"Hey, are you Olivia Pope?"
"Yes."
"What are you doing working here?"
Olivia ignored the question. It was the same question at least once a day when she worked the night shift.
"Do you want fries with that?"
"Can I have a picture with you?"
"No."
She was not going to be humiliated on social media. After standing on her feet for hours, she was feeling light headed. Her manager asked her to work a double shift. She was so tired. When the customer had their food, she asked her manager for permission to take a break. She needed a power nap in the lobby. Her manager allowed her a 15 minute break. The afternoon rush was over. The restaurant would be slow until closing. She closed her eyes and she could still see light.
"Olivia she needs milk. Do you have any pumped?"
Olivia sat up when she heard the Spanish accent. Sunlight was pouring in the room and the tiny baby was screaming in her bassinet. She sat up and looked at the man hidden under the covers.
"Do I need to go to the store and buy formula?"
"Am I dreaming?"
"No Olivia. Your baby is crying because she is hungry."
"This isn't real. Why are they in my dreams?"
The baby wailed louder and Olivia closed her eyes. The old woman started complaining in Spanish.
"Hey your break is over. We've got customers."
"I had a weird dream."
"We need to get these customers out the lobby. Hurry up and get to the register."
"Kathy, has anything strange happened today or yesterday?"
"Olivia go to the register or go to the bus stop."
"Fine, that was a dumb question."
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, what combo would you like today?"
Olivia tried to keep her mind on her job, but she couldn't stop thinking about her dreams. President Grant was in her dreams. She had to stop watching so many political shows. The sky was dark blue when her shift ended. The streets were almost empty. There was something really strange about walking alone at night. Her imagination was running wild. A black luxury car seemed to be following her. She walked faster until she was breathing hard. She could see the bus in the distance. Her heart skipped a beat when the car didn't pick up speed. She let out a deep breath when the luxury car turned a corner. She was being too paranoid.
