( 5:15 am Four Seasons Mall)
We walked in altogether and sat down on the given table, We were five people. Me, Toby, Jeff, LJ and Candypop, Jack wasnt here cause his shift isn't over yet, Toby, me and Jeff sat on one side of the table- with me between them and LJ and Candy pop sat on the opposite side, The female waiteress Lu Lu left after giving us each an menu, Jeff looked at the menu and sighed "Jack would really enjoy these..." I picked up the menu and stared at the different types steaks they had, yea...Jack would love these, espeacially raw- There were mostly Australian food...since this is an Australian steak house anyway- "So what do you guys wanna get? I'll pay" LJ placed his menu down, "You-u s-s-sure you-u wanna-a pa-pay LJ? I-I mean I c-can pay-y" Toby suggested, LJ shook his head "Nono on me on me, now pick~" Toby snickered before holding up the menu infront of him again, I leant over him checking what he was looking at "you like steak too?" I asked Toby, he was in the steak page, for someone soo soft and cute plus a person who loves waffles I didn't really think he'd like steak- Toby nodded and passed the menu to me even though I already have one on the table, I looked at it "um... I dunno if I cant finish one of these by myself, I saw in the internet that they're kinda bigg" I told Toby, Toby chuckled "Well-l w-we can-n share o-one if you w-want" I looked at the menu once again and sighed, I handed it back to Toby "then pick for me" Toby looked at it then giggled, I watched him laugh softly "whats so funny?" Toby glanced at me before showing me the menu but in a different page "C-chu wanna-a k-kids meal B-benny?" I blushed and hit Toby on the shoulders, probably not gentally but he couldn't feel it anyway "N-no i don't want a kids meal shut upp" I crossed my arms together "Hmph" Jeff heard what Toby said and giggled as well, Toby felt bad and kissed me on the head "O-ok sorry-y love, I w-was only m-m-messing with chu-u, I'm gonna order Rib steak-k a-a-alright?" I glanced at toby without turning my head to him, I nodded "I want a mango shake too" I added, Toby chuckled "alright" It took the others to pick their orders a while-
Jeff called a waitress over, a girl with brown hair walked over, Toby saw her walking over and gulped, I looked at Toby "Toby what's wrong?" Toby pulled his sweater up a little and slides his body down a bit while hiding behind me, uh? Did he know this girl? The girl turned to us and sighed "Jane told me you fuckers were here, what the fuck do you want?" The waitress asked, Just going to describe their uniforms a bit, they wore short red shorts and had their top tide up high like a croptop, some of them were pretty muscular and had abs showing...which kinda made me embarrassed, but the others didn't seem to mind, most of the waiters in Femboy Hooters were more in slim and had a lady like shape while the females here look like they could break your fucking spine... "Woah there cowgirl, slow downnnn, take your time" Jeff gave the waitress a smug smile, The waiterss seemed to be triggered by something Jeff said, she took a deep breath and shook her head "Tell me what you want so I don't have to stand here looking at you faggots any longer" LJ and Candypop gasps "Excuse me? See who's talking natalie" LJ hissed, The waitress rolled her one emerald green eye, her other eye seemed to have a still working watch in it- she has stitches across her mouth to her cheeks "Hey Its Clockwork for you ,Lets just keep this professional between us and tell me your dam order already" Clockwork argued back, Jeff chuckled and told her our orders, She followed every word and wrote it down really fast, she seemed to take her Job very serious, Toby was still behind me trying to hide himself for some reason, What was wrong? "you know your nickname uh I mean stage name really suits you-" Jeff says after telling her the orders, Clockwork looks at Jeff not knowing how to response "uh thanks, says who?" Jeff shrugged "you think so too right Toby?" Toby froze once he heard his name being called out "Toby's here?" Clockword sounded surprised and mad, I glanced at Toby as he remain silent and not moving and inch, Jeff turned to me and looked behind "Toby?", Toby lift his head "H-Hi" He waved awkwardly at Clockwork, I looked at both of them confused, Clockwork only stared at Toby dead in the eyes before walking away-
