Chapter 3: Will You Help Us?

The next day I decided to go in early, instead of waiting until 1, I went in early when I woke up. So I was in at 9am.

Sandra was excited for my early arrival, she didn't have any other female coworker at this time, so it was just her and Josea. Which Josea was glad with my arrival as well.

The boss paid me over time, and I didn't mind it. I just wanted to see how it would be in the morning.

"Can you go get orders from table 2 they just walked in". Sandra asked

"Uh? Sure". I said happily, and I made my way over to table two, not happy to what I find.

All 3 women were sitting at the table, not just any three women. The three women that Erik had went out with, all days before today. What the hell! The worse part is...there he was on the other side of the restaurant with Celeste.

This must be horrible for the girls, as soon as I walked up to the table, I could hear them talking about there guy.

"So guys with dreads, are so sexy". One spoke

"I know, I just started dating a guy with dreads last week". Another responded

"Same! But I've been with mine for about 2 months now" The third one said. This was just too funny, but again it wasn't my place to speak on it. But then again, maybe just a little Karma wouldn't hurt.

"Are you girls ready to order?" I asked

"Depends? What do you think is best?" One asked

"Well I'd go for the scrambled egg delight meal with a pineapple mimosa. But that's just me". I casually said

"That actually sounds nice, I'd like that". She spoke and they all agreed on the same breakfast meal.

"Okay your mimosas will be right out". I smiled and I walked away. Might as well have a little fun with this, I mean, it's only right. I wouldn't want them to sit there in my face knowing I was getting played and not say anything.

So when I came back with their mimosas I slowly passed them out while telling them the tale.

"So I happen to hear that you guys like dread head dudes huh?" I spoke as I passed out the drinks. Slowly. To prolong my time there.

"Yeah, it's why we all got with one". One spoke will giggles.

"Oh you got with Erik Stevens?" I asked

"How you know?" She asked

"I'm with Erik". Another one spoke up.

"No I'm with Erik". The other said and that's when they all realized they have been played for fools.

After I finish passing the drinks out I looked at all the anger and sadness on there faces. They all have been gushing and talking to each other about their men, not knowing they were all talking about the same guy.

If he slept with each of these women I swear. "Yeah actually you all are with Erik. I thought I'd break it to y'all, because I can't watch my sistas get played. Karma real and I don't want that on my conscious".

I walked away and saw all the girls still sit there together, they didn't move just just scowled at each other. Then I started to feel bad, did I just ruin their friendship?

Nah! I saved them from terrible heartbreaks down the road.

I put all their meals on two trays and walked out to serve them, while trying to lighten the mood. But they weren't hearing it, it like like a sudden cult movement when they all stood and walked towards the bathroom.
