All I Want for Christmas Is You
Chapter Six: Table 15
I walked up to one of my tables and stared down at the dollar tip the snotty couple had left me. I rolled my eyes and picked up my dollar and pocketed it before walking back to the kitchen where Veronica was fixing to take out her order. “They left me a dollar tip.”
Without looking up from what she was doing, Veronica asked, “Who?”
“That snotty couple.”
“You mean the ones who had you running around like a chicken with its head cut off?”
“Yeah.”
She snorted. “Figures.”
I rolled my eyes and leaned back against the counter, folding my arms over my chest. “I thought working in a popular LA restaurant would get us good tips.”
“I thought so too. I guess we forgot to take into consideration that some people in LA are mega ass holes.”
Suddenly, the kitchen door swung opened and Libby ran in squealing like a hysterical little girl. Veronica and I gave her strange looks and she walked over, pulling out her compact mirror. She checked her makeup and touched up her lipstick, she then looked back at us. “Keanu Reeves just arrived and he’s at my table. He’s with a male friend.”
“Really?” said Veronica. “Maybe he’s gay.” Libby gave Veronica a dirty look and left the kitchen.
I laughed softly. “How come celebrities always sit at her tables?”
“Oh that’s easy!” She lifted her tray of food to take out. “She sleeps with the manager.” I nodded my head and watched Veronica leave the kitchen.
“Table 8 is order is up!” Hearing my table, I grabbed a tray and started to put the plates of food on it.
Suddenly, again the kitchen door swung open and Jeff the manager rushed in. He scanned the kitchen and called my name. I turned to him and watched him come up to me. “I need you and Veronica to take table 15.”
I made a face. “But that’s Libby’s table.”
“I know-”
Veronica walked into the kitchen, cutting Jeff short. “What Jeff is so important that you needed to talk to me?”
He looked at Veronica. “Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez are at table 15. They have a party of 10. They asked for you girls to wait on them.”
“Seriously?” I said.
Jeff nodded and said, “Do you know them?”
“Uh…” Veronica looked at me and smiled. “Yeah I guess we do.”
