One Helluva Time

            A/N:  Alright, we're back to a Hazbin story, hope you all enjoy!

                          This life could be a difficult one, many working day in and out to make a living, to become something and it was this way for a girl in Texas named Mika who was trying to go to school while juggling a side job to keep up with bills. She had a family but was trying to go out on her own and live in a small apartment with a roommate, the two weren't close friends but they got through it together. Working late at a diner not far from her university, Mika was cleaning tables when a few late-night customers would come in to sit for service.

Walking over to take her pen and notepad out so as to take their order,

"Welcome to Jim's Diner, I'm Mika your server, what can I get started for you?"

"Just a coffee, sugar, and cream please." The gentleman wore white, he had blonde hair and went about removing his hat to set it down, such blue eyes wouldn't even look her way. The other man, dressed in a black coat but had a red suit under, gave her a smile as he was looking up at her.

"I'll take a black coffee and maybe... apple pie if you have any?" Mika perked up at that, she had made it herself but no one would ever order it, this also seemed to perk up the other man as it was ordered.

"Oh, of course, I can do that. And I do hope you like it, I made it myself... I'll be right back with those." She held a fine-tune, excited for the order, and went about getting it while the two men would converse between one another. She didn't know why two finely dressed men would come to the diner of all places, another group of men came in, some late-night college guys as she was bringing out the coffee and pie. Setting it down but before the plate could be put in front of the man who ordered it, the other man held her wrist gently to motion for her to place it in front of him instead.

"I'll take it, Dearie, Al is not much for sweets."

"Oh.. are you two... um sure, I hope you enjoy it."  The other seemed disgruntled but held his smile while the blonde man looked up at her, locking eyes for a moment as she pulled her hand away to blush.

"Hey, can we get some service here?" A man called, Mika was pulled from her thoughts to walk over and help her other customers, the two men went back to talking while the night went on and when it was time for the two to leave. A small wave from them as they left, Mika would check their table and sure enough, a nice tip was left as well as a note. The pie was delicious~ It made her smile, her night was looking up as she would head home soon, the man she had never met before and probably wouldn't see again was stuck in her mind. Which was rare, Mika had never been interested in another person before, she was far too busy in her studies, after getting maybe six hours of sleep and heading to morning classes.

After classes, she would head to her job for another night of work, it got busy most nights on the weekend and when the men got rowdy in the diner her boss would have to chase them out. Then the two men came in again for coffee and much to her surprise another piece of pie,

"Working by yourself again I see,"

"Well, it's not that busy. I'm glad you liked the pie, it's good to see you two back again." It was surprising to her that was for sure, they didn't look like students,

"May I know your names?" She asked suddenly, afraid that this would be the last time,

"You can call me Al and this here is Lou, apples are his favorite. You work very hard my dear, don't stress your pretty self." She would blush a bit before nodding at the two and turning to get back to work, when the men were done, she turned to head to the table only to almost run into Lou. He stood to look down at her, handing her the note and tip,
