Smooth Criminal (closed for pellso27)

Annie was a hard-working mid-twenties woman; she worked by day as a journalist for the local paper and by night as a waitress. When at home she spent her remaining time sleeping, working on her novel and tending to her cat Billie Jean.

Tonight however she was working her sixth straight shift to make rent the following week. She had taken a shift from a co-worker, thankful that it was a slow Sunday at the Dine & Dunk coffee shop. With only a couple customers having passed through she made quick work of her cleaning duties and for the most part sat and watched the clock go by also making notes for ideas to get past the next part of her novel. She could almost distract herself enough to forget she was wearing a teal outfit that cut off a bit too short to be an appropriate length for a work uniform, though the peach apron was much more oppressing of her right to dignity than the former.

With the minutes dragging by she opted to clean the tables once more, grabbing a cloth and wetting it down she began the process of wiping down each table dreaming of the day she would strike it big with her book and find a cute guy to settle down with.

Night comes again and finally I can free myself from this cage and finalize what's been a torment from the start. I take the last bag from the freezer and together my lost love and I take our last walk. I head out and like a finely tuned machine my instinct takes over and I pick a new dumpster that awaits the remains of my love. I kiss the black taped bag goodbye and toss her in the can. My heart again feels at peace, once again alone like the day I was born, I walk.

The neon light flashes, my mind quickly snaps into the new world, the world of need the world of desire the world of flesh.

As I walk closer to the lights the smell of cheap food floods my senses and like the decaying stinch of my love, I am drawn in.

Entering the diner I quickly find the restroom and shuffle past the zombies that float near. The door shuts, the sounds muffled , I wash and prepare for a new beginning.

As I sit down at a booth you appear, at first sight I know you will be wanting and needy, sure enough the first words from your mouth are weak and wanting,.

She saw someone new walk in and head directly for the bathrooms past the few regulars who were always seemingly there. Once he returned from the restrooms he sat down in one of the booths, she had watched all this through the window in the door that led to the back room. Eager to have something to do she stepped out from the aforementioned back room and approached the man who was actually really cute once she took in his features.

"Hi. What can I get ya?" She asked casually as she held her pen to notepad ready to write the order. A brief lust passed through her as his eyes looked upon hers, he wasn't just cute he was hot.

Before I can reply to this wonderful creature thats has sparked my attention, a noisy churp from some unworthy being rattles in a raspy voice. I snap and focus my eyes upon the intruder, making note that they will soon be cold on the floor of the alley behind this place.

Then I return my attention to this Tall dark hair beauty that wants my attention.

"I'll take what you would serve to someone who you wish to impress" is all I say and then add

"Oh and a glass od unsweetned tea"

While his request was a little weird she didn't let on that it had caught her off guard. There was very little on the menu outside of soup, subs and sandwiches but it wouldn't be too hard to cook up something reasonably appealing. As she wondered if he was hitting on her she headed back into the kitchen and prepared a caesar chicken wrap, something off the menu but with a bit of extra ingredients like peppers and horseradish sauce it became a new incarnation. Along with the tea she brought it out to him at his booth.

"Here you are. Enjoy, let me know if you need anything else." She said, lingering a moment before smiling and turning back to her duties cleaning the tables off. A slight smirk plaguing her lips all the while.
