Double update;))<33

"Liv would you mind taking care of table six for me please?" Nicole asked; Sal's head waitress. Nicole trained me when I first started here, she tried everything to get me fired because at first she didn't like me, but now we love each other.
"Yup." I said hopping off the counter grabbing a note pad. I looked at the numbers of the booths stopping at number six.
"Hi I'm Liv, welcome to Sal's what can I get for you?" I asked mentally patting myself on the back for no stutter. The girl in the leather skirt, with dark eyeshadow and black lipstick replied. "Burger and fries. Be quick I got somewhere to be alright?" She snapped. I nodded taking her menu as long as her friends and walked away giving Sal the piece of paper with her order written on it.
I smiled when 'Put Your Head On My Shoulder,' by Paul Anka blasted through the speakers. I hummed along quietly and thought back to the times when my dad would sing this song to me when I was sad, or had a cold.
He had the most amazing voice that would put me to sleep every time. My mom would hide his guitar to stop him from constantly playing and it was always funny to watch him air guitar it, while singing extra loud just to annoy her. They really were in love.
If I ever find a love like theirs it would be- Ding. Sal rang the bell putting the plate of food on the counter making me jump. You would think I would be used to the sound by now, but I'm still jumpy. I grabbed the plate gently to not burn myself, and put it down at table six.
I learned my lesson after receiving a third degree burn on my left wrist from a pasta plate. The only good part about it is now I have a pretty cool scar that's shaped like Florida.
After a while the only people in the diner were Nicole, Sal, two cooks, a cleaner, the guys at table nine, and myself. I was twirling around while cleaning the tables, and spinning my skirt to the music playing.
I whipped down the last table except for the one the guys were sitting at and dropped the rag in the sink. I jumped back on the counter listening to the guys laughing loudly, and swearing at each other playfully. It makes me nervous that they fight for money.. They could get seriously hurt.
All the guys got up at the same time Sal came out of the kitchen. "Now listen, don't go getting all busted up alright?" Sal said giving the boys all warning looks. The guys shook their heads agreeing and swung their leather over their backs. Ethan ran his busted up hand through his hair fluffing it up in a swoop like always.
He caught me starring and I suddenly looked down hiding my blush and small smile.. I can feel my cheeks getting hotter. I can practically feel him smirking at me. "How's she doing?" Sal asked Grayson. Grayson frowned and shook his head. "She's getting worse." He replied. I furrowed my eyebrows confused. "Don't worry, Lisa.. she's strong." Sal said. Lisa?
"Alright well tell her if your old man ever gets boring I'm always here." Sal said lightening the mood making the guys chuckle. I walked away behind the counter, so I wasn't all up in their business
I hope Lisa is okay.
"E.. don't over due it kid alright, you're young, you got something to live for still, don't go getting yourself killed you hear me?" Sal asked sternly. Ethan nodded his head hesitantly. Killed? What does he do? "Please Sal, I'm invincible." Ethan said but I could tell he wasn't completely confident.
Sal chuckled and patted his shoulder roughly but lovingly. It seems as if he's like a father figure.
"Alright we gotta go if we wanna catch the opening fight." Alex said enthusiastically. "Catch ya later Sal. Bye Soc. Nicole." He said smugly to Nicole. Hmm.
I smiled and waved.
"Bye Liv, ill see you tomorrow." Ethan said. I hoped over the counter quickly then straightened out my skirt that rid up. "I d-don't know what your doing.. but please be c-careful." I said quietly. "Aw you care?" He asked cockily. I smiled. "Maybe a little." I said holding up my hands showing little space in between my thumb and index finger.
"Staro bene principessa.. someone's gotta be the prince in that little head of yours." He said. My smile traveled to my eyes making them crinkle, and my little dimples probably pop out. (Translation: Ill be fine princess..)
He slowly walked backwards sending me a wink. "Bye sweetness." Grayson said. I smiled at that odd nickname, but then again Lee calls me cupcake. "Bye Grayson." I said back. The bell ring again meaning they left and I turned back around tightening my bow getting back to work.
"So you and Ethan huh? Oh yeah! I'm already making t-shirts. You guys are the cutest!" Nicole said excitedly clapping her hands. I giggled and shook my head. "Nope. Just friends." I said swirling around on the bright yellow stool.
"Sugar.. friends don't act like that. Friends don't look at each other like Ethan looks at you. Friends, don't call each other princess." Nicole said a matter-of-faculty with a hand on her hip with an evil smirk.
"What do you mean? My best friend Lee calls me cupcake, we cuddle, we do all the stuff friends do." I said quietly. Frick yeah no stutters. Do I just stutter around Ethan? No. Of course not.
"Okay maybe you're just too innocent to know they are flirting with you. That Lee guy likes you. Ethan likes you. Easy. I'm a genius." She said bluntly. I chuckled shaking my head. "No way." I said continuing to twirl on the stool.
"Well enough about me.. what about you a-and Alex?" I asked in a teasing tone.
"Nothing." She replied quickly, then speed walked to the kitchen. Hmm. Okay? Interesting. Alex and Nicole sitting in a tree.. K . I . S . S . I . N . G... first comes love.. second comes marriage.. third comes a baby in a baby carriage.. I don't know the rest. Is that even it. Oh geez. I must be tired again.

