Love Thy Roommate

[Edited] Chapter 13: The Thing With The First Date!

Nova:

God! Today was the worst day ever! 

This non-ending crowd at the diner was literally make me go nuts! 

Plus, I hadn't even eaten my lunch yet and it was already evening! 

Huh!

"Hey, Nova, you don't have to be here! Your shift has already ended!" Kara said, walking towards me.

I looked at her for a second but then returned my attention to the burger, I was making right now.

"I know I can leave... but you only have three waitresses here today! If I leave, you would not be able to manage the crowd here." I said to her.

"Its okay, Nova. I'll manage something! You haven't even eaten your lunch yet!" Kara said, placing the burger on a tray.

"I'm not hungry... okay?" I said, lying through my teeth.

"You have to take care of yourself, Nova!" She said, looking concerned.

I was about to say something when I heard:

"She's right! You gotta take care of yourself, Brownie!"

Scott.

I turned to see Scott leaning against the kitchen door.

"Ace! What are you doing here?" I squeaked.

"I wanted to pick you up after the end of the shift since you didn't have you own car!"

"Oh..." I said, looking at him.

Shaking my head, I said, "I can't! There too much crowd here!" I quickly gave him a pleading look and walked past him to the tables to take their orders.

When I returned to the kitchen, Scott looked at me and said, "Kara says she can handle the crowd here, Brownie, I'm only gonna say this once... you will willingly come with me to eat something right now or else I'll have to use other means."

I stopped and asked, "What other means?"

"If you come with me right now, you wouldn't have to find out." He said, grinning at me.

"I can't, Ace," I said and ran past him to take other orders. 

Walking past him, I heard him mumble, "You leave me no choice."
