“Excuse me?” I couldn’t mistake his cologne. I looked up and smiled
“Alexia.” He breathed. My name never sounded so sexy, ever. Roxi smiled and turned to me so that her back was too him and mouthed ‘I’m wet for you’, she turned right around.
“Right this way sir” and guided him to my section.
I couldn’t help but watch him as he walked to the table by the window, he was dominate and strong as he unbuttoned his suit jacket and eased his way into his seat. Roxi reached over to take away the extra table setting.
“No leave it someone will be joining me today.” She nodded.
That’s strange in the last two months that he’s been coming here he never came with anyone. Roxi started to walk away.
“Damn!” She murmured “He’s hot chika!” She growled as she was pouring the coffee into the silver kettle that we take to the tables.
“Down girl!” I held up my hands waiting for her to finish.
“Listen!” She said half scolding me “I have eyes ok, the man wants you I can feel it!” The little squint in her eyes was the cherry of her personality, she had David Bowie eyes one lighter than the other, she was hot to trot. Personally I think she scared the shit out of most men she met with her powerful sexuality, she was loud outspoken and downright crazy. God I loved my Roxi.
“Go and get him my little temptress.” She said smiling wickedly. I took the kettle from her hand and shook my head.
“That’s right girl shake it!” She shouted after me, I turned and gave her the shut the fuck up look. She mimicked the zipper across her mouth and stayed quiet for all of two seconds.
“Good morning.” I said smiling from ear to ear, I couldn’t help it. I could feel the butterflies in my belly. For god sakes I had butterflies, I never had them before. He barely acknowledged me as he was turning over his cup. My smile became smaller as I began pouring his coffee. He sat quietly skimming through the various newspapers he brought with him.
He had taken off his suit jacket that was dark gray in color leaving him with a vest and a light blue shirt. His tie was a navy blue to offset his light color shirt. I stood there staring, he was gorgeous. I waited for a response but I got nothing. I don’t know why I was so bothered by it, I should have known better.
As I stood next to him, the tiny bell over the door rang I looked up to see a beautiful petit blonde with a perfect face and full body wavy hair walking towards us. She smiled at me her teeth were an ideal shade of white while her skin had a soft sun kissed glow.
“Bonjour” I said in French.
“Good morning.” She smiled, her eyes fixated on me for just a mere moment.
“What would you like to drink?” I asked feeling my heart sink a little lower, I was nowhere near her league, it’s not like I didn’t know but it hurt anyways.
“Green tea.” She said dismissively as she leaned into Lukas.
“Ah baby you can’t see my mark on you.” I watched as she lowered his collar to show me that he belonged to her. I didn’t bother to look.
I lowered my shoulders and said “I’ll be right back with your tea Miss.”
I walked back to the counter watching Roxi’s face contort into various shapes.
“You have to be fucken kidding me?” She hissed.
“Roxi, please just give her the green tea I need a minute.” With a face of pure disgust Roxi fired back. “If I go there she’ll be wearing the fucken green tea. What the hell is she trying to do?”
My back still turned to both of them.
“I’ll do it.” Kaci had walked in and saw what had happened. “Sorry I’m a bit late I was getting ready in the back. Give me the tea I’ll take care of it.” Kaci reached over and took the small tea kettle and a placed it on a plate with a tea bag on the side.
“You know what Kaci keep the fucken table!” I bit out, annoyed at myself for falling for something so superficial. I’ll admit it that a small part of me was hoping that he was interested but now I knew I was just being stupid.
“Anything for you baby girl.” Kaci said as she started her way to their table.
I spent the next hour busying myself with my other tables and helping the girls out. Kaci had given me one of hers to balance out our sections. Roxi and Kaci spent the rest of the time making me laugh.
“Ok so get this I was waiting in line with my mom to pay my clothes when my mom decided to go in front to see what specials they had in a bin in front of the cash.” Roxi began to explain what had happened to her on her day of, “when the women in front told her daughter in Greek, not to let in the stupid woman.” Roxi made a horrified face, while Kaci and I bit our lips not to laugh, “I turned to the woman and proceed to tell her off, in Greek, that my mom wasn’t cutting in line, when my sister came up from behind me and told me, ‘ah you know Linda?’, the fucken bitch was my sister’s friend.”
