“Mom… No. Not again.” Maya rolled her eyes as she reached for the tall
stack of plastic cups. They were on a shelf that was almost too high for her
to reach.
“He’s a nice man. How will you ever find a husband if you don’t give
anyone a chance, Maya?”
Maya finally managed to get her fingers under the corner of one of the
cups and lure the entire stack forward. When it tipped in her direction, the
row of cups fell right into her arms. Thank goodness.
She turned to face her mother who was standing in the doorway of the
supply closet with her hands on her hips. “Mom, stop it. No. He’s like fifty.
Why would you want me to go out with a man who’s old enough to be my
father?”
Her mother narrowed her gaze. “He’s not that old. Don’t be silly. He’s
kind and funny.”
“He’s gray, wrinkly, and balding.” She didn’t really care if a man was
bald or not, but the man her mother was entertaining at table four in the
restaurant had a combover, and that was just wrong. Maya shuddered.
Her family owned La Havana, a Cuban restaurant with a coveted
location on the main strip. Her brother, Mateo, managed the restaurant.
Maya mostly tried to stick to helping in the kitchen and restocking. She was
too introverted to work at the hostess stand, and the thought of taking orders
or bussing tables made her feel ill inside. What if she got someone’s order
wrong or dropped a tray of plates? No, thank you.
Her mother blocked her exit. “Okay, fine. Not this man, but you need to
be more openminded. If you worked out front more often—”
“Mom…” She groaned in exasperation. “I need to get these cups to
Mateo.”
Her mother finally stepped out of the way.
Maya was so rattled from her meddling mother that she wasn’t paying
close enough attention to where she was going, and as soon as she stepped
into the main area of the restaurant, she tripped over her own two feet, lost
her grip on the cups, and watched in horror as the stack teetered forward
until it finally crashed to the floor.
The noise sounded like fireworks going off in Maya’s mind. It seemed
like every single cup landed separately and bounced ten times. Meanwhile,
every patron in the restaurant turned to look at her.
Maya’s face heated to a thousand degrees. This was exactly why she
hated working out front. She was clumsy and awkward. Now everyone was
staring at her.
Dropping to her knees, she rushed to gather up the cups. Besides the
mess, this stack would have to go back to the dishwasher now. They’d
touched the floor.
