Work Shifts and Suprises - 1

Z O R A ' S   P O V

Zora was awoken by the deafening sound of her apple alarm causing her to jump, almost slipping out her bed. She groggily groaned, attempting to open her eyes she winces at the bright 7:00am sunrise shining through her sheer curtains. Zora slaps her phone screen in an attempt to silence the blaring noise. Finally coming to life, she treads to her bathroom and for a moment stares at her half asleep face in the mirror maybe dozing off a couple of times. She snaps out of it and reminds herself that she needs to get on with her day.

Quickly rinsing herself in the near boiling shower water she does her hair, skin care, and brushes her teeth in an attempt to look somewhat decent for the day. Walking out of the bathroom, she is met with a grumpy somewhat Garfield looking creature.

" Hi snookers! Hi, how are you my little fur ball!" Zora exclaims in a high pitched almost baby talk sounding voice while bending down to cuddle the furry feline. Snookers lets out a meow and scatters under the bed. "ok then, screw you too." Zora lets out a soft chuckle as she puts on her work uniform. Zora glances up at her wall which has a clock placed on it reading the time, 8:50am. Zora let out a worried gasp as she realized she needed to get going now or she was going to miss her train. She hurried and grabbed her purse, lipgloss, water bottle, and slipped her crocs on before rushing out the door. She had 10 minutes to be on the train or she was going to be late to work, so she was on the move.

After running through the streets of New York for about 7 minutes she finally reached the subway station out of breath and with her feet aching. She hopped on the train, and took a seat putting in her ear buds closing her eyes finally being able to relax. About 13 minutes later she arrived at her stop, walking out of the train into the underground subway. She jogged out of the station onto Manhattan streets crowded with business men and women with there coffees and briefcases. Zora took a look at her watch and reading the time, 9:26am.

"Shit." Zora started jogging at a fast pace, her shift started at 9:30am. At this point it was guaranteed she would be a few minutes late but it wasn't really a big deal. After all the running she did just to get to work she really didn't feel like being on her feet for another 10+ hours since she had agreed to stay a little later at work cause she need the money. When she arrived at the restaurant her boss was waiting for her with a frustrated face.

"Zora, where were you? You know you cant keep coming in late like this!" Cassandra exclaimed.

"Relax Cassandra I was only like 8 minutes late." Zora said sighing as she entered through the big glass doors.

"More like 11 minutes!" Zora spun around with her eyes enlarged, her bottom lip poked out and her hands together.

"Im very very sowwyyy, please forgive me sandy?" Zora pleaded, Cassandra let out a small giggle and since Cassandra and Zora were pretty good friends she was let off the hook.

*9 hours later*

Zora was getting to the last hours of her shift, getting more tired with every hour. She had served 11 partys so far and the shift was going pretty good not having to encounter any Karens, or just obnoxious rich people which was a pretty rare experience. She was walking back to the kitchen after refilling a party drinks when she felt a hand on her shoulder causing her to turn around.

"Your gonna serve table four, right?" Cassandra asked.

"umm.. I wasn't but I will, sure yea ill take them." She replies. Cassandra nods with a smile and turns away walking back into the dining area. Zora places the empty cups from the other table in the kitchen and walks over to her new table introducing herself to the party members, when she notices a special person.

De'andre Willis.