Jeff turned to Toby "Oh shit dude I'm sorry" Toby laughed "Its-s fine its f-fine", "You nearly got us in trouble" Candypop told Jeff, Jeff snickered "It was funny though" LJ chuckled "yea it was, good one Jeff, I took my phone out and started scrolling through social media agian, I leant on Toby as I did so, His sweater is always so comfy and soft "Toby who was that girl?" I asked, "Oh her-r? y-yea um s-she's m-m-my ex" Toby said like it was nothing, he was just hiding from her just awhile ago...I placed my phone down and looked at him "Then what were you hiding for?" I asked, Toby chuckled awkwardly "She k-kinda...hate-es m-my g-guts" He response while scratching tha back of his bed, I tilted my head "why?" Jeff giggled "Toby dumped Natalie so hard, I can't believe I almost felt bad fo her" Jeff cuts in, Toby huffed "S-she wasn't s-s-so bad..." Toby tells Jeff, Jeff coughed "Not bad??Toby your too pure for that whore, She's literally a Narcissist, and a fat ass gold digger, I don't get why you haven't seen that already" Jeff crossed his arms and looked at Toby worried, Toby chuckled awkwardly "W-well...she w-was p-pretty-y cool an-" LJ cuts in "Nononooo honey no, I seen your face when both of you were dating, you looked tired all the time sweetie" Toby looked at me then back at them "Well T-that was i-in the-e past-t" Toby smiled, Candypop giggled "Yes Ben is such an adorable person, and so much better" I blushed at the compliment, Toby chuckled "Ye-yea he-e is", "What about in bed Toby? does he look cute as well?" LJ raised one of his eyebrow and smirked at both of us, Candypop hit LJ gentally on his shoulder "We are in public!" Candypop hissed, I bite my lip rethinking about LJ's question, I looked up at Toby as he winked at me- lfhlfhklafqkdfhiywegflid (The sound of someone having a gay panic)
The others started chatting again, I watched as a familiar guy walks past our table, my eyes followed the guy...OH ITS HOODIE, "Ben what is it?" Jeff asks, I sat back down "hahaha nothing" I awkwardly laughed, LJ smiled "So Ben~ Have you ever had a boyfriend before? or girlfriend?" LJ questioned, Toby snickered "Of course-e e-e-everyone at l-" I chuckled and shook my head "No I haven't" Toby looked at me surprised "R-really!? I-impossible-e you-your adorable" Jeff giggled "Yea you are", I smiled awkwardly "Yea...No I haven't been in a single relationship before" Toby gasps "So a-am I y-your first-t???" I giggled "yup" I nodded, He hugged me "yessss-s" I blushed "You were also my first kiss..." I added, Toby pulled back "I-I AM???' even Candypop looked surprised "You haven't played spin the bottle and kissed anyone before??" He asked, I shook my head "I never been to a party before", everyone now were all shocked, I giggled at their faces "What else haven't you done yet dude?" Jeff asked, I thought for awhile "I haven't done alot of things I guess...ummm- I haven't ha-" again I didn't get to finish my sentence "D-does it m-mean-n you-your still a v-virgin????" Toby asked out of no where, LJ laughed "Toby you look and sound very desperate", Toby ignored him, I nodded my head awkwardly, Jeff raised both his eyebrows "OOoo so we're hanging out with a virgin?" Jeff teased, I blushed, wait....was I the only virgin here??? I looked at everyone in the table staring at me now, I looked at Toby, you've got be kidding me...what is he thinking of? Toby was covering his mouth, probably wanting to hide his blushing grin, "Well If your a virgin, that'll explain why you always look so red" LJ chuckled, no LJ that did not make sense at all, "But you do play with yourself right?" LJ asked me with a straight face, I blushed even harder, how can they talk about something like this so casually?? "It's not embarrassing Ben, its normal, but we won't talk about it if your no comfortable heh" Jeff snickered, I sighed in relief- The same waitress named Clockwork walks over "Here's your beverages" She placed the drinks on the table and left, Toby looked away from her as she walked to and away from us, I looked at him- I don't have a single idea what do I need to do to be honest, helping a boyfriend overcome their toxic ex? I don't even know how to start a normal conversation with a girl! I picked up my mango shake and held it in front of him "want...drink?" I asked awkwardly, Toby looked at me then the drink, he giggled and nodded before sipping the shake, he seemed to look cheered up, but this is Toby we're talking about- "Soooo Ben, I've been meaning to ask you, have you picked a stage name for yourself yet?" Jeff asked, Oh yea I was just wondering what that was for a while ago "um...what do you