Ellie

It was Wednesday night. Weekdays weren’t extremely busy at the restaurant where I worked as a hostess. Even though it wasn’t busy, the manager was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. One of the biggest businessmen and his associates were coming in tonight to have a company meeting.

I was overseeing the preparations in the private room that they reserved. This was the first time this group was coming here. Apparently, their regular restaurant had double booked accidentally, so we were their next option. The manager was hoping to get them to permanently switch to us.

I wasn’t sure why the manager was freaking out so much. To me they were just customers. I treated all the customers the same. Whether they were business bigwigs or middle class that had saved up to come and have a nice dinner date, I made sure that they all felt important.

Ellie! the manager yelled.

I rolled my eyes, not where he could see obviously. Yes?

Is everything ready? They will be here soon. Make sure you stay right on hand to help them with anything they need.

Yes sir.

I didn’t bother reminding him that I had the whole front of the restaurant to run as well, not just this room. Thankfully the rest of the restaurant shouldn’t be too busy. The room was ready, so I went back out front to greet more guests coming in, plus be there when the group arrived.

Right at seven the group showed up. I greeted them and showed them to the back room. Each of the men were tall and well built. It was easy to see even in their suits. There were seven men in total.

What struck me as odd about this group, was that they all showed up on motorcycles. Well that wasn’t the odd part. The odd part was that they were sports bikes and not Harleys like a lot of guys in groups drove. They seemed more like a high-end gang than businessmen. I certainly had nothing against motorcycles. I drove a sports bike myself. I just wasn’t part of a gang.

When they entered the restaurant, they seemed to suck the air out of it. They were definitely an intimidating presence to most. They didn’t bother me any. They were just customers. Some of the waitresses shrunk away from them though.

The main businessman, Marcus Mahone, was the most imposing presence of all of them. He never said much to us, just nodded for the most part. He had black hair that was cut short on the sides and longer on top and green eyes. He was quite attractive. I quickly pushed that thought away. I needed to focus.

We quickly set up extra tables for them to set their helmets and riding jackets on. I assigned one of the more experienced waitresses to greet other guests as I attended to the group. I gave them each a menu once they were seated. I looked at the waitress that was supposed to take their drink orders, and she was shaking like a leaf, eyes wide in fear. I sighed.

April, why don’t you go help up front. I’ll take their orders, I said.

She nodded and hurried out of the room like the devil was on her tail. I pulled out a pad and pen and went
