Morning Mom says Lyra. “Morning sweetie how would you like your eggs?” her mom asked. “I’m fine, I’ll just take a croissant because I’m on my way to work”. Stated Lyra. “Ok honey, do your best!” her mom shouted. “I will mom Love you!” Lyra Shouted while walking to the front door. “Love you too”. Her mom shouted. Lyra walks off their wooden porch, with these lantern lights that change color, she greets her neighbor, a young adult named Alyssa who recently moved in, ever since Mr. and Mrs. Finn moved down to Florida. Then Lyra heads to the bus stop. “Good morning Mrs. Bilton”. Lyra smiled. “Morning Lyra, did you get the job?” Mrs. Bilton said. “Yes, ma’am I did and I’m heading in for my orientation now”. Lyra stated. “Well take your seat, I’ll get you there in no time”. says Mrs. Bilton. Lyra started to look out of the window and see the trees slowly spring back to life as summer rolls in, it was a bright and cool Wednesday, “Thank you for the ride, Mrs. Bilton.” Stated Lyra while getting off the bus. “No problem”. Said Mrs. Bilton before driving away from the bus stop. Lyra opens the door to Jamaica Be Irie. Lyra sits down on the same wooden bench she sat down on when waiting for her interview, she pulls out her phone while waiting for the person that’s supposed to train her. Lyra sees someone familiar, it’s the beautiful woman with chocolate curly hair. “Hi, Lyra wright? Asks the beautiful woman. “Yes”. Lyra responded. “I’m Lucia Caruso, I’ll be training you today”. Lucia stated. “Hello nice to meet you”. Do you remember me from yesterday”. Lyra asked. “Hmm… let me see yesterday… oh your girl that had the red corduroy skirt on”. Stated Lucia. “Yup that’s me”. Lyra says. “Ok let’s get started”. “I like your shirt by the way”. Says Lucia. “Oh, thank you I love your hair”. Lyra Responded, “Thank you”. Says Lucia. Lyra and Lucia start the tour of the restaurant, they start with the kitchen, it was like stainless steel heaven, with pots and pans Lyra wasn’t even familiar with. Then they went to look upstairs, in the same room Lyra was interviewed in and bathrooms, with a storage closet full of brooms and cleaning supplies. Then Lucia shows Lyra where the hostess stands “Ok so this is where people come to reserve tables or make reservations by call”. Lucia stated, “Next, we have the giant chandelier in the middle of the dining area, with a bar, if people want to drink”. The chandelier was so extravagant with candles and jewels, so sparkly it was like looking at the sun. “We also have group tables just in case people come in and they have more than 4 friends joining them, always offer people appetizers just in case the food takes a while to come to their table, and you would thing I wouldn’t have to say that, but its mandatory.” “Next, we have the employees’ room, this is where all the workers come to lounge or break, but most times people just go to the bookstore next door and read a book while drinking coffee.” Lucia continued, “lastly, we have the fire exits by the bathroom, which is pretty self-explanatory, and that concludes the tour, what do you think?” Lucia asked, “Its great, feels like home and not home at the same time.” Lyra stated, “I picked closing shifts Monday through Friday, what time do you work Lucia?” “Yay, I work the same hours, except I take off Wednesdays, that’s me and my boyfriend’s day, but other than that I work Monday through Saturday.” “That’s good, we’ll see each other often, now about this boyfriend of-,” “Morning Ms. Blair, how are you?” Lucia stated nervously, “Fine, lily go back to work” Ms. Blair hoarsely said. “Yes ma’am,” Lucia said as her smile turned to an annoyed look, “what was that? Why’d she call you Lily”, Lyra questioned, “she got my name wrong the first time I met her, and I corrected her but she didn’t care and continued to call me lily so I just didn’t correct her, plus she’s really mean”, Lucia sighed, “So I’d steer clear of her even though she’s our supervisor, I just run to the bathroom when she’s around, she probably thinks I have malaria or something.” Lyra burst out laughing “ha-ha!!” she yelled in tears. Some