Chapter One.
Third person POV
"Oh shut the fuck up Larry!" A woman, probably in her 20's or so was holding a tray in her hands, putting down the steaming food from the tray onto the wooden table.
"Thank you hottie." The large man sitting at the table flashed her a grin. Tattoos plastered on his muscular arms and disappeared beneath the collar of his black T-shirt, with more ink decorating the side of his neck. He gave her a wink.
The woman didn't even spare him a proper glance. she turned on her heel and walked away, already scanning the restaurant for her next table.
She walked to the back of the kitchen, exhaustion on her face and what she saw next mad with worse. "Larry!"
Larry, her colleague and a good friend. She saw him making out with an unknown guy. Again. Larry pulled away, his lips swollen. "Must you always be the party pooper Audrey?" Larry rolled his eyes at her, getting off on him dusting his body. The other guy coughed too. "I'll see you later." He looked over to Larry who blew him a kiss and walked out of the staff room looking rough handled.
"You were moaning and it was upsetting the customers." She glared at him. "Do it outside!" She pointed to the exit door.
"Okay, okay but you should have seen that man, he was so good at kissing. You should have seen him grinding me against his big dick."
She stopped him. "I don't want to hear your porn story." She walked past him, Larry followed her to the locker room.
"Oh c'mon, I wasn't that loud." She glared. Larry chuckled nervously. "Maybe I was loud but it was worth it though!" Larry pointed out.
"I just pray you don't get STI'S." Audrey told him, removing the apron from her body. Her shift was finally over and that was the best thing that could happen.
"Larry!" A voice from outside called. "Nice chit-chatting with you." He blew a kiss to Audrey then walked out from the locker room.
Audrey watched him as he walked out. She shook her head and proceeded to open her locker. She couldn't wait to leave this grimy place. She hated her job. Not because of money but the customers-loud, aggressive, annoying and domicile to outlaws motorcycle gangs but she had no choice.
"Finally," she murmured to herself with a smile as she started down the sidewalk. She inhaled the cool evening air. It wasn't much fresher than the stale atmosphere inside, but at least she was finally off the clock.
She slipped one earbud into her ear and tapped her phone. A moment later, Beyoncé's "All Night" filled her ear, Beyonce's voice hummed softly through the earbud as she continued walking.
From a distance, she could see the bus stop was already crowded with people waiting for the next bus. She increased her speed to reach the bus stop. Soon, she joined the crowd and waited like the rest.
A notification interrupted her song, checking, it was a message from Nori, her friend.
Nori: Are you busy?
