She Will Go Down in History

Chapter 4: Orders to the Chef

I began filling the glasses with the drinks.

"I can't believe we're waiting on Prince Alexander and Prince Louis" Jaya whispered excitedly.

"Yeah, me neither" I nervously chuckled but I was actually a little terrified.

After filling up the drinks and getting the baskets of fresh garlic bread, I went out into the roar of laughter and loud conversation. I set the drinks in front of the correct person and placed the appetizer on the table.

"Are you ready to order?" I asked as I pulled out my notepad and pen.

"I'm torn between the Vitello Alla Milanese or the Petti Di Pollo. Which would you recommend?" Prince Alexander asked

"Um..." My mind went completely blank. Fuck why was this happening? I felt someone looking at me from the corner of my eye. It was most likely Emilio which didn't help at all "I would recommend the Vitello Alla Milanese because of the arugula which really enhances the flavor of the chicken"

"Excellent, I would take that," he said as he handed me his menu. I finally felt the pair of eyes off me

After taking all the orders, I went to the kitchen and gave the orders to the chef.

I sat down for a minute to catch my breath. That blank out was scary as hell. That has never happened to me maybe I was under too much pressure. I needed a vacation.

"Zara, your table needs a water fill" a co-worker said. I grabbed the water pitcher and went to the table. I carefully began to fill the glasses and once again I felt Prince Alexander staring at me. I wish he would stop, it made me so nervous. I felt a splash and glass break near my feet

"Oh sorry" the younger Prince said. He also looked a little drunk

"Louis your piss drunk, you can't even hold up your own head, "Prince Alexander said in a harsh tone. I bent down to clean up the mess.

"Let me, please" Prince Alexander insisted as he began to stand up

"Oh no, it's fine. It happens" I cleaned up the glasses and went to the kitchen. I now reeked of alcohol.

Next Jaya, I and the other two waiters brought out the savory cuisines

"Here's your meal, Enjoy!" I said then we caught each other's eyes and everything slowdown like we were in a cheesy romantic movie and we were the only ones that existed. Luckily Jaya pulled me out of the way before I collided with a tray of glasses

"Ok I owe you my life," I said once we made it into the kitchen

"No staring remember," she said as she smirked

"I wasn't staring, he was looking too"

"Good thing Emilio didn't see you"

The customers finally left and I was collecting the checks and my eyes bugged out of my head. TIP: $3,000 

"All your work was highly complimented especially Zara, one of the Princes complimented you. You did a great job" Emilio said

"Thank you, sir" I smiled.
