It has been two months since I met the handsome stranger. I haven't seen him since the hospital incident after he dropped me home. But he did give me his number.. which I will never use.
My main concern right now is what I will do once my child is born. My expenses right now at home was piling up.My expense is only going to increase when my child is born, so having a better paying job is important but no one is going to give work to a pregnant woman. Now that an increase of my baby bump is showing, the employees will eventually find out and complain, why the boss gave work to a pregnant woman.
I was currently wiping the counter as Layla was continuing her none stop talking. Thanks to her, the boss actually raised my raise to 20% and allowed me to only do the afternoon shifts. This of course, caused Cleo to get upset which caused her to complain to everyone why the boss was giving me special treatment. She even sprouted nonsense that I was having an affair with the boss.
Personally I think that Layla is with the boss, because she always seems to convince the boss to help me and when she talks about him she blushes. The truth is I have never seen his face before so I am curious of how he looks like.
"So how are you and your teddy doing?" asked Layla speaking in code.
"We're fine I did the things that the doctor prescribed so I am doing better?" I replied. "Ok. I still want to make sure because if only I-"
"If only nothing don't get all worried. Remember a man saved me so I am fine" I reassured.
She nodded her head still feeling guilty but suddenly gave me a sly smile. "A handsome man right." she winked.
I rolled my eyes annoyed."Are you going to bring him up all the time? Did you forget that I haven't seen him for two months?"
"Yeah Yeah Yeah, I got it." she pouted." But anyway back to the exciting news. The restaurant is going to have a special day so that means the boss is coming for the first time! There will be lots of important people and the place will be packed. Can you handle it?" she asked worried.
I nodded and gave a strain smile."Don't worry"
'I hope Father and them won't be there'
~~
Layla was right when she said the place will be packed. There were lots of people dressed all fancy and elegantly.
I was very busy taking and delivering order's. When I took an order for someone and was about to give them their food someone's foot suddenly stepped in causing me to slip.
Thankfully, I fell on my butt but the food were scattered, the drinks were spilled and the plates were broken.
I turned around anger in my eyes to see who put their foot out but stopped, when I saw it was my stupid half sister, Amanda.
"Oh what a clutz!" she yelled at me. The people in the restaurant were nodding and whispering about me. I felt furious and embarrassed that I just blew up.
"Excuse me! But wasn't it your foot that got in my way and made me fall! You idiot!" I yelled furious.
She gasped." So are you accusing me? You, a waitress that is ordered to serve not insult me. That hurt my feelings!" she fakely shed crocodile tears.
My Father looked at me as the waitress and yelled. "How dare you disrespect my daughter! You should be fired!" he said along with my stepmother and half sister, they were yelling I was disrespectful.
People were beginning to whisper about me, insulting me. Cleo headed our way quickly and apologized."I am sorry for this waitress disrespect. I will reprimand her, so please everyone continue with your foods" she said, grabbed my arm and forcefully pulled me to the office.
I turned my head and saw Reina give me a sly smile.
'That girl is going to pay!'
~~
After Cleo dragged me to the office I pulled my arm of her grip.
Slap!
A stinging pain was on the side of my cheek. Layla gasped when she saw what happened.
"You can't do that Cleo!" She yelled while I stood silent.
"Of course I can! I am in charge of managing the employees! Do you know she just insulted a important person which can be bad-"
Slap! Slap!
Cleo held her cheeks shocked and Layla widened her eyes. I placed my hand back to my side and threw my apron on the floor my emotions flowing like a storm.. probably because I'm pregnant..
"Well guess what! I don't want this junk job anyway! I also won't allow myself to be mistreated or slapped you piece of nonsense! I quit!" I yelled and went out the door.
Layla followed me."Sasha you can't lose your job. You need it. I'm sure that-"
I cut her off.
"Shut up Layla!" this caused her to gasp. I then breathed in and out to calm down. "I'm sorry but I..need to just go home" I said, took my bag and went out the door.
~~
As I was walking my way home tears were flowing from my eyes.
I crouched on the ground and covered my mouth silently crying.
"Now what am I going to do" I cried spilling my emotions on the sidewalk. It was the late afternoon and luckily no one was around to see me in my pitiful state.
Suddenly I heard a car honk. I looked at my side and saw a black car. The windows slid down and revealed Miguel.
'Why do I feel like that name doesn't suit him. Like it's a fake?'
I quickly wiped away my tears and stood up.
"Get in. I'll drive you home" he said and opened the door from inside.
'Hmm, should I enter? But he did help me before'
'But why am I meeting him after two months? Why is he helping a pitiful woman like me? But..I can't look a gift horse in the mouth?'
I entered the car and whispered."I'm sorry for troubling you"
He tapped his finger on the wheel and hummed. "It's fine. I was heading my way to a celebration but felt like I didn't want to go. Now I have an excuse" he smiled.
Once he gave that beautiful smile I couldn't help but..smile right back.
