Lethal Love

Chapter 2

~~~~~~

As soon as I enter the diner I roll my eyes. Its so crowded. I dont even know why someone would want to spend their Monday afternoon in a boring diner anyway. I sure as hell don't.

I walk around to the back of the counter to clock in before I am given a tardy. If I had the option to not hear my boss, Nelson yell at me for being a screw up id accept it. "Lilly thankgod your here! Its so busy in here. I need you at table 4 as soon as possible" My co-worker Taylor says to me.

I grab my apron and menu and head over to table 4. I meet a family of seven. The little boy who I assume is the baby of the family is sitting in a high chair.

"Hello my name is Lilly and I will be your waitress for this evening. Can I interest you in any starters or drinks?" I say and roll my eyes annoyed by the fact that so many people were here.

I quickly scribble down their orders on my notepad and walk away quickly without a second glance at the family.

I hated to see families together laughing and enjoying each others company. You may call me sour but I have a reason. My parents and I never got along when I was growing up. My dad, Calvin is a Heart surgeon while my mother, Emily is a Lawyer. Yes, growing up I had lots of material things and was very wealthy but I never got that feeling of love and appreciation. My parents were always to work or parties leaving me and my sister, Lauren home by ourselves. Now you may say well you had Lauren well she wasnt anybetter than my parents.

She was just as wealth consumed as my mom and dad were. But I never wanted any of that. I just wanted to feel loved and be seen as a daughter instead of a trophee.

I turn their orders into the chef and go to wait on another table. This table is occupied by a man with what looks to be brown curls and vibrant green eyes.

His pink lips curve into smirk as I walk up to his table.

"Hi my name is Lilly and I will be your waitress for this evening. Can i interest you in any starters or drinks?"

"Yes, I would like a Iced Tea please Lilly." he says. The way my name flows off of his tongue like velvet gives me shivers.

"Im sorry but we dont serve Iced Tea here"

"Oh. Well im not really used to coming to these diners. Would you my mind giving me a menu and your personal favorite?". He has a thick british accent. I wonder what part of England he is from..oh crap the menu! I must have left it on the counter when I was giving the orders to the chef.

"I will be right back with your menu."

I quickly walk to the counter and I was right. I left it right on the table. I grab it quickly before my boss sees me and reminds me of how forgetful I am, not that he is lying but I know im forgetful and I dont need anyone to tell me.

I walk back over to the man.

"Here is your menu and as for my favorite, I dont eat this shit." I say and walk away.

I walk by the counter and scan the room for any open tables. There is none so I just wait awhile before I go back over to take his order. Out of the corner of my eye I see him looking at me. I guess he is ready to order.

"Are you ready to order?" I ask him

"No"

"Then why are you looking at me?"

"Cause you're pretty" he says and smiles

"um..I have a boyfriend so I suggest you order you food, eat it and get out." I growl

"Wow he sure is a lucky man" he smirks

That damn smirk.

"What would you like to eat?" I say ignoring his last comment.
