I'm feeling so stressed out right now that my back aches. I thought working as a waitress was gonna be easy, but I was wrong!
Walking from table to table with multiple orders is mind confusing. I got shouted at on my first day for getting the orders wrong , spilling water on the customers and dropping dishes like am skipping stones.
Sigh. That's totally coming out of my pay cheque.
"Hey Palmer get your head out the clouds and get this order to table 23 asap" , my boss called. "Yes sir " , I quickly replied. I carefully took my tray with the order over to the table and place the food gently on the table then smile to the beautiful girl who's sitting with young man who might seemed to be her boyfriend. She smiled back at me then started eating her meal.
It was now twelve -thirty in the afternoon which indicates my half day shift was over. On the way home I felt like having a cup of cappuccino so I stopped at the nearest coffee shop in town.
I bought my cappuccino and sat in a booth near the glass window. Twenty minutes later and am still in the coffee shop using my phone scrolling through my Instagram. When I finally decided I wanted to leave it was already after three.
While walking I could feel someone following me but when I was to turn around to see who it was my bag was suddenly snatched by a person in full black." Stop! thief ,thief ,thief", I cried while running down the street chasing the man. My feet started to hurt and I couldn't chase anymore after him.
When I stop to catch my breath something ran passed me like a bolt of lightning. It was a cop running after the thief who took my bag.
After seven minutes of a wild goose chase the cop finally caught the thief and I got my bag back. I gratefully thanked him and he smiled at me. I was taken back by his smile and blushed a little.
I'm not gonna lie he's quite a handsome man and looks like he's in his thirties. "Next time be aware of your surroundings ma'am, I don't want a little pretty lady like you getting hurt" he flirted at me.
"Well thank you for your help once again officer-?" , "Officer Wright, remember it pretty girl. See you around baby" then he drove off.
I was pretty sure my face was fifteen shades of purple when he called me baby with his smooth deep voice. I wonder if he was married but a voice in my head said I must not get too close to that man.
It was getting late so I hailed a cab and head straight home. When I got home I went straight to my room and plant my face into my pillow. Today was exhausting,confusing and panty wetting, right now I need a shower.
I got up and went to the bathroom. Gradually I took off my shirt and pants then put them in the laundry basket. In front of the mirror I stood in my lace underwear and started to look at my sexy curves and wondered why I don't have a hot boyfriend to control this devilish body of mine.
After nice hot shower , I stepped out looking at my body again in the mirror . Tracing my fingers all over my wet body and quavering to my own gentle touches which felt very intoxicating to me.
My phone suddenly rang and snapped me back to reality. It was my best friend Jerica calling so I quickly answered.
"Baby , I miss you so much" Jerica said in her best baby voice.
"I miss you too mamii. My day has been so wild today ,I'm completely exhausted."
"Aww , sorry to hear my baby. So... do you mind telling me the details?"
"My first day of work wasn't a blast and someone snatched my bag after work then a handsome cop came to save the day. lol."
"Waiittt- forget everything else, your bag snatched? Omg babe. I'm glad nothing happened to you. Now let's get back to the part where the handsome cop saved you."
Oh no.
"Well he's very hot that I could assure you and prolly in his thirties."
"How hot? and don't lie to me bitch"
"OMFG! calm down girl. Ok he's like that young sugar daddy type of hot giving off that millionaire vibe"
"Aww I wish it was my bag that got stolen"
"Lol, your an awful friend"
"I know " we both laughed simultaneously .
"Ok girl am getting tired now you wanna meet tomorrow after work ?"
"Sure babe i'm available"
"Ok later" I got up and took out my favourite blue pyjamas and wrapped my hair in a ponytail then tuck myself under the covers and slowly drift off.
....
I woke up to the sound of my crazy neighbour's loud music. Omg, as I slowly pulled myself from bed I looked at the time and realise I was 30 minutes late for work.
No, no please tell me this is a lie I'm gonna get shouted at again . Knowing time is against me I went and took the world's quickest shower then pulled over a short peach dress which shows my curves .
I wrapped my hair in two buns on each side , put a little lip gloss on, threw on a pair of white sneakers and rushed through the door.
I didn't have enough time to hail a cab so I ran down the down the street like a mad woman. The sound of sirens approached me from behind and I was left dumbfounded when i saw who drove up beside me.
It was him!
"Hey missy , I didn't know you lived in this part of town. Where you heading?"
"Good morning officer wright I'm really late for work by Jack's Diner " I said while slowing down in my tracks.
"Mind if i gave you a lift?" , "If its not too much trouble thank you" I said while i hopped in the back.
I felt so nervous I kept looking at him in the rearview mirror . Now I realised his eyes were ocean blue and warm. I felt like could swim in them and drown its kind gaze .
His jawline was so muscular and his dark silky smooth hair I was craving to run my fingers through it. Lips so pink and soft only kiss will make you fall in love.
"Hola senorita?"
"Huh-" I snapped back to reality.
"You know if you keep staring at me i'll eat you up"
"Please" Oh no I said that out loud how embarrassing . I hide my face in my hands then slowly look up at the mirror . I could a smile creeping up his lips. A smile so sinister I got wet in an instant.
We slowly pulled up into the diner's parking lot . I hopped out the car and thank him and ran off around the back without waiting on his reply . He probably think was being rude but i was too embarrassed to look him straight in the eye.
Right now I have bigger things to worry about . Waiting behind this door is another scolding cause am now an hour late . I opened the back door and slid inside and here I thought I was gonna get by without the boss seeing me but boy I was wrong.
"Palmer! Your late and on top of that we plenty hungry customers waiting outside. I'm gonna let this slide once and the next time it happens I'm cutting your pay cheque"
Sigh.
I ended up doing two hours extra on my shift just to make up for the time I wasted. Jerica must be waiting on my call by now .
"Hello?"
"Hey J its me sorry you had to wait on me for two extra hours "
"Its ok babe we can still meet at your place"
" Ok then meet me at home in the next thirty minutes "
"Okie then i'll see you then , bye"
Ok well at least this part of my day will be going well. i called a uber cause important day for us I'm afraid i might get robbed again at this hour. When i got home jerica was waiting-by my doorstep.
She squealed when she saw me and gave me the world's warmest hug which honestly made me feel great. " Bestii " she screamed. "Guess what?"
I narrowed my eyebrows in question " what"
"Ice-cream!! So you know what that means"
"Ice-cream and netflix!!" we both scream simultaneously.
