CHAPTER DEDICATION: AMETHYST LAINEY
About two hours after their release, Sarah, Natalia, and Trisha were about to pass out. This was good for Sarah and Natalia since they had to work in the morning.
"Finally, the adrenaline rush ends!" David said picking Trisha up bridal style. "We'd better go before this one blacks out."
"And where exactly are you planning on going?" Sarah asked leaning on Jareth so she could at least keep her head up.
"Oh, I'll find some hotel." David said with a shrug.
"No your not. No friends of ours are going to sleep in a hotel when we have an apartment they can crash in." Sarah said attempting to get up. She failed and flopped into Jareth's lap. Jareth, Shane, and David laughed. Natalia was already sleeping and Trisha was holding onto the last string of consciousness.
"Is that okay with you, Jareth?" David asked.
"Of course, you're free to stay here until Sarah and I get sick of you and then throw you out. Then you can go back on tour of course so really it doesn't matter if we throw you out or not." Jareth continued to babble like an idiot until Sarah said something.
"Jareth shut up you bacon." Shane laughed, being the only one to get the joke.
Sarah and Natalia had been making breakfast back when they were about 10 years old. Shane has made a comment about how not to put the butter on the bread before toasting it. Sarah yelled back at him, "Shut up you…" but was cut off by Natalia screaming bacon and throwing a piece at Shane's face. Ever since they had called each other 'bacon.'
"Her batteries are obviously about to run out. I'll go put her in our bed and bring you out some blankets and pillows. Shane, you and Natalia are welcome to stay here as well." Jareth offered. Natalia and Shane still hadn't found an apartment for themselves.
"I doubt I could move 'it.'" Shane said laughing at Natalia who was sucking her thumb in her sleep.
"Okay, then it's settled." Jareth picked Sarah up off his lap and carried her into their room. He returned a few minutes later with pillows and blankets for their houseguests.
2 hours later-
Sarah and Natalia were getting ready to go to work. They had been suckered into doing the morning shift. It only took some bonus money from Ryan to get them to oblige.
They were showered, ready, and out the door, and at the restaurant by roughly 7:15. This gave them about 45 minutes to wait.
"Well, you two are here early." Ryan said walking up to them.
"Yeah, we somehow got out of the house pretty early." Sarah said a bit shyly. She felt so odd around Ryan after the last little, incident.
"Probably because everyone else was still dead in the middle of the floor!" Natalia said cheerfully.
"Well, since you are here so early, how about a coffee, my treat?" Ryan offered. Natalia and Sarah agreed and followed Ryan into restaurant. They got their coffee and they all sat in one of the booths talking.
"So how do you girls like it here?" Ryan asked.
"It's cool. I mean we could have it a lot worse." Natalia said concentrating on her burned tongue more than the conversation.
"How about you Sarah?" He asked her.
"Hey, it puts food on the table." Sarah laughed. Then something hit her. "It's kind of strange that you didn't do interviews though."
Ryan hesitated a minute and then replied, "Megan, the girl that gave you your applications, said that you two seemed like nice girls and we really needed new waitresses." Ryan answered her.
That's still really weird. Sarah thought to herself. She felt like he was lying, but had no proof. If this job wasn't Sarah's only way to get money that wasn't illegal, she would probably quit because of how uneasy she felt around her boss.
They sat and talked for about half an hour before the three other waitresses and the morning crowd began to flood in.
Sarah was running around so much she was almost breaking a sweat. About an hour went by before things began to slow down a bit.
She was waiting for an order at the same time Natalia was and they started talking.
"Wow, this is harder than I thought." Sarah said leaning back on the wall.
"Tell me about it. I'm bringing deodorant in m purse next time." Natalia answered back.
"Yeah, I know!" Sarah laughed. "Hey, isn't that Trisha and David?"
"Yeah! And there's Jareth and Shane!" Natalia yelled. Jareth was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a blue shirt on. The top two buttons were undone showing off his manly chest. "Looks like they are being seated at one of your tables, lucky you!"
"Yeah, lucky me." Sarah said snapping back into reality.
"Come on girls! Back to work! Those trays aren't going to walk themselves!" Ryan said walking past them and winking at Sarah. Natalia didn't notice.
"Come on let's get to it before we get fired." Sarah said walking towards the table that her friends were sitting at.
"Hey lady!" Shane yelled. "You going to take our orders or what?"
When Sarah reached the table she hit Shane on the head with the little notepad.
"That's it! I'm filing a complaint!" Shane said and everyone, including Sarah laughed.
"What do you people want to drink?" Sarah asked.
"I know for a fact that is not what waitresses say to their customers." David said with an evil smirk.
"Are you serious?" She asked annoyed.
"Oh, come on Sarah. Do it for my amusement." Jareth said with a smile.
Sarah sighed and started off her little speech. "Hi, my name is Sarah and I'll be your server today. Can I start you off with something to drink? There, happy?"
Jareth pulled Sarah down on his lap and kissed her. "Now I am."
Sarah got back up and smoothed down her clothes. "If my boss saw that you'd get me fired." She said through gritted teeth.
"I'll have a coke." Shane said attempting to get Sarah back on track.
"Make that two." David said.
"I'll have a water. Trying to lose some weight anyway." Trisha said.
"First of all, why? Second, surprise me." Jareth said with a loving smile up at Sarah. She returned it and walked away to make the drinks.
When she got to the small bar area, she was cornered by Ryan.
"Who is that guy out there?" He asked, hands on hips and a look that could kill.
Sarah looked at him questioningly. "What guy?"
"The blonde guy out there whose lap you were sitting on." Ryan said angrily.
Sarah smiled sweetly. "That's Jareth, he's my fiancé." Sarah said blushing slightly.
Ryan's face showed that he was shocked. "Oh, well, no PDA in my restaurant while you're on the clock, huh?" Ryan said turning around and walking towards the gate that separated the restaurant from the bar area.
Sarah nodded and went to fix the drinks. "Hey, Sarah." Ryan called holding the gate open.
"Yeah?"
"He's a lucky man." He said and walked away. "We'll just have to change that." Ryan said when he was out of hearing range.
Sarah walked back to the table and saw that Natalia was talking to them and David was gone.
"Natalia! Get away from my table!" Sarah yelled playfully. Natalia laughed and so did everyone else at the table.
Sarah was setting Jareth's drink down when it slipped out of her hand.
"FREEZE!" She yelled and the liquid and falling cup froze in place. Sarah quickly gathered all the liquid into the cup and prayed that nobody had seen it. No such luck. Natalia, Shane, and Trisha were looking at her shocked. "Um, guys," she started, "you didn't see that."
"What just happened?" Shane asked a bit nervously.
"Sarah just used her newly discovered magic." Jareth mumbled.
"WHAT?" Natalia yelled.
"Shhh!" Everyone at the table hissed at her.
"How, how did this happen?" Trisha asked.
"I'll explain later, just don't tell anyone okay?" Sarah pleaded.
"Yeah, no problem." Natalia said staring at the cup.
