you had just clocked in for your shift at the local montréal restaurant you worked at.
in no way did you want to be there at all that night, you had had a hard day at university and all you wanted to do was sleep, but you had to work.
"y/n can you take the big group of boys at the table by the window?" the restaurant manager asked you.
you sighed, but nodded your head. the last thing you wanted to do was wait a bunch of boys who usually ended up hitting on you. hopefully they tipped well.
"hi welcome to r/n. i'm y/n. what can i get started for you?" you asked in a fake peppiness.
all of them went around the table and ordered their drinks.
you saw that one of the younger looking guys lean into his friend's ear to say something.
you smiled and went to fetch their drinks. you took the tray of drinks back to the table and gave them all their cups.
"are you guys ready to order or do you need a few more minutes?" you asked.
"we're ready." one of the older guys announced, "kk, you can start."
the boy that had been whispering to his friend lifted up his head from his menu.
you felt your mouth almost drop open. he was absolutely adorable and god awful handsome. you composed yourself and smiled at him, preparing yourself to listen to his order.
"um can i just have the chicken tenders please?" he asked timidly.
you could tell he wasn't from here. maybe a finnish accent.
you nodded and quickly jotted it down on your notepad.
you took the whole table's order, "that should be out soon." you said.
before leaving, you got a last glance at the maybe finnish boy. you found that his glance was on you too. your cheeks flushed and he looked quickly back down at the table.
"there's a really cute boy at the table i'm waiting arya." you whispered to your work bestfriend.
"really?" arya asked surprised, "where?"
"arya! they're right there!" you whisper-yelled.
"where?" she said back to you.
you groaned and subtly pointed at the large table of boys.
"oh!" arya said and her eyes widened, "which one do you like?"
"um the brunet that is laughing right now." you said, peeking at the table.
"oh, he's kinda cute." she nodded, "get his number y/n."
arya pushed you lightly in the direction of the table.
"no arya!" you exclaimed, "what if he says no?"
"i doubt he would say no considering he is staring over here right now." arya said.
"are you serious?" you asked in a quiet yell.
arya nodded, "i think he thinks you're pretty."
you shook your head, "i'll see if he makes the first move." you said and walked away to serve the table their food.
"and the chicken tenders." you said and set down the plate next to the cute brunet boy.
you heard him mumble something out.
"i'm sorry, could you say that again please? i couldn't hear you." you asked apologetically.
"sorry jesperi's shy." the boy sitting next to the him laughed.
so that was his name, jesperi.
you saw jesperi's cheeks began to grow red and he hit his friend lightly under the table.
"i think he wants ketchup?" jesperi's friend asked him.
jesperi nodded with a small smile.
"i'll be right back with that." you said and rushed to get him his ketchup.
"his name is jesperi." you whisper-yelled to arya as you passed her on the way to the ketchup.
you placed the ketchup next to jesperi on the table, "there you go. anyone need anything else?"
everyone shook their head, "thank you." jesperi said quietly with a smile.
you nodded and smiled back before going to serve other tables.
"hey." someone said from behind you.
you turned around to see the boy that was sitting next to jesperi at the big table.
"hi." you smiled.
"um he's too shy to do it, but my friend that was sitting next to me, his name is jesperi. he thinks you're really beautiful and he was wondering if he could have your number." he said, "oh i'm victor, by the way."
you smiled and once again you felt your cheeks heat up, "really?" you asked, "um tell him i think he's cute too and..."
you pulled the pen out from your apron and wrote your name and number down on a napkin, "give this to him, would you?"
victor smiled and nodded, "thank you so much. he's gonna be so happy."
"i'll be expecting a call from him then." you said.
"oh the way he was ranting about how pretty you were all night, i'm sure you'll be getting one." victor called out while he was walking away.
you felt yourself blush for what felt like the 8th time tonight.
maybe work didn't have to be as bad as you thought.
1 month later
"will you be my girlfriend?" jesperi asks with a bouquet of flowers in his arms.
