Chapter-57

Serve

Jay-jay's POV

Two weeks! We've been helping out at
Eman's restaurant for two weeks now. It's tiring but it's like a bond between us . Besides, what he pays us is
worth it. He cooks us food. Food!! Kuya already knows this. I let him know so he won't scold me. It's okay with
him except for when it's time to go home. We're arriving at dawn. "Jay! Clear table two!" Yuri ordered. Oh,
daba? We're used to it! I followed and approached table two near the door. While wiping the table, I saw a car
arrive outside. Aries' car! And his classmates were with him. If you're lucky, you'll be fine. I immediately
brought the tray with plates and glasses to the kitchen and called them. "Guys! Aries' group is over there!" I
shouted. They both stopped. They were waiting for Keifer to say something. But Eman was the first to speak.
"Please don't mess around here!" He asked. They looked at Keifer again who was just silently looking at me.
"Eman is right! No one is going to start a fight!" He shouted. I immediately went out to take care of the other
customers but it looked like they were the only ones who needed attention. No choice! All the crew were busy.
I took a deep breath and got a menu. I approached them but before I could say our greetings, Freya's smile
widened. "OMG! So it's true! You're just a waitress!" Freya said with a big smile. I smiled at her too. The plastic
one in front of me was plastic! Someone had put a tray of water down on their table. I thought it was Yuri,
because he always does that. But it was Keifer in front of me. "Hahahaha... Keifer Watson? What the hell?!"
Mykel said while slapping the table. The other customers were looking at us. He looked like an idiot for what
he was doing. I noticed Kiko who was just trying to smile at me. It was as if he wanted to say something.
Keifer just had a poker face while looking at them. Ella was obviously feeling lonely so Aries put her arm
around her. "Keifer... Seriously? Are you struggling?" Mykel asked. "I don't know..." Keifer answered innocently.
"..Why don't you ask my friend?" He suddenly turned around and motioned for someone to come to him. "W-
why?" Mica? Keifer must be an addict. Mykel's face became serious. He couldn't help but look like he wanted
to step on her. "Are you here too, Mica?" Freya said. Bobita! "No! He's not here! That's just a picture! A
hologram!" I mumbled philosophically. Freya's eyebrows immediately crossed and she crossed her arms.
"Uhmmm... Jay, I'll just take their order." Mica's reply. "No! We want Jay and Keif
er to serve us." Aries ordered. I
looked at Keifer. I wanted to ask him if he was okay but he had already answered. "Okay." We just stood in
ront of them and waited for their orders. I could feel them getting annoyed. It's been so long! I looked over to
the other side where Yuri was standing and talking to a customer. He was fine... I wish I was there. These guys
are so stupid! It's obvious------Hal! Hala! Hala! Suddenly Keifer put his arm around me and pulled me closer to
him. What is this? What is this King of Cobras planning? My heart!!! It's beating so fast! Even faster than the
one who competed in speed. I can't move. I think I'm getting stiff! Woah! Woah! I've swallowed a few times.
My blood doesn't want to flow properly anymore . My face is so hot! "Don't move." Keifer whispered.
Aaarrrgghhhh... His lips are too close to my ear. I'm tickling! Jusme! His breath was hot . I couldn't breathe!
Oxygen! Pull Tank! "*Ahem*" Kiko grabbed our attention. We both looked at him but Keifer was still holding
me. That's right! "I want to order this Ultimate Burger." Kiko said and handed the menu back to me. I took the
menu and Keifer wrote down Kiko's order on the note he was holding. That's why he put his arm around me
again after that. You guys ordered! Come on! "I'll have the same with bottomless ice tea." Mykel said and
handed the menu back to me. Keifer let go to write the order. I moved a little away because he might put his
arm around me again after that. The others also gave their orders. Even though it seemed like they were
expecting it. They still had requests, like Freya. It was just a salad, but they wanted to chop up whatever leaves
she was talking about. Aries asked for extra chilli. He said he didn't like half-cooked chicken, he didn't like
overcooked either. It was a lot of fun! Keifer brought the Note to the kitchen. I put the menus back on the
counter. I didn't notice that Kiko had followed me. "Jay.." He started. "..can I talk to you? Just us?" I looked at
the wall clock. My break was still far away. I couldn't leave my friends. They might get angry with me. "You can
just stay here... I still have work to do." I pleaded. Kiko could do nothing but agree. He didn't have a choice. "I-I
wish I... I wish I could flirt with you. I haven't asked Aries about this because I want to hear your answer first."
That's all... I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. I don't know if anyone will try to flirt with me. Honestly? I
eel flattered. I still have a crush on Kiko but it's not like before that I get excited every time he approaches me.
Maybe because of all the things that have happened. I looked at their table where Aries was also looking at
us. I didn't think of having a boyfriend again. "Kiko... Because..." "Is there a problem here?" David interrupted.
Kiko looked at him evilly. Oh! Maybe these two will fight right here ! "We don't have----" Kiko cut me off.
"Nothing. We were just talking. Maybe you can leave now." He said calmly. David looked at Kiko. Trying to
intimidate each other. I looked around. Even Ci-N was looking at us. I hope they don't fight! "David... Maybe you
need to be inside." I grabbed his attention. His gaze was still on Kiko. "You too... You need to be inside." "S-
okay." I replied and grabbed his arm to lead me. He didn't want to come at first but I didn't leave without him .
"Jay... I'll wait for your answer." Kiko said. I didn't say anything. David and I entered the kitchen. "Are you really
going to flirt with Kiko?" David asked me. It seemed like the others heard him. They suddenly stopped and
looked at me. "I-I don't know." I felt like I was in the hotseat. It was surprising because David was asking this
question. "Do you like Kiko?" Yuri asked who was standing near us. "W-what... Y-because..." "You like him."
Keifer said. I just swallowed. It was just a crush. It didn't mean I would agree right away. "N-no... I-I don't plan
on flirting." That was all I answered them. I went out immediately. Maybe they wouldn't stop asking me
questions. I went back to the counter where Mica was arranging the menu. "Keep an eye on David." She
whispered to me. Huh? Shouldn't I be the one to watch over Kiko. "W-why David?" I asked. "Didn't anyone tell
you that Kiko and David had a fight before?" Oh yes! I remember that, Kiko said he knocked David down
before. "I've heard that before. But I don't know the whole story." I replied. "I don't know either. But Kiko did
something to David's scar on his jaw." Mica said and left. I was suddenly confused. Maybe these two will
suddenly fight here. But David is smart, he probably won't just scold Kiko. I also want to know what happened
between them. Why they fought. I'm sure David won't tell. I only know one person who is willing to tell a story
even if it's confusing to explain. "Ci-N! Let's take a break first!" I told him. He nodded and followed me. We
went through the backdoor. I handed him the burger we cooked earlier. "I have a question." I said and took a
bite of the burger. "...What happened with David and Kiko?" He sneered before speaking. "The fight?" I nodded.
"I don't know." He answered and took another bite of his food. Oh! I didn't even catch anything from this kid.
"As far as I know, Kit and Eren complained about A. They talked to David. We just don't know what they talked
about.Then we heard that they were fighting in the old factory. When we arrived, David's face was bleeding
and Kiko was holding a pipe." He added. Okay! Didn't I get some information? But why would Kiko do that. The
fight was just a fistfight but he took a pipe. I would have liked to talk to David or Kiko about it. Of course, I'm a
gossip in that situation.
