She stops in front of me, "He wants you to serve for some reason,"
I sighed
"Isn't he cute though, the one with the dark hair and blue eyes," she bit her lip taking him in causing me to gag a little
"Could you do me a favor and give this to him," she gave a quick smile, taking a piece of paper from between her boobs
I scorned the piece of paper and opened it by holding the corners of both ends. I see some numbers scribbled across it. Is this her...number? Does she just have these on hand to give to anyone she thinks is cute?
"Sure," I gave an awkward smile and stuck the paper in the pocket of my work outfit
I took a deep breath, plastering a smile on my face. I then proceeded to make my way over to the booth filled with guys
"How can I help you today?" Hopefully it's only today
"What do you have to offer?" he asked, interlacing his finders and resting them on the table
"The menu is right there," I gestured to the menu that literally in front of him
"I see it, but I want to hear from you," he smiled, pushing the menu aside
"The menu is right in front of you," I repeated through gritted teeth
"Are you disobeying the customers order," he smirked
I sighed. As much as I didn't want to tell him I did
"What do you think I should get?" he asked
"A fucking life," I replied without realizing
"What was that?" He placed his index finger behind his ear
"I don't know what you should get but can you hurry up. I have other customers to serve and I don't want my manager to think that i'm slacking off,"
"You have a lot of attitude for such a little body," one of his friends spoke, his voice high pitched. His dirt blonde hair falling into his face. A desperate attempt to look like Curious George over there.
"And you have a squeaky, high pitched voice for such a masculine frame," I shot back
"What did you just say?"
"You sound like a girl," I bent down, leveling myself with him and whispering it to him
He jumps out of his seat, slamming his hand against the table
"If that all I'll be taking my leave," I said satisfied that I've upset at least one of them
"And before I forget, here," I dipped in my pocket for the girls phone number, handing it to Curious George and he takes it with a raised brow. He looks at it then smirked
"You came to your senses," he looked at me
"Oh, that's not mine. That's my co-workers. At least someone is willing to fuck you," I snorted then walked away
"I haven't even ordered yet," he said from the table
"I'll send someone else to take you're order," and I did. I send the oldest waitress I found. Her face wasn't pretty but she's nice I guess
His friends finished eating and left while he stayed back. I saw him glancing at me now and then while I worked.
After my shift ended I called Elizabeth if I could stay over at her house for the night due to my father having friends over today. I dialed her number but phone just rang out.
I went outside looking up into the sky, grey clouds clustered in the sky signalling that it's going to rain soon. I didn't want to take any chances walking to the bus stop without an umbrella or anything to shelter me
"I don't get you," a voice sounds from behind me causing me to yelp
I turned around to see Curious George standing behind me, his car keys spinning around his index finger
"You're not suppose to get me. I don't need you to get me either," I faced away from him dialing Elizabeth's number again
Straight to voicemail
You've got to be kidding me right now. Of all the times for her NOT to pick up her phone this is BY FAR the worst time possible
"Aren't you going home?" he asked
"Aren't you going to leave me alone?" I shot back not bothering to turn around
"Not really. It's kinda fun to get you upset,"
"I'd rather you keep your distance. We hadn't notice each other before so we won't start now. The group you walked in with, each of them are on the football team and judging by your cocky and arrogant attitude I'd say that you're the captain of the team, in other words the ace,"
"Keen aren't you,"
"We live in two different worlds. You get pampered and treated like royalty. Always surrounded by people and 'fans'. you're treated with respect, your parents will probably do anything you ask them to. Everyone adores you. And then you have me," I turned around to face him, gesturing to myself
"What's wrong with you? If I say you're hot then...that's a huge ass complement,"
"Nothing is wrong with me. I'm going home," I said walking in the direction of the bus stop
"Want a lift?" he asked
I scoffed, as if.
"I'm sure you wouldn't want to be seen with someone like me, so no," I started speeding up. One minute he's being a huge jerk and the next he's offering me a drive home. Something suspicious is going on and I don't want to be a part of it
He didn't say anything after I turned down his offer
Within a couple of minutes I was standing at the bus stop
While waiting at the bus stop a crisp black Lamborghini drove up and stopped in front of me, it's windows tinted. The windows rolled down and it was no other than Curious George himself
"I'm convinced that you're stalking me," I folded my arms
"Again, don't flatter yourself. I need to drive this way to get home. Are you sure you don't need a lift,"
"Again, I'm fine. You can leave now,"
"You're loss. You could've been cruising with all of this," he gestured to himself
"Very funny but last I checked monkey's didn't drive. They were normally on spaceships,"
"Was that suppose to be an insult, cause if so it didn't make it,"
"can you just leave already,"
"Aw, you don't have a comeback," he pouted
"And it seems like you don't have a life. Now, for the last time, leave me alone,"
"If that's what you want," he shrugged and winded up his window and drove off
Fucking finally he was going to leave me alone
My phone rang, the name Elizabeth flashing across the screen. I immediately answered
"What took you so long. I called like 20 times," I whisper-yelled
"I'm sorry Char I've been busy and you know that I barely have my phone near me," she spoke from the other end
"Can you pick me up from the bus stop near my work please. Brad has company," I sighed
"Is he serious, he always does this. If you didn't have me where would you sleep, on the damn sidewalk. He's just so...UGH," she lets out a frustrated sigh, "I'll be there in about 9-15 minutes," the line went dead
I really do appreciate what she and her family have done for me. I don't know what i'd do without them, honestly
Over 15 minutes later she rolled up to the bus stop, a smile plastered on her face instantly making me smile too
"You're over the time limit by A LOT of minutes," I got into the car, folding my arms over my chest
"I knew you'd be angry but just so you know i'm late because...," she trailed off reaching into the back seat
"I got us KFC," she wiggled the bag in front of her face and I laughed
"See, this is why I love you," I take the all too familiar paper brown bag from her hands
"Are you sure it's not because i'm your only friend," she said causing me to slap her arm in a playful manner then she laughed and drove off
"So how have you been," She keeps her eyes trained on the road
"Well, I got kicked in the ribs, got beer poured all over me and I got threatened, so quite horrible,"
"Char, I really don't understand why you don't report him to the police or just move in with me. You know my parents won't mind you staying with us,"
"Don't you think I tried. They believe that he wouldn't do anything of the sort because he was a 'good guy' when he worked there and they are still VERY close friends of his. They trust him and he uses that to his advantage. Even mom tried and look where that got her. And besides I told you I don't want anyone getting in danger because of me. You know how he is," I bit into a piece of chicken
I can at least try to drown my sorrows in this delicious chicken
"They're just too lazy to do something about it," I see her knuckles turning white as her grip on the steering wheel tightens
"Liz, calm down,"
"CALM DOWN? YOU'RE BEING ABUSED CAHROLETTE. For Christ sake I can't stay calm for something like that. It's total bullshit. Just move in with me Char, please," she gives me a sympathetic side-way glance
"I really don't want you and your family being drawn into my messed up life. Can we please stop talking about this now," I looked down at my lap and she sighed
We arrived at the all too familiar house house and I was greeted with hugs and kisses as I stepped inside
We ate and caught up on everything then I instantly pass out in the guest room bed
