A Skype Mistake ❤

Crushed ❤

Chapter Title: Crushed

Angelina's POV:

I sleepily stroll into work, covering my mouth as a heart felt yawn escapes my lips. I make my way over to my co-worker Claire who is wiping down a messy table. 

"Good morning Claire." I gleam.

"Good morning Angy, how are you?".

Claire sets down the cloth and surface cleaner bottle on the table, then wipes her hands on her jeans.

"I am good girl, tired my goodness."

"Tell me about it." She chuckles.

Claire who is medium height, curvy and well busted looks as if she's been gaining a lil love weight since she started hooking up with her new guy but I decide against telling her. I look passed Claire towards the office.

"Did you see the rota, am I cooking or on tables today?".

"Umm." Claire bites her pink lipstick stained lips as if in deep thought and looks up into the ceiling.

"I am sure your on tables same as me" She replies looking back at me, then throws me a damp cloth from her waist.

"Ahhhh." I moan then throw the cloth on the nearest table.

We do not open until 11:am and it was only after 9:30 am so we have loads of time to set up and prepare for the rush of the day. At around 12, I am working the table of a large group of people whose orders would cost them at least a couple of hundred pounds the way they are ordering nearly everything on our mere menu, when I spot him. I've had my eye on him for some weeks now. He is tall, dark featured and well built. His hazelnut hair is cut low and his jawline is one of a male models. He is always wearing nice attire that does not suit the dress code of the restaurant at all. From expensive suits to branded loafers. In order to catch his table before someone else does, I quickly log my current tables order in my electronic note pad before I make my way to him. His head is down in his phone so I decide to step away and give him some more time to think. I turn around and start to walk towards the back..

"Wait, where you going, I am ready." I hear from behind me. I turn around quickly.

I smile weakly and walk back to his table "Oh great, may I take your order?" I ask with a blush.

"Sure, can I have two  large coffee's, you know how I like them." He winks.

I blush nodding, "I'll be right up." I say, walking off towards the back counter.

I make two large coffee's , with cream and soy milk then turn around to spy at his table. My heart sinks as a blonde haired young 20 something has joined him. His girlfriend presumably. I sigh under my breath. All the good ones are taken it seems. I push the coffee's on a tray and make my way back over to the table. I try to force a natural smile but anyone that knows me, would know my current smile is far from genuine. 

"Here's your two coffee's." I say through gritted teeth and make sure to get a better look at the girl.

"Thanks." They both answer at the same time.

I nod and walk back over to the counter. I sit on a stall and start daydreaming about measly stuff. 

"Angelina...."

What does she have that I don't have? Maybe I took too long to make a move...

"ANGELINA.."

I jump a little and turn to Claire who is looking both concerned and scared.

"Sorry Claire." I say standing up.

"I'm going on break will you be okay?".

"Sure yeah." I watch Claire leave the kitchen and I turn back to his table. I gasp a little as his tongue is down this girls throat.  

My phone vibrates in my side pocket and I sneak out back to take the call. I really shouldn't be leaving the main eating place unattended but what the heck.

It was my older sister Lulu.

"Hey sis." She beams.

"Hey bubba, I can't speak much, at work but whats up."

"Can I come by yours next weekend and stay over?".

"Sure thing from Friday yeah?".

"Yeah, I have some juicy announcements." She squeals.

Should I be excited? Yes of course. I am very close to my sister and when she is happy and excited, I am to but was I excited? Well no, as paranoia creeps in, what if it good news in her eyes but bad news in mine. As well as the idea that her life is going get even more better then it already is creeps me out. 

"Sounds awesome, just drop me another call midweek." I reply.

"Will do sweetie, see you."

"Bye Lu." I say hanging up.

I hurry back to the front where the restaurant is filling up with many people, time to get back to work.

Xander POV:

Although, Mum is a pest, I am looking forward to a home cooked meal.

I enter the house and hear the living room TV on. I pass  by the kitchen and enter the living room. Mum is eyeing the TV intently whilst smoking. A empty glass and large vodka bottle is also on the coffee table. I squirm as I already know there is no home cooked meal tonight, she has probably been in this spot all day drinking and smoking her life away. 

"How's dinner coming along?" I call out.

Mum waves me away and ignores my question.

"For goodness sake mum, you had one job." I moan and stomp out the room.

With nothing else to do and it being a Friday night, I know where I will end up tonight and boy am I ashamed every time it is over.
