"Oh thanks, Maggie." I say from the locker room.
Maggie is my co-worker and best friend, she covered for me because I just got here. Yes I'm late but only by 10 minutes. Its 4:20pm now, I was supposed to be her at 4. I was trying to rush out of school, but got held up again by Princess bragging about something not worth repeating. I was running the most of the way until I remembered duh I have superpowers I can fly. I change into my uniform, which is a waitress outfit, with white lace trim and the dress it's self is rainbow colored, showing the many different colors of frozen yogurt. I put my hair up in a tight high ponytail. I check myself out in the mirror to make sure my bruises are covered. Make-up isn't only used to just make you pretty.
Once satisfied I go out and to my first table, which happens to occupy the Rowdyruff Boys. I smile at them and they nod a 'hey' in my direction. Over the years back in middle school I befriended them, Buttercup did too but it took up until last year before she warmed up to them. To me they are like my brothers, and that's why I haven't told them about me being abused. They'd want to kill the one responsible, but he's still my father, I'd miss him.
"Hey guys, what do you want?" I ask getting my pen and little notepad ready.
"Nice greeting there Bubbsy." Boomer said I smiled and rolled my eyes.
"But seriously are you going to order something or just sit here. Because if you just sit here I'm gonna have to ask you to leave, bosses orders." I said.
"Well, since you put it that way just get us 3 Pepsi's." Butch said.
Boomer glared at him "Hey, you know I hate Pepsi!"
"Do you want some water then?" I ask.
"Sure, water's good and pure just like you." Boomer said winking at me.
I giggled and walked away shaking my head.
I came back, and set the drinks down, then threw some straws on the table.
"You guys want anything else?"
"Nah, were good for now" Brick said.
"Okay." I said.
Maggie came up to me and whispered, "That guy over there is totally checking you out."
I look to see who she's referring to and I see a really hot guy, he has longish raven black hair like Butch, but his eyes are so aqua-green they just make you melt. I can tell he has a good build and looks to be my age. I smile at him, Maggie punches my arm.
"Dude, don't look. Staring isn't nice." She said.
I looked away blushing, "Sorry." I said, she laughed.
She sighed and shook her head at me, "Since I am such a nice friend and I love you dearly, you can have my table."
"What? No, Maggs I can't, you need it more than I do." I said.
She smacked her lips together and said "Mm… None of that, think of it as a favor. Now go cute stuff." She said shooing me.
I frowned at her for that and wined "Maggie, he could have herd you." She giggles and moves on to taking dirty dishes to the dishwasher.
I stand there, take a deep breath and walk over.
"Hi, I'll be your waitress this evening, can I get you anything?"
Oh my god, I sound like some weird person, maybe I was overdoing the peppiness. He looks up at me and smirks, I could just melt right now.
"Yeah, sure. Coffee, with milk, creamer and sugar, and ah make that a double." He said, I nodded but I haven't written it down I was just staring at him.
OMG, he must think me as some kind of freak. I shake my head to try to recover from my embarrassment.
"Oh yeah, should probably write that down. Sorry, I'm not usually like this." I said as I started to write down the order.
He chuckles which makes me blush and smile like a dork.
"It's all right, what's your name." he asks, my name?
I look at my name tag and say "Bubbles, but people call me Bea for short."
He chuckles again, "Cute." He says.
"Um… thanks?" I say, "Well I'll be right back with your coffee." I said then walked away.
I saw the boys smirking at me and I blushed, then I came into the kitchen to tell Maggie how I acted like an idiot. But I find her fighting back tears, phone in one hand, plate in the other that has a burger and fries on it.
"Maggs? What's wrong." I ask gently.
"Mom, I gotta go… Yeah I'll be home soon." She said voice groggy.
"Maggie?" I ask putting my hand on her arm, she hugs me.
"Shawn got into a motorcycle accident. And mom is worried sick about me and him, she wants me home but I can't go home, I have to work. She's at the hospital right now with Kyra." She said.
Shawn is her older brother, he's 19 and they are really close. He has the same dark brown hair as her and dark eyes, she looks a lot like her mom, Lucy. And Kyra is her little sister she's 4 years old. It's tough financially for them, her mom works 2 jobs, and she has this one and 2 other.
"Maggs, go. Your mom needs you, I'm sure Alison will understand. I'll take your tables and give you your tips tomorrow, okay?" I said.
She hugged me tighter, "Thanks, Bea. I can always count on you." She said then went into the locker room.
