Mackenzie's point of view


I sigh while cleaning the tables, carefully removing all the dirt from the wooden thing. I look up at the wall, my eyes instantly searching for the clock, as I read in the time from the digital clock.

9:46 pm, I read.

Time to finally end this extra shift.

I had to pay the rent for my apartment, and considering my broke ass self, I only had a very little amount of cash left. I had to do this extra shift.

My parents had already asked me about my money issues, they were even ready to give me some money, but my stubborn self wanted to earn it. Not depend on my parents money.

I look around the shop, tables were cleaned neatly, a small little vase placed in the middle of it filled with cute little flowers to make the table look cute. This is the town's most famous pizza shop, so everything had to be done perfectly.

I watched customers still come by even at this late hour. Some familiar faces smiling sweetly at me, making me smile back at them. I looked at people reading from the menu, thinking on what to order.

I look back at my best friend standing at the cashier's place, watching her type in the computer in front of her as she talked to the customer who was paying the bill.

"KENZIE!!" I hear the familiar deep voice ringing in my ears, as my eyes shoot straight up to the 'Staff only door' making me walk super fast to the door.

The delicious aroma of pizzas fill in my nostrils, making me grin at the sight. Chef Ross was glaring at me, making me look at him suddenly.

"Before you say anything!! I was cleaning the tables" I defend myself, grinning at him making him more irritated.

"You should taste this fast" He orders making me nod my head at him, as I take a bite of his tasty treat.

Chef Ross was like my father. He is in his late forty's and is still rockin it!! He devoted half of his life to this pizza shop. I remember the first time I met him, he made me his special pizza to welcome me to this shop. In fact, he is the owner of this shop.

A wonderful old man.

"I want this at my wedding" I state, moaning at the taste of his treat.

It was actually a brownie which had molted chocolate inside of it which suddenly melts in the mouth if you taste it.

"Sure, now go and take a rest" He orders to me, making me nod my head softly at him.

"Okay"

Well, he was like a father figure to me, if I hadn't mentioned already. I loved working here!! I got left out food to eat, enough money to pay for the living and I was pretty satisfied with my life.

I walk towards the small sofa, sitting there while taking my phone from my pocket.

I raise my eyebrow at the sudden notification I got when I opened my phone. 

Unknown number?

I tap on the notification.

I raise my eyebrow at the texts between this unknown contact. 

Is someone pranking me? 

I shake my head, trying to ignore the thoughts clouding my mind as I close the app.

"RESTING TIME IS OVER!!" Chef Ross shouts at me, making me stand up straight immediately, as I put my phone back in my pocket walking fast to him.
