Dominick's POV:
"Hey Dommi can you clean the hostess's station before leaving?"
Raven said from the kitchen.
"Okay" I yelled back.
I walked over to the hostess station by the door. Damn it is pouring like a motherfucker out there.
It is gonna be hell to walk home.
Ugh whatever, I'll borrow Travon's umbrella and bring it back tomorrow.
I walked towards the front of the restaurant with Windex in hand.I took out all of the menus and cleaned the greasiness off of them then re-stacked them under the station. Then I took the rag and scrubbed down the counter trying to get all the germs off of it.
Well since that is done I guess I'll do the doors and windows too. I walked over to the door and wiped down the inside then opened it to the outside.
As I walked outside the rain came down harder and the wind picked up too. In the distance the seemed to be a figure running from store to store. Damn that sucks for them.
Turning back to the door I continued spraying and wiping, not paying attention to anything around me. Then I heard wet sounding footsteps coming towards me going quite fast. As I turned around to see what it was, a body slammed into me and sent us both to the ground inside the restaurant.
Ughhh I landed on my arm and damn that is gonna bruise badly. Slightly pushing myself up I noticed that there was a person on me. They were short, like really short. I don't even think they were over five feet. And fuck that hair. Who the hell has purple hair nowadays.
The person got up and looked up at me with rain running down his confused face.
"I am SO sorry. I was trying to get out of the rain but all the stores were closed but then I saw lights on over here so I just ran over. I didn't see you though so sorry for running into you and knocking you down. Oh and for getting you wet, I guess I am soaked. Oh I am still laying on you . I should probably get off you. Sorry again."
What. The. Fuck.
This kid just said that all in one breath and so fast that I could barely understand him. After he got up I stared at him for awhile, taking in his neon green converse, bright red pants, and a Blood on the Dance Floor shirt. I picked myself off and got the rag and Windex that had slid across the floor.
There were a few costumers that had looked over at the door to see what all the commotion was about and soon Raven came out looking confused.
"What's up out here Dominick? Why is there so much noise?"
She looked over at the door where he and the boy were.
"Sorry. He ran into me and we fell. Can you get him a towel to dry himself off with and one for the floor too?"
Raven nodded and rushed to get them. She came back out and was next to them in seconds. Smiling sweetly she handed to boy a towel.
"Here you go sweetie. Why don't you go dry yourself off in the bathroom and when you get out we can have a nice hot cup of tea ready for you. Does that sound good to you?"
The boy lit up and he looked like he was just offered gold instead of just tea.
"Thank you miss. That sounds really nice. What types of tea do you have?"
As he and Raven conversed about the different flavors of tea I continued cleaning the windows like nothing had happened. The boy went and cleaned himself off and Raven went back to the kitchen to finish up some meals before the bar part of the restaurant opened.
I only work the bar on weekends cause Raven says I need sleep for school so she won't let me work late on any weekdays.
Just as I finished with all the windows the boy walked out of the restroom looked dry and refreshed. I walked to the back and told Raven that he was out of the bathroom. She handed me his tea and Insisted that I give it to him. I stalked back to the front with a glare fixed on my face. Damn her for making me serve him. She knows how much I hate people my age yet she still does this to me.
I walked over to the bar where he was sitting.
"Here is your Earl Grey tea on the house."
"Rally? I don't have to pay for it? Why?"
"Well my boss she felt bad for you. So drink the tea and leave. The bar is about to open and kids like you aren't allowed."
Okay I have to admit that that might have been a bit too stern but I just can't help it. He is just so energetic that it seems like he is taking my own energy away.
Yet even though my tone was rough he didn't look the slightest bit upset. In fact, he looked even more joyed. What the heck is wrong with this kid?
"Oh okay. Thank you Dominick."
Damn now because Raven said my name he knows it.
"Oh yeah! I didn't introduce myself! I am Jazz, like the music genre. But I don't really like jazz much it is too boring for me. I like dubstep or alternative music you know. Stuff that I can dance or sing loudly to. Oh but I absolutely hate rap. Okay I can't say that. I only hate the rap that is popular now. All that stuff about boobs, butts, and drugs. It doesn't make sense to me why those things are so entertaining to some people. I mean yeah there are some dudes with amazing butts but I wouldn't write a song about it. Oh wow did I go off on a rant again? Sorry I do this a lot."
I stared in shock at how fast this small kid, that I now know is Jazz could talk. I mean like damn dude, breath. And what was that about guys butts?
"Yeah that's nice. Well have a good night and go home kid."
Walking to the computer I clocked out for the night and went to go tell Raven that I was leaving.
"Hey Rave. I just clocked out for tonight. I'll see you tomorrow."
Raven walked over to me and hugged me. Her small frame and rough hands making me feel like I was a child being hugged by their mother. She very well could have been my mother with how much she takes care of me.
"Don't forget your dinner. It is in the oven being kept warm for you."
"I'll get it now. Thank you Rave. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Dommi."
After getting my pasta from the oven I walked over to the bar and asked if I could borrow Travon's umbrella. I looked over to where Jazz was but he wasn't there anymore. I guess he already went home.
Now time to start the long trek home.
