     Later today, in the early evening.  I had to work at the coffeehouse/restaurant, a few blocks from my house. My job was simple, greet the newcomers, find a place for them and get their order. At least simple until my friends would come in and tease me... or Wesley (who everyone calls King) comes in. Forgets who I am and makes ridiculous demands, but I don't mind. Because he is soo hot. 

I walk into the back and grab my apron as I sign my self in. The assistant manager Derek, a Irish man, also the father of my best friend.. Lucy. Came into the kitchen as I stepped in ready for work. 

"Ahh, my favourite lass is here." He greeted me, looking at my hair he chuckled and shook his head. "Still don't do your hair right." 

"Nope." I replied, finding a tray with food and drinks on it ready to go. "Never do." 

"Table 4." The cook Mable called as I took the tray and headed out. I breathed in deeply at the homely smells, and the beauty of all the decorations of the diner. I spotted table 4 and gave them the their order. The door dinged as someone entered, I brushed my hair back with my wrists and turned to give them my attention. 

Nikolai stood at the door, like he was confused on why he was there. I sighed inwardly and walked over, readying myself with a smile. 

"Hello! How may I help you?" I said gaining his attention, he raised his eyebrow at me and smiled. 

"Neighbour Hel." He greeted me exuberantly with a smile lighting his face. I grimaced before my emotions caught up. 

"Haha yeah, I'm your neighbour. Hilde. Or Dee, not Hel." I said politely, a forced grin on my face. "That's what my younger brother likes to call me." 

"Hilde, nice name." He said, his accent making it seem like I was his next murder victim. I had to laugh at my self. This guys was hilarious, his serial accent and teddy bear personality. 

"Marcus and Andy's sister." He asked and I nodded. "Neighbour." I nodded again, encouraging him as he struggled with English. 

"Kofedom?" He wondered as he pointed at the room and the people lounging in it. 

"Umm, coffeehouse? Yes. Would you like anything?" I asked motioning to the menu. He looked at it, then back at me. 

"You choose." He accent so thick I had to mull over his words for a second before answering.

"A vanilla ice tea, I think would be perfect for you." I said with a smile. "Follow me, I'll find you a seat."

I lead him to a double person table beside the windows and got him seated as I went back to tell Mable the order. After that I was flagged down or replacements and new orders, just genuinely busy. After a while my friends came in and found a place for themselves, and ordering their usuals. 

"What up, dawg?" Lucy asked and I smiled as I placed their drinks on the table. 

"The roof, or the sky. Depends how far you're looking." 

They laughed as they took their drinks and went back to the conversation before, knowing that I'm unavailable when working. The door dinged again, I looked up to greet the newcomers, only to have my heart flutter. King and some of his gang. His blond hair messy from the motorcycle ride, wearing all black leather and genuinely looking gorgeous. I scolded myself when I realized I was staring. I sauntered over checking my hair unconsciously. 

"Table for four. Two chocolate milkshakes and one vanilla latte, plus a caramel ice mocha. Eight full donuts, honey glazed." King spoke in a bored drawl, not even looking at me. I sighed inwardly again. I waved my hand and lead them to a table. I gave Mable the order and brought it back, they took greedily with out a thank you. I knew they wouldn't tip, they never tipped. 

"Hey, stargazer." Oscär teased as I pasted, I considered smacking the back of his head, but decided against it. Instead I rolled my eyes and grinned. 

"Move your hand a little farther and it would be where you want it to be." I teased back, knowing he has had a crush on Saydee. Who happened to be sitting beside him. Oscär turned as red as cup he was holding. Sticking his tongue out at me as laughed passing by to my next client. Nikolai raised his hand as I neared him. 

"More?" He asked pointing at the empty cup then at himself. His eyes reminded me of the Instagram cat filter. I smiled because I couldn't help it. 

"Of course, I'll get you more." I said writing it down on my little notebook. As I headed back to the counter one of King's friends stoped me with a frown. 

"Waiter, I asked for it to be ice mocha not a hot one." His voice rather hard. I forced a smile and nodded.

"I am very sorry for the inconvenience, I'll will be right back with the one you want." I go to move past him, only to be stoped again. He thrusted the cup(which for some reason was glass) into my chest just as I tripped over his foot.

Annnnd falling was the last thing I remember, before I wake up in a hospital with a bandages on my arms. I grunted hearing the beeping of machines and the wisp of slippers of nurses going up and down the hall ways. 


"Hey! She's awake!" Andy yelled from were he was sitting beside me, with a book in hand. I winced at the loud noise but smiled softly at him.

"What's up, Andies?" I asked my voice cracking with lack of water. How long was I out?

"Oh nothing, you got a concussion after some client tripped you and the glass of hot water burnt and cut your arms. And we've been in the hospital for five hours." Andy replied sitting back as my friends and rest of my family comes stomping on. The nurse attempting to stop them but failing. 

"You idiot! Getting hurt like that." Marcus half shouted half whispered. My mom slapped his  arm disapprovingly. 

"How are you?" She asked turning her  considered eyes. "Any pain?" 

"A little, but not much." I replied.

"The cuts and burns where not bad, the the hit to the head concerned us greatly." Oscär informed me, he, Haley and Lucy smiled at me. Saydee missing as usual. I smiled back at them. 

"I'm fine, just want to sleep till the headache goes away." 

"I'll have the doctor come and check you, then we'll head back." My mom said as she left the room, returning  shortly with the doctor. After being checked and getting approval to leave. Said goodbye to my friends and drove home. Arriving home I went straight to my room, gave my friends a thumbs up to their questions. Abs went to sleep.
