I walked through the doors of Mc Donald's…yeah that's right…hey if you work enough hours you can make a good ass living, and at my age any money that is mine, is good money!
"Mona can you stay a little longer?" My boss walked up to me and smile guiltily at me.
"I think I can stay up until midnight, I just have to call my sister." I said even though I already talked to her and she said it was fine.
"Thank you Mona, and like I promise, you will get that raise." I smiled a little brighter and nodded my head.
"Thank you Mr. Edwards." I said before walking in the back and putting my things away.
I went into the ladies bathroom and changed into my uniform. Once I was done I went to the back booth to get everything ready like my register drawer, my headset, and a parfait…hey, they are good!
My headset beeped and I looked up at the screen and saw it was a blue FORD pick up truck and rolled my eyes.
"May I take your order?" I said while sitting down and popping my Winterfresh gum.
"Mona?" I sighed and stood back up so I could punch in what he wanted on my register.
"Yes Cody." I said a bit too annoyingly. Their was a pause before I heard him clear his throat and then he gave me his order.
"Give me the number one, and your number." He said smoothly…well tried to. I smirked and put his order in.
"What's your drink?" I asked just as my friend Danielle came in the booth with me and sat down in my chair.
"Classic Coke babe." Dani raised a brow and laughed. I covered her mouth and told her to shush.
"Come around please." I said trying to hold in my laugh and once he was away from the intercom we laughed.
"Girl who was that?" Dani asked while standing up and taking my parfait. I smacked my lips and sat down.
"He goes to school with me, can you believe he is graduating next year?" I said while Dani shook her head.
"That's why when I was your age, my boyfriend was twenty-one." She said while snapping her fingers.
"Are you still with him?" I asked once I saw Cody coming around to my window.
"Nope, I'm with his brother." She smiled brightly and I made a disgusted face.
"Ugh Dani." I said while she nudged me and nodded her head towards the window.
"Girl hush, his brother is a year younger, but we are all cool…that's Cody huh?" I opened the window and nodded my head.
"Yeah it's him…" Dani took my headset off and put it on her head. She gave Cody the once over and shrugged.
"I'll take the next order, you deal with lover boy." She waved her hand at Cody and went to work. I laughed lightly and gave Cody my attention.
"Whatever…four-ten." I said to him while holding one hand out towards him and the other on my hip.
"Okay, how about that number?" He asked while giving me a five dollar bill.
"I can't give it to you." I said while getting his change. I looked over at Dani when I heard her giggling. I raised a brow at her and she shook her head and turned mine towards Cody.
"And why is that?" He asked. I was giving him his change when he grabbed my hand and leaned out of his window a bit more. I have to admit, Cody is cute, he can be sweet, but I had two problems with him. He dated my friend and I don't trust him. He just seems like the type who doesn't have himself together and I refuse to date someone who is doing less then me.
I moved my hand back and bit my lip. I never liked someone asking me the same thing twice or want me to repeat the same thing twice. It was annoying and right now HE was being annoying and that's the last thing I wanted so early in doing my job for the day.
"Because I don't want to, please drive up to the next window to pick up your food." I said I pointed to the next window and Cody sighed and looked me over before putting his truck in gear.
"Whatever." I didn't see him drive off, but I heard him because my back was turned. Dani stared at me for a moment before folding her arms across her stomach and shook her head.
"Girl he asked me out today and I turned him down." I explained before she could even ask me the question I know was on her mind. She moved me out the ways and looked out the window at him.
"Why? He's cute, his pick-up lines are a bit lame, but he's in your age range." I looked at the screen and saw no one was in drive-thru and shrugged.
"I don't think I have an age range anymore." I said in all honesty. I really don't think I do. Children my age is starting to annoy me and I'm starting to be attracted to older men and find that I have more in common with older people. I can't let out my stress to the friends I have my age about paying bills and how crazy my hours can be at work…or the raise I'm about to get…if it's not about the latest hand bag, or a concert it's not important.
Dani gave me a high five and squealed while shaking her ass. She was fun to be around, twenty years old and has a little girl who I think is two.
"I hear that, because the pussy doesn't care about age, it's all in how you can work it." My eyes grew wide and I covered my mouth with my hand so I could hold in my laughter. I pushed Dani's shoulder and let a few giggles escape.
"I don't know anything about that-" I said while fixing my ponytail. I screamed when I felt a tug and turned around quickly to see a couple of my sister's friends looking back at me. I slapped the driver's hand and glared at him.
"You better not know anything about sex young lady." He said while the passenger laughed to himself. I rolled my eyes and looked at the screen to see they were the ones that Dani was taking the order for.
"Randy shut up, fork over the money." I said while holding my hand out. Randy's mouth dropped in mock shock and he looked at his friend while giving me the money.
"Is that any way to talk to a customer?" I snatched the money from him and smiled sweetly.
"It is when it's you…hi John." I said waving. John nodded his head at me and winked.
"Hello Mona Lisa." I felt myself blush a little at the nickname he gave me and put the money in the register and got the change.
"Enough of the dreamy eyes, where's my change." Randy said while trying to snatch the money out of my hand. My smile dropped and I slapped his hand away.
"You gets no change from me, move it or lose it buddy!" I said while trying to hit him again but he moved back, bumping into John who shook his head at the both of us.
"I'm telling your sister." Randy said and we both smiled at how childish he sounded. For someone who has a somewhat deep voice, he could really sound whinny, but in a cute way. If I was that type of girl who was a fast ass, I would give it to him without a second thought, but…I can only daydream.
"She's just going to curse you out, I know you have a crush on her…so keep your mouth shut and I'll put in a good word for you." I winked at him and now it was his turn to blush.
"Is that blackmail?" He asked while trying to look annoyed, but failing. I really wasn't paying attention to him to be honest. John was on his phone now and I was staring a damn hole into him. He was very sexy in my eyes, huge, big hands, big feet, blue eyes, and over twenty-one…my type of man.
I felt a nudge and looked over my shoulder to see Dani taking more orders. She mouthed "talk damnit" and went back to talking into the headset.
"What? No…move on Randy." I said after I shook the thoughts of me and John out of my head. Randy looked at John then me and smiled wickedly.
"Highway robbery!" He screamed causing John, Dani and myself to jump. I slapped the window and stomped my foot.
"Randy gone on now!" I said letting a little of my South Carolina roots to come out. Randy smiled brightly at me and rubbed his hands together.
"Whatever little country…listen, I'm picking you up tonight." I calmed down some and looked a bit confused.
"Why? I can just take the bus." I said pointing to the bus stop across the street. A few people behind Randy started to honk their horns making Randy look back at them and flipped them off.
"Uh, no, here's my cell number, call me when you are about to get off, got it." He said while giving me a piece of paper extra slow just to piss everybody off. I laughed a little and snatched the paper from him.
"Got it." I said while nodding my head. I was about to give Randy his change which was over ten dollars, but he waved his hand and drove off. I smirked and put it back in my pocket.
