***Anna's p.o.v

I woke up from my dreamless slumber and looked around my phone alarm clock was ringing in my ear which was what woke me up in the first place

I groaned and let my head fall back into the pillow 6:30 what a horrid time to be awake.

I stood up walking to my bathroom mirror and brushing threw my tangled hair and then put a thin layer of eye liner on and some mascara then walked out and to my closet pulling out a pair of ripped old skinny jeans and a black sweatshirt pulling my pants on and throwing the sweatshirt on over my tank top

I grabbed my phone checking the time and seeing that I'm late I ran and grabbed my bag from the stand and walking out the door locking it on the way out

I skipped down the creaky stairs taking two at a time then finally making it to my car

I jumped in sticking the key in and starting it, it made that funny sound as it tried to start up, scaring me in the process, then it roared to life and I backed out speeding off to the diner

Once I got there I pushed throught the door and ran into the back

"Sorry I'm late!" I screamed to Stan who was the diners owner and my boss but he was the nicest person you could ever meet! Hes been like my uncle ever since I started working here two years ago

"Yeah, yeah I've heard that one before" he said chuckling

"Yeah and I'm sure you will again" I threw back throwing my hair into a messy bun and whipping my apron on then heading out to wait tables

I walked out and towards an old guy who was sitting in the corner sitting alone looking out the wide window

I smiled warmly as he looked over towards me, he returned the smile and his eyes slightly twinkled as I stopped at his table

"Hello, my name is Anna and I will be your waitress this morning. Would you like to start off with a drink?" I asked placing a menu down in front of him

He smiled "yeah I'll take a coffee no sugar and a dash of cream" he said glancing out the window again

"Its a beautiful view isn't it?" I said looking out onto the ocean

I really really really loved the ocean, it inspired me so much... It's like no matter how many times the waves are pulled away from the shore, they always push forward and try again.. I don't know call me a freak but I really love how dedicated it is..

"Yeah it really is" he said snapping me out of my thoughts " I like the ocean" he said lightly almost as if he was saying it to himself

I smiled a little "alright I'll give you some time to look over the menu and I'll be right back with your coffee" I said walking to the counter and pouring coffee into a small white mug that I had pulled out from the cupboard underneath

I splashed a bit of milk into the bottom of the cup then poured the coffee over top then slightly stirred and brought it back over to the old man

He smiled "here is your coffee no sugar a dash of cream" I said a smile making its way to my face " are you interested in our ham and cheese omelet, with hash browns and bacon served with a side of toast, or farm fresh omelet which is a vegetarian omelet? There our specials this morning?" I asked him the mandatory questions

He looked at me "I'm not sure what do you recommend?" He asked

I smiled down at him " I've heard the farm fresh omelet is good but personally, I like the ham and cheese omelet because the ham is amazing"
