"Don't be nervous [Name]-chan!" Momoi gave you a pat on the back as she noticed your anxiety, "You'll do great!"

[Name] merely gave her a small smile before taking in deep breaths. She wasn't sure of how to act. Seeing how Momoi didn't do such a great job in calming her down, she gave the nervous girl a smile.

"How about you just watch me while I take care of the first few customers?" Momoi suggested and [Name] nodded vigorously as a sigh of relief escaped her lips.

Watching Momoi welcome the customers along with the other waitress, Luka and mentally took notes. [Name] noticed that most of the people that came to the cafe were male.

She rolled her eyes, of course. They probably just wanted to see girls wearing short maid outfits serving them. Boys.

"Welcome home, master~" [Name] heard Momoi cheer and she let out a little snort. It would most definitely be embarrassing if someone [Name] knew walked in and she had to say those words.

She could only pray her first day would go well.

"[Name]-chan, do you want to take care of the next customer that comes in?" Momi asked.

[Name] nodded and got up off her stool, stopping herself at the entrance and waited for the next customer. The sound of the bell ringing whenever the door opened was soon heard and [Name] mustered up the cutest smile she could as she turned to face the customer.

"Welcome home, master!" [Name] bowed.

"[Name]?"

Said girl froze once she heard his name. [Name]'s head looked up to find Rakuzan's captain smirking down at her. They had both gone to Teiko, which was how the two knew each other. [Name] gulped.

"A-Akashi-kun," [Name] stuttered, "What are you doing here?"

"Now is that how you talk to your master, [Name]?" Akashi asked her. She knew he was teasing her. He probably found it amusing that [Name] somehow landed herself this job.

"Right," [Name] laughed nervously, "Follow me, m-master!"

Great. So much for hoping no one she knew would walk in.

[Name] handed Akashi a menu once he sat down. "What would you like to order, master?" How she wished she could stay back at the counter, not interacting with the customers.

"Just coffee," Akashi replied, continuing to smirk at the girl, clearly knowing that he was making her uncomfortable.

"H-Hai," [Name] quickly scurried off. Shortly, she returned with his coffee and she swore she heard the captain chuckle once he received his coffee.

Looking down at the cup, [Name] noticed there was a heart drawn with cream on in his coffee. She could murder Momoi.

"Is there anything else?" [Name] asked timidly, wanting to escape his eyes as soon as possible. Akashi shook his head and [Name] left him to himself.

She was glad that he didn't call her for the rest of the time he stayed there but as she attended to other customers, [Name] could feel his eyes following her.

It wasn't until a couple of hours later that Akashi decided to leave.

"Thank you for coming, master. I hope to see you soon!" [Name] forced the words out.

Akashi let out a small chuckle as he smirked, "We'll definitely be seeing each other again very soon, [Name]"

Once he left, [Name] turned around and sighed. "Hey, what are you laughing about?" She asked, noticing that Momoi and Luka were both giggling.

"He seemed pretty interested in you, [Name]-chan," Luka grinned, "Maybe he has a crush on you"

"W-What? Don't be absurd," [Name] blushed in embarrassment, "Of course he doesn't have a crush on me! He just wants to embarrass me!"

"Do you like Akashi-kun, [Name]-chan?" Momoi asked.

"S-Shut up!"

Hopefully, the next day would be better.