mean by that?" I asked Jeff as I placed the drink back down, Candypop chuckled "Working as a femboy waiter in such restaurant also means presentation" LJ snickered "Let me explain~" LJ picked up the empty wine cup on the table and held it to his mouth like a mic "Jack is my name, but also known as Laughing Jack In The Box, I got my stage name for being such a great and funny entertainment to my fellow audience! Also know as the customers" He said with his best formal voice, Candypop rolled his eyes "now your just over exaggerating LJ", LJ placed the wine glass back down "Oh yea? Let's see you try then" LJ snickered, Candypop held his head high "Watch me!" He coughed trying to clear his throat " Candypop! My original name from the start, but I made it mean something with my sweet and gental like manners and Popping entertainment" LJ bursted into laughter "wooooow so original Candy" Candypop huffed, Jeff chuckled "You two, Femboy Hooters isn't some kind of circus place, you entertain the costumers with fat ass cheeks and sexy talents" Jeff stuck his tongue out at the two taller males, Jeff smiles "Jeff The Killer, Got that for always killing the fucking stage with my performance" Jeff chuckled with pride, "hm- good one" LJ admits, I looked at Toby "what about you?" I asked Toby, Toby scratched the back of his head "U-uh...It's T-Ticci Toby-y..." he answered, Ticci Toby? Are they trying to make fun of his tics?? I thought it was a bad thing then Jeff spoke up "They call him that cause It's cute, I don't know why the hell but most of the costumers think his tics are adorable" He says, I nodded understanding what Jeff meant "And you just went with the name?" I asked Toby, I mean stage name...you have to be at least comfortable with other people calling you that- "Y-yea I re-really don't-t mind, and I-If the costumers like-e i-i-it, I-Im gonna st-stick with it" Toby response, "S-so what-t ab-about you?" Toby asked me, "Me??well....I don't know yet..." I replied, "What about glitchy Ben lol" Jeff asked, "Nahhhh" I chuckled, I don't want to be known for my glitches-
A different waitress arrived with our food, she looked really strong holding all the trays with her two hands, "here ya go" Looking at her, she looked like she came from a 1967 TV, and no i didn't mean she dressed like them, she just had the same color vibe, y'know? Ummmm Like her hair is white as snow and so was her skin- She had dark circles on her eyes, "I never seen you here before" LJ tilts his head, "Do you really needa know? well I'm Zero, I'm new here" She answered, not wanting to make the conversation any longer, she walked away. "Well she seems nice" Jeff chuckled, was he being sarcastic? Dunno what he considers nice as- Candypop sighed "seriously, can anyone just treat us like normal human being??" LJ picked up his drink and sipped it "We're eating in our competition's restaurant for no good proper reason, Of course the ladies are gonna be pissed and moody" "When did...this started? The competition between you guys" I asked "A-ah a-about-t one-e and a-a h-half year a-ago, w-we g-got T-top restaurant-t I-in the-e c-city" Toby explained, Just that? Just cause of that and they're hating on our guts?? "Well they act like this towards us mainly for one person" Candypop added in, LJ nodded and leant towards me not wanting anyone else to hear "Their Boss Zalgo and our Boss have a shit ton of beef with each other" LJ sat back down, Zalgo? I think I heard of that name before...."Like the famous Modal Lazari Natalie Swann's father?" I asked, LJ held up his finger to his mouth shushing me, "we don't talk about his daughter in his restaurant" LJ tells me, "Y-yea that-t's h-her" Toby answered instead- So what is about his daughter we can't talk about?? I mean if I was the boss of this restaurant and my child is a world famous model star then wouldn't give like a...Really good reputation for the restuarant?? Well I never owned a restaurant so I'll most likely don't get it- We started eating and talking about different topics again, "F-Feed me-e" Toby opened his mouth and faced me, I held a slice of steak and feed Toby leaving the fork in his mouth, "Y-your s-s-suppose-e t-to t-take that-t out" Toby giggled, I know I was suppose to take it out of his mouth I'm not stupid, I um...my hands just um...slipped! Toby held the fork on his mouth like a child that doesn't know how to eat by himself, I sighed and pulled the fork out his mouth for him, he giggles and smiles-
