Pancakes With A Waitress

Should He Return To Lawrence?

                                                                        Brandon POV
I thought about Lawrence in the car. I think I need to talk to him. I was alone and I needed him right now. But then, I thought about the waitress at Prime Meals International. I parked at my workplace and entered.                                             

                                                                  Samantha's POV

We entered our workplace and ran to the kitchen. We saw Melissa and Riley fighting in the kitchen, pouring ingredients on each other. "What are you guys doing?" I screamed and tried to separate them. "Stop!!!" Everyone joined me and stopped them but customers started arriving but I had to plead with them that there was no ingredients and they had to leave now. "Why re you guys fighting " Miss Nelly yelled angrily. "She slapped me first" Riley said. "How dare she insult my parents and grandparents? I will kill her" Melissa said. "All the Customers are watching" Miss Nelly said embarrassed. She took them to her office and locked the door. "Jennifer, please please  clean this up" I pleaded. "Samantha, why are you so lazy and remember, I am angry with you" Jennifer hissed. "Why? What's my offense?" I asked her. "You insulted my boyfriend without knowing how much it means! You even tried to commit suicide. Do you know I might get implicated if not for Mr. Brandon" Jennifer took out all her anger on me as she cleaned and threw the mop on me. "Clean it all up, lazy rat" she said as she went to attend to the customers. "Hello Mr. Brandon, you came Tonight " Jennifer said. "Yes, this is my colleague and friend, Mike. Get me pancakes  with enough syrup and get Mike sandwiches  "Oh, I will make them right away what about drinks to step down first, because the food isn't ready yet" Jennifer asked. "Hmm, just water" Brandon said. "Milk, please " Mike ordered.

"Hello, who's on the line?" "It's me Lawrence. I used someone's phone to call you" he told Brandon. "Oh, Please what do you want" Brandon asked. "Where are you, honey?" He asked. "I am at Prime Meals International. Don't tell me you want us to meet." Brandon said. "Please don't leave, I will see you in a sec" Lawrence hanged up.

He can't just see me here. I already overheard Jennifer and Sam. Jennifer will be so heartbroken. Jennifer!!! "Sir, I am sorry, here are your drinks, Jennifer's still cooking" Samantha said and accidentally dropped the whole tray on Brandon. "OH MY GOSH... am really sorry sir" "Why are you so clumsy, miss Nelly said, it's not your fault, it's because you are lazy" she told Samantha and all eyes were on them. "Show me to the bathroom, I'll clean up." Brandon told Samantha. "It's right there in the corner" Samantha said with a shaky voice and went to attend to the other customers.

I went to the bathroom  and I tried to turn on the tap but it was shut tight. No matter how man I was, I could not open the tap that women closed. someone knocked the bathroom door. "Can I come in, sir" Samantha said. "Sure, come in" Brandon replied. Samantha came in and saw me struggling to turn the tap on. "Am sorry, miss Nelly shut it tight" Samantha said turning on the tap. "You have something on your face" I told her. She tried to locate where the syrup was but she couldn't. "Let me get it off for you" I said as I scooped her face in my hands. We stood in that position for 5seconds staring at each other then I wiped the syrup off her cheek with my finger. "T.. thanks" Samantha said awkwardly, pulling away. "You are welcome, I said, as I cleaned up my shirt, have you eaten tonight?" I asked her curiously.
