianto as he approached the table.
"Uh, no sorry." Said Gwen, looking up at the approaching man.
"Actually, I don't mind seeing you." Ianto blushed bright red to the Americans words.
"Jack...Im sorry." Said Gwen.
"No, its quite all right, I think my friend set me up."
"I like your friend." Said Jack, Gwen kicked him under the table.
"What?" Jack spat at Gwen.
"Jack you can't just say that to waiters."
"Im sure this waiter has a name, which would be?" He turned to Ianto with his 1000 watt smile, Ianto stumbled out the words.
"Uh, Jones, Ianto Jones, sir."
"Jack Harkness, and drop the sir." He reached out his hand and Ianto shook it politely.
"Um, let me take your plates." Ianto gathered up the china and made a quick escape for the kitchen. He went to find Toshiko then he walked past the rota, he scanned it quickly and then realized it was her break, and she could be anywhere, damn she was good. He asked for Owen to take the plates to table 5 but he smiled and shook his head, if Tosh and Owen weren't his two best friends he would so fire them. Scooping up the plates he took a deep breath and walked into the dining room,
"Im Gwen Cooper by the way." Smiled Gwen as Ianto put down the plates.
"Nice to meet you."
"Likewise." She said, Ianto smiled. Ianto saw a usual customer walk in and his face lit up.
"Hello syr ddod i mewn a ydych am i eistedd i lawr?"
"Yes thanks Ianto, but you don't need to speak Welsh." The old man said laughing.
Ianto smiled and Owen came to take the man to his usual table, Ianto then returned to Gwen and Jack's table.
"Sorry about that..." Gwen and Jack stared at him gob-smacked.
"You speak Welsh?" Spluttered Jack.
"Yep."
"I used too, don't really anymore." Said Gwen.
"Its okay, no one really does anymore." Ianto smiled.
"Boss we need you in here!" Came a loud voice from the kitchen.
"Hey looks like you boss is in trouble." Said Jack, grinning wildly.
"Yeah, he better go check it out." Said Ianto turning and walking to the kitchen.
"Mr Boss is coming!" He said loud enough for the kitchen staff to hear as Ianto walked in.
"Smooth." Said Gwen and Jack pouted.
"How was I to know?"
"What's the name of the restaurant, Jack?"
"Jones. Oh!"
"And there you go." She said waving her hand in unison to her words, and Jack's pout grew.
The noises from the kitchen had stopped as Ianto returned from the kitchen beaming.
"What happened?" Asked Owen,
"Old Sanders back there tripped and the kitchen is undergoing a pasta décor, so your staying late to help clean it up."
"I wondered why you came out smiling..." Muttered Owen as he grabbed a dish towel that was lying on a shelve in the front desk. Ianto mumbled something and smiled as he took Owen's place at the door, though he was completely aware of a certain American staring at him, and a smug looking Japanese woman sitting on a bench over the street.
