"CHARLIE !!" Jason's usual shout keep on repeating when the diner is packed with people. He knows that I'm the only one who knew this diner well other than him so if he can't maintain it by himself, I'm his assistant.

"WHAT ??" He should know that I can shout too.

He turned his head a little to look at me, "Table 16."

When he saw me standing there like a statue, he started to shout again. "NOW ! CHARLIE !"

This man sure has some anger issues.

"Okay. Okay." I repeat myself.

I walked to the counter opposite him to take a note pad and pen.

I am usually the chef here but since it's too busy and Maya and two more people are the cooks, I have no chance but to help the diner.

I heard Jason's voice behind me when I turned around to go to Table 16. "Thank you, angel."

I rolled my eyes knowing that he's teasing me. And I am so sure that he is smirking right now.

Want to know why ?

Because I hate it when people called me by names that are other than my own name.

Like what is the use of my mother gave me the name ?

Back to the present. I smiled at the lady and I assume her, uh nephew ?

The lady looks like she's in her 50's while the guy looks like he's in the 20's ?

"Welcome to King's Corner, how do you like your breakfast today ?" King is Jason's surname. Jason King. He owns this diner by himself with his own harden money and hard work.

They smile back showing their pearly whites. "I'll have two of your strawberry pancakes and coffee," the lady said. "Oh, and one of your special strawberry ice cream. What about you, love ?" She continues then giving the guy a flirty look and a kiss on his lips.

Oh god. I almost puke right then and there.

The guy kissed her back, then proceed to check the menus. While waiting for his answer, I looked at the lady, "You like strawberries, mam ?"

"Oh you're so sweet," Pinching my cheek. I just smiled it off. "Just call me Pam. And my boyfriend here is Zeke. And oh, I love strawberries, it's my favourite."

"Well I can see that," Giving my note pad a look. The lady just smiles.

"I'm ready," Zeke said. "I want a cup of tea, less sugar," in the corner of my eye I can see that he's giving me a pointed look. "A croissant with nutella. Thanks. So much." With a sarcastic tone.

Can someone tell me what is his problem here.

"I'll be right back." And smiles. Pam is the only one to smile back. But excuse me Mr. Cockiness, I will make sure that your ass will be kicked if you keep on giving the attitude.

I teared the paper and passed it to Maya. "May, 16."

People, you see there's pun. In the calendar says that today is May 16.

I crossed my arms and smirked at her. "Haha. Funny." Starting to make the food with a pout on her lips.

"Keep pouting yeah, and Matthew Rodericks will be back."

She threw a plastic spoon at me, but with my great reflexes I dodged it so it dropped to the ground. "Seriously May ? Plastic spoon ?"

She just replied my question with a glare and her usual answer, "Shut up."
