Hey Gorgeous [11]

Sara

My alarm rang at 7 o'clock, I never slept till this late, even on weekends, but I just couldn't get up to today, so I kept snoozing my phone every time it rang.

I got up, brushed my teeth, and comped my hair before putting a fresh pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. I need to look decent. I can't get fired from this job.

My shift starts at 8 but I was already there at 7:45. "Oh, someone is early," liz said, giving me a light hug. I'm not a very touchy person,  so I didn't hug her back.

"The aprons are over there, and the hats are on the bottom drawer. Get ready and start when the clock hits 8. Not before!" She said with a smile.

She is really cute and friendly and I like it. But she is a bit touchy, and I'm completely the opposite. I don't like people touching me, it make me feel scared and small. I think it's because the only times people have touched me is to hurt me. I know it sounds pathetic, but I guess it's my life.

The moment the clock hit 8, I stood up and standed on my place beside Liz. I couple moments later, the place started filling in with people, and we went directly to work.

"What can I get for you, gentlemen?" I asked the group of men sitting at the table.

"Oh, hey gorgeous," one of them said. God men never change. "Hello sir, what can I get for you?" I asked, rolling my eyes mentally but keeping on my fake smile. "Is your number on the menu because that's what I want," he said, smirking. So cheesy.

"Unfortunately, that's not an option, sir," I answered." Anything else," I continued.

" Okay, okay, we would like three regular coffee with strawberry pancakes on the side." He said with a little smile.

I quickly walked away, feeling my anxiety rising. I took a few shaky breaths before handing the order to the kitchen.

After a couple of minutes, the order was ready. The coffee was presented in fancy cups, and the pancakes were drizzled with strawberry sauce and, on the side, a strawberry in the shape of a flower. Okay, this is so cute. I said to myself, smiling.

I was snapped from my thoughts by Liz. "If you are finished admiring our food presentation, the coffee will get cold," she said with a chuckle. I mummered something within the lines of sorry and gave the gentlemen their orders.

The rest of the day was going so smoothly, and there was only about an hour left for my shift.

The doorbell rang  again, indicating more customers, but I was in complete shock when I saw who it was.

The group was so lost in there conversation, that no one saw me. But the moment liz saw them, she literally dragged me to them.

"Oh my god guys, it's been ages since you came here last time,"liz literally screamed.

They weren't aware of me being here. " Oh my god, liz, it's been like two days," Chris said with a smile. But his smile slowly faded the moment he saw me.

"See, like I said, ages, so I forgot to introduce you guys this is .." liz was saying before being rudely interrupted by an angry Alex.

"Sara, what are you doing here?"  He said, glaring at me. I swallowed the lump in my throat before quickly answering, not wanting to anger them further.

"I work here."  These were the only words that came out of my mouth. Before, they all scoffed in reunion.

"You gotta be kidding, you can't ruin this place for us," Alex said.

"You guys know her?" Liz asked, confused but got ignored.

"Liz, fire her, please." These were the first words to come out of Asher mouth since he saw me.

You gotta be kidding me. Who does he think he is? He can't do this. Or can he? After all she is there friend and at tge same time my manager.

My thoughts were cutted with the voice of liz." Oh my god Asher relax,firstly I can't just fire someone because she rejected you. Secondly, you dont have the power to order me," she said, the last part glaring at Asher.

I love this girl.

" You think I asked this scumbag out, and she rejected me," Asher said, glaring at her back. "What a joke," he scoffed.

"Firstly stop talking about me like I'm not here, secondly isn't it enough that I got FIRED from my previous job because of you, and now this! What do you guys want from me? " I spitted. I was beyond furious. Can't they just get a life away from me.

"Out of all the cafés in the town, you choose  to work at our popular hangout spot, and you want us to think that is a coincidence," Alex said, smirking.

"You can't be  ugly and a stalker Sara, it doesn't work like that," Asher continued, having the same smug look in his face.

"Okay guys, tone it down, and you don't get to tell my friend she is ugly, you moron," she said, pushing a finger atr Asher forehead.

"So now you are on her side,"Alex said angrily. But as I was about to answer, the door rang again, indicating a new customer.

"Sara, can you please help these new customers while I slap some common sense into these dummies' heads?" liz said, glaring at the whole group. Chris gave a look that said. 'What did I do?' I sighed before reluctantly going to help the new customers.

I know that this wasn't going to end well.

Because every now and then, I glance at the group to see them glaring daggers to my back. Except Chris, of course. He was looking at his phone, clearly not interested in the scene around him.

Their jaws were clenched tightly, and I could see the hatred in their eyes. While Iiz was just giving me an apologetic look.

After a while, liz came back to me and asked. "What happened between you guys?". I looked at Asher, who was studying me closely, and mouthed,'dont you dare tell her'. "Nothing," I said, and I could already imagine the smug look on his face when he heard that. I looked at him, and like I predicted, I saw that smirk on his face. He looked amused with the scene in front of him. While liz was just looking at me like I was insane.

"How is it nothing? Do I look stupid?"she said. "No no its just we know each other from school," I said before sprinting to the kitchen. I can't tell her anything they will make my life a living hell.

After I calmed myself down a bit, I came out to resume my shift. But the moment I came out, Alex waved at me to come to them.

"What do you want, Alex?" I said clearly, not interested in what he was about to say. "Is this the way you treat your customers? Tsk tsk tsk, "Asher said. " I'm so sorry sir, what can I get for you?" I said, trying to master the best smile on my face. "That's more like it." he smirked

"I would like a strawberry milkshake  withhh a chocolate chip cookie,"he said. I took out my check as I started writing  his order. "And I would like a chocolate milkshake," Asher said. "What type of milk?" I asked, recalling what happened last time. "Regular for both of us," Asher answered with a smirk, knowing why I asked that. "And what can I get for you?" I asked Chris. "An oreo milkshake, please," he said with a smile. At least someone had manners. I nodded and left.

After I handed the order to the kitchen, I went to help the other customers. When Asher started snapping his fingers at me. Ahhhhh, this guy. I went to them. "Where are our orders?" He asked. "I just gave it to the kitchen 5 minutes, and it will be ready," I stated. I tried going, but Asher pulled my apron. "What?" I gritted between my teeth bit still managed to put on a smile.

"I would like my straw to be blue," he said with a smile. "Of course, anything else," I replied. "Yeah, I would like mine to be red." Alex said. I nodded and walked away.

When I went back, their orders were ready, I took them and replaced the straws with their wanted ones. And walked to them.

"Here you go," I said, placing their orders in front of them. Chris gave me a smile, which I didn't return back. I didn't forget about yesterday. My hand is still hurting, and there is still a bruise.
