"Momma Vee table five is waiting on their food!" Yelled Frank from the back.

It was the lunch rush and we were short on staff today; two girls called in sick and no one could cover, so it was just me, Jordyn and Leana working the tables today. It was quite the work out.

"Im on it Frank!" I yelled back to grabbing the food and rushing to bring it to the hungry customers.

"Sorry for the wait, we're a bit short on staff today and the lunch rush is always hectic." I apologized while handing them their food.

"Don't worry about it sweetpea, as long as we have the food now it doesn't bother us!" The sweet mom told me. Nice customers always warmed my heart.
"Well thank you for not being mad. Enjoy the food!I'll be back in a bit to see if you need anything."
I grabbed the empty tray and turned to walk back towards the back room and ended up running right into someone.

"Oh god, I am so sorry!"

"Don't worry about it, it was completely my fault" I looked up at the familiar face, only to see the one person I was hoping to never see again.

"Oh. It's you" I said bitterly.

"Owch, why so harsh princess?" Ashton said.

"Not your princess, and I've got work to do." Before I could walk away. He grabbed my arm stopping me.

"Can I talk to you for a sec? I promise it'll be quick" He asked, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink.

"Incase you didn't notice, I'm a bit busy right now. So unless you want to help me by waiting on some tables, I suggest you leave." I watched as he nodded his head before walking away.

Of course, just as I assumed. He left.

I was leaving the kitchen with table four's food when I nearly ran into Ashton. Again.
"Can you please stop appearing behind me asked him desperately.

"Sorry. What tables do you need help with?" He asked. And I took in his appearance. His long curly brown hair was pulled into a bun on the back of his head,he was wearing a black Polo with "Dana's diner" written on the left corner, with a small black apron tied around his waist.
"What?" I asked him a bit confused.

"You told me to help wait tables or leave. I'm waiting tables. So which ones do you need help with?"
I was in shock. I didn't think he'd actually help.

"Uhm, this is table four's food, bring that to them and I'll tell you which tables to take over."

"Alright. Sounds good to me"

"You know, I wasn't actually being serious when I told you to help me wait tables." I said, turning to face Ashton.

It was 4:30 pm and my shift had officially ended, which means so did Ashtons unofficial shift.

We were in the back room cleaning ourselves up.

"Thank you for your help,but you really didn't need to though." I said turning to face him.

"It's fine, really. I didn't mind."

" I could've done it myself you know." I told him, placing my work uniform into my locker.

"I know. But I wanted to help you."

"Im not helpless Ashton, I-"

"I never said you were helpless Violet. I just wanted to help you. I'm sorry if I came off otherwise." He apologized sincerely.

"No, it's fine. I'm sorry, I just, thank you." I said facing him.

He smiled softly, nodding.
"Now that your shift is over, is it okay if we go for a walk, I still would like to talk to you. If you're okay with that." He sounded a bit hesitant when asking.

"Yeah, of course. It's the least I can do." I said to him.

"Okay, alright, yeah, let's go." He said, sounding a bit shocked at me not turning him down.

"Alright, lead the way." I told him as we walked out the back door of the diner.
