Varsity Bad Boy Series

Book One Varsity Bad Boy: Chapter 6

Olivia

I’m back from my classes, but I need to get ready for work. Although my scholarship pays for my classes and books, I still need a job to pay for rent and food.

I work at this themed restaurant called Po Folks. It is a country, hillbilly theme. So, I have to wear jeans and this midriff checked puffy sleeve top. My hair needs to be pulled up. It is supposed to look like a hillbilly.

The job sucks, but the pay is good and it is close to campus. One thing that is bad is a lot of students will come here after games or drinking. Mostly it is because of the bathrooms. They are called the Shidders and the novelty is because when asked where the bathroom is we are supposed to say, “the shitters are that way.” The college kids love that they get to use the shidders.

I borrowed Anthony’s car to get to work. He doesn’t mind loaning it to me. He acts like a big brother to me when he knows I’m working nights at the restaurant. He would rather me be safe in his car than walking home late.

I get to work, and Andrea, the one that is in charge tonight tells me they had a huge rush this evening. It’s because the hockey team at the university had a game today. This must be the post game crowd I’m guessing. Only blessing in being this busy is that I will get some nice tips.

I’m working with 4 tables in my section. I just finished gathering the bill and the tip left by the previous customer when a bulky body sat down at the table.

“I’m sorry, we haven’t cleaned the table yet. Let me go and get that done now for y’all.” We are supposed to talk to as many customers as possible.

When I look up to the body sitting at the table, I see Liam and a few of the football players.

“No sweat there, Olivia. Take your time.” He says winking at me. I roll my eyes at him and turn to get the busboy to clean the table.

After the busboy is done, I give the guys their menus and say, “I’ll be back real soon, to get y’all drink orders, ok honey.”

Right now I’m really hating the scripts I have to use for my job.

“We make it easy, we all want water right now, Olivia.” Liam says, smirking.

“Sure thing, 4 waters, I will be back with them. You need anything else, I’m a hop, skip, and jump away.” I tell them.

God, I’m hating these scripts. Why did they have to sit in my section?

I stop to help out one of the other tables in my section before I go to get water for the football players. I come back and give the guys their waters.

“Y’all figure out whatcha want?” I ask them.

“Yep, where is the bathroom?” One of the football players asked me. Here we go the stupid script I have to say.

“You mean the shidders? Well the shidders are that way. Beware the shidders might be occupied and you may need to wait y’all turn.” I say.

The table bursts out laughing. To them it is funny, but to say this like 100 times a night, it gets old very fast.

“Ok, guys. Olivia, I think we are ready to order now.” Liam smiles at me.

Is he going to say my name after everything he says?

“Sure thing honey, what can I get for y’all?”

“Ok Olivia, I like to get…” Liam says.

My god, he is going to say my babe after every sentence. I think before I hear him say,

“Country fried steak with mashed potatoes and maybe a side of your phone number?”

I just look at him and say as cool as I can, “sorry honey, we seem to be fresh out of my phone number tonight.”

The guys laugh at Liam’s failed attempt to get my number. They give me their orders and I put them in for the kitchen.

“You got a good table.” Mindy, one of the other waitresses here says.

“I do?” I ask her.

“Yeah, you have some football players and one of them is Liam Andrews.” She says.

“Trust me it isn’t a big deal. He is just a jackass in real life. I know, they live right next to me.” I told her.

“You live next to the football gods?” Mindy says with disbelief.

“Football gods? They are not football gods. They may be good looking, but trust me they are very shallow.” I told her.

Liam

Since we have the week off from football, Mikey suggested we go out to dinner. It was late and the only place worth going to is this hick restaurant called, Po Folks. The gimmick they have is what they call the bathrooms.

It is the only way you can say s**t without being in trouble basically because they use a d instead of a t and call them Shidders. The food is decent and cheap and bonus is the waitresses wear these cute hillbilly girl uniforms.

We walked in and I was surprised to see Olivia working here. This was just pure luck.

So I motioned for the guys to sit at the table she was just taking change off of. That way we would definitely be in her area.

She actually sounded cute with her country talk. I knew I was pressing my luck by asking for her phone number, but it was worth the shot.

When she came back with our food, I decided to ask her about when she gets off.

“If there is anything else you need just holla.” She says.

“Actually Olivia, what time is your shift done?” I ask her.

“Why do you want to know?” She asked.

“Olivia, it is late and you do live next door. If you need a ride, that’s all.” I told her.

“It is ok, I have Anthony’s car. He lets me use it when I have a late shift, but thank you.” She says and goes back to give a check to another table.

“Hey L, are you interested in Olivia or something?” Eric, our wide receiver asks me.

“Me? You know me, nope she challenged me, and just trying to do this challenge.” I told him.

“She told him she would sleep with him if he really got to know her.” Mikey says.

“For real? Man, that sounds like a dangerous challenge to me,” Eric says.

“Why do you say that?” I ask Eric.

“Once you get to know her, you might end up falling for her.” Eric says.

“That won’t happen. I don’t fall for girls. I gotta stay focused, if you fall for a girl or get into a relationship with one. You lose focus.” I tell them.
