CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Kali stood in the back of the kitchen as she ate some of the chips that someone had ordered and then said that they didn't want. This was an often occurrence for the staff because it wasn't like they were going to toss out perfectly fine food. So whenever someone said their burger wasn't cooked good enough or that they didn't order something, when they clearly did, some of the staff got a mid shift snack. Kali had managed to win a fight with Grace over the chips that had been returned.

"That boy is back," Grace says rather loudly as she enters the kitchen, fully aware that none of the customers outside in the main area could hear her. Her eyes flew to the blond girl who was sitting on one of the empty counters with her phone in her one hand and a chip in her other. "I put him in your section." Grace tells her best friend who flips her off, simply taking another bite of her chips. "He's cute, go talk to him." She tells her work best friend who rolls her eyes in response.

"I don't need a boyfriend Grace." Kali shoots back but gets off her counter because if Grace sat someone in her section that meant that she was going to have to take care of whoever it was. Even if it was going to be annoying and Grace was going to absolutely make comments about how they would be so cute.

"Sure you do." Grace said with a shrug as she slipped past the cook and made her way to Kali, stealing one of her chips in the process despite Kali trying to smack her hand away. A frown crossed Kali's face as she looked at her friend. "Just go." Grace said with a light nudge and Kali rolled her eyes.

"Fuck you." Kali calls over her shoulder before she pushed past the doors that lead out of the kitchen, shooting one last middle finger up at her best friend. After a second she spots the blond boy who she had seen so many times in the restaurant before. She was sure the guy was nice but damn he sure did have a lot of money if he was eating out this much. "Hi," Kali greeted the blond boy with green eyes and he looked up at her with a smile. She smiled back and clicked her pen open. "Can I take your order?" She asks and after a second where she didn't get a response she looks back at the boy to see that he is still staring at her, a sort of shocked look on his face. Kali raised a confused eyebrow waiting for him to do or say anything.

"Uhm," Was all the man managed to get out and Kali glanced over her shoulder then back to him.

"I can give you a minute?" Kali offers awkwardly due to the way that he hadn't responded. It was weird to her because whenever one of her fellow servers would talk to this guy, he would easily respond with a smile but whenever she spoke to him he suddenly didn't know how to talk. It was weird in Kali and Graces opinion.

"Uh, yeah, please." The blond dude responded with his eyes still on Kali.

"Alright, be back soon." Kali said with a small nod, giving him a small smile before rushing back to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the doors she made her way back to the far corner where Grace was standing, still eating her chips and she laughed because she had seen the whole scene from where the chef served food. Kali glared at her. "Dude, he's so weird."

"He watches you like you're walking on water," Grace practically wheezes at how awkward the interaction between the two was and Kali picks up a chip and throws it her head. She jumps back up on the counter and shakes her head with a small huff, knowing that Grace was just exaggerating. "Dude thinks that you're gorgeous." She grins and Kali rolls her eyes.

"Do you think I am gorgeous, oh my dearest love Grace?" Kali asks with a tilt of her head and a bright grin across her face. Grace turns her head and looks towards the girl with a matching grin, both girls having mischief in their eyes.

"Of course I do, my dearest love Kali." Grace responds in a sing song tone with a grin on her face and Kali laughs. She reaches for the chips and takes one in her hand, dipping the triangle into the sauce that had been ordered along with it.

"So sweet." Kali comments giving her best friend a heart with her hands after she pops the chip into her mouth, a satisfied smile on her face at the taste.

"I will cry." Grace threatens with a fake swoon which makes the two break into laughter. What they don't notice because of their laughter is the scene that they are causing, which is normal for the two, but the fact that their boss had managed to spot them in the busy kitchen.

"Girls," Their boss calls out over the rush that was going on in the kitchen with the chefs busy at work and other servers rushing to server their tables. The brunette and blond both look over, a frown appearing on both of their faces at the same time: "Back to work." He tells them and with a shared look of annoyance, Kali and Grace make their way out of the kitchen and back to the people they were meant to be serving.
