Missy pink and missy jeans always sit next to the window on the right of the café. The howdy boys, the gang of teenage rascals, sit next to the door always talking loudly and try to check out every girls ass, except the cute one with blue eyes and dimples, he checks out the men that walk by, Nerdy Veronica always sits on the bench 3 left from the register. Lord jackass always sits in the middle of the restaurant – must be because he likes the attention – and the 2 lovebirds, married 52 years, sit in the back and they always hold hands. She orders the milkshake and fries while he always orders a coffee and the burger special. Every Monday, he brings her flowers and every Monday, she smiles as if he had asked her to marry him for the first time.

Me? Well, I'm just a waitress who works full time and lost everyone she has ever loved. I've been working here since I've been 15, I am now 22. People come and go, but I stay put. There is nothing out there for me now.

The sound of the bell took my out of my head and I looked up. A man with the bluest eyes I had ever seen had just walked in. His raven black hair and his black leather jacket moved with his body as he came to sit 5 benches from the register. I hadn't noticed I was biting my lip until his eyes looked into mine.

″Hi, what may I get you? ″

He smirked and looked at my name tag.

''Hello Elena, I'll take a bourbon.''

He said and I nodded before turning to get the liquor. I poured the liquid into a glass and put it in front of him. He smiled, took a sip and I asked:

''I've never seen you around here, are you just passing through? ''

He did a half-smile thing, which made me swoon, and answered:

''I was but… I might just stick around.''

I grinned and went to the back to get the apple pie for missy blue-jeans. Jeremy, our cook, looked up and said:

''Why the grin?''

''No reason. Go cook.''

I exclaimed before turning to put the pie in front of the customer. She didn't say a word as she dug in. Bonnie looked at me in desperation as she went towards the howdy boys table. I sighed and went back to the mysterious man in black. He looked up at me and asked:

''When does your shift end?''

I frowned, why would he want to know that? No one has ever asked me that.

''In an hour, why?''

''I need a tour guide around town, I've been gone for far too long.''

He said and shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal. What… Who is he?

''I do not even know your name.''

I stated, a smile plastered to my face. He smirked, took a swing out of his glass without answering me and I sighed. Mr Jackass was still waiting for his cheese-burger and scotch. I turned away from the bourbon drinking stranger and made his scotch before getting his burger. I arrived in front of him and put the food on the table.

''Sorry for the wait .''

I said. He waved it off and said:

''Who's the new guy? Sitting at the bar?''

I looked back at the man in black and sighed.

''I have no idea. Your guess is as good as mine. He's thinking of staying a while here though, you could go talk to him and ask him yourself.''

He huffed at my answer and thanked me for the food. Missy jeans and blue-jeans needed their receipt and the lovebirds were still as in love as they've always been. When I finished with all of them, I looked over at the stranger who was looking directly at me.

''Can I get you anything else?''

I asked as I washed my hands. He looked over at Mr. Jackass and said:

''What's his story?''

''Ric? He lost his wife a while back, now he's a history teacher. He's a sad man; I hope he finds love again. He needs love in his life or at least a good friend.''

I said. He nodded and took a last swing of his bourbon.

''Are you free to leave now?''
