Thou Shalt Not Kill (The Lost Boys; David x Chubby OC)

Around Town

      I woke up to the sunlight warming my face, and then looked at my watch. It was late, I only had an hour to get ready for work. I ran to the bathroom and took a shower, I didn't have time to fix my hair so I threw it up in a bun and wrapped it with some silky black ribbon that matched my dress for tonight. I just put on the basic make-up and grabbed a muffin to eat on the way. I ran inside straight to the bathroom and fixed my bangs to cover my scars. Tonight, would probably be slow since everyone was recovering from their hangovers. I went down stairs, Samantha had a few people in her area and was waiting on them. Bradley was the barkeep tonight and nodded over at me, "The natural look is totally in right now babe. You look stunning." I laughed, Bradley was the greatest gay guy I had ever met. He reminded me of my uncle a lot, I think that's why we work together so well. Bradley and I had been discussing new menu items for the coming spring menu change, when Samantha came over to the bar, "Sage," I looked up from writing, "You have a table waiting." I scrunched my eyebrows together and looked up at a table of four. A man, woman and two kids. I raised an eyebrow, we did allow kids until 8pm but it was still weird.

     I smiled at the lady as I walked over, "Good Evening, my name is Sage, and I'll be your waitress this evening. What can I get you?" She smiled and very warmly replied, "I'll just have a glass of your best red wine and the house salad." I looked at the kids next, well one kid and the other was a teenager. The younger replied first, "I'll have the mac and cheese with a glass of milk please." He smiled at me and then looked up at this brother, "Sam, I don't think she's ugly at all like Marko said." Sam gave him a look to shut up and looked over at me. I must have looked hurt because the first thing out of his mouth was, "I'm sorry Sage, and he shouldn't have said that." I smiled, "It's okay, what would you like?" he shrugged, "What's good here?" I chuckled, "Really and honestly...the roasted chicken is great!" He smiled, "I'll have that then, with water." I nodded and turned to the father, "He smiled comfortingly, "Well, you definitely aren't what I expected after hearing about you all day." I raised an eyebrow, "Oh...I'm sorry to disappoint." He chuckled, "oh no, you miss understand, I'm actually quite impressed." I smiled uncomfortably and waited for him to continue, "Well, I'll also have the roast chicken dinner with a nice glass of white wine."

     When I came back to the bar with their order I gave Bradley a come with me to the Kitchen nod. As soon as we got back there and gave Mitch the order I spoke, "So apparently super-hot guys are related to that little family out there. They talked about me all day long, about how ugly I am or something. The little kid said he didn't think I was ugly at all." They looked at each other and then back at me, "Weird..." The cooks were almost done with the hot dishes so Bradley started plating the salad, "Well, at least you know you make an impression." I chuckled, "Well the dad said he was 'impressed', whatever the hell that means." I took the plates out with a smile and placed them upon the table accordingly, "Is there anything else I can get for you?" I tilted my head to the side and waited. The father took a sip of his wine and looked up into my eyes, "Yes, how long have you lived here, Sage?" I tried to think back to the exact date, "Oh, about a year now, I believe. Why do you ask?" The lady smiled and wiped her mouth, "We were hoping you could tell us about the best schools around here, I need to get the youngest boys enrolled." I nodded and smiled, "Well Bradley might be able to help you there, I think he has lived here his whole life. Let me just go get him for you." She smiled a thank you as I turned to leave. I sent Bradley over to talk about school districts and tended to the customers at the bar itself.

    Right when they were about to leave the father walked up as the gang walked in, "Look, Sage, if my older boys cause any trouble, any at all, you just let me know. I'm Max, just give me a call." He gave me a card and left. The mother turned and waved a slight goodbye. I nodded back, how weird this day was turning out to be. The older boys had decided to sit at the same table from last night. I made my way over to them and noticed Sam had stayed, I looked at my watch it was 6pm. I pointed at him, "Sam you must leave in a few hours, okay?" He frowned, "How come?" I replied, "Well at 8 we turn into an adult's only club." He frowned but nodded. "As for the rest of the table, what can I get you?" I looked at them all individually awaiting a response. Star spoke up first, "We were wondering if you could take the night off and show us around town." I gasped, "oh, well that can't happen. I barely make enough as it is so calling in for the evening is not an option." I hesitated, "But...I am off tomorrow night, if you want to meet somewhere I could show you around then." Stars face brightened up, "That'd be great!" I smiled, I have a feeling being the only girl gets lonely. The rest of the group promptly began ordering drinks since plans had been changed.
