Cj literally tossed a plate to his brother, a huge grin forming on his face when he didn't drop it. Below them, there sat shattered plates from there three previous attempts of using the plates like frisbees. "No more," Alexander said, trying to be stern, but failing, and cracking up at the shocked face Cj shot him, making him crack up. Madden, entered the room and Cj put on a blank face, quickly exiting the room, and the ridicule his twin sister would give them two.
A huge grin formed on his face as he piled his arms with plates; two cheeseburgers, a specialty salad, and a chicken bartuci; as well as a tray of cups. Cj made his way to table 10, asking two tables along the way how their meal was, and gave the family their food. "How's the puppy, Mr Carpson?" He asked, engaging in a short, but sweet conversation with the family who'd he'd known since his second day at the restaurant. Leaving them to their meals, Cj walked back into the kitchen, receiving a quick shove from Madden as she exited to take orders. Alexander gave him a quick laugh, taking off his apron. "I'm heading out. See you soon, probably," he muttered, grinning at his brother before signaling to a girl smiling in at Alexander from the window. Cj smiled in reply, taking down the order he had just served. After Alexander exited the kitchen, Cj reached into his pocket and pulled out a pill bottle.
He popped two pills, already feeling his last dose wearing off. His mind was getting jumpy, and while serving the waters to the Carpson's, his hand had grown shaky. At least he wouldn't be a mess during the festival.
Speaking of the festival, a quick look at his watch told him he only had five more minutes. His phone vibrated in his pocket twice, a message from Mel and a message from Belinda appearing. Cj sent each a quick message.
To: Mel
Most definitely. Tonight we party hard?
From: Cj
To: Belinda
I'll win you the biggest prize I can, maybe more ;)
From: Cj
Chuckling lightly at his flirty exchange with Belinda, Cj pocketed his phone. He took a peak out of the kitchen, searching for Jae. Where was she? No matter, his eyes fell on Jem, now at the door, talking to Alexander, who then nodded toward him, and grinned. He quickly made his way to the door, almost bumping into an old lady as he moved, careful to apologize. "J-money," he chuckled, giving his best friend their usual handshake and grinning wide. "I've got two more tables, then we're out of here."
He made his way back to the kitchen, checking the order list then picking up two drink trays and a plate of some type of fish. The drinks were for a group of girls, probably about 16, each sending Cj flirty glances, which in reply he smiled. He then brought the fish to a man sitting alone at the bar, a man he knew to have worked at a restaurant in a different part of town. It seemed other's could not keep themselves away from their food, like it was bewitched or something. Dropping the trays back off at the kitchen, and giving his mum a quick hug goodbye, Cj made his way back to Jem, grinning widely at whatever it was they'd be doing tonight.
