with doll face?”
“I ummm, I ummm,” I couldn’t remember what I was there for.
“I’ll give you a few minutes.” She was about to turn and walk off when I found my voice.
“Wait, I’m here to see, ummm,” what did my Aunt Silvia say her name was? “I’m here to see Judy… Judy Michaels.”
“Oh, you must be the new girl. I’m Carla, nice to make your acquaintance. I’ll go get Judy.” I couldn’t help but smile at her. She was so happy for a woman that looked nearly sixty. Carla was slender but had a little pot belly on her. Her salt and pepper hair matched perfectly with her dark brown eyes. I thought that I might like working here if all the people were this nice. I hoped I never had to see Cindy again. She took me back to a bad place in my memory, or maybe it was the cigarette smoke. She seemed harmless enough, but then again, so did Miss Donna at first glance. I had to stop judging people by my past. It was going to be a long hard road if I didn’t.
Then I saw the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on, aside from my mother. She had straight blond hair with hazel eyes. Her lips were perky and she had a slamming figure any woman would kill for. She was wearing a black and pink diner uniform. I knew she had to have every guy in town drooling over her.
“Hello, I’m Judy. You must be Misty.” Her voice was even perfect. It was as if she was singing to me. If I were a guy, I would so have a crush.
“Yes, my Uncle Russ called and spoke with the owner about an interview for me.”
“Yes he did. Come over to the booth and we can get started.” I followed her over to an empty booth where we both sat down.
“Here is the application you need to complete. You came at the right time because I just had a girl quit. What hours can you work? I am looking for someone full time.” I hadn’t even imagined full time work. I was hoping for part time.
“I can work any hours you need me,” I responded.
“The job is a waitress position. Do you have any waitress experience?”
“No I don’t, but I’m a fast learner. I got really good grades in high school and I pick up things quickly.” I was trying to sell myself since I had no job experience whatsoever.
“You’re hired. Complete the job application and give it to Carla before you leave. She will get you a uniform. You start the day after tomorrow at 9 a.m. Does that work for you?”
“Yes that will work. That’s it?” I was expecting a lot more. “What’s the salary?” I had almost forgotten to ask in all the excitement.
“That’s it. The pay is not high I am afraid. It is $9.00 per hour. I will see you in a couple of days. You can stay for breakfast on us.” Any pay was better than no pay. I would take anything. I nodded as she left. I finished completing the application and returned it to Carla.
“What size are you Doll?” Carla winked at me.
“I’m a size four.” Carla walked away to a back room where I was guessing they kept all of the stock. She re-emerged with two uniforms that were a size four.
“Be sure to wear extra-comfortable shoes. I like to wear Merrill’s or Born. They have a lot of cushion and support.”
“Thank you.” I pulled my phone from my pocket and sent a text to Aunt Silvia to let her know to come have breakfast with me. I also got excited to tell Drake I got the job.
Me: Got the job. Start the day after tomorrow. I’m so excited Drake! This is a new beginning.
Drake: That’s great. I’m so proud of you. Are we still meeting up today? I’d like to take you out to celebrate.
Me: Of course Babe, I can’t wait to see you. I will call you when I leave my aunt.
Drake: See you later.
“So, where ya from,” Carla asked me, making me look up from my phone.
“I’m from Texas, but I’m here staying with my aunt and uncle for a little while.” I didn’t want to divulge too much information about myself.
“That is far away. I look forward to working with you. I
“I ummm, I ummm,” I couldn’t remember what I was there for.
