Your P.O.V

"It's gonna be a long night, i will probs finish at around 12." You tell Lucy as you put on your shoes and close the house door. Tonight was the third year anniversary of the Osterfield Restaurant opening. You had a long shift ahead of you and were not looking forward to it. You had already put on your uniform and were driving to work. You reach the restaurant and make your way inside.

You walk in and see the restaurant all changed. There were fancy balloons hung up on the walls. Tables were set with new cutlery. Slow songs were playing in the background and the whole atmosphere had changed. You see Mrs.Osterfield all dolled up, smiling at you from behind the counter. You greet her with hugs and smiles. You see your other co-workers in uniforms which reassures you and doesn't make you feel left out. The restaurant is full of people, everyone enjoying their food. On a separate table there is a Huge designed cake, waiting to be cut.

"Where is Harrison?" You ask.

"Were actually just waiting for Mr.Osterfield, Harrison and some of his friends so we can cut the cake." She states. You turn around and see Harrison walk in, with Valencia and her girl group. Everyone was so dressed up. You then also see Tom behind them walking in with his car keys. He looked good and cleaned up well. He was wearing a collared shirt which exposed his arm muscles. Making him look 10x hotter. Harrison sees me and gives me a smile followed by a hug.
"Hey," he says.
"Hi, so you must be the new waitress, Harrison always mentions ." Valencia tells you as she moves her hair out of her face.
"Yes, I have a name." You point towards your name tag and turn around to avoid eye contact with anyone else.
"So mate, lets get this mother fucking party started." Shouts Tom. You can't help but laugh inside.
"Language." You here Mrs. Osterfield say.
Mr. Osterfield walks in wearing a navy blue suit and greets everyone. Mr Osterfield then tells you to set up and bring plates and a knife from the back so the cake can be cut. You rush in and feel like your being watched. You bring the knife and everyone is gathered around the table. The staff members. Harrison and all of his friends. And you.
You hand Mr Osterfield the knife.
"Well before we cut the cake, I would just like to say a few words." Mrs Osterfield says, with her watery eyes. She starts to talk and takes time while giving her speech.
You can't help but notice Tom's eyes on you. You wonder why he did not even have the decency to say hi to you. You look at him and look back at the table. You see him smirking. Which makes it hard for you not to look again. You look again and then walk away from the table and pretending like you have some unfinished work to do at the back in the kitchen.
Tom's P.O.V
I look at her frequently not able to get my sight of her. There was something about her. How come I have never noticed her in class or anywhere. I ask myself.
The only reason I came tonight was so I could see her again. I look at her and she looks back and then leaves and heads into the kitchen. Why did she leave? Did I make her feel uncomfortable ? I ask myself thousands of questions. Mrs. Osterfield is too deep in her speech that she doesn't notice me when I leave the table and go to the back of the kitchen.
"Hey, umm we're about to cut the cake..so" I say to her, like an idiot.
"Oh yeh, I'll be out there in a min" she tells me nervously.
I wait for her. She waits for me to leave, but I'm way to stubborn. She finally decides to come, I walk out of the kitchen behind her. I see Valencia looking at me as I walk y/n out of the kitchen.
The Osterfield's finally cut the cake as everyone claps and celebrates.

YOur P.O.V
Everyone has eaten cake and now it's your duty to clean up. You take all the dishes and start washing up. You then see Valencia walking towards you with her cake in her plate. It looks like the cake hasn't even been touched. Just as you are about to take the plate from her she "slips" and the cake goes landing on all over your clothes. You are now covered in chocolate cake with fudge icing and sprinkles. The whole room looks at you.
"Oops. Sorry?" Valencia says while questioning her sorry. You don't react but give her a fake smile.
"Val, that was not cool. Cmon." Harrison says as he defends you.
"Look I didn't do it by accident, I slipped." Valencia says.
"So you just happened to slip , a whole piece of fuckin cake on her chest?" Tom says with anger in his voice. Wow, damn. You think to yourself. He is one hot lad when he is angry. You look at him. His face is full of anger and confusion.
"It's okay, It was just an accident." You state trying to prevent a fight from taking place.
Mrs Osterfield notices and gives you the day off. She asks Harrison to drop you off home.
"Oh Mother, I didn't even come in my own car. Tom brought us all here." Harrison tells his mother.
"Oh then Tom darlin, please can you drop her off home. She's a mess." Mrs Osterfield says.
"Yeh of course." Tom says as he smiles at Mrs Osterfield and then looks back at me. Valencia gives you both some bad glares and walks out of the restaurant in disgust. You then follow Tom to his car and sit inside.
