It's Luh Bitch • D.L

10

I hadn't been to work for a week. I couldn't bear seeing anyone there, especially Derek. We had a week off from college to I wasn't missing out on anything. The majority of the week I was studying. It was Friday and I was studying when I had gotten a call.

"Hello?"

"Oh hey, it's Luke."

"Oh, what's up."

"The diner is really busy and Aunt Carol knows you're not stable but we need your help like seriously." I sighed and shook my head.

"Ok give me like an hour."

"Yes, thank you, hurry up."

"Yeah, sure." I cut the line and slipped on my shoes. I grabbed my keys and my purse, left a note for my friends and left. I got there in about 45 minutes.I ran in and it packed. The people that worked the night shift were here. I ran to my locker and put all my belongings in there. I wrapped my flannel around my waist as I knew I was going to get warm. I put on the apron and walked out.

"Who's the manager today?" I asked Nora.

"Darren." I ran over to him and asked what I had to do for today.

"You're taking orders." I nodded and went to a table that looked like they were ready. And to my disappointment it was Derek and his group.

"Hey, are you ready to take orders." I smiled.

"Um, can I have a burger and a side of you." Nate said. I laughed.

"I'm not for sale, unfortunately, anything else." I took all their orders and put them in the kitchen. I went to another table and cleaned it up and put all the trash that was left in the bin. I took orders from other tables and put them in the kitchen.

"Order from table 8 up!" Luke yelled from the kitchen I ran in and took the trays carefully.

"Burrito and fries." I handed to some black dude that was sitting with Nate.

"Burgers and a side of me." I winked at Nate.

"Taco and chips."

"Chicken and fries."

"And last but not least, lasagna, I'll be right back with your drinks."

"Dude, what the fuck." I heard Derek say.

"What, it was just a joke." Nate retorted, which it was.

"You know I like her."

"Oh, but you still go and sleep with your ex."

"It was a mistake."

"The whole entire hotel could hear you guys!" John exclaimed.

"Oh shut up."

"Will you niggas shut the fuck up and eat." The black guy said, it made me like instantly. Soon after I gave them their drinks.

"If you need anything, I'll be around." A chorus of ok's were said. I walked away and went to the milkshake area.

"Hi, how may I help you?" I looked up and my smile vanished immediately.

"I've been waiting for you to come to work, where have you been?"Lydia asked.

"At home, why?"

"Because, I thought I told you to stay away from Derek."

"Oh honey, you thought but you didn't , in fact if I remember so correctly you said 'who do you think you are, slapping my boyfriend like that' is that not correct?" Once again she turned red.

"If you're not going to order something I'm going to ask you to leave."

"You cant just kick me out."

"Look over at that picture of there is says in bold writing 'if not going to order pleasw leave. If going to use bathroom please inform one of the staff', so honey if you aint ordering please leave." She stomped her foot abd stood there.

"Luke!" He came running out of the kitchen and picked her up and set her outside. I thanked him and went on with my job. I walked over to tables to ask if they needed anything.

"You guys all good?"

"Can we have refills?" Nate asked.

"Well, I have been told that my milkshakes are 'the shit' so lemme hit you guys up with some Oreo milkshakes, its on the house!"

"YES, I LOVE THOSE!" John exclaimed, with food in his mouth. I walked over to his side and closed his mouth.

"Don't talk with your mouth full honey." I went and did my magic and brought them to their table.

"Thank you!" John sang.
