chapter four

Being at Daisies really made my day, I didn't stay long because of my shift but I enjoyed every moment.

"Elisa table six have waited a while and they are getting impatient, could you go serve them"

I was busy taking orders back to the kitchen when Lisa asked me to attend to table six. I don't talk much at work either so I just smile at her.

"Thanks, and give me the pad once I'm done with this I will take the orders"

I let out a breath before walking out of the kitchen.

Walking out of the kitchen to where the customers are, always made me nervous. You think I would get used to it after working here for two years but it is the opposite.

The eyes I feel on me makes me so uncomfortable because I feel like they are judging me silently.

I faced many situations especially at the orphanage where the children whisper very hurtful things about me, I had no friends there and it really affected me especially in public places.

Always being cautious about everything. Staying in the orphanage where no one loved me even the kids bullied me because I couldn't be adopted.

"Good day sir, I'm sorry for the long wait," I said in a low, barely audible voice, I would be shocked if he heard me.

There are two men on the table, they both look high class and sophisticated. They face each other and glance through the menu, both of them wore a similar suit which fits them perfectly.

"I don't mind the wait if I get a chance with such a beautiful lady"

As the man on my right with dirty blonde hair spoke those words to me, I froze trying to comprehend what he said.

"Sir, are..e you going to ma.. make an order" I stuttered as I tried to get words out.

No one randomly compliments me like that and I am a bit scared hearing it from a stranger. Hazel and some close people did often comment on my beauty but I know they were just being nice.

I am not beautiful in any sense, even at the orphanage I was constantly reminded of my horrible appearance by everyone.

"Are you on the menu because I would totally order you?" he said again which just confused me.

I think this is what it feels like to be flirted with. I have seen when guys flirt with Hazel but this is different because he is flirting with me and he is not like the other guys that probably get close to me because I know Hazel.

"I'm sorry sir but I have other things to do" my hands begin to sweat.

The other man with him has not uttered a word or looked up from the menu.

"Oh you do?, at least give me your number" I am really confused why he wants to have anything to do with me.

"Conner, leave the nice girl alone and order something"

The other man finally speaks up and I feel relieved that he understands how uncomfortable I am.

"Get us the house special and a cup of coffee" the man speaks again without looking at me.

I nod to myself and walk hurriedly away from them.

"Elisa what took you so long," Lisa asked me as I entered the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, they took time to decide"

"Sure they did, I saw you flirting with them. I didn't think you had it in you"

I didn't start anything, I was so nervous and I have never flirted with anyone before.

"No, I didn't"

"Fine, just get their order to Kate and take this to table five"

Lisa hands me a cart full of table five's order.

I leave the kitchen once again and take table five's order to them.

As I drop off the food, I take a glance at table six and caught the man that saved me from my previous situation looking at me and I immediately avoid his gaze.

Feeling a little embarrassed I walked back into the kitchen pulling the empty cart with me.

"Elisa table six order Is ready" Kate informed me, making me nervous.

I went to Lisa in the hope that she would agree.

"uh Lisa, could you give table six their order please" I really had an odd feeling being at that table so I decided to avoid It.

"You don't want to face your hot admirers" Lisa teased me but I didn't care, I just don't want to go back out there.

"Okay, I will go but you owe me one" she took the cart and walked out of the kitchen.

I let out a breath of relief and wiped my sweaty hands on my clothes.

After a while, Lisa returned with a full cart.

"Um Elisa, they said they want you"
