Two Pieces (Demi Lovato and Jesse Williams)

5

Demi's POV

"Demi! I need you take my table for me real quick. I have to use the restroom." Sirah says as she walks behind the counter while I wipe it down.

"Which table is it?" I ask her as I set the rag down.

"Five." She replies before running to the back and I chuckle as I walk to the table.

"What can I get for you today sir?" I ask when I make it up to the guy.

"Just a coffee and pancakes with eggs." He orders and I nod as I write it down. I then walk behind the counter to get him his coffee when the bell goes off so I look up to greet the customer when I see Jesse.

"Hey!" I say as he sits down right in front of me on the other side of the counter.

"Hey beautiful." He replies and I smile.

"Let me just give this to my table." I say and he nods so I walk around the counter and give the guy his coffee before turning and walking back to Jesse.

"He was checking you out." He mumbles and I chuckle.

"Already getting jealous? We're not even official yet." I say and he rolls his eyes as I grab another mug and fill it up with coffee for him. The amount of coffee this man drinks is seriously unhealthy I think.

"First of all, not jealous. Second, it's not official yet, because you were the one wanting to take things slow." He says and I chuckle. He does have a point. A few days after we went to dinner and a movie, I told him that I wanted to take things slow between us. I mainly said that because of Isabella and she made some very valid points about my previous dating habits.

"Alright, whatever you say. Anyways, I thought you worked today?" I ask him as I hand him his coffee.

"I do, I decided to come see you before I have to be in today." He says and I smile.

"You have a long shift though. You should have stayed home and got some rest." I say because I know he's working a twelve hour shift today.

"Look at you being all worried." He says smirking and I chuckle. "But I'm fine. Plus, we haven't seen each other in a couple weeks with our schedules so I wanted to come see you while I had the chance." He continues and I smile bigger.

"Cute." I say tilting my head slightly just as Sirah comes out from the back so I move away from leaning on the counter in front of him.

"You don't have to act like that around me. I'm not my mother." She says and I chuckle softly. Just then my phone rings from my back pocket so I pull it out and see that Bella's school is calling.

"Hold on, it's Bella's school." I say taking a few steps away and accepting the call.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hello, is this Isabella's mother?" The lady asks and I nod.

"This is she. Is everything okay?" I ask slightly nervous. The school hasn't called me once yet so I am worried.

"Isabella is in the office right now because she was caught ditching class and making out with another student." She says and I take a deep breath so I don't completely explode.

"I'm on my way." I say quickly before hanging up. I untie my apron before rushing to the back to put it away and grab my stuff. "Gail, I have to go. Isabella got in trouble at school." I say as I pass by and she nods immediately. I walk back out to the front and Sirah is now serving her tables, but Jesse is still there.

"Everything okay?" He asks standing up and following me outside.

"Bella got caught making out with a boy and ditching class." I tell him and I hear him take a deep breath.
