Y/N - your name

I fix my white top with the letters "Hooters" on it before spritzing some strong perfume on my neck and wrists. I quickly grab my coat and purse before rushing to my door and leave my apartment. "Bye babes!" I shout to my best friend as she waves me goodbye, "Stay safe please." She says as I nod before rushing to the bus station.

The drive is luckily short, not many people on the bus as it's past rush hour, but that doesn't mean it's past rush hour at Hooters. I hated working there, despise it actually, but I need the easy cash to save for my university payments for next year. I was lucky enough to afford the first two years my but third year was a little bit more challenging after my parents moved to a very expensive country.

It sucks, but it's okay when the staff and manager looks after you so that men don't take advantage of you. Even though it doesn't fully stop them, it does help knowing nothing seriously bad will ever happen. I rush off the bus and run into the back room, smiling at all my fellow colleagues as they all wave at me, mid through doing their makeup. "Ready for the busy night?" My one colleague, Amanda, asks as I set everything in my locker.

"Honestly, no. It's always the dickheads that come on a Saturday night." I say as she nods, "Mhm, got that right babes." She says as she fixes her bra. "Ready for the worst night ever?" I ask as she nods, "Lets do this together." She says as we walk out into the nightmare we expected it to be. It was jam packed, filled to the brink with boys ranging from all ages. There were a few women in the crowed, but they were easily outnumbered by the amount of men.

Myself and Amanda get working, working together for safety reasons as well as the fact that most of the tables were filled with multiple men who would need multiple things served to their tables. The night passes by pretty quickly but the restaurant never filters out, the cleared table gets filled up by more men as soon as it's emptied.

Myself and Amanda make our way to a table filled with about 4 men. "Hi, my name is y/n and this is Amanda and we will be your waitresses." I say as the men nod their heads. They all start off with a beer, all except one man. He had blonde hair and these piercing blue eyes. The table seems to order beer after beer which only leads to one thing, getting rowdy.

I walk past one of the men at the table to hand the boy with blonde hair his food until I feel a hand on my ass. I pull away and glare down at the man, "Sorry. You can't do that." I say in a professional manner as Amanda looks at me, making sure I'm okay. "Oh please! This is basically a strip club. Look, you're asking for it with these shirts." The man says again before he slaps my ass once again.

I'm about to say something until the boy with blonde hair speaks up, "Enough, Peter!" He shouts, catching all of us off guard. The guy, who's name is Peter apparently, says nothing as he nods towards me. I look over at the boy and thank him before walking to the kitchen to grab more food for our customers. "That guys one in a million." Amanda says once we have a moment for a break.

"I know right. I'm surprised he stood up for me." I say as my eye find that same boy who looks as if he is having a stern talk to Peter. Since being shouted at, the whole table hasn't ordered a single beer which was a blessing in disguise. The boys eyes soon land on mine as he gives me a small smile, which I return before going back to waitressing.

Time flies by until it's almost closing time. I walk to the table with blonde boy and smile at them, "We are closing soon. Would you guys like the bill?" I ask as they nod and thank me. I ring up their total and bring their bill to them. "Thanks for helping us." Peter says as I smile at him. "Not a problem. Thanks guys. Come again." I say as I take their bill and payment before walking back to the kitchen.

Since that was mine and Amanda's last table, we both walk to the back and get everything ready once again. "I'll see you tomorrow?" Amanda asks as we walk out the backdoor. "Unfortunately." I joke which makes her laugh. "Love you. Please stay safe." She says as she embraces me in a tight hug. "You too." I say before we go our separate ways.

I walk to the bus station in the waiting area, knowing the buss will arrive pretty soon. Whilst waiting, I hear someone clear their throats next to me. I look up to be faced with the same blonde man from earlier who has a shy smile plastered on his face. "Heya." He says as I smile back, "Heya. What's up?" I ask as he points back at the restaurants direction, "I just want to apologize for my friend back there. He gets a little unbearable when he drinks and he should've been more diligent." He says as I smile and shake my head.

"Please don't stress yourself. It honestly happens so often and trust me, he definitely hasn't been the worst of the worst." I say which he smiles sympathetically. "But still, I am sorry." He says as I smile. "Thank you, hun. And I also just wanna say thanks for sticking up for me back there. It was kind of you." I say as he smiles down at me, "Only a pleasure. A beautiful woman like yourself doesn't deserve to be treated like that." He says as I smile up at him, a blush forming on my cheeks.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Mick." He says as he sticks his hand out. I take it and give him a firm handshake, "Nice to meet you, Mick." I say as the bus pulls up. "I unfortunately have to go. Thanks again." I say as he nods, "No problem, hun. Can I get your number?" He asks as I raise my eyebrows up in amusement, "Obviously to take you out for a proper dinner as a sorry gift." He says as I can't help but chuckle.

"Of course. I'd love that." I say as I hand him my phone as he does with his to me. We exchange numbers before I rush on the bus. I wave him goodbye as I make my way home with the biggest smile etched across my face, happy that something good happened from the hell I work at.
