Double update;))<33

"Liv would you mind taking care of table six for me please?" Nicole asked; Sal's head waitress. Nicole trained me when I first started here, she tried everything to get me fired because at first she didn't like me, but now we love each other.

"Yup." I said hopping off the counter grabbing a note pad. I looked at the numbers of the booths stopping at number six.

"Hi I'm Liv, welcome to Sal's what can I get for you?" I asked mentally patting myself on the back for no stutter. The girl in the leather skirt, with dark eyeshadow and black lipstick replied. "Burger and fries. Be quick I got somewhere to be alright?" She snapped. I nodded taking her menu as long as her friends and walked away giving Sal the piece of paper with her order written on it.

I smiled when 'Put Your Head On My Shoulder,' by Paul Anka blasted through the speakers. I hummed along quietly and thought back to the times when my dad would sing this song to me when I was sad, or had a cold.

He had the most amazing voice that would put me to sleep every time. My mom would hide his guitar to stop him from constantly playing and it was always funny to watch him air guitar it, while singing extra loud just to annoy her. They really were in love.

If I ever find a love like theirs it would be- Ding. Sal rang the bell putting the plate of food on the counter making me jump. You would think I would be used to the sound by now, but I'm still jumpy. I grabbed the plate gently to not burn myself, and put it down at table six.

I learned my lesson after receiving a third degree burn on my left wrist from a pasta plate. The only good part about it is now I have a pretty cool scar that's shaped like Florida.

After a while the only people in the diner were Nicole, Sal, two cooks, a cleaner, the guys at table nine, and myself. I was twirling around while cleaning the tables, and spinning my skirt to the music playing.

I whipped down the last table except for the one the guys were sitting at and dropped the rag in the sink. I jumped back on the counter listening to the guys laughing loudly, and swearing at each other playfully. It makes me nervous that they fight for money.. They could get seriously hurt.

All the guys got up at the same time Sal came out of the kitchen. "Now listen, don't go getting all busted up alright?" Sal said giving the boys all warning looks. The guys shook their heads agreeing and swung their leather over their backs. Ethan ran his busted up hand through his hair fluffing it up in a swoop like always.

He caught me starring and I suddenly looked down hiding my blush and small smile.. I can feel my cheeks getting hotter. I can practically feel him smirking at me. "How's she doing?" Sal asked Grayson. Grayson frowned and shook his head. "She's getting worse." He replied. I furrowed my eyebrows confused. "Don't worry, Lisa.. she's strong." Sal said. Lisa?

"Alright well tell her if your old man ever gets boring I'm always here." Sal said lightening the mood making the guys chuckle. I walked away behind the counter, so I wasn't all up in their business

I hope Lisa is okay.

"E.. don't over due it kid alright, you're young, you got something to live for still, don't go getting yourself killed you hear me?" Sal asked sternly. Ethan nodded his head hesitantly. Killed? What does he do? "Please Sal, I'm invincible." Ethan said but I could tell he wasn't completely confident.

Sal chuckled and patted his shoulder roughly but lovingly. It seems as if he's like a father figure.

"Alright we gotta go if we wanna catch the opening fight." Alex said enthusiastically. "Catch ya later Sal. Bye Soc. Nicole." He said smugly to Nicole. Hmm.
