The Nerd

The Outing

I wipe my last table down as the bell rings again signaling a new customer.

I go behind the counter, throwing the rag in a bucket and grabbing two menus.

I walk up to the customers.

"Hi welcome to Sunville Cafe, table for two?" I ask, with a bright smile.

The elderly couple looks at me with smiles and the lady speaks up, "If you don't mind a booth would be nice please."

I nod my head with a smile, grabbing two things of silverware and directing them to their booth.

They sit down and I set there menus and silverware in front of them.

"What can I get y'all to drink today?" I ask, pulling out my notepad and pen.

"Two unsweet teas with lemon," the lady says, with a smile.

I nod and turn to get their drinks. I grab two cups from under the counter, filling them with ice, tea and placing a lemon in it.

I walk back setting the drinks down.

The man smiles, I smile back.

"When y'all are ready to order, Tessa will be right over." I say with a smile, pointing to Tessa.

The lady smiles, "Thanks Hun."

I smile in response and walk off.

"Hey Tessa," I say, walking up to her, "Booth 3 needs services when they're ready, my shifts over."

She stops rearranging the silverware and looks up at me with a smile, "Alright, have a nice afternoon Sam."

"Thanks Tess," I say, smiling.

I walk back to the lockers grabbing my bag and keys and leaving the restaurant.

I walk to my car opening the door and getting in, as my phone beeps.

I read the text,

Clayton- "Don't forget about the outing tonight."

Me- "Eye eye, captain"

I click my phone off throwing it in the passenger seat, and driving home.

I get home, shutting the door and locking it back. It was Saturday so Gammy was off with Cindy for lunch, I had taken a morning shift so it's about 1:00.

I run up stairs, throwing my bag on bed, taking off my apron, and slipping off my shoes.

I let my curly hair out of its ponytail as I walk to the bathroom. I turn on the shower to the right temperature, stripping down and jumping in.

After I get out, I wrap a towel around me and walk back to my bedroom. I grab some undergarments and slip those on and some black skinny jeans and a big baggy white sweater. I throw on some socks and put my back on my glasses deciding to let my hair air dry.

I snuggle under my blankets and turn on Netflix, deciding to watch Vampire Diaries till I meet with the gang.
