THE ODOR FROM THE broccoli in the rigatoni dish overpowered
Hailey’s senses as she grabbed the edge of the hot platter in her hands. She
couldn’t help but grimace.
“What’s wrong with the food?” her boss asked.
“Oh, uh, nothing. I just hate the smell of broccoli.”
“How could you hate broccoli? It’s so good for you.”
“But is it worth the attack on my taste buds, Mike?”
Mike snorted as Hailey grabbed her two plates and walked away.
She tried not to gag as she made her way across the busy dining room
toward table twenty-two. It wasn’t too busy in the restaurant and she only
had two tables at the moment, her second table already enjoying their food.
Mike was a decent enough boss. One of the better ones she’d had. A
great sense of humor, and it hardly ever became inappropriate. That was a
rare occurrence in nature for her. Her last job was as a football reporter for
the “Cherrywood Times” newspaper and the boss there couldn’t help but
make every joke either offensive or gross, a trait she came to loathe so
much that it made her rethink her life goals and leave the industry
altogether. Perhaps a less male-dominated field was where she needed to be.
It wasn’t that Hailey was overly sensitive, but there were only so many
times an employee can be asked to go get high and trashed by her pig of a
boss that she could stomach. He was her boss for cripe’s sake, not one of
the other reporters or even a friend. She also really didn’t need to know
about the pussy he was “knee-deep in” each weekend either. He was likely
full of shit anyway.
Instead, while balancing a couple part-time jobs, she was writing a
fantasy novel about dragons and hoped to become a real novelist. Her
imagination always ran wild anyway, so she might as well have started to
write it all down.
She adjusted the plates in her hands so the individual pepperoni pizza’s
aroma was wafting toward her face instead of the broccoli in the pasta dish.
The result made her sigh in relief as she approached the table.
The restaurant tables were mostly booths, which made a lot of the
clientele happy. The booths were a rich brown leather with dark wood
frames.
They lined the wall under a row of windows that the sun poured
through throughout the day, with diners begging them to adjust the blinds so
they wouldn’t be blinded by the sun’s rays. In the middle of the long
restaurant was another row of booths with a partition in the middle and then
there were four tables next to the kitchen for bigger parties and anyone that
didn’t want to or couldn’t sit in a booth.
