i swung the double doors open, rushing through dodging the tables and chairs when i was stopped in my tracks. i dreaded to look up, there stood my boss his arms crossed tightly over his chest, his eyebrows furrowed i knew what was about to come

"zoe, finally you decide to actually show up" he said with a tint of anger and sarcasm in his voice

"im so sorry i overslep-" he cut me off, turning round and bellowing through the restaurant

"save it zoe, your pay is getting cut down for the month don't you dare turn up late again"

"wait, you can't do that please its not fair!" i shouted but he'd already dissappeared, i sighed walking to the staff room putting my name badge on and the apron around my waist, waiting for the first customers to arrive.

firstly came in an elderly couple, i walked over and gestured the lady to give me her coat to hang up. once id hung it up they ordered what they wanted and i stuck the sticky note pad on the kitchen side so the chefs will begin to cook. after it began to get busier i was ordered to go and get the order from two males on table 6

i walked over to see two males around their mid 20s, who looked strangley familiar as i got closer it clicked who it was. dougie and tom from mcfly i began to get pretty nervous i mean ive never served celebrities before. i took a deep breath in, swept some hair from my facemaking myself look a little more presentable, and walked to their table

"hello what would you like to order?" i said with a breif smile not giving either of them eye contact

"we'll just have spicy chicken wraps" tom said with a smile

"oh sorry sir, we dont sell them anymore" i awkwardly smiled, i saw dougie roll his eyes, let a small sigh out and pulled his phone out

"uh could we have the spaghetti bolognese?"

"im so sorry but we only sell that in the evenings-" before i even got to finish dougie interrupted

"is she trying to be annoying" dougie mumbled under his breath, tom nudged him in the ribs this has to be the most single-handedly embarrassing moment in my life, i felt my cheeks burning up, could the floor swallow me up or something

"i'll just have a coffee and dougie what do you want?" tom said turning to dougie

"a coffee, well thats if she'll say its in" he said with sarcasm, i nodded and rushed away. i was calling him so many names under my breath, what an arsehole, i always prefered tom anyway

i came back with the two mugs of coffee and placed them infront of them, tom perked up and thanked me with a grin dougie said nothing he just stared at his phone blankly

"doug dont be rude" tom said waving his hand infront of his face

"why does she need a thankyou? not like she brought me bars of gold and made me the king of england she brought me a crappy coffee for gods sake" he huffed, well that was unexpected

"i didnt expect one youre just being plain rude" i scowled, then walked away to serve another couple. as i saw they'd finished their coffees well tom did as it wasn't good enough for sir dougie poynter. i picked their mugs up and before i could go tom apologised for dougies attitude making the excuse hes 'having an off day' i just nodded pretending to care

as tom walked out dougie walked back over to me standing uncomfortably close to me, looking down at my name badge and back up to my face making me feel extremely uncomfortable i backed away a little before i spoke up

"do you have a problem" i mumbled

"yes, you surprise surprise have a nice day zoe but make sure the coffees better next time" he smirked before walking out, i was stood speechless he was a prick but something was attracting me to him but hes made it quite clear he dislikes and the feeling is certainly mutual

a good two hours had passed and my shift was over, i made my way home taking my uniform off and running myself a nice hot bath forgetting about the events of today

im not entirely happy with that chapter it was quickly written but i hope it was ok ???

ps i know dougie isnt like that in real life before anyone says :)
