Don't Care

I handed out the drinks at the table of men.

"Alright, Shock Top?" I grabbed that glass.

I handed it to the man who raised his hand.

I gave the Bud Lights around.

A $20 being handed to me.

"Thanks sweetheart." The man closest to me winked, I took it, smiling as I walked away.

I took orders, handing things out, food, appetizers, drinks, all of it.

I stayed behind the bar for a second, helping the only bartender we had back here.

"What can I get you tonight love?" I asked a woman.

"Uhm, can I try a extra virgin martini?" She smiled.

"Absolutely." I began to make the drink, giving it to her after sticking the olive on the toothpick and placing it inside.

I walked to a couple a few seats down.

"How's your night going?" I smiled.

"Great, can I put her drink under my tab? It should be under Anderson." The man said and I nodded.

"Alright, what sounds good?" I asked.

"What would you like?" The man let her order first and she beamed a smile at me.

"A peach margarita, sugar on the rim instead of salt." She said.

"Of course, for you?" I asked the man.

"Uhm, I'll actually try the same thing." He nodded.

"Awesome."

I began making the drinks, the blending taking a minute so I got a few more drinks out before giving them their glasses.

"Thanks Ce. There's so many people." Penny groaned.

I smiled. "I've got you hun, if you need me again let me know. I gotta go back."

I went and grabbed the tray with a burger and 5 orders of Buffalo wings.

I put them on the designated tables before going to a family, catching my breath.

"What can I get you started with my love?" I smiled at their daughter.

She looked about 5? Adorable.

"Uhm, mom what am I getting?" She asked.

"What did you tell me you wanted?" Her mom laughed.

"Uhm, the Mac n Cheese." She toyed with her lip nervously.

"Awesome choice, for you sweetheart?" I asked their boy, maybe 8?

"The sliders, no cheese." He said.

"Great, no cheese." I scribbled that down.

I looked at the mom.

"For you darling?"

"I'd love the tall order of wings, how many comes in a tall?" She asked.

"10."

"Awesome, with Buffalo dry rub." She nodded.

"Perfect. You sir?" I looked at him.

He smiled at me.

"Uhm, I'd like the Bacon Ranch Burger. Take off onion and tomato." He said.

"Absolutely. I'll get that in for y'all, any refills?"

"On her Sprite? And his lemonade. We can wait till there's food." The dad said.
