“THANK YOU, Dad.” I kissed his cheek before waving as I got off his jeep.
“Be careful daughter,” he ordered me.
“Yes! You too, Dad. Don’t forget to take your medicine.” I waved my hands before turning around to enter the backdoor of a resto-bar.
I went straight to the locker room and quickly got dressed, slightly applying lipstick and powder before going out.
“Hi, Cherry!” Fernan, the janitor at the bar I work for, greeted me.
“Good evening, Fer.” I smiled at him and then continued walking.
I went inside while tying my apron, and I slightly adjusted my name pin.
“Cherry, one bucket in room five!” Jacky immediately shouted at me when she saw me.
“Okay,” I said, turning to Calix, who was wiping the table.
“One bucket, please.” I leaned over the table and simply tucked the hair to my ear as he turned away.
He looked at me and dropped the bucket at the counter table while chewing bubble gum in his mouth.
“Thank you.” I smiled at him, and he just shrugged his shoulders at me.
I walked along with the tables. The bar was full tonight because it was Friday. On this day, our typical customers were students. However, the customers were different today, and the bar was crowded, so I was stuck in the middle.
“Excuse me! Excuse me!” I shouted loudly. It was good that some parted when they noticed my waitress uniform.
I just breathed a sigh of relief as I entered the hallway and walked down to the private room for the performers tonight.
“Room service,” I said as I knocked on the door.
But they seem busy because I can only hear laughs inside the room.
“Hello, room service!” I raised my voice again.
I blew out a breath. I gently blew my bangs while leaning against the side of the wall. While I waited, I dropped the bucket on the floor and grabbed my cell phone from my pocket to update my Facebook status. But I had not yet finished when the door opened.
I flinched, and my eyes turned to him.
He transparently looked at me with his two narrow eyes, then looked down at the bucket on the floor.
“Is this what we ordered?” His voice was so cold like a deep ocean, and I seemed embarrassed by his deep voice.
He took the bucket off the floor.
“Ah, yes, Sir. I’m just waiting for someone to open the—”
I flipped my fingers in the air when he just turned his back on me without warning and shut the door close.
“Argh!” I smirked as I tried to leave when I heard the door open again.
Another face peeked from the inside, so I stopped.
“Sir?” I had a big smile on my face when I turned to him.
“Ah, Miss, can you please add more ice?” He smiled broadly at me.
“Alright. Do you want anything else, Sir?” I asked again.
“That’s all. Thank you.” Then he closed the door.
I jumped back to the counter and bowed to Calix, who was busy mixing beverages.
He glanced at me and raised an eyebrow slightly.
“What is that?” I asked impatiently.
“Blue Hawaii, sweet and sour mix with blue coraçao.” He poured the cocktail juice into a long glass and applied some pineapple chunks and cherries along with the mini umbrella.
He laid it down in front of me with a slight smile on his face. My back immediately straightened because of the kind of smile he gave me.
“Thank you.” I was about to sip on the juice when he spoke again.
