Love Should Never Be This Dangerous.

Ryan gets up from his seat and takes two steps to towards Asher and Owens table.

Asher also gets up and Owen is just sitting there watching everything.

I was just trying to enjoy my milkshake but no, there has to be a fight.

"Maybe you should take a seat, Asher. You wouldn't want Maple to get involved." Ryan spits.

"Maybe you should take a seat, Ryan. Wouldn't want Alice to get involved." Asher says looking at me.

However, I think I'm already involved.

"Alice can handle herself," Ryan says still staring at Asher.

I look over at Owen and he is just frowning at me.

What did I do?

The waitress comes over and awkwardly stands there. "The two 'Ultimate Burgers'."

She puts the plates on our table and says to Asher and Ryan "If you wanna fight, go outside. Or better yet, don't fight at all."

Once she's gone, Asher sits back down.

Ryan also sits back down.

He looks at me and smiles.

I just eat my burger.

"Mum! I'm off to work. I'll be back at 9:00pm." I should before walking out the door.

I got a job at a restaurant only 3 minutes away so I can start saving up to go back to Miami.

There are some clouds forming and the wind and getting stronger so I know that a storm is coming.

When I arrive at work, a girl named Skylar introduces me to everyone.

There are 5 chefs called Bailey, Krissi, Georgia, Jake, and Alister.

Jake is only 19 so he's training to be a chef at the restaurant.

Plus he's really cute.

Next, there are 4 waitresses and 3 waiters.

Waitresses names are Bella, Aimee, Destiny, and Kira.

Waiters names are Jay, Justin, and Kieran.  

Most of the people working at the restaurant are between the ages of 20-30 except Georgia and Krissi, they're both 45. 

I help to wait tables and so far, everyone has been nice to me. 

I'm working 5-9 tonight so it's gonna be a long night. 

Around about 6 it starts to get busier and busier. 

"Hey, Alice, can you get table 43 for me? Their food is with Jake so just take it and give it to them." Kira says clearing a table. 

I nod and go to the kitchen. Jake gives me the two plates of spaghetti and I walk over to table 43.  

When I actually see who's at the table I nearly drop the plates. 

It's Owen and another guy. 

Is he stalking me or something?

I place the bowls down and they both say thank you. 

"Alice, can I talk to you?" Owen asks just as I'm about to go. 

"Owen, I'm working. I need to go." I say walking back. 

He grabs my arm and says "Please." With these puppy dog eyes and his stupid adorable accent. 

"Fine," I say. I need an explanation.

He smiles and we walk to a back room. 

"Owen, what's going on?" I ask when he shuts the door. 

"It's a long story. But I need you to stay away from Toby and Ryan." 

"Why?" I ask crossing my arms. 

"Because it's dangerous for you to be with them." He says moving closer to me. 

I look at him for a little too long and he coughs. 

"Owen, I'm not just going to stay away from them because you want me to. Give me a reason." I say. 

"Please, Alice, just trust me on this." He says. 

"Trust you? Owen, I barely even know you." I say. 

"Alice-" He starts but a knock at the door interrupts him. "Alice, it's Skylar. Are you okay in there?" Skyler asks through the door. 

"Yeah, I'm fine! I'll be out in a sec." I say. 

"Okay." She says and I can hear her footsteps walk away. 

I look at Owen and then walk out the room. 

I hate when people tell me what to do!

Last time I checked, it was my life and I could whatever the hell I wanted with it. 

I get back to helping out and Owen and the guy leave about a half an hour after Owen and I had our little 'chat'.

Luckily, Jake offered to drive me home because it was pouring down with rain and freezing. 

When I got home, I talked to Miles for a while and then we watched a movie. 

And now I'm in bed just about to fall asleep. 

Goodnight.
