Once again, same day my role is playing again. Waking up to the same melody my phone plays. Well actually I don't want to say it's a melody that gets you up but rather keeps you asleep.
As I can explain myself I live alone. Well yeah it's kind of hard to believe that a 20 year old living in her own apartment getting her own allowance. Well yes this me, Marie. Just Marie, I tend to not speak of what family I came from. It's not important to me to introduce you to my last name.
"Good Morning princess," Mrs. Donald says as I'm locking the door to my apartment.
Mrs. Donald is an old women who lives with her cat. Yeah that sounds creepy, as if I was speaking of a witch. Well I'm not speaking if a witch I'm speaking of a women who went through alot in her life, lost her husband. Thankfully she has a son who always sends in money for her but never visits her. Just kind of reminds me of myself.
Time to go to work. I work in a cafe just a block away from my aparment. The city of L.A. could never get any better.
"Take table's two order;" Jenna says.
Jenna my buddy at the Latte Coffee shop.
"Just give me a second, I still have table ones order to take."
Two lattes, and brownies. Ugh this feeling my stomach is growling i just want to munch up those dark chocolate brownies. They look so good espically with an empty stomach like mine.
Table two. There infront of me. A model just embracing himself. A Handsome nice looking brunette guy sitting with some girl which might be his girlfriend.
Still standing with my paper and pen starring at table two. I'm thinking to myself should I go. But if I do walk to there would I say a word. You just don't understand I've seen hot but this kind is just one of a kind.
"May, table two is waiting upon you hurry already." By the way they call me May for short.
As I'm walking to table two I hear my stomach make a growl.
"Ugh not again." I murmmered to myself as i reached to table two.
"Excuse me did you say anything to me," the handsome guy in table two says to me. I just stood blank for a minute. And then got a grip of myself.
"No, just wondering if i can take your order?' Trying to speak with the softest voice I had.
I was just standing at table two with my head to the other side just starring at the countertop. I just can't stand their looking at him, he'll make my eyes tear. At last the girl at the table spoke.
"We'll have two lattees with four choclate chip cookies."
I made smirl at her and a nodd with my head. The handsome guy was looking at me with this creepy stare. What I mean a beautiful stare just like as if he was searching for something in my face.
"Okay, I'll be back with your drinks in a second," I said as i slipped in my pen in my apron and made a head down back to the counter top. Should I look back see if he's still starring, or not. Yes, no, yeah, na. I looked back as if I was just looking around but really intended just to look back at him. Awkwardly he was still starring at me and plus he smiles. Weird?? Why me? He has a gorgeous girlfriend right beside him. Well at least I think it's his girlfriend. I may never know.
I got tables two drinks and cookies. While I was walking back to table two i stumbbled down with the drinks. NO!!!!!! Ugh this burns i can almost cry. But i held back in my tears. IT burns not just burns it hurts real bad. All I can think of is to get out of this as quick as possible. People just stare at this situations, as in for me I would get up and help out. What an embarrsement, all I can think of is the handsome guy just laughing at me.
All a sudden all I can see is just a hand let out to offer to help. I didn't think twice i just accepted the hand that was lead out to help me. I got up put myself together. Really, really?? Why? He was the last on mind to concider to get up to help me.
"Are you okay?," he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks for the hand." I spoke low.
"Are you sure, The lattes do seem hot," he said with a smerk.
"I'm fine thanks though."
"Anytime, the name is Luke."
"Thanks Luke, I'm Marie," I said with a smile.
He left back to the table i got down to clean up the mess. I wonder what the manger will say to me after I go back the counter was all in my mind. Weird a small folded up paper. I don't remember holding this folded paper. I unfolded the paper, the paper had a number on it with a name. Luke?? Did he purposley throw this or did it just fell out of his hand. I looked back. Table two was gone.
I'm laying in bed it was such a hard epic day for me today. With my stomach still growling. I got off the bed to the kitchen, open the fridge took out a chicken salad and Italian dressing my favorite. All I can think of now is that mysterious handsome call. I'm thinking of calling. But again I don't want to seem that desperate. But still curiosty is eating up my brain. I took a bite of a chicken with Italian dressing on it. Oh well all I can think of is my stomach.
I heard the door knocking after I finished eating my chicken salad. Who could it be at such a time like this its almost midnight. I opened the door. It was Mrs. Donald sweetly standing there with a plate covered by alumnium paper.
"Hello, sweetheart I made dinner today because my son came from over seas and I thought I would bring you some over."
"Awww, thats so sweet of you," as I took the plate she handed me. "Come in, Mrs.Donlad."
"I wish I can sweetheart, but you know I have my son over with this girl he calls a friend, but tommorow your invited for breakfast at ten, I want to introduce you to my son that been long gone," she giggled.
It took me a while to reply to her because I was just looking in to her all cheered up face. I never seen her like this her face all glowing of happiness. All I can say is, how can such a person leave a family especially a sweet mother like this. Then I flashed back to my memories to my mother and father. I snapped my self out of it.
"I'll be there for sure, I surley do want to see this long gone child, have a great night and I'm really fowarded to eat some of your yummy food." I said back with a giggle.
She was gone. Again I'm left alone. Sitting on my sofa on my laptop searching up the latest trends. Then I decided to check on my email. My old email. I logged in found that i have more than 500 unread messages, mostly all from my parents and relatives.
