I sighed taking a sip of my coffee, which wasn't particularly nice at all. I set the cup on the coffee table and ran my fingers through my long brown hair. I had to be at the diner in 20 minutes and my body was barely making it alive, I knew staying up until 1am watching The Conjuring was a bad idea. I quickly stood up and took another huge gulp of my coffee. Without saying a word to my roommate I exit the apartment. I shuffle my backpack onto my shoulders and press the button on the lift, today was too much effort for stairs. Shortly after the lift came, I got inside and pressed 'Ground floor'. Quickly I swirled my body around and looked at myself in the mirror, ouch, I looked a mess. My hair wasn't straight, it was in loose curls, I decided not to put any makeup on today as I just wanted to chill, I was only a waitress anyway. Once I exited the lift I gave a quick walk to the diner.
"Just on time, here's your apron, you have a table to serve" Sasha says, what's got her all tangled, she's never usually like this. I didn't want to cause anything so I gave a smile, nodded then headed over to my first table. I pulled out my notepad and pencil and stopped just infront of the table. On each seat was five boys, they were laughing and joking, I give a quick cough to aware them that I was waiting for them.
"Can I help you?" I ask sighing a little. All five boys turn to face me, not going to lie they were kinda cute, but they were cute as in the type of "rebel" cute, which was way out of my league.
"We was talking... can we all get fries...large fries with apepperoni pizza, large one that is oh and after that-"
"Is that all?" I ask cutting off one boy who was ordering, I had no time for jokers like him.
"No, actually. We also wanted five large sundaes" He spoke up again.
"Well, tough luck cause we're out of those" I sigh putting my pencil back into my apron pocket along with my notepad. I turn around and walk off. I rip the piece of paper out of my notepad and place it on the chefs kitchen counter. I look over to the boys and they were joking about something, probably my hideous outfit, which I completely hated. The dress was checkered pink and white, it was the frilly type that puffed out and it was way too short for my liking. After 20 minutes of sitting around doing nothing the order was complete. I picked up the first fries and pizza and carried carefully over to the table. I set it down and smiled at the first boy, he looked at me with a blank face acting as if I made a mistake by smiling at him, I turned around and head back, this time I carried three plates at ones, I wasn't sure whether I could do it, but it was worth a try, as fast as I could I shuffled over to the table and placed the three plates left, great, four down one to go. I smiled at the remaining boy before hurrying off, grabbing the last plate I twirled around and hurried over placing the plate down. The final boy gave a smile which made me blush a little, without a word I twirled around and set off back to Sasha.
"Why do boys like that come to this place" I sigh taking a sip of my ice cold soda, Sasha looked over at them then back at me.
"Because they're idiots, they're teenagers." Sasha replies looking at me before taking a few fries and chewing on them.
"But that's not the point, I'm eighteen and I'm not that childish. The one with the lip ring is the cockiest, the rest thanked me when I gave them their food but he stared at me as if he had hated me his whole life" I sighed once again resting my chin on the palm of my hand. Most people who come here are people who are known around the town, but these boys, i've never seen them in my life. One of the boys stands up and walks over, Sasha looks back and stands up winking at me before hurrying over, the boy looks over at me then points, oh gosh, maybe he was making a complaint about how cocky I was when they ordered the food, I felt a smile approach my face but I quickly hid it by taking a sip from my soda. Sasha hurried over and sat back down.
"He want's to speak to you" She laughs winking, my eyes widened, almost choking on my soda that I'd recently taken a sip from. I stood up, and walked over, but damn was I nervous, a cute boy like that wanting to speak to me, I didn't want to sound too cute so my idea was to act stubborn.
"What do you want?" I ask changing the tone in my voice, I seemed to always do this when ever I spoke to a cute boy.
"Hey erm, I just wanted to say sorry for my brothers attitude, he came out a little cocky, he's not sorry, he never is.." The boy speaks up, I bite my bottom lip as I felt my cheeks boil.
"No, it's fine, I shouldn't have been a prick to him, tell him I'm sorry will you?" I reply smiling at him and pushing my hair to one side.
"Will do, I'm Jai..you are?" He asks sitting down on one of the stools.
"Lilac" I smile, by now I found myself fiddling with the hem of my apron. Jai smiles and looks at me straight in the eyes.
"That's a beautiful name, do you have a pen and paper by any chance?" He asks, he didn't have many questions did he.. I simply nod and pull out the notepad and pen from my apron and place it on the counter, before I even had chance to ask him why he wanted it, he opened the notepad and wrote something on it, while he was writing I looked over at Sasha who was eyeing us both, she gave a quick thumbs up before giving a full on tooth smile, I quickly turn back and Jai rips out the piece of paper before folding it.
"Give me your hand" Jai smiles holding the piece of folded paper carefuly in his closed hand.
"Why?" I ask cautiouslly, ah man what harm can it do, without thinking I opened up my hand, I felt his soft skin touch my palm as he spread open his hand so it was flat on mine and the paper lay inbetween our palms. He slowly lifted his hand up before smiling and jumping up out of the stool.
"See you around Lilac" Jai smiles turning around and smiling at me, I gave a slight wave before walking off back to Sasha who I could tell was waiting for the gossip. I sat back down and took a sip of my soda.
"Well sugar, what did he want?" Sasha asked sitting up straight.
"Nothing, he just said that he was sorry for the way his brother acted, then he gave me his name and this piece of paper" I smile, I could tell I was blushing by now which was just what I needed.
"What does the paper say?" Sasha smiles leaning over, I didn't want to find out myself to be quite honest, not like it would say anything bad on it, after all, I just met the guy. I unfolded the paper and written on it was a number with the writing 'You're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, call me sometime' I smiled at the paper and held it tight before putting it into my bag pocket. Once my shift had ended I picked up my backpack , looked over at Jai then exited the diner, seeing that boy made my day, and it was weird because I even said, he was out of my league. I got back to the apartment, put on my baggy jumper and knee high socks before sitting on the couch. I pulled out the piece of paper carefully, I thought to myself, should I text him or should I just leave it.. I unlocked my phone and typed in the number that Jai had wrote down.
'Hey, it's Lilac, finally had the chance to text you:')'
I sent the message before locking my phone and laying down on the couch, I was so worn out. I turned on the television and opened up netflix before playing Season 3 of American Horror Story, I clicked play and that's when my phone buzzed. I unlocked it to see a text off 'Jai'
'Thought you weren't going to text me haha, it was nice meeting you today, we should meet up again sometime' - Jai
'Yeah, would be fun:')' I reply, I felt my eyes get heavy and I looked at the time, 8:33pm, it wasn't even late, I guess that boy really did wear me out.