time passed and Lyra and Lucia grew closer, and Lyra was assigned to the Hostess position for a few hours. “Make sure to always smile at customers, if you need help just holler, I’ll be waitressing tables 4 and 9, and I’ll tell you all about boyfriend later.” Lucia declared, “ok, I’ll hold you to it”. A few hours later, another customer comes in, Lyra’s certain he’s the eighteenth customer today. “Hi sir, how may I help you?” “Hi, I would like to reserve a table for 4 please?” The buff man said, with a voice so low, it vibrated Lyra’s brain. “Of, course, right this way” Lyra led the group of four people to a booth with abstract designs on the seats, and a nice scarlet red light. “A waitress will be right with you” Lyra stated, “Thank you” The woman with short blonde hair said as she gripped tighter to the buff man from earlier. “of course,” lyra said, Lyra walked away and noticed Lucia making a cat gesture at the woman with short hair, “ha-ha” Lyra laughed as she walked back to the employees’ room to get some coffee while she’s on break, then she bumps into Leon. Now Leon was one of those guys that were adorable and cute, while carrying a slight sexiness about himself, and he had big brown eyes with white glasses that grew even bigger as he looked at Lyra, and curly short hair with a trimmed down beard. “Are you ok?” Leon said with a voice that scratches your throat. “Sorry I didn’t look where I was going, yes, I’m ok are you ok? Lyra stated, “Yes, I’m fine, thanks” Leon chuckled, “I don’t think I’ve seen you here before, are you new? Leon questioned, “yes, I am its my first day, I’m Lyra Nice to meet you Mr.-,” Lyra inquired, “Leon, Nice to meet you Lyra” Leon said, “are you on break?” “Yes I am, I’m going to get some coffee, I have like 14 minutes left” Lyra said, “great, I’m also going to get some coffee, I’ll make you some and show you the machine because it’s a little silly” Leon stated, “Thanks, that would be great since I need coffee to get through everything in my life” Lyra said sternly, “ha-ha!” Leon busted out laughing “your funny” “It wasn’t a joke” Lyra said looking as serious as possible. Leon stopped laughing “oh, well let me get to it” Lyra chuckled “I’m just teasing you” as she sat down on the wooden chair and put her phone down on the white table in front of her. Leon began to make the coffee, adding the robusta coffee beans and filling the machine with enough water for the beans he put in, then pressing start on the machine. “Oh wow, that must’ve been so hard to make, how did you survive? Lyra said mockingly, “alright, its not as hard as I made it seem, I just wanted to have an excuse to talk to you” Leon smirked, it’s not every day I get to see a woman as beautiful as you and not even-,” Leon was interrupted with a noise that sounded like a woman distraught, “oh waitress! Make sure my lamb is cooked medium rare or I want to speak to the manager!” the woman with the short blonde hair from earlier said, “Yes ma’am, I’ll make sure to triple check the chef,” Lucia shakingly said “I’ll be right back with your appetizers” Lucia sounded as if she was on the verge of tears, and the woman with the short blonde put her foot out and tripped Lucia and she dropped the lamb and mash potatoes on the floor. “Ow, that’s hot” Lucia winced as the mashed potatoes fell on her arm. Lyra saw and was boiling but stayed professional, “Lucia are you ok?” “Yea, I think so” Lyra said fighting back her tears. “Ma’am, we will be right out with your order” Lyra said restraining as much anger as possible, “Lucia stay right here I’m going to go get some paper to- “Lyra was stopped by what felt like a brick wall, then she heard a voice smoother than butter. “Are you ok? The mysterious man said, Lyra looked up and couldn’t believe what she was seeing, It was a mocha colored man with dark brown locks, with a figure that was better that any Greek stature Lyra had ever seen, barely fitting in that gray suit, Lyra was almost praying his shirt ripped so she could see every muscle, and eyes so deep you could get lost in them and Lyra almost did. “H-hi” Lyra stuttered.
