How Broadway Became My Home [ Aaron Warren story]

Chapter 377

Nick woke up the next morning to get ready for work. We followed suit quickly  behind him.   I  went into our kitchen to brew some coffee for my siblings to drink, put out their mugs on the  island, and start cooking breakfast for us to eat. Annie walks in next greeting " Good Morning Sweet T." She pivots to  mix her coffee. Within minutes I replied to her " Morning Sis."

Our brother  joins us last in the kitchen greeting " Good morning Girls." We replied to him in unison " Morning Chad." Seconds later he  took the cue left by our sister. Both of them set our kitchen table in a deep conversation with each other. I poured out my drink to put back the carton in our  fridge.

Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 am. Everyone else sat down  around the tables dishing out our food to eat. Our usually drinks are coffee and juice. We ate together like one big almost complete happy family. Soon after eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

The group grabbed our stuff while exchanging goodbyes to each other. A good percentage of us head straight to the subway station to catch one for school or work. Lori is currently sitting by her window reading the newspaper. As for Sam picks her partner up for work in the cruiser. Seconds later they drove straight to their police station.

I arrived at Delightful Desserts to greet everyone, put down my stuff in the lounge, and sign in.  Within minutes I am finally behind our counter preparing Blaine's usual breakfast order for them. Our loyal customers are patiently waiting in the long line. I put their order on the far end of the counter. My coworkers are taking tons of new orders.

Blaine shows up   that morning in our bakery. They always greeted and talked to him. Everyone else in front of him left for work. Seconds later it's now his turn in our line. He picks up their order, paid for it, and greeted " Good morning T." Both of us stood in our corner talking to each other. I returned his greeting. Our friend leans in closer to give me a goodbye kiss.

Soon after that he walks all the way down to their theater for work. He waits on the sidewalk with full hands. Many of their costars helped him open both sets of doors. All of them walked down the aisle together. Blaine stopped just before the stage stairs. Our guys greeted each other with a man hug then sat down in the pits to eat breakfast. Both of them threw away their trash in the bins.

Blaine and company went into wardrobe, hair, and make up to get ready for the show. Meanwhile over at our bakery where I am now bussing  some dirty tables. Everyone warms up backstage together.  House lights are dimmed. The show begins exactly at 9:15 am when the curtain rose.

Intermission time is a fifteen minute break. The audience went into the lobby to use the bathroom and get refills for their refreshments. As for the cast they are getting touch ups on their make up. Seconds later the audience is now resettled in their seats again. Catch Me If You Can round two finally starts. It went by a whole lot faster.

Curtain call time came around for that show.  It's cast took their bows to get applause. The audience left after throwing away their trash in the bins. Costumes are put back on the racks. The cast strikes the stage together. Everyone hangs outs backstage with each other.

They always started it everyday. Everyone else took an hour break for it. Lunch time quickly approached at 12:00 pm. During this time we ate and relaxed as a group.  I got up to throw away my trash in the bin and washed my hands.

Our group and all of our coworkers or classmates joined this routine. We returned to our workstations that evening. I am now in our back kitchen washing the dishes. Our guys are running through their lines. They staged it for the next couple of hours.
