It was so cold this morning that I had goosebumps all over my skin. Me being the idiot that I am forgot a coat. I quickened my pace to try and warm my body up. I started to rub my arms to keep them warm as well. Why was it so cold? It isn't that cold in my house, maybe the windows were closed. Many more thoughts ran though my mind until i came to my usual short cut. I walked into the alley without a second thought. I always took this way to work, but as soon as I was in the middle of the ally I knew something was wrong. I looked around me and found the usual homeless man who I always gave food to after work sitting motionlessly. I said hello to him and he grunted in reply. I kept walking slowly trying to keep my shoes from making the normal 'clack'. Then I felt it, the warm almost clammy hand on my arm lightly gripping me, but it was still firm enough to pull me into the wall.

"So are you the pretty little waitress that always serves my friends and me?", a husky voice says behind me. I recognize it and instantly. I feel hatred fill my body at the ugly sound. It was Daniel.

I scoff and say, "What the hell do you want Daniel? I'm going to work anyways, its not like you aren't going to see me today." I shake his hand off and he chuckles deeply. It instantly sends chills down my spine. He grabs my arm roughly this time and spins me around.

"I want you to take a cruse with me. I have some questions to ask you." he says. His tone was scary enough, but the look in his eyes nearly made me wet myself. I whimpered and he laughed hysterically. I took this as an opportunity to run my shoes making loud 'clacks' as I went. Then I ran into something warm and hard, but yet soft. I felt myself falling backwards. I let out a yelp as my tailbone struck the cold, hard concrete. I opened my eyes to find the face of my crush, Diego Pereira. I blushed instantly and he chuckled lightly, "What in the hell is a young girl like you doing in an alley way like this?" He asked as he helped me up, the humor in his voice apparent. I fixed my skirt and brushed off the dirt that covered it.

"I always walk this way to and from work. It's a short cut.", I said confidently. That was weird I can barley take an order from the boy and now I'm talking to him like we have been sweethearts since day one. I smiled and started walking away when I felt his strong, soft, and surprisingly cold hand grab my arm lightly, "Wait! My brother can give you a ride to the diner if you want." I smiled at him and said, "Well i think I'll just have to take you up on that." He smiled in return and let me go first. I thought to myself, 'For a greaser he sure is a gentleman.'

"HEY ANDRE!", Diego yelled at his older brother as we came up to a red and cream 55' Chevy, "Can we give Lillian here a ride to the diner?" All his brother did was nod and then went back to talking to Jake and Kevin. I practically drooled over the beautiful car in front of me. I may have little knowledge about cars but I did know that I wanted one of these so bad, and so did my brother. I gawked at how shiny it was, these cars just came out and I loved them.

"I take it you like the car." I heard Jake chuckle behind me, I blushed for a second and then said, "Of course I do! Hahaha, yeah umm sorry." I look down and then I hear Jake chuckle yet again. "Don't apologize sweet cheeks I dig a girl who is into cars." He pushes me against the car and then puts his hands on either side of my body. "Listen Jake, I appreciate that but you have a new girl on your arm every week. I don't plan on being one of your trophies." I heard lots of jeers and Jake's face went red. I laughed and pushed his arms away I casually walk away hiding my laughter.

"Can we please go? I really need to get to work.", I said almost impatiently towards the group of laughing boys. Andre practically snapped and then the boys filed into the car. There was only five seats so I stood there stupidly and turned on my heel. Then I heard Diego's perfect voice say, "Wait! We're still giving you a ride. You can sit on my lap." I blush instantly and turn back towards the car. I calmly climb in and sit on Diego's lap.

"You're really light. You need to eat some of that delicious food at your diner.", Diego said wrapping his arms around my waist. "Wouldn't want you to get hurt if we crash." My face heats up and then I jolt back in my "seat" as Andre slams the gas pedal to the floor. I sit quietly and wait until we pull up at the diner. Then I remember what Daniel said, "So Daniel you said you needed to ask me a few questions?" I see him smirk in the rear view mirror, ".Why yes, yes I did. Do you like Diego darlin'?" He asks. I blush and I feel Diego's body heat up as well. I am about to lie when I feel Diego take a deep breath in.

"What does it matter is she does or doesn't Daniel? You always screw with her. Why don't you just leave her alone for once? Huh?" I had never heard Diego speak like that, with authority and a certain rasp that made me shiver. Daniel's face turned from cocky to child-like. I laughed because he looked like a little kid being reprimanded by his big brother. I felt compelled to stick out my tongue but decided against it.

I turned to thank Diego and then I felt my body jerk forwards and I ended up in the front seat. "What the hell!?" I scream. Andre laughs and says, "My brother is such a great seatbelt huh? Haha don't worry waitress, I usually don't slam the breaks this is my baby. Won't happen again." I smile rudely and then climb to my comfortable seat.

"Sorry Lillian. I guess I'm not that good of a seatbelt.", Diego says shyly. I laugh and pat his shoulder awkwardly. "Don't sweat it, I'm fine." He smiles in return and I decide to make a bold move, well for me, and lean against his chest.

I could feel my back rise and fall with each breath he took. It was so weird that I was this confident around him, as I said before I'm a blabbering mess whenever he's around. I take a deep breath in as Andre steps on the gas peddle and notice Diego's cologne. I can't explain how it smelled but it was definitely good on him.

"So Lilly, can I call you that, why are you working at the diner?", Kevin says from my left. I never noticed how his scar moved when he talks, it was kinda funny. I smile and say, " Yes you can call me that. I work at the diner because I don't like bothering my mom for money for clothes and that sort of stuff." He just nodded his head in a slow manner and I looked at him funny. He suddenly burst into laughter, I shook my head and decided not to question it.

"You have a brother right?", Jake says from my right. I nod my head in reply. He nods back and then stares out the window. I give him a weird glance and then feel us crawl to a stop. I look to my right and see the diner I sigh and get off of Diego's lap.

"Hey is your friend working today?", Kevin asks shyly. I smirk and say, "Me and Lacy always work together except for weekends, she had those off." He nods and I swear his smile touches his ears. I get out of the car thanking the boys. "We'll come in after we park. Wouldn't want no damn perks messin' with my baby.", Andre says from his window and then pulls away.

I sigh and walk into the diner. I clock in and get my tray and notebook. Today was the day that I need to summon up the courage to ask for a weekend off.
