"Jor, I got these next customers ok-" I said, and he nodded, knowing that he was really busy transporting food back and forth, Leading them to their booth, I quickly hand them the menus and give them a couple minutes.
"Hi my name is Alana, and I'll be your waitress can I get you anything." I asked, with a smiled looking at the handsome brunette haired man as he just started at me.
"Ora che ci penso, ho più fame di te principessa." One of the blondes says laughing, causing the brunette to bang his fists against the table. "I'll take the double cheeseburger with fries and an iced water please" the other blonde says with a smile.
After writing that down in my notebook, I turn to the others. "I'll take the same thing principessa" the other blonde said and finally the brunette began to place his order. "I'll take the steak with fries please and make it well done" he said.
Getting ready to take their orders in the back, someone calls my name and I turn to see the brunette following me. "Alana, could I possibly take you out tonight around 8?" He asked with a half hidden smile. "Sure, but I don't exactly know your name" I say, earning a chuckle. "It's Vincent and I'll make sure to leave my number on the receipt." He said winking then walking back to his table before I could respond.

A couple hours later go by, and it was almost time to clock out. "So, did you ask for his number?" Jor says, smiling cheekily. "No, he actually gave me it after asking could he take me out on a date" I said, trying not to show my smile, while remembering the hundred dollar he had tipped.
"Well did you text him?" He asked, causing me to think about the events that occurred last night. "No, I accidentally broke my phone last night" I told him.
He paused for a second, "well I can't allow my best friend to not have a phone and go out on a date with a random stranger, how about I take you to get a new one and find an outfit for tonight-" "No Jor" I cut him off. "You've already done so much for me." I tell him, honestly thinking about blowing this whole date idea over.
"No, we're getting you a new phone and also buying you an outfit, ok?" He said sternly, and I knew I wouldn't be able to convince him not to. "Ok but could I also get ready at your house?" I asked. "Of course, now let's go." He told me, while he rushed to clock us out.

After spending hours at the store, I had brought new iPhone at the store spending some of my savings. When I finally came to the conclusion that I was going to buy a skintight black bodycon dress with a slit just high enough to almost reach my thigh with the hundred dollars I was gifted.
"Great, now all I need to do is text him and get ready" I say, getting slightly nervous, if I was being honest this was only my second date. My first one was nothing but a fucking cheater who was using me throughout high school.
"Ok now, text him and tell him you'll be ready in an hour" Jordan said happily and I nodded. Picking up my phone, I typed his number into the message bar and began to type.
6:30 Me: Hey this is Alana again, I'm just letting you know that I'll be ready for our date in an hour.
After sending the message I began to get ready by getting in the shower, putting my dress on, and applying so makeup on so that Jordan and Vincent wouldn't be curious of the bruises around my body.
"Ok I'm ready Jor" I say stepping out of the bathroom and giving him a little twirl. "You look fantastic Lana, all we need to do it fix your curly hair and I know just how to style it" he says, while getting some moisturizer.
While getting my hair finger coiled for the half up half down look Jor wanted to achieve, I checked my phone to see if Vincent responded.
6:45 Vincent: Ok the location of the restaurant I'll meet you at is 123 W 52nd St.
6:50 Me: Ok it's only 15 minutes away so I'll be leaving out at 7:45.
6:52 Vincent: perfect, I'll see you there.
6:54 Me: wait but can I ask you some questions?
6:57 Vincent: uh sure.
7:00 Me: what exactly did your friend say earlier and what's their names.
7:01 Vincent: their names are Matteo and Adrian and Matteo was just saying some random stuff to piss me off.
7:02 Me: was it about me?
7:03 Vincent: No, but I have to go now.

Arriving at the fancy restaurant, I began to wait for Vincent to come, "Did you text him Lana, it's already 8:15" Jordan said growing impatient. "I'm about to Jor, maybe he just stood me up" I said sadly, while pulling out my phone.
8:17 Me: hey are you on your way i'm here already.
8:20 Vincent: I'm sorry, I can't make it anymore.
"Let's go Jor, could I spend the night at your house?" I say, almost about to cry. "Did he fucki- when I see him again, I'm going to kill him and you're free to spend the night whenever Lana you know this" he said. "Thanks and don't kill him he's not even worth my time, hell I really thought he would pull through for me, when he bailed on his own fucking mother" I said angrily.
"Don't worry about that asshole" he said looking at me while driving. "At least it saves you from dating a dick" he said laughing and I laughed along with him. "On the bright side, we can go eat snacks and watch our favorite show... the vampire diaries, of course" I smirked, knowing I got him hooked onto the show.
