A week had passed. It was a typical morning in Tampa. Kelsey got up and did everything she normally did with no help from Zack at all. After all that she went to work. They weren't really that busy.
"Kelsey you look exhausted." Brittany said. She worked there also.
"That's what happens when you get up at six in the morning with a two year old."
"You shouldn't have to be the one that always gets up with her."
"I'm her mom." "That's my job."
"It's also Zack's job and what does he do?" "Absolutely nothing, that's what."
"Britt, Zack loves us."
"Right he loves both of you so much that he sits at home while you do everything."
"I know it's difficult to see but he does love us."
"You might as well be raising Angela by yourself."
"Britt."
"When is he finally gonna make a commitment to you?" "I mean you had his baby and he still hasn't asked you to marry him."
"Brittany." "Stop it." She glanced over at her section and saw someone sitting there. "I gotta get that table."
She grabbed a menu and went over to the table.
"Here you go." "John." She said shocked not believing that John Cena was sitting right in front of her.
"Oh hi." "Kelsey, right?"
"Yes."
"This is where you work?"
"Yeah." "What are you doing here?"
"I live here."
"I thought you lived in Massachusetts."
"I grew up there." "I still have a house there but I've lived here for a few years."
"Oh."
"How's your little girl?"
"She's fine."
"How's your boyfriend?"
"He's fine."
"What's his name?"
"Zack."
"You know, even in your work uniform you look beautiful." He said smiling at her.
"Thank you." She said smiling back. She could feel her face burning hot.
"There you go blushing again." "If I didn't know any better I'd say you weren't used to compliments." "If I had a girlfriend like you I'd make sure she knew how much she meant to me."
"That's sweet." She said smiling again. "Oh look how unprofessional I'm being." "I should be taking your order and I'm talking your ear off."
"It's alright I'm enjoying it." He said smirking at her.
"What would you like?"
"Well I'd like something that's not on the menu but it's out of the question anyway." "Which sucks." John looked at her. "If I'm not allowed to have something it makes me want it more."
"Really?" She said knowing exactly what he was talking about. She couldn't believe that just talking to him turned her on so much. Part of her wanted him right then and there.
"Uh-huh." "So I guess I'll just have waffles and coffee."
"Cream or sugar?"
"Cream."
"Ok I'll be right back."
She brought him his coffee then a few minutes later his food. Ten minutes later he went up to the counter to pay his bill.
"Did you enjoy your breakfast?" Kelsey asked.
"Yes I did thank you."
"Come again."
"Oh don't worry I'll be back." "Bye Kelsey."
"Bye John." They smiled at each other. He left.
Kelsey turned around. Brittany was grinning at her.
"What?" Kelsey said.
"He likes you."
"No he doesn't."
"Yes he does and you like him."
"I do not."
"You do to." "I saw you guys talking at his table."
"We may have flirted a little but that's all it was." "Just harmless flirting."
"Yeah, right."
"Come on, you know I love Zack."
Later that night Kelsey was getting ready to put Angela to bed.
"Say night night to daddy Angela." Kelsey said.
"Night night daddy."
"Night night daddy loves you." He kissed her on the cheek.
"Love you daddy." "Daddy put night night."
"You want daddy to put you night night?" Kelsey asked.
"Please daddy."
"Daddy's watching TV right now." Zack said.
"Zack come on, she never asks you to do it." Kelsey said. Zack rolled his eyes as if annoyed.
"Ok, come here Angela." Kelsey handed her to him.
A few hours later Kelsey and Zack were getting ready for bed.
"Kelsey what's wrong?" Zack asked.
"Nothing."
"You know I love you don't you?"
"Of course." "I love you to." "I'm just stressed with work and taking care of Angela."
"Anything I can do to help?" He kissed her. She kissed him back. As they made love Kelsey did something she'd never done before. She was thinking of John the whole time. Hoping that she wouldn't accidentally say his name. Thankfully she didn't."
John was sitting at his house. He was watching TV. His thoughts drifted to Kelsey.
"God what is it about her." John thought. "Why does she have to have a boyfriend?" "She's so damn beautiful." "I could've talked to her all day at the diner." "What I'd give for just one night with her."
