She took me back to the kitchen and there I found all the workers busier than bees.
Hold on; am I imagining this or something? Mico Salvatore is here? In ace of spade? In the place where I work?
Oh, God! I could feel my stomach rumbling. My heart was playing jingle bells.
“Alyssa! Whyre you standing there like a heap of sand? Get busy!” Mr Franco broke into my thoughts raucously and I looked for something to do.
Mia looked at me and whispered something to her “partners in crime” and they all laughed.
Whatever.
“More orders are coming in. Mico has just ordered free drinks and food for everyone” Kate said in a low tune.
She was now standing beside me.
“He’s here with his cousins, Alyssa. Have you heard of those cousins of his? They’re twins and they’re so hot, Alyssa! I wish I could see them. They’re in the VVIP room.”
My face was turning all red.
Oh, my crush is here. My sweet Mico. I wish you knew there was someone like me.
“Make sure you’re very careful with those. Ve… ry careful” Mr Franco said to a particular set of waitresses who arranged some food and drinks in trays.
“Alyssa and Kate, get these to table 11” Mr Franco Said in a haste and I carried the trays with Kate.
We got its outside and everybody’s teeth were out.
They were all smiling, talking, giggling…
– Oh my God! How do I get to that room? I really need to see him…
– Oh, Mico! You needed to had seen the way he walked in. He’s really a model. He looks really cute..
– I really need a shot with him…
– Oh Mico!
I couldn’t hear any other thing aside Mico, Mico, Mico.
Can you imagine? All these cheap ladies. They should keep fooling themselves; trying to drag Mico with me. My one and only mico.
I delivered the trays and headed back to the kitchen with Kate.
“I wish I’d be assigned to the VVIP room, Alyssa” Kate said to me and I rolled my eyes.
Even her? Mtchewwww.
We got back to the kitchen and just as if Mr Franco was awaiting my arrival, he called my name immediately.
“Alyssa, Mia, Rose and mike, quick! Get these trays to the VVIP room immediately. They’re for Mico and his cousins”.
Okay. Now, I think the jingle bells in my heart just turned to horse racing. Tell me it’s a dream.
Did he just mention my name or did he say something like…
“Alyssa! What’re you standing there for? Come on!” He shouted again and I stuttered for words.
“Uh… s… sir, me?” I asked and Kate nudged me.
“What is wrong with you?” She whispered and I shook my head and took one of the trays, headed for the VVIP room to meet Mico Salvatore.
Mia who was walking behind me, caught up with me and smiled.
“Don’t have any dreams, gray eyes. Don’t forget you’re just a waitress” said to me and walked in front.
I couldn’t tell why I suddenly felt nervous. I mean, Mico is my crush right? Shouldn’t i be excited seeing him?
But I felt incomplete. I’ll be meeting face to face with my crush for the first time looking like a waitress.
I didn’t even bath before coming here because I was running late. I didn’t brush my hair and didn’t apply aby make up.
How on earth will Mico notice someone like me?
We got to the VVIP door – Very Very Important Person – and about eight guards were standing outside. I heaved a big sigh as the door was opened for us and we walked in.
First, the gleaming lights in the room wouldn’t let me see whom was whom, but then at the round table in the middle of the room, I saw a young boy wearing a mask.
He ws laughing when I got in and God! Was that for real?
Was that really Mico? How could someone be that stylish and cute?
Sparkles kept flashing into my eyes as everything he wore glittered with diamonds. He even had dimples.
Oh, my Mico… face to face with him.
He was chatting with his cousin brothers who were of the same height with him and they didn’t really pay attention to we the waitresses coming in.
His cousins were cute, but they were nothing compared to my Mico. He was breath taking.
“I’m telling you, she’ll give in” one of the cousins Said and the others chuck.
We arranged the foods and drinks on the table and oh, God! I was standing next to Mico. But he wasn’t even looking at me.
Come on Mico, just a stare.
I was trying to drop a glass of wine on the table when I heard a magical voice said something like:
“Miss, could I get some chocolates?”
Oh, God! I’m dreaming, right?
That ws Mico’s voice and he was talking to me.
It sent shivers down my spine and out of shock, the glass of wine left my hand and poured on him.
Oh–Oh
Don’t – tell – me.
“What the…” one of the cousins shrieked but didn’t complete it.
“Alyssa!!!” All the waitresses called in shock and I felt hot tears coming to my eyes.
Alyssa, what have you done? What type of mistake is this???
Mico got on his feet, staring at his stained dress that looked like it could buy a house and I quickly went on my knees.
I didn’t even know what to say.
“S… sir… It was a mistake… I… I… didn’t… I’m sorry… I…”
“Are you this clumsy?” He asked and I swear, my heart stopped beating .
Oh, no! My Mico… Please, don’t be mad at me. I beg of you.
