Diner Girl Meets Prince

Meet Diner Girl

MAYA'S POV

"BEEP BEEP BEEP"
I slowly groan, then open my eyes to face the clock that says '5:10AM'. Great, I'm going to late. I jump out of bed and rush to my closet to grab my clothes for the day. I pull out my beat up white high top converse. They're disgusting, but it's the best I've got. Next is my shirt, I look around through my closet for a few minutes before I decide on my cute
to infinity and beyond shirt. Lastly I find my ripped black jeans, and apron.

Ugh. I hate Mondays. Actually scratch that. I hate everyday. I lazily stomp over to my shared bathroom between my neighbor and I. I take a quick shower, change, and then do quick eyeliner and mascara for my makeup. Then I'm out the door.

Oh wow, I'm rude. I didn't even introduce myself. I'm Maya, Maya Hart. Otherwise known as diner girl by the douches who come in to my mom's diner. God, why did my mom have to buy her boss's diner when he quit. Oh well, I guess the good things outweigh that bad. Money, I get to see my mom, and when I finish my art pieces my mom hangs them up for everyone to see. Like my paintings are special or something. Ok now for the bad, guys touching my ass, diner girl, and snooty customers.

I arrive at the diner at 6:10, shit. I knew I would be late.
"Sorry Mom! My alarm went off but at the wrong time,".
"Maya Penelope Hart, you are 19 years old now, you'd think you could get places on time by now,".

I nod my head and rush back to the kitchen to get my apron on and tie my hair up in a low, messy ponytail.
"There's my gorgeous daughter!"
I laugh and turn around to see my dad Shawn standing over the stove making pancakes for the early bird customers.
"Hey dad, nice hairnet,".
I chuckle and point to the hairnet securely placed on his head. He laughs too, and starts doing a bunch of poses to embarrass me. I gab a tray, notepad for orders, my daily orange juice, then head out the door.

I walk down the front counter to see a customer looking like he needs someone to take his order. I look down at my notepad and walk over to the guy.
"Hi my name is Maya and I'll be taking care of you today, may I get you some coffee or orange juice or something else?"

I'm still searching for my pen when he speaks up and says,
"Oh, um," he clears his throat, " I'll have an orange juice and some blueberry pancakes,".
Wow, was his voice attractive, if I wasn't frantically looking for a pen to write down his order, I would totally be hitting on him.

"Here,". I look up from my apron and I see his face. It's gorgeous, dark hair, dark green eyes, and a beautiful chiseled face. He hands me a pen, and I take it blushing.

"Thanks, I must've forgot it," I quickly wrote his order down then handed the pen back to him.
"Here, thank you so much for letting me use it...," I said implying him to say his name.

He chuckled ,pushed the pen back to me, then said,
"It's josh. And keep the pen, you'll need it more than me,".

I blushed again, nodded, then walked away. God, he was hot. Josh, that's a cute name. I clip Josh's order to the line hanging in the window between the restaurant and the kitchen, then ring the bell to get my dad's attention.

Off to more customers. I turn around to see a big crowd outside, with cameras flashing, and body guards pushing reporters away. That's odd. No one ever comes to Missouri. I chuckle, then shrug it off and take more people's orders.

My dad rings the bell to indicate that an order was done, I grab the plate of blueberry pancakes and orange juice and run it over to josh.
"There you are sir, best pancakes in all of Missouri, I assure you,".
He smiles and stares at me for a bit before digging into his pancakes.

"You weren't lying, these are delicious,".
I smile at his blueberry on the corner of his lip. I look at my feet, chuckle, then roll my eyes.

"What? Is there something on my face?"
"Yes actually! Right there," I indicate the spot where the blueberry was located, he found it then quickly wiped it off in embarrassment.

"Well, since we've both been embarrassed in front of each other, I think it's only right if we go to dinner together,".
"Oh yes, it's almost an unspoken rule," I chuckle out. He smiles as I give him my number.
"See you at the movies around 7?"
I nod then turn around blushing so hard. God, a hot guy like that never liked me. I am too excited for this.
