SHE LIKES DANGER

Chapter 4

Karissa's POV

Marisol was visiting her family this week  back in Mexico and Alyssa had her bowels under control so she didn't come over this morning to teach me how to work the stove. I'm good at a lot of things and sometimes my cocky ass feel like I'm supergirl but cooking is my kyrptonite and trust me I'm okay with that. 

Marisol tried to teach me the basics when she used to work for my parents and by basics I mean how to actually turn the knock and get the fire going but let's just say  that didn't end well.  Then when I moved here and Alyssa and her parents tried to teach me how to make Mac N Cheese and somehow that 10 minute lesson ended up with me almost  burning down half the building. 

That's when they decided that I'm a much better waitress than I am a cook and that's exactly why I played it safe this morning and get breakfast at the diner instead of making something for myself. Heaven knows that the fire department is sick of me because of all the close calls I've had over the years. 

The two love birds were on a cruise in the caribbean celebrating their 30th anniversary so instead of sitting in one of the booth and talking to them like I usually do I was hanging out at the counter waiting  Quincy to come back with my order. 

"Okay one double espresso and 2 cinnamon bage"He said as he lay them on the counter "That's $4.25 but  it's on the house if I get your phone number "  He smirked 

I burst out laughing  "I got vibrators that are twice your age and besides that girl over there in the blue sweater has been starring daggers at me  since we started talking" I said pointing to the girl blue sweater at the table in the center of the room.

His eyes searched the room until they met hers.  She winked at him then she noticed I was still there she looked at me as if she wanted to kill me. 

Woah chill girl I'm trying to fix you up a date and you are plotting to murder me. 

"Please go over there and talk to her before she ends up killing me" I begged

"Don't have to tell me twice" 

That same smug smile from earlier was still tugging at his lips as he  grabbed his notepad and came around the counter.

" Wish me luck" He whispered

"No cheesy pick up lines okay" I whispered yelled

On his way to her table I couldn't help but laugh at how he was constantly adusting his uniform. 

I really wanted to get closer to where they were so I could step in and save the poor boy if he was messing up our chances at happiness  but he  low key gave me  thumbs up as a signal that everything was going well. 

Well I guess now that he got himself a potential pyscho for a girlfriend I won't get a chance to hang out with him when I come here.

I think I'm going to go to church this Sunday just to thank God for what he did for me today. 

 Quincy is  a senior in high school and he wanted to get in my pants since he started working here when he was 16.

It's ironic how I can always play cupid with everyone else but I can never find a man for myself. Right now I couldn't stand to watch them make googly eyes at each other anymore. I slide $5 under the counter  grabbed my coffee then made a beeline for the door. I winked at Quincy as I walked out and he smiled at me.

I barely made it to the side walk before someone knocked me over and I fell ass first on the pavment. By the sickening smell of his cologne I could tell it was a man.
