Chapter 4: Chase's POV
I leaned up against the counter, tired of cooking. I wanted a break. And breakfast wasn't even over yet. I sighed and caught a glimpse of Angela talking with Kathy. I couldn't help but stare. She seemed, happy.
"CHASE!" Maya yelled from behind me.
"What?" I asked turning around to see her holding three slips of paper in her hands.
"Quit that and start making some food." She said gliding over to me.
I took the orders out of her hands and studied them, so I would know what to make.
"You're taken." She said to me cheerfully and leaving the kitchen.
"What?" I asked dumbfounded, I glanced out over the bar into the restaurant area. Maya was grabbing Angela's plate back and bringing it back over to me. I saw that there was still some food left on it. Angela was staring in the kitchen's direction. Her mouth hanging open slightly. I couldn't help but to grin at her reaction to Maya. Kathy stood up and yelled at Maya, but Angela sat her back down.
Maya slid the plate in front of me. "She said she was finished." Maya said smiling at me and taking off to another table. I looked down and the omelet was only half eaten.
"C-Can I have my food back?" Angela asked me. She stuttered a little.
"Uh, sure." I said sliding the plate of food across the bar to her. "Sorry about Maya." I said turning around and walking back over to the stove.
"Oh, it's okay." Angela said. "Um, see you later." She picked up the plate and headed back to the table where Kathy was sitting. I watched her and Kathy from the kitchen until Maya popped back in. But, I don't know why though…
"Get those orders made!" She reminded me, skipping off again to check on the customers. I sighed and dug around the kitchen. Soon I had tons of Ingredients laid out. Omelets sizzled on the stove. Rice cooked in the rice cooker, and bacon sat on the, now, cooling griddle. I tossed all the food onto a few plates and slid them back onto the bar for Maya to take to their waiting consumers. I glanced up at the clock and it was almost 11. Time to stop breakfast, and get ready for Lunch. I looked over at the table where Angela and Kathy had been sitting. It was empty now. I shut my eyes and sighed; I couldn't stop my mind from wondering. I still didn't know why she was here, but why did I care? I opened my eyes and found Kathy staring at me.
"Daydreaming or just thinking?" She asked, giggling.
"N-No." I lied.
"Was it about someone?"
"No. Why do you care?" I muttered.
"You were making funny faces." Kathy said laughing again.
"So where did your new friend go?" I asked, hoping Kathy wouldn't get the wrong idea.
"To find Mayor Hamilton. She's with that new farming project thing." She said.
"Oh." I muttered turning around and walking over to the sink to wash the plates and glasses.
"So you will see her every day!" Kathy said walking away.
"Kathy, shut up!" I called back to her. She only laughed and headed upstairs. I sighed and got to cleaning the dishes.
