Angel Stephanie Cane

I had the quickest shower ever in history. Slipping in my white shirt and covered it with a grey sweater with my jeans. I finished my outfit with my boots.  Letting my brown hair down, I didn't even bother to put some make up because I'm already running late for my work as a waitress at a popular cafe. I quickly grabbed my purse and sprang out of my apartment.

This is bad, really really bad. I'm running late because of a stupid hangover. Even worse I punched someone, thinking he's Jason, Cass' butt hole of a boyfriend, I mean ex boyfriend. Cass called me this morning and narrated last evening's accident. Ugh! It's so frustrating. I don't even know him, not even his name. I practically embarrassed myself in front of a crowd. Stupid Ang! Stupid, stupid! Well, it's my first time clubbing and I already made myself look so stupid.

I run towards the bus stop. I'm lucky it's only a ten minutes drive or else I'll be fired during my first week. I quickly jumped off the bus and made my way inside the cafe I'm working in. I slipped out my clothes and wore my working clothes consisting of a black fitted blouse which fitted me perfectly with a matching black skirt ending at mid-thigh.

"Good morning Mrs. Peters. How's your date last evening?" I asked. You see, Mrs. Peters is a 70 years old woman who is the owner of the cafe with her husband Mr. Peters. They are already married for forty six years and they still love each other so much and yesterday was their anniversary. They are so sweet even when they're already married for years. They accepted me like their daughter and they're taking care of me. I just started working here when one waitress resigned because her due date is in this month.

Mrs. Peters laughed catching some attention from the customers. I looked at her and smiled warmly because of her childishness.

"Oh dear, you're exaggerating but I must say, it's wonderful. He brought me to the place where we had our first date. He's so thoughtful." She said with a dreamy sigh. I giggled at her , acting like a lovesick teenager. Well I can't blame her. Mr. Peters is a wonderful husband. Even though they haven't been blessed by a child, their relationship is still strong, even stronger.

"Alright, alright. I'll start working now. They might think, I'm your favorite. But that's true, sooo......" I trailed off while putting my name tag.

"Oh shut up, Ang!" She said with a laugh and slightly slap my ass playfully. I giggled again as I made my way towards table 3. I looked at the family in front of me with a smile plastered on my face. I notice that the baby which is about two years old had been crying.

"Can I take your order, Ma'am, Sir?" I said politely still smiling as I waved my hand at the baby and he slightly giggled while sucking his finger. My smile widened when he stopped crying and turned his attention at me, trying to make me notice him.

"Goodness! My baby likes you. What can you recommend for us to eat?" She said. I recommended to her our special and she ordered that with pancakes for the baby and coffee for the father. I quickly wrote down their orders and left to give their orders.

I watched as customers come in and get out. It's already been three hours of working and I'm beyond exhausted. It's been three hours of walking back and forth, taking orders and delivering them. My feet are killing me. It hurts like crazy. Gosh, how it feels to have a hot bath, soothing my skin.

My daydreaming was interrupted when the bell rang indicating an arrival of customers. I mentally groaned, I'm already exhausted and they decided to show up. I looked at the three men that went in and I instantly noticed their aura. Dominating and powerful, makes me want to go hide, even a full grown man would pee them himself. In looked up and instantly met a heated gaze from the man in front, looks like the boss, I shivered from the intensity of his gaze. I examined him and gosh, he's so handsome with a messy hair, chocolate brown eyes, perfect and tall nose with his full lips together with a strong jaw. I gasped when I saw him smirked with an arrogant look, I blushed a shade of red when he noticed me checking him out. I quickly ran towards the counter and made myself busy.
