I’ll see you for breakfast. Wear something sexy

I work at a diner, sexy doesn’t work there

Sleep well, Edie

Night Frank

“Get yourself together, girl. This is just to shut everyone up.” I mumbled to myself while shaking my head.

Blocking out the random thoughts, I put my phone on the charger and went to shower. I didn’t have time to think about Frank or how he made me feel.

This morning Edie met my eyes. She even smiled at me.

Watching her and Evie tackle the breakfast rush impressed the hell out of me. Those girls worked in sync, and it reminded me of a dance. Head motions, one word spoken, and looks between them was all they used.

I leaned back against the wall and felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Pulling it out, I smiled at seeing the message from Romeo.

Hey brother, how’s it goin?

Got a job, found a house, and got a thing for a single mom

Outstanding

Now I’m fucked

Why’s that?

Are you kidding? Mom’s all over the fact that you have a woman

She ain’t mine yet

But I’m working on changing that

Besides it’s not like I planned to come here and fall for someone

The best relationships never are

How is Edith?

She’s fucking amazing

And I like the kid too

So what’s the story there?

Pregnant right after graduation, he cheated on her and bailed

What an ass

Yep

He’s not allowed in the pub or the diner.

That’s a good thing.

I just need her to give me a fair shot.
