"Payson I need you to go and take table eights order"
I herd right when I walked into the  diner.
"Will do so"
I went to the back, clocked in and put on my dark green apron, grabbed my notepad and pen and walked right over to table eight.

"Good morning I am Payson I will be at your service this morning what can I start you off with?"
Looking at the two young teenage girls.
"I will just take a water" the blond with blue eyes replied while I wrote it down.
"I will take a coffee and water" I red head with brown eyes sitting across from the blonde said.

I wrote down the order and took it to the back.

"Hey, hey"
I looked beside me and it was Taylor.
She's the one who is spunky, bright spirited, changes her hair color every 6 months, is into the new music, maybe even boy crazy. But I love her. When I started working here she was a big help for me, she took me in when I was at my low point.
"Hey"
"Ding" I looked over and a new customer came in. He was older, blonde with green eyes and a bit of facial hair , he looked fit under his gray tee shirt and jean jacket with jeans that fit just right.
"No way!!!" Taylor said
"Owwa my ears Tay"
"Sorry but do you know who just walked in?"
I looked over again and back at Taylor
"Um no I don't who is it?"
"It's Damon Young's manager Sasha"
"How do you know this?"
"Do you not follow the magazines or the pop news?"
"Should I?"
"Your impossible"
"Why should I care Damon's arrogant and thinks too highly of himself"
"But he's got good music and honey do you see him ?he's very good looking"
I shook my head and grabbed two glasses of water and cup of coffee and walked off to table eight.
The two teenagers were looking at Sasha seeing if it was real, to see if he was really Damon's manager or someone who looked like him.
I took there orders for breakfast and gave it to the chef.
"Payson I need you to do table 4" my boss told me.
"I can do it" Taylor volunteers
"No taylor you can mop the bathroom" she gave my boss a look of ewwa but did it anyways.

I walked to apparently Damon's manager and said "good morning I'm Payson I will be your waitress, what can I get you started with?" 
He looked up from his phone and replied
"I am waiting for someone then we can order" he sounded irritated but I just nodded and headed back to the counter.

While I was taking more orders I herd another "ding" from the door. I looked up and there he was himself the brown hair, green eyes, tall, tattoos coming out of his black tee shirt on both arms with black skinny jeans , very fit man who thought too highly of himself Damon Young the pop star.
But I do admit he looks better in person.
But he looked whopped like he partied too much the night before which he probably did but he still looked good which how in the world does he do that?
He's probably did it so many times that it's normal for him.

I looked over and the two teenagers were taking pictures and gushing and probably excited to post on their social media because barely any celebrities come to this diner if not none, I wonder why they picked this one.
I looked around and there was a few teenagers taking pictures also.
I chuckled at them thinking he's just a normal person leave him alone.

He goes by table four and sits down across from Sasha.
I wait because it look like his manager ain't happy while he talks to Damon.

After about a good minute I go over and ask "are we ready to order drinks first?"
"Yes I will take a cup of coffee with water" Sasha replies.
"I'll have a water with coffee also" I wrote it down then go off the prepare the orders.

"So how is he?"
I jump and turn around, it's Taylor.
"Goodness Tay warn me when you come"
"Sorry, so?"
"They seem ok I guess"
"You guess? what I would love to be in your shoes right now"
"Tay there just normal people like us but with more money"
"And fame but still you have to tell me everything when they leave"
"Ok?" I gave her a confused look.
I finish making there orders and go up to them and set it down.

"Are we ready to order or still need more time?"
"I am ready,  are you Damon ?"
"Yeah I'll have the eggs with turkey bacon"
"We have pork bacon but not turkey" I replied.
"Really you don't have turkey? what service around here"
Excuse me did he just say that?
"Yes really and for your information our service is great the coffees hot, foods never cold, and the people are great"
Damon shook his head and said "fine I'll have whole wheat toast instead" I wrote it down and looked at Sasha.
"I'll have pancakes with sausage"
I wrote that and walked off.
I passed Tay and said "he's a jerk and not worth it"
I went to the chef  and put in there orders.

I did my other duties.
I delivered there food to table four and set it down.
"Do you guys need anything else?"
"No" Sasha replied.
I walked off and washed tables and swept.
I grabbed more food for other tables till I fell and hit the ground with all the food on me. I looked across from me and saw Damon's foot where I tripped. I looked up at him but he was on his phone typing.
I got up and started to clean.
Sasha came over and started helping.
"You don't have to do that"
"I insist"
Taylor came over and we all three cleaned up. Swept the glass and mopped the ground till it was clean.

"That jerk" I said to Taylor.
"Maybe he didn't even see his foot out there"
"Then why didn't he say that and help?"
"I don't know"
"See a jerk"
I walked off to the cash register and typed in table fours receipt and printed it out then walked over to set it on the table.
Sash just gave me his card to take without even looking at the receipt.
I put the card in the slot and took it back to him.
"Thank you for your service the food was good"
"Thank you for helping me pick up the mess"
"My pleasure" he smiled, then him and Damon got up and walked out.

I finished up my day in gross clothes feeling dirty.
I wiped the last table and put the chairs upside down on the table.
I went to the back took off my apron but didn't hang it up but instead decided to take it with me so I can wash it at home. I clocked out and walked out to walk home. My cars in the shop again even though I can barely afford it but I can't afford to pay for an actual car, so have to stick with the junkie one until I can get a decent one that runs better.

While walking closer to my apartment I saw Damon?
No I shook my head.
I walked closer and saw that the guy had a cigarette in his mouth.
"Waitress girl walking all alone?"
Ooh shoot it is Damon what the heck.
