Together Again / Brendon Urie

9. Adler

The dinner rush was in fact stressful. That restaurant had a lot of people for a Monday night but I got to see everything in full swing before the weekend and now I get to improve over the next 4 days in time for friday. I mainly just have to figure out where everything is in the kitchen and maybe move some things for better efficiency. Brendon said to make the kitchen mine and I intend to, but slowly, I don't want to piss anyone else off in the kitchen. Charlotte is great, the dish washer Pedro, don't let his name fool you. He is a very smart man putting up with two jobs to support his kids. His wife passed away and he washes dishes during the day before heading to his overnight job and his mom watches his kids. It truly is sad because he barely sees his children from working so much. There's also Denise who is at least in her 40s, Kyle is one of the hosts and several waitresses that I can't remember all their names. I'm lucky I remembered this many to be honest, I'm better with faces.

I get home and collapse on the couch, besides sitting down those two times in Brendon's office. I have been on my feet all day. Normally I'm not bothered by this but I think the stress of seeing Brendon and starting a new job all in the same day. Not to mention he is my new boss, took a toll on my to put it lightly. When I saw him this morning I wanted to cry, like physically cry because I finally have my dream job and he was there and I swore I was going to have to quit, move back to Vegas and work at a buffet. That's where my mind went today and my anxiety is through the roof so I decide to take a shower. As I'm in the shower I just realized Brendon didn't say anything about me not bringing coffee in the morning, I think we were both too shocked to even think about it. But leave it to me to remember now as I'm naked in the shower.

My mind wanders and I lightly touch my body, hesitating at feeling guilty. I stifle a moan and move my hand quicker. Imaging a man putting his hands down my body moving a finger over my clit. My breathing picks up and I let it fully take over my senses, until those hands have gold rings and I hear his voice. "Addie.." he drags it out and I screech stopping my movements and shutting the water off. I am done for the day and going to bed.

Day 2
Brendon greeted me at the door and we walked in together.

Day 3
Brendon waited for me inside at the bar with coffee. He got mine black and packed creamers, sugar and sugar substitutes in case I didn't want real sugar.

Day 4
"Grab your stuff. We're getting lunch." Brendon told me from the kitchen door and walked away. I looked at Charlotte for help and she just smiled and nodded, ushering me out of the kitchen. We went out to McDonald's, to eat in. That's twice I had McDonald's this week, except this time I could place my order and got a chicken caesar salad to cut some type of calories. Brendon got a big mac meal in a large. I don't know where he puts it all.

Day 5
"Addie, can I see you in my office?" He asks quietly from the kitchen doorway. I nod and clean my hands, remove my apron and enter his office.  "Close the door behind you." He asks as he moves around his desk to take a seat and I get nervous. "Please sit, water?" He asks and I decline. He takes a sip of his own bottle of water and my nerves are boiling. "How has your first week been?" He asks and I'm still on edge. "Good, busy." I mumble and he wipes his upper lip with his index finger. "I'm asking because the dinner rush is in a few hours and I really want to make sure you're physically and mentally prepared. Nashville is a very busy city and we are a well known restaurant." Here I thought he pulled me in the office to correct me or coach me but he is sincerely asking how I've been?

"Oh, um yeah I'm ready. Just nerves." I smile softly and he returns a smile as well. "Good, I'm glad. You can leave now, unless there is something you have for me?" He asks hopefully and I shake my head. "No, I'm ok. Thank you though, for checking in. It means a lot." I turn to walk out. "No problem, Addie." He replies happily and I turn back to face him. "You're never going to call me Adler are you?" I cross my arms over my chest but not in an attitude type of way. "Never." He smiles and I look at his brown eyes. I nod and leave mentally preparing myself for dinner time.
