They next day Flynn didn't give me that much trouble getting up on time. He actually got out of bed himself and started to get ready while I made breakfast.

Once I dropped him off at school I went right to work and my boss was actually surprised that I didn't come in late for once.

"Do you mind taking a table for me? I have 5 right now and one of the tables has 7 people at it." Grace asked me as she came up to me at the counter.

"Yeah that's fine." I smiled grabbing my note pad and pen. I walked off to the table keeping my head down as I read the things I needed to know.

"Hi I'm Darcy I'll be your waitress-" I smiled looking at the first two men that were there and then my smile faded when I went to the last man.

It was the guy who I saw yesterday and saved me from falling.

"F-for today." I finished off slowly looking back to my note pad.

Say something Darcy... anything is better then standing here like a dope.

"W-what can I get you all to drink?" I asked looking up again putting my pen to the paper.

Getting a good look at all three of them I realized they were all tall and buff men. The one closes to me was a tall red hair with green eyes that compliment his pail skin. The one next to him was a tall dark man with brown hair and brown eyes. He smiled to me kindly and started off.

"I'll have a coffee."

"Water please." The red head spoke next.

"Coffee." The dirty blonde man asked. I looked to him as I felt my throat get dry.

He was definitely more built then the others. I could tell that by the white button down he had on. It hugged his body perfectly and he didn't seem to mind the other girls who were totally looking at him now.

I nodded my head and rushed off to the kitchen. Once I got back there I leaned on a table and took a few deep breaths before grabbing the cups.

Come on Darcy. He's just a really really good looking man. It's not like he sees you or knows who you are. Why are you getting like this?

I balanced the cups out to there table and handed them off to the right people before putting the tray under my arm and taking my pad out again.

"Are you ready to order?"

"Yes can I get the number 3?" Red head asked and I wrote his order down.

"May I get the cheese omelet with a side of bacon."

"Yes you may." I wrote that down and then turned to the final one who was still looking at the menu.

"A-and for you?"

"Ahhh... well what do you like here?" He asked looking up to me. Damn his eyes were really green.

"Umm I like the chocolate chip pancakes." I said lowly keeping my eyes on my writing.

"Ok I'll get that then."

I finished writing it all up before going back to place the order.

I hid in the back staying away from that table as best as I could. Every time I walked by it our eyes would come together and I would pull mine away first. It had to be in my head that he was watching me. Why would a guy like that look at a girl like me.

When I went to put their plates down I didn't even look to him. Even though I felt his eyes on me. Maybe it was just all in my head.

"Can I get you guys anything else?" I asked placing the check down on the table for them.

"No I think we're good." Brown eyes said giving me his kind smile again.

I grabbed the plates off the table and went to turn around to walk off. When I did I felt two hands grab my waist and pull me back. One of the bus boys walked fast past me with many dishes in his tray. It looked like he tried to take to many and wasn't doing ok with getting to the kitchen.

I turned to face of course my savior once again.

"T-thank you."

"Seems like you like me helping you." He smiled looking up to me which wasn't really much. The top of his head was at the top of my chin with me standing.

I felt my cheeks getting red as I looked down at his hands that were gripping my waist. It sent shocks up my body, ones that I haven't felt before.

My eyes went back to his and I felt this weird feeling in my throat again.

"Darcy the phones for you!" One of the coins called out from the back to me. I thanked God and rushed to get going.

"Excuse me." I muttered and rushed to the back.

I put the plates down and went right to where the cook was holding the phone for me. I thanked him and cleared my throat a little.

"Hello?"

"Hi Is this Darcy O'Brian?" A woman's voice came over the phone.

"Yes this is she?"

"I'm sorry to inform but your son Flynn is here in the principals office due to a fight. We need you to come down here to speak with the principal."

My mouth dropped as I thought of Flynn in a fight with someone. I was at a loss of words that I couldn't even correct her to tell her that he is my brother.

I hung up the phone and rushed to talk to Grace.

"Can you cover for me?" I asked quickly pulling on my coat.

"Yeah what's up?"

"Flynn got into a fight."
