Where there's a will, there's a fake girlfriend

Table 6

Mal's POV

Have you ever loved someone so much that you feel like you can't live with out them? As if your whole world would come tumbling down if they weren't by your side? Well, me neither.

I'm 22 and never been kissed. Never been anyone's crush. Never been anyone's girlfriend. Certainly never been in love. Although I did hold hands with a boy once. Granted we were in year 2 and we were playing ring a ring o' roses, but nonetheless our palms did touch and our fingers were intertwined.

Must be quite nice to be loved , or even liked. Have someone care for you more than they care for themselves. I have my parents I guess but I can't exactly date them can I. Or I guess I have my friend Jackson, who is never getting out of the friend zone by the way. We met at work about a year ago and for as long as I can remember, he's had a massive crush on me. Can't really understand why but to each their own I guess.

"Mal? Mal? MAL!"

Was someone calling me?

"Mal, stop daydreaming and go serve the customer at table 6 please."

Oh it was just Tom my boss. Did I mention I'm at work right now thinking this deeply about my love life? I work at this adorable family owned restaurant near my house and the owners are like my second parents.

"Sorry Tom. Yeah I'm on it."

As I make my way over to table 6 I notice a guy around his mid 20s with dark black hair and a leather jacket. Strange because mostly old people and families come into this place and hardly ever alone. As I get closer, I get hit with a waft of manly cologne and that natural boy stink that all guys seem to have.

"Hi my name is Mal and I'll be your waitress today what can I get you sir."

Well I just about died and went to heaven. This boy, no this god, is staring into my soul right now with the most mesmerising blue eyes I have ever seen. How am I meant to serve him without melting into a puddle or dropping all the dishes?

"Nothing yet."

Wow even his voice is so manly. So husky and deep that when he spoke I felt it tremble throughout my body. Why am I acting so thirsty right now? Pull it together for fucks sake.

"Although my date should be arriving soon so check back a bit later."

Ok so tell me how I've never had a relationship and I've only met this boy for 10 seconds yet I already know what ultimate heartbreak feels like. Of course someone as fine as him would have a girlfriend. Oh my god Mal keep dreaming.

I quickly make my way back to the kitchen to recollect my thoughts. To be honest I'm surprised my legs even worked seeing as I was actually dying out there.

"Hey Mal you ok? You seem a bit flustered. You're not ill or anything are you? If you are tell me and I'll drive you straight home. Or do you feel sick? Let me get you something to help. Or are you-"

"Jackson. Honestly, I am completely fine. Just calm down and stop running around like a headless chicken."

"Ha, sorry I just got worried there for a second. Well if you do need anything you know I'm always here for you."

Ughhh why must you be so sweet? What is wrong with me? Jackson is a great guy and he likes me so why can't I like him back? I mean he's really good looking because I always see girls trying to catch his attention when he walks by but he doesn't even bat a perfect long eyelash at them. He's incredibly smart, studying medicine at Oxford. MEDICINE. OXFORD. My dumb Asian ass could never. And he even has the body of an Abercrombie and Fitch model (which I won't lie did get me extremely flustered when we went to the beach that one time.)

"Mal are you even listening to me right now?"

Oh crap was I daydreaming again?

"Sorry I was just lost in thought what did you say?"

"I was saying that maybe... if your kinda... sorta... free this weekend then we could maybe... kinda... sorta go to the cinema?"

"What, together? Like a date?"

"Maybe...? Kinda...? If you want it to be."

Crap this is so awkward, what the fuck do I say? God please I have been a good girl my whole life please if you love me save me.

"Mal the gentleman at table 6 is ready for you to take his order now."

Did that really just happen? Thank god I can escape this awkward situation. I quickly make my way to the Greek Adonis' table.

"Hi sir are you ready to order now."

Wow this girl is attractive. Blond hair and blue eyes with big boobs and an amazing body. Cliche much? Of course that would be his type.

"Yes I'll have the fillet mignon and she will have the caesar salad with dressing on the side. For drinks bring us your most expensive bottle of wine."

Wow he must be rich because we're about the same age yet buying a McDonald's meal is a stretch for me.

"Right away sir."

And with that I was finally back in the real world.
