Chapter 21

"Affirmative.” I backed up. We laughed and slipped on our Aprons while the two she-devil’s glared at us. Who cares anyway?

 

Around noon, I became really pressed; I excused myself and went to the rest room. While I was washing my hands after easing myself, Nicky rushed into the bathroom.

 

“Jeez louse Nicky; you scared the hell out of me, what's up.” I asked

“Your hubby just arrived, but before I could blink, Mabel was already at his table taking down his order.” she complained as she tried to catch her breath like someone who ran a marathon race.

For some reason i got really angry. I rushed out of the bathroom, when I got to the counter, I looked around for Bennett and I saw Mabel giggling like a fool in front of him as if he was cracking a joke for her, Kate was smiling as she watched them.

 

I got really pissed off, I felt like going there, dragging her out and stuff some raw beef into her mouth. I felt really jealous but why.... Why.... Just why, I wish someone will just answer that... Why?

After 2 minutes of giggling, she dragged her stupid self back to the counter.

“Move it skunks. Can't you see the queen want to pass.” she bragged and brushed through Nicky and I, Kate giggled.

“Also, some people's jealousy can't fly an airplane, so scratch that.” Kate backed up Fools.

 

They giggled again, making me angrier but suddenly Nicky started laughing. I began to wonder if she has joined the club of madness.

 

“Let me give you a piece of advice Mabel, don't try to fix yourself where you don't fit, cause no matter how hard you try, you aren't gonna blend in.” she snapped at Mabel still laughing.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Mabel asked her with twisted brows.

“Where is your customer?” Nicky asked amidst laughter.

I turned to where Bennett was sitting only to be staring an empty seat with no Bennett on it, not even a piece of his property, it was as if he was never there. I couldn’t help but laugh my heart out, although I felt awkwardly sad that he came here and didn't ask of me, but the fact that Mabel looked so embarrassed made me so happy. She dropped her palm slip and stormed out, Kate followed her.

 

“Good riddance of bad rubbish,” Nicky blurted out.

“Nicky,” 

“What?” She shrugged.

We laughed.

My phone beeped and I checked it, it was a text from an unknown number.

It read I came to the restaurant to check up on you but I didn't see you, I guess you were busy. Beep me when you are free. Bennett

I smiled and saved the number.

“Wow, I wonder who it was.

Crazy girl. I am sure she read the text with me.

“Face your work.” I said sarcastically. 

 

“My work is to make sure my best friend is happy, so I am facing my work.” she nudged me.
