True Colors

Chapter one

I grabbed the two cups and headed over to table seven.

"A water for you" I handed Linda her drink "and orange juice for you. I hope that'll do, it's natural sugar and I freshly squeezed it just for you!" I handed Jim his drink.

"Thank you again" Linda thanked me again.

"No problem! I'll be back with your orders" I smiled at them.

I made my way back to the kitchen and killed time by counting the utensils as I waited for their food.

147 spoons, 147 forks, 150 bread knives.

150 knives? What the hell, where did 3 extra knives come from??

As I was writing down the total amount of utensils I heard a ding from the kitchen letting me know the food was ready.

I grabbed both plates and I looked down at the food, trying to calmly make my way to the table and setting the food down without dropping them. It's happened before.

"Here is your food, hope you enjoy" I looked up to smile at both Linda and Jim, but wow did God have other plans for me.

     My eyes instantly connected with honey brown eyes. In front of me, sitting between Linda and Jim, sat the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my entire life. His light brown hair was slick back. In the sun it looked like different shades of brown and blonde. He was wearing a blue suit that also looked as expensive as the bracelets Linda has wrapped around her wrists. He had beautifully shaped pink lips.

I once read online that the color of a man's lips is the same color as his dic-.

I blinked a couple times to bring myself back to life. No way in heaven and hell can he be real! For goodness sake he looked like a God himself.

He immediately looked away while clenching and unclenching his jaw. I tore my gaze away from him and looked at Linda and Jim and smiled. I turned on my heals, but before I could go back behind the counter and try to sneak glances at this beautiful creation.

"Wait dear" I turned back around and forced a smile.

Linda please let me go. I need to go hide and creepily stare at him goddamn it!

"Justin, aren't you going to order something?" Linda turned to God.

"I want a glass of water" he was furiously typing on his phone.

"Is that it?" I asked.

He ignored me "That'll be all dear" Linda answered for him.

This is your last table Amethyst.

I took a 5 minute bathroom break. I went into the bathroom to wash my hands and fix my hair.

To say I looked like shit, was an understatement. I had horrible eye bags and my hair was a little messy. I pulled my hair in a high ponytail, then I cleaned my face a bit with a wet paper towel and then made my way back to the kitchen to grab the Angel's water.

Wait why did I take a break in the middle of getting this man's water??

I walked over to their table and sat the water down, smiled at all of them and made my way back to the counter to check over the inventory of food.

As of three months ago, Curtis named me manager. It wasn't much of a big deal other than I earn five dollars more. It was a big leap in my paycheck considering I lived alone.

I decided to continue school and let me tell you, college is not cheap. Especially for a nineteen year old girl with no financial support whatsoever. I've always wanted to be a nurse or maybe a doctor. All I know is that I wanted to be around hospitals as morbid as it sounds, after my parents passed away I always wanted to help sick people. I wanted to help people in need.

After half an hour later, I saw Jim call me over. I put down the paper of where I kept the records of the food we needed to stock up on.

"We want the check. My grandson, Justin is paying." Jim said standing up at the same time as Linda. They both smiled at me.

"It was a pleasure having you as our waitress. It was also a pleasure to meet you" Linda shook my hand and gave me a warm smile.

"Like wise" I gave her an honest smile.

I made my way back to the the cash register and add up the bill to give to beautiful man.

I walked over to him, he was already standing by the table typing away at his phone.

I stood in front of him and handed him the bill. He shoved his phone back into his pocket and grabbed the bill. Without even looking at it, he pulled out two hundred dollar bills and handed them to me.

"It's not that much-" I started to speak, but before I could finish he cut me off.

"Keep the change. Buy yourself a new shirt." He spoke, his breath smelled of fresh mint and lavender.

He gazed at my breasts and instantly walked out without a second glance back.

I stood stunned, I didn't know what to do I just watched him get into his expensive car.

My legs wanted to give out, my face was getting hot, and it was getting difficult to breath. I watched him go.

What a fucking day.
