Since I had been mean to Stokeley and I didn't trust Jahseh with her just yet I had to take her to work with me which wasn't that hard.
I mean she stayed in the back with my manager while I handled the tables so it wasn't bad, my manager didn't care she said she understood but still gave me an warning.
I was cleaning a table when my name was called "Lucy, you have new people at table five" Tania told me, she sits people so when new people come in she tells me so I can get as many tables as possible considering my situation.
I nodded and walked over to the table, looking down as I got my notebook and pen out to take the order. When I looked up I was in front of the table and there sat Jahseh with some girl but I didn't say anything about it.
I pretended I didn't know him and put a smile on my face.
"Hello my name is Lucy and I'll be your server for today" I smiled.
Jahseh looked up at me with an kind of confused face before he looked back down shaking his head and then the girl spoke.
"We need sometime for our orders" she told me and I nodded.
"Just let me know if you need anything" I told her before I walked away and to the back where Jahliyah is.
"Is she okay?" I asked Jurisa and she nodded.
"She's fine she just seems tired" she told me and I nodded, kissing Liyah's head before going back to my job.
I went to table 11 first since they already had their drinks to see what they wanted. After they ordered I went over to table 5, Jahseh's table.
"Hi, could I get you guys drink?" I asked and he looked up at me again from his phone and his eyes never left me.
"I want a Arnold Palmer" he told me and I nodded, writing it down.
"And for you?" I asked the girl while his eyes burned into my soul.
"Just a water" she told me and I nodded.
"Okay I'm going to be back with you guys drink and menus" I told them before I walked away to go tell someone to fix their drinks while I tended to more tables.
Once I was done with one I went to get their drinks and menus and give it to them.
"I'll be back in a minute to take your orders" I told them and Jahseh held an nonchalant face but he also looked like he was going to kill me.
I left them and sighed going to handle more tables, this was weighing on me but I wasn't going to let it stop me from doing my job.
I mean it's just Jahseh.
After I had picked up my tip from table 11 which was a twenty and then more tips that added up to 100 so far I went back to his table.
"Alright are you guys ready to order?" I asked them and she nodded but before she could speak Jahseh did.
"Where's Liyah?" He asked me making me look at him as my cheeks turned red.
"She's fine" I told him, not telling him where she is.
The girl looked confused.
"Sorry, you two know each other?" She asked and he nodded.
"She's the mother of my baby" he told her and she just nodded.
"This is my sister, Ari" he told me and I nodded at her and shook her hand.
"I have to take you guys order" I told them and they nodded at me.
"You already know what I want Lucy" he told me and I nodded and wrote down his steak.
"And for you?" I asked his sister and she ordered.
I sighed and went back to give their orders to the cook before I went to go check in Jahliyah again.
This time she was sleep and Jarisa was on the phone so I didn't bother them and went to check on my others tables but when Jahseh's food was done I brung it out to him.
"Sit down" he told me this time and I shook my head.
"I can't Jah, I'm working" I told him and he gave me an stern look but I still wouldn't.
"You're going to get me fired" I told him and he didn't seem to care.
"Lucy!" I heard my manager call from her back office so I walked away from them.
I went to the back to see what she wanted.
"It's five thirty, you're off now" she told me and I nodded and clocked out, picking up Liyah's baby bag before I carried her in her car seat out the back way after thanking my manager for watching her for my shift.
I'm good now, I mean I'm pretty sure the new girl will take over my tables for me since she always does.
I sat her in the car before buckling the car seat and then going on the other side and sitting her baby bag down.
"Lucy" I heard my name softly called from behind me making me jump before I turned towards Jahseh.
I'm always mean to him over the phone or like when I've had a long day but I'm vulnerable right now and it's really hard for me to try to be.
"Hmm?" I asked him as I looked at him.
He took my hand from by my side and opened it, sitting a stack of cash in, surprising me.
"I can't take money from y-" he cut me off.
"Consider it child support or your cut for me using our story in my songs, either or" he shrugged and told me before he walked away.
He's making me forget that I'm mad at him, I don't need to do that, I need to stay made at him so that I won't go back to him.
I need to hate him.
