TWENTY

Well my shift was prolonged. Since I was the waiter for Hot stuff and his group of delinquents I was forced to stay until closing.
Mandy must've felt bad for me since she allowed me to take a "break" on the couch.

I think I eventually fell asleep because when I opened my eyes again a pair of gold iris were staring down at me.

"The fuck". I gasped. I scrambled into a sitting position and pressed myself deep into the sofa's cushions.

The gold eyes belonged to the Jumpy girl. A apologetic smile crept onto her face. She scratched her cheek and mumbled a quick "sorry".

I let out a breath and relaxed after a moment. "What do you want?"

"Our bill". The blonde boy answered. Him-and the rest of the group-were standing behind Miss. Jumpy.

I rubbed at my tired eyes and yawned.

So while I suffered for hours waiting for them to cash out, they just got to enjoy their time then wake me up when they were ready.
What a bunch of assholes.

"Give me a minute".

"Really?"

So demanding jeez.

"Yeah", I scowled, "Its what-five in the freakin morning-I got an hour of sleep thanks to you assholes. I think I deserve a minute".

I kicked my feet over the side of the couch and took off my apron. I rested my elbows on my knee's then raked my fingers back through my tangled hair.
I felt like a mess.
And I didnt even have a drop of alcohol in me.

"Fucking mornings". I grumbled as I got to my feet. I swayed a little and quickly pumped into motion before I fell back onto the couch.

I slipped behind the counter and dropped my apron in a small cardboard box with my name on it.

Mandy came walking out from the back. She made a face when she saw me. "You need sleep".
I scowled at her.

I rung up the four assholes then froze when I saw their recipe. They had ordered away more than I remembered getting for them. I turned towards Mandy. "Hay Mandy did you-"
"Yeah. You were passed out. I know how much of a prick you can be when your woken up so I got them shit". She shrugged, "No big deal".

I wasnt sure if i was angry with her or complelty thankful.

Eventually I just mumbled a small "thanks".

The moment was ruined when blondie spoke up. "The beauty queen needed his beauty rest".

Mandy smacked him. Actually hit him! It wasnt very hard and it was only a hit to the arm, but still; she hit him for me.

"Watch it". She snapped. I was for once thankful that her harsh gaze was focused on someone else for a change.
Blondie shrunk a little, but he didnt back down. "What's the big deal? He's loaded! He doesnt need to work here".

Mandy scoffed. "Elin's been coming here for years". Then she rolled her eyes, "If he was loaded I'd be the first to know."

I was sort of happy to hear her defending me. It was nice. Rare in my occasion.
Also, for once, she actually spoke my name.

"That guy", she threw a thumb in my direction, "Is poorer than my uncle and that's saying alot. Uncle Drice lives in a card board box outside his work place".

Okey maybe she was going a little to far now.

"Thanks Mandy". I interjected, I slapped the group's bill down on the counter. "Have a nice life".
