Bella Mie Chapter One
A/N I think I'll be updating once a week, depending on how well the views are. It's been a long time since I've written. Thanks to all of you loyal and new readers! Enjoy!
Bella rummaged through her closet, looking for that pair of pants that made her ass look great.
"Alice, have you seen those black pants-"
"Top left drawer folded neatly on top, since I knew you'd need them for work."
Bella smiled gratefully at her roommate and best friend. She had never really been organized, but Alice was.
"We need to hurry, Bella. We have to be at the restaurant in a half hour and it's a twenty minute drive!"
Bella rolled her eyes at Alice while quickly putting on her snug white shirt and black flats. With no extra time, Bella put her hair in a bun with a pencil sticking out.
Alice had on her black skirt and button-up white shirt with the flats that matched Bella's. The two girls ran down the stairs and got to their car, driving away quickly.
"Where have you two been?! You're our best servers and what example does this give others when you're late?!"
Bella patiently waited for her father, the owner of Bella Mie, to stop his rant. This happened every time Alice and Bella showed up to work, even though they were ten minutes early. But to Charlie, ten minutes early was late.
"Not to be rude," Alice started "but we need to get ready for the dinner service, Charlie."
Charlie paused his rant, looking at the clock. He pursed his lips and nodded quickly, headed to the kitchen to probably find someone else to yell at.
Bella and Alice quickly went to the back. Bella had to grab her red apron and Alice had to grab the black one since she would be bar tending that evening.
"See ya on the other side," Bella said.
Alice just smirked and nodded, both girls heading out quickly to one of their busiest evenings.
"Hello and welcome to Bella Mie! I'll be your waitress, Bella. And what can I get you to drink?" Bella asked in her most polite voice.
She recognized the group that sat in her section almost immediately. She had gone to high schools with these jocks, and it looked as though they still saw themselves as big shots.
Mike had been the quarter back at their high school in Forks, Washington. Ben was a defender football dude and Tyler did something with kicking the ball. Bella never really paid attention to the rules; she just went to games to be with friends.
Mike had winked to her as soon as she got to their table, pencil poised to write.
"I'll have a coke to drink and some of that sweet ass for dinner," Mike stated with an air or arrogance.
Ben and Tyler snorted at their friend and looked to Bella to see what she would say.
"So one coke to drink and a donkey since you're not big enough of an ass. And you two gentlemen?"
Ben and Tyler gwuaffed and both just ordered water. Mike glared at Bella as she walked away, muttering under his breath.
Once Bella had gotten the hot-shots orders a few minutes later, she went to the newest customer in her section.
"Hello and welcome to Mella Bie…I mean Bella Mie," she said quickly and blushed at her mistake.
The customer just chuckled and smiled at her. She'd recognized him almost instantly since he was one of the regulars. Came on every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for dinner. He always ordered a cheese burger, the condiments always different. She already had his Sprite ready for him to drink.
"Hello again, Bella. I'll take a cheese burger with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and barbecue sauce."
Bella wrinkled her nose which caused this customer to laugh again.
"What? Don't like my choices?" He questioned.
"I'd just never heard of barbecue sauce on a burger," she replied.
He smiled his brilliant smile which put the butterflies in her stomach and her knees turned to jelly.
"Your burger ought to be out in approximately fifteen minutes," she added before walking off.
The hot-shots meals were ready so she balanced the plates expertly on her arms and carried them back to the table.
"Alright I have one 'sweet' ass for this gentleman," she stated placing down a plate of pasta.
She then gave the spaghetti to Tyler and personal pizza to Ben. When she had been turning around to walk away, she felt a hand wrap around her wrist.
"Before you go…" He started.
When she looked at him, his hand had moved and knocked his soda all down her front.
"Oh, shit! I'm so sorry, Bella!" Mike exclaimed.
He grabbed his napkin and started cleaning her off, but it quickly became evident that he was more helping for the chance to grope her. She shoved his hand off and got rather pissed off when he put it back.
"Excuse me, but that's not how you should properly help a lady," the regular customer interrupted.
Mike looked sort of pissed off and slightly ashamed when the regular helped to clean Bella off without any inappropriate touching. She smiled gratefully at the regular customer and was about to thank him when he spoke first.
"I'm Edward, by the way."
