Me and My Big Black Annoying Glasses

Ch 2

I walked in to work a couple minutes late, I didn't think I was going to be late so I took the long way towards my work. I was a waitress at a diner called Jesse's. I've worked there for a month now and was started to like it, it wasn't a permanent job but it'll do while I'm still working up to pay for college.

"Alyssa! Your late!" Ernie yelled at me in his Italian accent. I picked up my pace, and slid under the counter grabbing a spare uniform. "I know I know! Blake made me go to the stupid Guitar place again." I yelled while walking into the back, "And Ernie. Don't let anyone back here I'm changing." I said closing the door. "Will do sweetheart!" He yelled behind his back while cutting up a salmon.

I quickly changed into my black skirt and a white button up shirt. I threw my hair up in a pony and moved my glasses back up on the bridge of my nose. I grabbed a pad of paper and a pen that had 'If your Hungry.. Come to Jesse's!' printed on the side.

I let out a breath, "Okay I'm ready." I made my way over to the scanner and check myself in making sure that I get my correct hourly pay. Once I was done with everything and I made sure I was presentable. I made my way out of the swinging door.

"Record time!" Ernie yelled. I laughed. Wanda came up to me and grabbed my arm, "Come on chop chop sweetie your late again! Table 5 is ready for you!" I nodded, walking away from Wanda.

She was a short African American. I loved her to death, she and Ernie were happily married for 15 years. They were Ike my other family. When my real family wasn't much.

I pushed my legs to go faster towards table 5. Once I reached it I said the cheesy slogan that every waitress has to say at one point in her life. "Hello, welcome to Jesse's, we have Coke products, and several flavors of lemonade. We have Cherry, Strawberry, Gra-"

I was cut off by what looked like a motor cycle hang banger, "Honey shut the chit chat and let me talk." He took off his glasses and set them down on the table smiling a toothy smile up at me. "I would like a Beer and my friend should be coming in soon so just get me my drink and take his later." I nodded "Okay then i need proof of I.D please." He gave me this look, "Sir its just the rules." He sighed and pulled out his I.D I looked at it 35. I smiled and asked if there was anything else. He shook his head,and I walked away trying not to grimace at his attitude.

"Wait Miss!" He called, I turned back around. "Yes?" I asked. He smiled another toothy smile, "Can have it in a Bottle?" I nodded and walked away. Back around to the counter.

"So why are you late again?" Wanda asked hitting her hip against mine. I laughed, "Because Blake likes to torment me by bringing me to the stupid Guitar shop. He needed his precious Baby polished and the strings changed." I said grabbing a beer bottle.

"Didn't he just get them changed?" Wanda asked. I nodded, "Yeah two weeks ago! And he only played it once!" I said putting my arms up. Wanda laughed, "That boy is something else."

I pointed at her, "Tell me about it." I walked away carrying the bottle in my hand.

When I reach Table 5 there was the same man but also another. He had Green eyes and an 5 o'clock shadow. "Here's your Beer." I said handing the man his drink. He took a swig of it once it reach his palm. I held back the urge to roll my eyes, I looked over at the other man, "And what beverage can I get you." The man smirked, "Beer please. But not in a bottle in a mug if you will." His voice was like a snake hissing in your face. It made me want to shove him away and run into a corner. I nodded, then asked for his I.D. He gave me the same look the other guy did.

I gave him the look back at him. He took out his wallet and chuckled, "I like you. Your the first waitress that is actually real with the customers." I smiled, "It's my job sir." He nodded and showed me his I.D. "Thank you. I'll be back to get your order." I smiled and walked away.
