Back with the new chapter for y'all please let me know what you think
Tommy finally opened his eyes after about 30 minutes of being awake. He still laid in bed and just continued to stare at the popcorn roof in his apartment. He had lost everything after his fight with balboa, he had no savings and had to sell 3/4 of his belongings just to get the place. However with the money he acquired he was able to pay 6 months rent in advance for security, Just trying to give himself some time to find another steady income.
He still stared in quiet thought while also trying To muster the will to get up. It had been over a week since that night at the bar, the name Candace still sat in his mind along with his mental note of her beautiful smile staring at him.
After about another 10 minutes he finally wormed his way off the mattress and headed for the shower. He washed up and got dressed to head out, locking the door behind him.
He walked around town looking out for any help wanted signs or promising gyms to apply at, he was on a job hunt. He still had some money in his pocket but it wouldn't last long.
He had been walking around for almost 2 hours with no luck. He stopped and stared down at his feet for a moment deciding whether to give up for the day or not, before he looked up once more looking up and down the road he stopped at before noticing a hand written help wanted sign in the window of a small diner.
He thought about it for a few moments before putting his feet into gear headed towards the place.
'Doesn't look like a job suited for me but its Better than nothing for now' he thought to himself as he approached the door.
He noticed it how good the food aromas smelled when he opened the door, he was immediately approached upon entering by a young attractive girl who was no older than maybe 19 or 20
"Good morning sir" she said with a smile "would you like a booth or table?" she asked with a cheery attitude
"I'll take a booth please" he replied
"there's one opened up right this way" she said as she began to lead him
he sat down as she handed him a menu and asked what he would like to drink
"I'll take a southern style sweet tea please" he said
"anything else sir?" she asked
"I noticed the help wanted sign in the window are you guys hiring?" he asked hoping for a yes
"We sure are i'll get Diane for you, She's the owner" she said happily before turning and rushing to the kitchen
It wasn't even 10 seconds before an older lady probably in her mid 60s walked out of the kitchen and approached him.
"what's up? Are you looking for a job?" she asked with a bit of a stern look on her face
"I presume you're Diane, I'm Tommy Gunn nice to meet you" Tommy said as he stood up offering her a handshake
She simply stared at his hand with her arms crossed stern look still plastered on her face
" You look a bit too big to be waiting tables, why do you want this job?" she stated more than asked
"Well you see I just moved into town and im just trying to find a job to feed myself" Tommy replied sitting back down
"Tina!" the woman shouted before the young girl from earlier was present again "You think we should add him to the team?" she asked the girl now identified as Tina
"Weeeelll...he does look like a hard worker and staring at him all day wouldn't be so bad either" She said sending him a wink
He flashed her a charming grin before looking back at Diane who just rolled her eyes at the last part
"Ok big fella ill make you bus boy for a little until i see any promise" She finally said "Come in Monday we open at 7 am everyday" she spoke before turning heel back to the kitchen
"Have you decided on anything to eat?" piped up Tina
"Yes'm Ill take the country fried steak with okra please" Tommy said with a smile before handing her his menu
"Sure thing handsome" she said looking at him for a couple seconds before leaving to place the order with a slight blusH
That's one step forward for Tommy 'It'll just be temporary' he thought to himself.
