Ada: POV
It was already a tiring day, waiting tables, cleaning messes and getting yelled at by the boss. With my job, it was an everyday thing but today it was just more tiring. But what do you expect when you work a low wage job at a diner. Then just as I was taking an order for table seven a guy walked through the door. As soon as he came in all the eyes in the room shifted towards him.
Anybody could see it, just based on the way that he walked and the clothes that he was wearing he was obviously some form of rich man and womanizer that girls would kill to get with, and men aspired to be. Still, to me, he was just the type of guy that breaks hearts.
Knowing that there was nobody else on the job today but me, after I finished waiting table seven, I, moved to go and take his order
"Hello, welcome to Nummies, what can I get for you today," I said in the most professional tone that my voice could allow. He looked up from his phone and gave me a cold stare.
"What do you want?"
I have already been through too much today to be disrespected for taking a dude's order.
"My guy, excuse me but, I was just asking what you would like to eat."
"Oh, in that case, can I have a glass filled with ice and a coke bottle unopened with a few slices of lemon please?"
"Ummm... ok anything else?" I said because knowing me if I said anything other than that then I would have lost my job
"No, you may leave."
Not wanting to spend another minute with the bastard I walked away and went to the kitchen to go and get the dudes order. It took almost five whole minutes for his single request and I was just about fed up. Just then the cook and also my best friend Mason walked through the door.
"Shottie what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing just some guy that thinks that he is all that. His beverage alone took five minutes to make, I wonder how long it is going to take you to make his food."
"Man if he is like that then I have to do something."
Then Mason took a single hair from his messy head and put it in the ice.
"Let's see how cocky he gets now, with my hair down his throat," Mason said with a smirk. I honestly don't know how we are friends.
"Alright let's see."
I went to go and give the man his food.
"Here you go sir," I said with a forced smile. Then I walked away. And as soon as I walked away he started yelling.
"What kind of rubbish is this! You wiater come back here," And I oop. I held my breath praying to God that it wasn't the hair he was yelling for.
"Who do you take me for?" He asked and his voice was so loud now that the whole room was dead silent.
"What could you possibly mean, sir? I mean you are a human." Hehe, me and mouth will go places one day.
"You know what you did, don't act stupid with me. I know that you saw this hair on my Goddamn ice."
Lord Jesus when he said my God's name in vain.
A scowl formed on my face as I shifted my whole body towards him. "Say it again."
"I said I know that you know that there is a hair in my Goddamned ice. You retard!" The customers in the room started to tense up and there was a sudden queasiness in my stomach. I admit that it was a little too much for me to allow Mason to put hair in his ice but he didn't have to call me a retard.
Then I took the specially made coke and poured it on his head.
"Who is the retard now?" But as soon as I did it I quickly wanted to take back my actions.
The man took turns looking at his shirt and me in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
"Call the manager for me." He yelled, and at that point, I was trembling. Why am I so stupid?
"Ada you are fired." Somehow, someway the manager was right next to me. It was at that point that I knew that I messed up. I turned to the manager starting to apologize, but I noticed that he was trembling as well.
Why is the manager trembling? He is not the one that is losing his job at the moment. I tried to start explaining myself to him but he cut me off.
"I-I am s-sorry Mr. King. Please forgive my under trained employee." This is the first time that I have ever heard this guy apologize, and he has done some pretty messed up shit that is more worthy of an apology than this.
"I don't want to hear your worthless apology! I want to hear it from the foolish person that caused this whole mess."
An apology? This guy had me messed up on several different levels. I turned around and saw Mason standing above me with a scowl on his face. He looked just about as ready to fight as I was but knowing him he wouldn't even hurt a fly. But his language shouldn't be allowed in a church.
"What kind of fucked up shit is going on in here?" Masons harsh voice made me feel more scared than I already was.
"Mason go back to your post this matter doesn't concern you," The manager was trying to look like he wasn't scared as well, but I promise you, the look on Mason's and the other guy's face was terrifying.
I turned around to face Mason and put my hands on his chest. "Calm down, it is sorta kinda my fault anyway."
"What do you mean that this is all your fault! It is all this bastards fault for being fucking rude to you in the first place!"
"Mason stop!" I tried to make his eyes meet mine, but they were focused on the ill-mannered guy. "Your language could use a bit of Jesus though," I mumbled under my breath.
This was all my fault, Mason shouldn't get fired too for my mistakes.
"Sir I am truly sorry for allowing hair to be in your ice and even more sorry for pouring the coke on you," Tears filled my eyes as I said my apologies. Hearing my actions come out of my mouth only made me sound like a crazy person.
I turned to my boss and I already knew that my job here was finished just based on the look on his face.
"Ada get out!" This time I didn't even attempt to ask for my job back, with tears falling from my eyes I looked up to Mason and nodded my head. Then I turned to the guy and saw a tiny bit of sadness in his eyes but he quickly looked away.
With that, I turned around and walked out of the diner.
