Opening Up

First Day Jitters

It's Jessie's first day at Lulus Pie Diner

Jessie's POV
Don't screw this up! Even though Raymond, my abusive ex-boyfriend, is getting out of jail today he is still on probation. So he can't hurt me. The bright lights of lulus pie diner show that I am in the right place. I open the door to see very few people there. But a little girl runs up to me. "Hi! My name is Lulu!" She says. She is a pink and white stripped shirt and blue overalls over it. She also is in pigtails. "Hi Lulu! Is this your diner?" "No it's my mamas. But she named it after me! What's your name?" "My name is Jessie. Isn't that very sweet of her." She quickly reaches into her pocket and pulls out some dough. "Wanna make some pie?" "I am sorry but I can't. I have to find a women named Dawn." I say looking around. Lulu quickly runs over to a rather skinny women with short black hair and brings her over to me. "This is Dawn. Dawn this is Jessie." Lulu introduces us. A women comes up behind Dawn and looks at me. "Hi I am Jessie. You must be Jenna. I can see the resemblance in your daughter." I said. She just gives me a look and then pulls me into a hug. She whispers into me ear, "don't you ever go near my daughter again" she quickly walks to a couple at a table and takes heir orders. I exchange hi's with Dawn and then she shows me the ropes. After a while we get to talking. "So what are you like?" Says Dawn as we start to wash the dishes. "What do you mean?" I say. "Like you know, love life, family life, hobbies, exercise stuff like that." "Well I don't have much of a love life. My husband died about 2.5 years ago. And I had an abusive ex-boyfriend who went to Jail, who actually gets out today, but he is on probation. My family is from Connecticut, but I moved to New York for a few years. But now I am here. I used to be a nurse." I say. Dawn gives me a look and a half. And she just keeps cleaning the dishes. But then we get to a little more talking when all of a sudden I feel strong hands on my back. I drop the dishes I am holding onto the sink with such a loud clank. The dishes almost broke. "Relax Jenna. I didn't mean to... your not Jenna." He says looking at me. "No I'm not I am Jessie Madson. Nice to meet you...." "Cal, the names Cal." "Nice to meet you Cal."

The rest of the day passed quit quickly. I got some decent tips and went home. But before I left Lulu grabbed on to my leg and screamed for me to not go. So I picked her up and sat her on one of the booths and I talked to her. I asked her about her life. "I have a momma. She is real pretty. Maybe you could be my other Mommy. I don't have a daddy and my momma is always yelling at me. She once got so made she through something and this happened. She said sorry but t really hurts." She said showing me her arm. "You know I use to be a nurse." I get her arm and saw were the glass had broken her skin. I took out my kit from my bag and put some stuff in her arm. "IT STINGS!" She screams. She started to cry. "Don't cry Lulu. It's gonna feel better soon. Don't worry." I picked her up and put her on my lap. I tried to sooth her and it worked. I took my tweezers and pulled the little piece of glass out of her arm. I quickly put a bandaid and some cream over it. "Thank you Jessie!" Lulu says jumping off my lap. She gives me a hug and runs to her momma. Jenna is gorgeous. Beautiful long brown hair, gorgeous brown eyes that remind of chocolate, and luscious pink lips that finish off her face. And she gives me that look again. I can't quit tel what it is.

Jenna POV

This Jessie girl is perfect. I can't believe she fixed Lulus arm. Her golden hair is curly and gorgeous, she has a warm smile that just makes my heart melt. Her figure is flawless and Lulu is obsessed with her. I could get lost in those eyes for hours. Wait, am I falling for her?
