My Double Life

Chapter 8

Skylar's POV

He kissed me and I should be mad that he took my first kiss like that but for some reason I'm not. When our lips made contact, I felt the electricity shoot up in me and on instinct I kissed him back. I wonder if he felt it.

What am I even saying, this is Kendrick we're talking about. He probably does this kind of things all the time

"Hey Astrid." I say as I walk into the diner

"Hello dear, I'm glad you came just on time. It's really busy today and we need all the hands." She says rushing me to put my apron on

It is indeed busy, the place is packed and different voices with different conversations fill the room

I get my apron and notepad and start working. The people are so many and just when I think I'm done with taking orders, more people come in

"Hi, my name is Skylar and I'll be your waitress. What can I get you?" I smile politely at the two men in front of me

"Beautiful name for a pretty face." One of them says he looks older and I mentally gag

"We'll have two Turkey sandwiches, extra mayo and two cokes please." The other one orders

"Right away." I turn and before I could walk away, the older guy smacks my butt causing me to gasp and angrily face him

"You better pray she stops me from beating your ass old man." A voice speaks and I turn to see Ray behind me; Seth and Kendrick with him as well

"Ha! You little boys don't scare me." Ray charges for the man but I stop him

"He's not worth it, trust me." I look at the man with disgust and walk away with the three boys following me

"I'm not going to be able to serve you guys today, maybe Kelsey can. I have too many orders to take and they just keep coming." I tell them

They look at each other and get up going behind the counter and each grabbing aprons

"What are you guys doing?"

"Helping out. It looks hella busy and I'm sure you could use the extra hands." Seth says

"If Astrid finds out, she's going to kill me." I complain

"Oh it's alright dear as long as they know that I'm not paying them, they can have the tips they make." Astrid comes up to us

"No problemo Ms A." Ken says and they each get a notepad

These guys surprise me each day

"Go wash your hands first, you are in a food facility." Astrid scolds and they do just that

They go out and start taking orders already

"Keep an eye on them, make sure they don't mess up." Astrid winks at me

"This old lady." I laugh to myself

I go out to take the order for a table next to the one Seth is waiting

"Hi, my name is Skylar and I'll be your waitress. What can I get you?"

"Why would you want to eat that?" I hear Seth ask

"Seth!" His head snaps towards me

"I mean, coming right up." He writes the order down and smiles sheepishly at me

"I'm sorry about that, he's new here." I apologize to both tables

I take the order of my current table and go to give it in