After what seemed like half an hour later, we all finished with our meal- "check please dearest~" LJ tells a waitress walking by, which was the waitress we saw a while ago, with the pigtails- She nodded and quickly walked back with the check, She seemed to be always looking at Jeff, not exactly in a mad way or anything- She placed it right in front of LJ- LJ took his branded Montblanc Wallet, he took out his card and placed it and handed it to LuLu "Visa card" He tells the waitress, LuLu nodded "I'll be right back" then left- "LuLu is such a sweet girl, too sweet" Candypop glanced at the girl already walking back to our table "Well the service here sure is faster than ours" Jeff snickered, LJ glared at Jeff "Oi I'm trying to entertain cosumers, I wasn't flirting to slack" LJ said knowing what Jeff what was already thinking about- LuLu politely hands back LJ his card even without saying anything- "Your rather quite right now LuLu" LJ tilted his head, LuLu said nothing and looked away "Thank you for not causing trouble, you can all leave now" She replied- LJ stood up "Alright then, thanks for not being a huge bitch like Jane" LJ pats LuLu's head before walking out the table, the rest of us followed and walked away from our seat- I was looking back at LuLu and not focusing on what was in front of me when I bumped into someone, I fell down and landed on my bottom "Ow.." I rubbed my back gentally, "L-Love are-e y-you ok??" Toby rushed back to me "I'm so so sorry sir, let me help you up" The man held his hand out, his voice sounds familiar...He helps me up with his hand ,I looked at the man's face expecting to see a face I've met before...I started at the man, He was wearing some kind of black mask and a sad face was on it, "Ben?" The black masked man spoke, Wait this is.. "Hoodie??" I replied excited, I was glad he reconized me "Oh I didn't see you! I'm so sorry" He explained, I giggled "It's fine!" Hoodie was always so nice to me from the beginning, even though I still am quite a stranger to him, well...unless Masky already talked to him more about me, but Masky and I weren't really that close, Remembering his polite manner, a restuarant manager would be really easy for him- "So how do you like it here?" Hoodie asked, I nodded "I loved it actually" I smiled, Toby looked at Hoodie "D-Do you-u guys-s kn-know each o-other?" Toby asked, shit what should I say? Hoodie nodded "yes and nice to finally meet you Toby" He replied, should he really be saying that??? Didn't Masky said not tell a single soul about him, but now he's introducing himself? I held Toby's hand before he could even shake hands with Hoodie then dragged him out "Come on let's goo"
We walked out the restuarnt, The female named Jane was glaring at us as we walked out- "B-Ben w-what is-s it?" I stopped dragging Toby once we got far enough, I looked at everyone else and they were all looking back at me either confused or surprised....or both cause Jeff's confused face looks like he's surprised with that sliced smile of his, my heartbeat raced, are they mad at me?? I rubbed my sweating fingers together, What would Toby say? I just dragged him out of a conversation, will they hate me? I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack soon, the people who were passing across us were increasing and it felt like some of them were staring at me... I couldn't handle it- I crouch down and hid my face- I wanna go home now, I don't care if I was alone, I just don't wanna be here right now, I felt a person hugging me....two people...I looked up and see Jeff patting my head gentally, behind me was Toby hugging me..."Are you alright?...we can go now if you want to Ben" LJ looked at me worried, "Panic attacks isn't it? You want green tea perhapes? It'll help you" Candypop suggested, were they all worried about me? I never felt so much comfort... "I...My legs are weak" I whispered, "You wa-want m-me t-to carry-y you d-darling?" Toby asked, I shook my head and stood up myself... I haven't have a panic attack for so long...I haven't been outside this much so it'll probably explain why I'm like this right now... I felt Toby's hand supporting me up, I wrapped my arms around Toby's as we walked slowly to the lift, No one questioned what happened as we walked, they all just tried cheering me up, LJ too...surprisingly "You should watch this show in Netflix Ben, Its about a guy hacking and falling in love and stuff" LJ suggested, I tried to do what Toby does and smile, but my cheeks felt too tired to make an expression at all....
