Dathi De Nogla -- Part Time

I wait more tables in my section when one of my co-workers walks up to me. She looks winded. "Please, I am in a desperate need of a smoke break! Can you take over my section too?" I go to say no, it's your job but she interrupts me. "Thanks you're a life saver!" She pats my shoulder before leaving the room.

It's a small diner, so the tables are split into two sections. Now I have to wait all the tables. I sigh before walking around waiting for someone to ask for something. A group walks in and I rush over to them, greeting them before taking them to an open table big enough for them all. I get their drink orders and go over to the bar on the back wall. Robert, the bar manager, taps my shoulder. I look at him.

"Hey, sweets, could you run this for me? I need to have a quick break." I quickly try to object.

"Well, I don't-"

"Thanks! You're quite the gal." He rushes off in the same direction as what's-her-name. I get the drinks on my own and run to the table. They thank me. I give them a few more minutes to think of what the what to eat and rush to a table who's calling me in my section. I realize I have to run the whole entire show now. I sigh again. They want refills. I grab all their drinks and bring it to the bar, filling them up before running back and giving them their glasses back.

Another table calls me and I apologize before running to service them. I get a few more tables happy before I notice my manager come out of his office in the back. He watches me work with everyone and I notice the scowl on his face. I give a table their food before he yells at me, the dinner goes silent. "Office. Now."

"Yes sir." I bow, apologizing to the table I was about to service. I follow him into the back.

"What the hell do you think your doing? Do you think that by doing everyone else's jobs, you'll get a raise? Because tough shit, I'm not gonna give you one. Do your job and your job only. I can't believe you let them leave. I'm going to get bad ratings and people are going to start thinking I own a bad business and overwork my employees!" I look at my hands and twiddle my thumbs as he continues to rant. My co-workers ended up spreading lies and telling him I asked to take over for them. I nod my head when I'm supposed to and shake my head when I'm supposed to and he lets me go back to my section.

I wait the tables with a less happy expression and I notice the people whispering as soon as I leave their table. I catch some of what they say 'is she alright?' 'What happened to her?' 'Isn't she supposed to be happy when she serves us?'. I just can't wait until I can go home.

Finally my shift is over and I rush to clock out and get home. I run down the street to my house, feeling as if I could fly. I almost fall a couple times from exhaustion.

I make it to my door and throw it open, closing it behind me and throwing off my shoes. I rip my jacket off and stumble down the hall towards the bedroom. I pass by the office and notice the door is open. I see my boyfriend, David, turn to look at me. I give him a tired smile and he says he'll be right back to his friends.

He gets up and walks over to me. "How was work?"

"Work." He chuckles.

"Going to bed?"

"Going to bed." I echo with a nod.

"Give me a sec and I'll join you." He says and I nod again, continuing to stumble down the hall.

I walk into the bedroom and flop onto the bed. I take my clothes off, keeping my face in my pillow, and throw on one of David's t-shirts. I sigh as I relax.

I fall into a tiny slumber before I feel a pair of arms wrap around me and pull me into their chest. I yawn and open on eye to see my boyfriend giving me a cheeky smile. I sleepily kiss his nose and he returns a kiss to my forehead. I wrap my arms around him and burry my face in his chest before falling into a deep sleep.

I love coming home to him.
