Unfolding The Unplanned.Chapter 04: Famous Walking?
(*) Lacey's Point Of View (*) – May 2017 (Big Time Jump.)
"Hi my name is Lacey, I will be your waitress today. Are you ready for me to take your orders?" I ask the group of four girls, the girl on the furthest seat on the right hand side whips her head up from her menu, she gives me a small smile and then looks back down at her menu, at least she is nice, the others in the group haven't looked at me, and maybe they are awkward?
"Erm girls are we? I am but not sure if everyone else is." She sheepishly says, I place one hand on my hip as my hip is hurting me at the moment due to the fact that I have to carry the twins everywhere in their car seat. I can carry them around without any harm but when they are in their car seats, my hips starts to hurt, dam I am getting old. The girl whips her head around, searching for an answer on the other girl's faces, one of the other girls nods her head and the other two girls shrug their shoulders in response.
The girl who is speaking to me has blonde hair, down past her b00bs, she is wearing a blue demine shirt and this is open, underneath her shirt, she has a white tank-top paired with black skinny jeans. The girl to her right hand side, she is wearing a blue polka dot dress which makes her look like a five year old but I don't want to get into an argument with her so I will keep it to myself. The next girl is wearing a black high top with holes in her shoulders. The last girl is wearing a 'Beatles' t-shirt on with a black skirt on.
"Well I will order for myself then and I will guess the others. They have had about ten minutes to think of what they want to drink so if I don't get it wrong, don't blame me. I will have a coke a cola while Sharron will have a glass of water and Tina will have a lemonade, then last but not least Lily will have a sparkling water." The girl simply replies to me and I quickly, get out the little notebook to write down the girls orders down. Once I write down the girls orders, I walk away from the table and place it onto the till by the check-in-desk which is by the bar.
"Hey Lacey, what time do you get off?" My colleague Betty asks me as I approach her, she whips her head back down and continues punching some numbers into the till. Betty is quite pretty, she is twenty years old and currently in her second year in university – she wants to become a lawyer. Betty has cherry red hair, she had blonde hair beforehand but she wanted to dye it red and it suits her so much, way better than the blonde did but I am not sure if she can have red hair when she becomes a lawyer. Betty has minimal make-up, just foundation, nude lip and mascara. However, her make-up suits her, she is wearing a light blue sleeve-less t-shirt with black skinny jeans. She isn't wearing the 'Little Blackcurrant lane' café's uniform as I am guessing that she just came straight from university.
If you haven't guessed yet but I work at 'Little Blackcurrant lane' café and I have been working here since the twins were about two months old due to the fact that I quit (well got redundant, I am not bitter or anything) my last job as I had to take loads of time off due to the twins being in hospital and apparently this means that I am un-reliant so they make me redundant which I wasn't happy about. Anyway, so I had no job so I went job hunting one day with the twins, while Toby was at work and I came across this café and instantly fell in love with it. It is a vintage tea room and I really like it here.
"Erm I get off in about half an hour, I have loads of stuff to do." I simply reply to her, my thoughts drifting back to Betty as she takes her bag off his shoulders. "I am so tired." I whine out as I quickly, grab table two's drinks.
Carefully I bring them to the table, the elderly couple thanking me as I take down their food orders and walk back to the till, placing the piece of paper onto the till, ready for the cooks to look at the paper and cook the food for them.
