"Welcome to Kelly's, my name is Alice and I'll be taking care of you today may I start you off with something to drink?" Alice looked around the table while talking, her eyes connected with green ones first, it wasnt one of her regulars so she smiled and moved on to the person sitting next to him a kid in a bright yellow shirt and blue hair. "Im loving the hair." She said before moving to the next person at the table. This one looked related to the child, she took his drink order aswell before turning to the last of the group.

Her body stopped moving, her brain took a vacation and she almost dropped her pen. "Hey little red." Shit, Mr.Red was sitting at her booth, smiling at her and not caring about what his friends would say about the nick name.

"Hi, my name is Alice. What would you like to drink." He chuckled at her and gave her his order. She smiled excused herself and walked as gracefully as she could towards the kitchen where she knew without a doubt Kelly would be.

"Is that who I think it is?" Kelly asked as soon as Alice's walked in the kitchen, she was standing on the door designated to walk out looking through the small round window. "Is that Red?"

"That is most definitely Red." Alice answered while looking out from behind her friend. Kelly pulled her phone out from her apron pocket and was about to hit the call icon on their friend chat before Alice plucked it out of her hand and dropped it in to her own pocket. "What do you think your doing?"

"Calling the girls?" Was Kellys respond.

"And for what if i may ask." Alice turned and began to fill cups and grab coffe mugs preparing to head towards her table while waiting on Kellys reply.

"Well if that is Red then those might be  some other colors and I'd like to know which."

"Ecxept we arent supposed to know remember. We arent supposed to share with the rest what they look like and we most definatly shouldnt call our friends who may or may not have hooked up with him or his friends to come here and see them."

"You are such a buss kill ." Kelly huffed, stomped her foot and crossed her arms while glaring at Alice who picked up her tray and walked past her friend and employer and headed out the door.

"Plus, wont it be fun to hope that our next hook up is one of them delicious snacks." Alice said before the door closed behind her.

"Hey, Guys. Are we ready to order or do we need more time to look at the menu?" She asked while placing the cups and mugs out infrot of them.

"We are actually waiting on a friend, if you dont mind waiting until he arrives to take our order."

Alices was pulling out her pen but quickly nodded at them, "Ofcourse, just wave at me if you change your mind otherwise I'll drop by when your friend arrives." She was about to turn and head towards the kitchen when a voice spoke behind her.

"Im right here." Her back stiffend at the words, she could feel him behind her and wanted to run before he caught sight of her face and recognized her. "I actually know what I want if you guys are ready she can just take our orders now." He side stepping around her while she reached into the pocket on her shirt to pull out a pen and dropped her head trying to cover up as much of her face as she could. "I knew today was going to be an amaizing day, I could feel it the minute I woke up. Then I pulled the door of the diner open and I knew that what ever had me feeling like I could fight the hulk himself was in this diner."

Alice blew out a breath but held her composure while flicking through her previous orders trying to find a space big enough to accommodate their order. "Alright lets get down to business gentle men, what would it be?" The men proceeded to place their ordes while Alice did her best to keep up and keep her eyes from straying from her pad.

"I'd like a cup of coffee with a little bit of honey, the delux breakfast and a couple minutes of your time when you get the chance, Blue." Her pen froze when the word reached her ears, ofcourse it wasnt her name but its what he called her both nights. He knew it was her, there was no mistaking that fact.

"Im sorry, Sir. What was that again?" Her breathing was picking up, she could feel them all watching her and she wanted nothing more than to run in that kitchen and hide until he was gone.

He repeated his order and followed it with, "Come on Blue, just a few."

She shook her head at him and cleared her throat, "You most be mistaking me for some one else."

"I am most definatly not, the tattoos, the hair, but that voice. Its imposible to not notice you, to not recognize you." She finally lifted her head, giving up on the idea that he would drop it or hopefully ignore her. "There she is, look at them pretty brown eyes."

Alice squared her shoulders and looked him in the eyes trying to find the strength to keep her voice controlled when she said, "Im sorry, Hard, but it's against the rules."

"Its really not, there really aren't any rules that say we can't, talk, have luch, date or hook up if we ever meet after or before the game has matched us." She took a hesitant step back but he continued before she could run. "But if you dont feel comfortable with it then a simple no is enough I promise I wont ask again."

He grabbed a chair at the end of the table and sat down still watching her when she turned around and almost ran to the kitchen begging Kelly to take over the table.
