A/N
I just wanted to say I am doing high school sweethearts part 2 after this.
I just wanted to make a short (not really short) oneshot for you guys, so enjoy!
Lucas's POV:
I watched as a girl walked into the restaurant, all alone.
"Hi, table for one please." She said, moving her hair out of her face.
I couldn't help but get distracted. How could someone like her be alone?
She was so pretty.
I shook out of it, I needed to get over this before I got fired for not paying attention.
"Right this way." I said, taking her to a nearby table.
I found myself pulling out the chair for her before she sat down and she laughed a little. "Thanks."
I couldn't resist myself from not smiling back. "No problem. Your waiter will be here shortly."
I then walked away, thinking to myself.
Damn, why didn't I apply for a waiter again?
~~~~~
Day after day, I worked at this restaurant.
It was to pay for my first car since my parents refused to buy me one.
I'm 17 and have my license, but I have no transportation unless my older brother takes me places.
I took out my phone and started going through it.
I saw my boss come towards me and I quickly hid my phone.
It was like getting caught in class by a teacher for having your phone out.
I heard the door open and I looked up to see the same girl.
The same girl I've seen walk in here a few times in the past month.
"Hi again."
She looked at me, smiling. "Hi."
I then saw my boss come over and talk to her.
"There you are Maya, I was waiting for you."
"Sorry uncle Leo, my ride was late."
Uncle Leo?
He walked away and I said to the girl, who apparently was Maya, "that's your uncle?"
"Oh yeah he owns the place." She said.
"But you probably knew that." She said, chuckling.
"Yeah I did."
"It's part of the reason I come here all the time, free food."
'Not that I was complaining'
I smiled and said, "is anyone coming with you today?"
She shook her head. "No, just a table for one again."
It still surprised me she comes here alone.
Maybe she just likes to be alone. I don't know.
~~~~~time skip~~~~~
I walked into work, putting my uniform on over my clothes.
"You're two minutes late." Leo said, coming in.
"Sorry, it won't happen again."
He just shrugged. "I just thought the faster you get here the faster you see my niece right?"
I looked up. "What?"
"You have a thing for Maya?"
"No sir."
I didn't want to say yes just in case he was one of those relatives who didn't let their daughter/niece date anyone.
"It's fine, I think she likes you too." He said.
I didn't know what to say, so luckily someone came in that I could help get to a table.
In the past couple months, me and Maya have talked a lot.
She still comes in every once in awhile, saying table for one.
After helping out a few people, I saw Maya come in. "Hey Lucas."
I put menus down. "Hey Maya, how was school?"
"Meh. That's it really."
"Interesting."
Maya adjusted her backpack on her shoulders. "So um you know the drill...table for one please."
"I think you mean table for two." I said.
"What? I actually mean table for one--"
I laughed at her. "Maya I mean, ill join you today. Do you want to?"
Maya smiled back. "I would like that."
I looked back to see Leo looking at us. "Oh go, I've been waiting two months for this."
We walked over to a table and I pulled out a chair for her like I usually did.
"Thank you Lucas." She said.
"You're welcome."
