Chapter Four: You're Very Beautiful

Terry's POV

"Remember, Just smile and serve." Danny said making the final touches on my bowtie.

"Okay. Okay. I got it." I whined trying to yank his hands away from my neck. After few more touches, Danny was satisfied with his creation. He gave me a few more instructions and then he was done.

"Okay, I have to go. Wish me luck and don't fuck up anything." Danny grabbed his book bag and he was out of the door. I looked at myself in the mirror trying to figure out what I have gotten myself into. I check my watch to see its 11:30am the time Ginger, Danny's co-worker said would come and pick me up. I tried to calm myself but my nerves were getting the best of me. A knock came through the the door snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Coming." I answered grabbing all my necesitties for the trip. I took one final breathe before opening the door.

"Come on we are running late." Ginger said almost in a screaming manor. She pulled my arm and we were out of the apartment. We rushed through the lobby once the elevator doors opened.

"So do you know what you are doing?" Ginger asked once we started our two hour journey to Hot Springs.

"Smile and serve?" I asked with a smirk and turning my head away from the window.

"No shit, I mean with Amanda."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, does she know you're filling in for Danny?"

"Am assuming Danny told her."

"Well, let's hope for the best."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Exactly that, Lets hope for the best." And with that Ginger turned onto the freeway and we were off into the desert. We drove for straight two hours because Ginger didn't want to risk being late, even though we were.
We arrived around 1:45pm and Ginger was not hiding the fact that we were going to get in trouble. We pulled up to the Hilton Hotel and the valet took our car at the front. We rushed through the lobby so fast that I didn't have time to admire the beauty of the hotel. We got to the kitchen were all the chaos was happening. People were running to and from, a woman was whisking and giving orders at the same time. We made eye contact with her and she looked pissed off.

"Where the fuck have you been?" She asked heading towards our way.

"Sorry Mom, there was a lot of traffic." Ginger responded. Mom? What the hell?

"Who the hell are you?" She turned around and went back to her whisking.

"Umm, am Terry. Am filling in for Danny he couldn't be here." I responded with my voice shaking.

"Well Terry, tell your friend he is fired so that means I don't need your dumb ass in my kitchen," she said practically growling at me. "And as for you, get your ass where you are suppose to be and we will deal with this at home." With those final words, Amanda disappeared behind the double doors.

"What the hell just happened?" I asked facing Ginger.

"Umm, my mom happened. Am sorry you gonna have to wait until 7 to go home. I have to go to work." she said as she put on her apron. "Sorry." She mouthed as she disappeared through the chaos.

So am stuck here for like 6 hours? Why the fuck didn't I drive myself? Oh yeah, because I don't have a car. I walked passed the lobby and noticed how beautiful it is. The crystal chandelier beautifully hanging in the middle of the room.
