The Cafe Nearest Me

1. My Shift

(Lauren)
"Ugh, when can I go home?" I've been kind of mad because my boss made me work late. "Soon Lauren."

"I have to feed my cat though." I said making an excuse. My boss rolled his eyes. "You can do that later."

It's 8:00 at night and I'm tired. Plus, my boss can be a bit of a jerk sometimes, as can I. I get grumpy when I'm tired. Just when I thought I would pass out from exhaustion, a customer walked in.

He had a mustache and ray bans on. He looked a bit peculiar.
"What can I get for you, sir?" I asked. "I'd like a salad please." I smiled and nodded, since he ordered something simple. I kept sneaking glances at him.
Why did he interest me so much? It's like I've seen him before. I ignored it and passed him the freshly made salad I prepared and grinned. "Have a nice day."

"You too!"

My boss dismissed me and I started packing to go home, finally.

I got in my car and drove home. Once I got inside I fed my cat and changed into my pajamas. I was really exhausted that night and I fell asleep in no time.

We headed back to the studio very late at night. The cafe I went to was so good I wanted to go back, the waitress was very polite, and... beautiful.

"Bill? Can we go back to the cafe tomorrow? The dressing was so good, and so was tomatoes, and the crouton-"

"Yes, Michael, whatever you want." He interrupted and chuckled.

I was staying in New York for a week. I was looking for a model to star in my new short film. It was called The Way You Make Me Feel.
I only had a few days left, I needed to stop slacking.
