"Sweetie, you know that you don't need to come help us" her mother Cynthia greeted her.

"You should have a weekend just for yourself" her dad Joe added.

Stefani took them both in a hug and kissed their cheeks "Don't worry! I love to come and help you guys! I miss you!"

"Oh, darling! We miss you too" Cynthia took her in another hug.

"So...what do you guys need me to do?"

Joe looked around "Can you take the orders for the day?"

"I am on it" Stefani smiled and took the notebook.

Cynthia observed how Stefani looked more happy, more relaxed that she has seen her before. Maybe she finally made peace with her collegues she thought. If her babygirl was happy, she was happy too.

After Stefani took all the orders around she returned to where her mom was staying at a table in the back corner of the restaurant, where was quiet.

"I am done for now"

"Good, Stefi" her mother smiled "How is school going? Any changes? Are your collegues still mean to you?"

"As usual mom, but I don't take them into account. I just let them talk". That is a total lie Stefani said to herself "And, we also have a new History teacher. Ms. Henderson retired"

"Interesting...what's his name?"

"His name is Bradley Cooper...well, Mr. Cooper as we call him"

"Is he handsome?" Cynthia joked

"Mom! Oh my God!" she shook her head

"What? I just asked...don't be so mean"

They both started to laugh, but Stefani's mind was at what her mothers said. Only if you knew mom, only if you knew her head voice said. Stefani loved the relationship she has with her parents. They are like best friends and she can talk eveything with them. Well, almost everyting.

"Well, he is pretty okay. He actually stepped up for me when he saw other students making fun of me"

"That's good. He seems like a nice person. I would like to meet him one day"

Maybe you will meet him when he is gonna become my husband she shook her head. What the fuck Stefani?! He's probably married and beside that, he's your fucking teacher! She needs to stop thinking this things about him, and soon.

-----------------------

It was a pretty boring day, without much work to do. Stefani mostly stood on a chair and talked with her parents.
She went to the toilet and when she came back saw the door of the restaurant opening, her breath catching in her throat. There he was. She thought he was kidding when he said he will visit. Now, here he was.

Cynthia saw her daughter stare and shook her a little "Stefi, we have a new client. Go take his order!"

She shook her head "Yeah. I am going right now"

Her hands were shaking a little. Oh God! This men really wants me dead in front of my parents. Come on, Stefani! Snap out!

"Good evening Mr.Cooper! What would you like to order?"

He looked up from the menu and smiled "Hi Stefani! Good to see you!". She looks so beautiful he thought. "To be honest, I didn't really made out my mind. Can you recommend me something?"

"Ahm...I would recommand you our chef's speciality, the Carbonara"

"Carbonara it is"

Stefani smiled "Coming right now" she went to the counter "A serving of Carbonara at table 11"
