Cherry Pie | Tyler, the Creator

Chapter 2

"Let's make this one a good one"

I woke up at 9am ready to open the restaurant for the day, I was still feeling a little sad from what happened last night with Frank and his friend that I only realised now was Tyler, the Creator. 

I always thought he was a nice chill dude from what I heard of him but last night I saw something completely different.

I got out of bed and went straight to my bathroom. I did all my hygiene stuff and picked out a simple outfit for the day as it's Sunday so it's not usually busy and it isn't film day.

I wore my cream white baggy cargo pants with a white wife beater and a cream white baggy hoodie paired with my brown crocs. I just wanted to monitor the restaurant for sometime and see how everyone's doing then get to preparing my next recipe for my cooking show called "Adelaiye's Adventurous Tastebuds".

I left my cute little single story house and got in one of my cars, the black mercedes G-wagon. I drove off to my restaurant and parked in my designated spot then walked in to find a few customers dining for breakfast.

"Hey everyone" I said smiling at my staff

"Morning chef!" Everyone said to me formally

"Guys it's Sunday we don't need to be formal and shit" I said while chuckling

"We know Adelaiye. By the way we saw everything that happened yesterday from the back door...you good love?" Brandy said to me who is my vice chef

"Oh well I'm good now. He just wanted to be an asshole and this is crazy because Frank always has nice friends so I don't know about that one." I said while leaning against the fridge.

"Awww baby I'm so sorry" she said while hugging me.

"did he tell you how much you've got to pay yet?" Mitchell one of the waiters said to me.

"Well I haven't checked my emails yet so I'm not sure. I'm just hoping it's not too pricey"

"Adelaiye it was a McLaren." He said with a concerned look.

"I know ugh this is so annoying fuck where's clumsy Cameron anyway?" I asked everyone

"I'm here chef" Cameron walked up to me with his head low and sighed once he looked at my face.

I was upset but everyone makes mistakes.

"Come here kid" I grabbed him and gave him a huge bear hug and rubbed his back as he quietly cried on my shoulder.

Cameron was only 19 years old and he goes through a whole lot of stress in life. He's still in school, has a job and is his family's breadwinner so I couldn't fire him for such a little mistake but I had to give him a warning.

"I'm so so so sorry chef I really wasn't in my right mind and it happened so fast I'm really sorry. You can cut off my pay check for the rest of the month just to pay him back" he said looking up at me

"I can see you're stressed come let's go talk" I lead him into my office and he lay on my couch like it was a therapy session.

I allowed my employees to come vent to me when something was bothering them that's why there was a couch in my office. There were plenty of plants too and a beautiful view of the city so it was pretty relaxing in here.

"Where do I begin?" He said as he sighed while looking up and placing his hands on his stomach.

"What were you thinking about when it happened?"

"Well I was thinking about college as you know I'm on scholarship which is my biggest blessing but I'm really not doing too well academically and I'm just panicking you know. What if they take my scholarship away for the low grades and I'm honestly trying but I just can't do anything right at the moment" he said sighing again