Alison is the owner and our boss. She's really nice but can be really stern, she's a rule person. Everything has to be by the book with her, she's in her mid-50's and this restaurant is more like a styled 50's diner. With the big red booths in the corners and everything. I sigh and wave her off, then I make that coffee and bring it to the guy.
"Here you go, sorry it took so long." I said.
"No problem." He said sipping it.
"Anything else I can get you?" I asked.
"A burger and fries." He said, I nodded and walked away.
"Hey Bea!" Boomer yell-whispered to me before I went into the kitchen.
I sighed and put my index finger up. I put the order on the spinny-clip thing on the window to the kitchen where Gary is cooking away. And spined it so he could see the order and walked over to the Ruff's table.
"What?" I ask.
"What happened with Maggie?" he asked.
I make a scotching motion with my hand to Butch and he did. I sat down
"Shawn got into a motorcycle accident and her mom is freaking out." I said.
"Oh, poor Maggs." He said.
I nodded, "I hope everything is alright." I said.
Butch put an arm around me and pulled me in close, "Awe, I'm sure everything is going to be fine." He said.
"I hope so." I said.
I rested my chin on my hand, my elbow on the table. Boomer started to smirk and I got suspicious.
"What?" I asked, he grinned wider without saying anything.
"What is it, Boomer?!" I said getting mad.
"So you got a new boyfriend?" he asked nodding to the guy by the window.
"No!" I said defensive while blushing madly.
He tapped the tip of my nose and said "Whatever you say sweetheart."
I pouted and rolled my eyes at him. Brick and Butch snickered. I glared at them, they started to laugh. Butch with his arm still draped over my shoulders, started to absently play with my hair, he took a lock of it and started to twirl it between his index and middle fingers. Business is slow today, I swear it's just the guys, the mystery guy and an old couple here. I spoke too soon, the bell on the door rang and 2 guys around 25-26 came stumbling in laughing hysterically.
"Great just what I need, to wait on drunks." I mumbled.
I got up and let Butch's arm to plop on the seat. I giggled when he realized I moved, and walked to the window to pick up the burger and fries.
I put it down on the table and said "Here ya go."
With a smile, he smiled at me.
"Thanks, looks good. My name's Kory by the way, I was going to introduce my self earlier but you hurried off, you move fast." He said snickering.
I blushed and smiled, "Yeah, I guess I do." I said, and walked away.
I went over to the old couple's table they were getting ready to leave, I started to stack some plates.
The older gentlemen thanked me for my service and the older woman said "That was a mighty fine dinner, the cook cooked. Would you mind thanking him for me?" she said.
I smiled, "Oh, sure no problem and thank you for coming to Freezies." I said.
"Thank you dear." She said and they left. Why are old people so cute?
I went over to the 2 drunk guys and put on my best fake smile, I hate dealing with drunks.
"Hi, I'll be your waitress this evening. Can I get you started on some drinks?" I said with fake cheerfulness that you can hardly tell.
"Damn! Honey are you sure you're a waitress, you look mighty fine." Said the first one on the left, who slurred his words.
Why do people get drunk at only 6pm?
"Um, thanks. So do you want anything." I said getting annoyed.
The guy on the right grabbed hold of my waist and put me on his lap and whispered in my ear.
"You, honey. I want you." He said.
I pushed him away from me and moved out of his reach, he blinked as if he didn't know what's happening. The other guy pinched my butt, I slapped his hand away. I guess that enraged him because he got up and swung at me I ducked with a gasp ready for impact, but it didn't come.
I open my eyes to see Boomer shielding me, and Brick his hand over the other man's fist squeezing, I swear I can hear bones cracking. And Butch is staring down the guy, who pulled me on his lap, with disgust and a death glare. I saw Brick's jaw tense.
"You better apologize to her, if you know what's good for you." Brick threated.
The 2 guys looked from Brick to Butch to me. And said "S-Sorry." In union, I nodded a forgiveness and Brick let the guy's hand go. Butch shoved them up and threw them out.
"And don't come back until you learn some manners, assholes." I heard Butch yell to them as they ran down the street.
I got up, and hugged Brick "Thanks." I said, my voice muffled because I buried my face in his chest.
I looked around, that Kory guy left. Probably before it happened. I go to the table and clean up the coffee mug and plate with ketchup still on it. He left me a 5 dollar tip and a note that said:
Hey,
I know this is wired because we just met, but you wanna go for coffee sometime? You can reach me at 555-0129. I look forward to hear from you, Bubbles.
Kory
I smile and tuck it in my apron pocket.
