Philippians 3:13

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead

I take a deep breath in as i go up to the next table, I can't wait until the day i never have to serve another table again. The smell of this shack is enough to make me want to vomit.

The life i dream of everyday would be me somewhere deep in the fields, far away from Here Surrounding by nothing but plants and Nature, Painting as far as my eyes can see,

But instead i get a life where i have to wear this uncomfortably tight uniform and put up with Perverted customers that Cant control their eyes or their hands.

I take a deep breath before walking over to the Table with two older men, Grey hairs peering from their Heads and The perfect old head outfits to match them.

"Okay fellas, What will be today? Your regular meals I assume?." I say with a hand tugging on the hem of my skirt to try loosen it.

They didn't even bother leaving their conversation to so much as look at me twice, One of the men thought it would be enough to put a hand in the air waving me off.

I closed my eyes shut for a minute, trying to gain some type of patience. After The encounter that i had through Pastor Davis the other Sunday I have felt such an urge to be better in my faith. To share it with anyone else and most importantly to spend as much time with ma as possible,

"Your regulars it is then..." i hum breathlessly turning on my heels walking back to the desk not before writing their orders on a slip

"You know, ever since you got with that Roman Guy you haven't been evangelising with me as much" Elijah says as he leans forward onto the crusty Counter top of the pay counter,

"Thats not true... is it?" I reply ripping the paper slip off of the notepad and sliding it through to the kitchen.

"Yeah, it is true. Look if you love the Guy-"

"I dont love roman." I interrupt making elijah scrunch his face,

"Either way, if you like the guy then thats fine but dont let that get in the way of your faith ziana. Pastor davis did a great thing for us on Sunday we need to stick it through." He scorns me before he puts the order's through on the Register,

"Okay dad, i get it. But dont put my lack of effort on Roman, Blame me not him." His head turns to me with a raised eyebrow, i grab a rag and wipe down the table avoiding his annoying eye contact.

"You really strung for him huh?" Elijah nudges me in the gut playfully making me slap him with the dirty rag for revenge.

"Look, He did a lot for me so far, Its not love but at least i can respect The effort he is putting in to make me feel like we aren't enemies." My mind plants the seed of how i feel with him when he is around, How pain disappears when he is around.

Its a frightening feeling to feel yourself falling for someone, knowing no one can catch you from this type of fall.

"You got so many questions about me, how about you huh? When are you going to address what pastor Davis said about you and Heartbreak?" He puts a hand up to silence me yet again avoiding the question,
