8:05 am Austin, Texas
I jump up as my alarm blares loudly, waking me up from my somewhat deep sleep. I toss the covers off me and climb out of the bed and go to the bathroom to start my daily routine. As I finished getting dress, I make me a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich grabbing me a bottle of water and start my 10 minute walk to work. I work at a local and very popular restaurant called Valentine's Place owned by my grandparents who aren't really my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Valentine. An elderly couple that have been married for 25 years and got this restaurant for 20 years.
They took me in and helped me get some furniture for my apartment since when I moved in, I only had an air mattress, a couch, and a medium size tv held up by two chairs. I always thank them whenever I can and promise to pay him back one day. As I walk, I watch the cars pass by me and men hanging around the basketball court a block from my apartment. Minutes later I walk through the restaurant doors saying hello to everyone then headed to the back. As I am putting on my apron, Mrs. Valentine walks in and smiles when she sees me and I smile back.
"Hey grandma, how are you doing this morning?," I ask as I hug her.
"Goodmorning baby, I'm doing fine how about yourself?"
"I'm good, going to start my shift, see you later." I give her a kiss on the cheek and walk to the front and take orders. As I finished with my third table, I see two men walk in wearing fancy suits and church shoes. I walk up to them with a somewhat forced smile
"Good morning, is it just you guys?"
"Yes ma'am," the taller man that seemed to be at least 6'3. He work and nice grey tailored suite with thin black stripes and a tie to match.
"Okay, would you guys like a booth or a table?"
"A booth please," I nodded and told them to follow me. I seat them in a booth and take down their drink orders.
"Okay I will be back with y'all's drink." I head to the back and fix their coffee, one with light cream and sugar and the other straight black coffee.
I come back and set down their drinks and take out my notepad with my pen ready to write down their orders. "I would like the special French toast with bacon, turkey sausage, scrambled eggs, with a side of grits." The grey suited man said. I look to my right and wait for the man in a all black and white suit to order.
" I would like the regular breakfast platter bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, grits, and hash browns." I nod and tell them I'll be back.
10 minutes later...
I place their food on the table making sure I give them exactly what they ordered and smile, " I hope you guy enjoy your food and when you guys are done just press the button on the table and I'll come with your recipes. You can pay with cash or debit." They say thanks and I look over at grey suite as I feel him staring at me. We look into each other's eyes and for some reason it was hard for both of us to look away but I finally did and sped walk to the back of the restaurant.
After twenty minutes they finally buzz me, they paid in cash and left me a two hundred dollar tip and grey suits phone number. I blush and put it in my pocket and go on about my day.