After work Nick picked me up and we headed home. "So any plans tonight?" I asked. Nick shrugged. "Eh, Beverly's busy, Chloe's busy, and Macy's busy.. so I'm not getting laid." He said. I slapped my hands over my ears. "La la la la la.. don't want to hear it. Thank you." I said closing my eyes. He chuckled.
"Nicky?" I asked quietly. He hummed waiting for my question. "What's the r-real reason you don't like the west side kids?" I asked in a whisper. He sighed and gripped the steering wheel, making the leather stretch and squeak.
"I just.. listen. They do drugs, they steal, they break every rule there is a Liv, and I don't want you around them." He said keeping his eyes on the road as we turned down the plowed road. "The ones I know are n-nice." I said. He nodded.
"You trust too easily bubba. Your heart is too big, and that's a good thing and unfortunately a bad thing at the same time." He said. I didn't ask any questions after that. I thought about it for a while.
I watched the snow fall quickly in the light provided from the orange tinted street lights and I closed my eyes suddenly feeling tired. My heart jumped out of my chest when my phone buzzed under my leg. I caught my breath and retrieved my phone turning it on, immediately putting the brightness down.
I got a text from unknown. I felt a feeling wash over me. Fear? No. I just have no motivation what so ever to read whatever nonsense is typed, but I have to. I clicked on the message icon and dreadfully tapped on the contact.
Unknown- Hope we can meet soon, I'm tired of only admiring you from the back. Not that I wouldn't love hitting you from the back.. I would love to see that gorgeous face of yours tho.
Humor me. Do I make you wet? Horny? In the mood? I bet I do. Your innocent little mind goes crazy over me because you've never experienced something like me before. Trust me babygirl.. I can take you to a whole mother world;)
Catch ya later babe
Read. 9:18pm
God. When will it stop?!
"Who's that?" Nick asked. He would kill me.. think I wanted this. "Um no one. Just Delaney needed to know what pages that the math h-homework was o-on." I said then quickly shut off my phone, and looked back out the window.

*Unknown Pov*
I chuckled seeing she left me on read once again. She doesn't know it, but not replying is starting to piss me off. I just want my hands around her waist, hands in her hair, lips on hers, actually lips everywhere on her.
She's gonna be mine.. and I can't fucking wait.
"Yo! You're gonna be late!" My brother said walking in. I nodded grabbing my bag quickly with my stuff in it heading out to the car. Sports is a perfect cover up. I'm just a normal guy. Yeah. Normal.
"Oh Olivia.. enjoy your greasers while you have them.." I muttered to myself then chuckled evilly.
Alright.. I'm starting to scare myself a little bit now..hehe.
