Days had passed & everything felt the same except for not being pampered by Xavier. But I liked my own money.
"Hey I'm Luci, thanks for choosing Aunt Lynette' cafe, what can I start you out with to drink? " I asked nicely.
"I'll get a tea with a lemon " the older man said.
"With ice? " I asked. He nodded.
"And for you Miss? "
"I'll get the Strawberry Margarita" the lady informed.
I wrote that down, and nodded.
"I'll be back shortly "
They smiled while nodding and I left.
Checking my other 3 tables.
Table one:
Get pepper and steak sauce .
No onions on the Burger for the kids meal
Low on Mayo & Tomatoes
Table Two
Appetizers: boneless barbecue wings
W| celery & ranch, with rolls
Table Three
Drinks: sweet iced tea with lemon
& a strawberry margarita
I got everyone their things and what they needed.
"Shit man " I sighed.
$60 in tips, and only bringing around $300 home ever two weeks ? I can only be grateful though.
All I have to do is save my money up.
"Bye y'all see y'all next week"
I hopped in August's car.
"Hey August"
He looked at me then nodded and drove.

I sighed as I opened up the journal I brought last weekend.

Even though these past few weeks
I feel like I can't take anymore.
I really want to give up
But I can't do that
I've came to far to
rewind or bounce back
So,through this all
I want to continue and have faith
'Cuz tomorrow might be my last day "
I sighed as I tucked the pen, and violet journal away. I replaced my clothes into regular sweats and a loose fitting crewneck. Brushing my hair into a ridiculously big bun I walked downstairs and began cleaning.
Where else should I clean?
"August where else would you like me to clean? "
"Don't matter " he stated dryly.
"So just anywhere? " I asked
