An olive skinned girl hid behind the counter of a tiki-hut refreshment bar. She picked up a few colorful empty cups and plates with the remains of food. She wore a black apron that wrapped around her waist and a white tank top. Hidden underneath the apron were a pair of denim cuffed shorts and on her feet were a pair of burlap Toms. Her auburn hair was in a high ponytail and a nose ring gem shinned in the light.
She left the front of the bar, and went through the swinging down that looked like it was made out of straw. Kat placed all the dishes in the sink, leaving them for the interns. She didn’t understand why on earth this place would have interns, but at least she didn’t have to do the dishes. Once in a while she would see a familiar face or two, but most the time just common everyday strangers.
She heard a familiar ‘ding’ from the silver bell that they had for customers to ring if there wasn’t anyone out at the moment. She hesitated, but then came out of the swinging door. She took their order, sweetly for tips, and handed the order off to the chef.
It was humid, but it also felt nice. The restaurant/bar always smelled of fish, as it was the most popular item of the menu, and it currently filled the air. The radio version of Fuck You by Cee Lo Green came on and she began humming to it, wanting something to do.

Logan had just finished a nice dip into the cool ocean. The sun blazed onto his back. He rubbed his shaved chin then ran his fingers through his brown shaggy hair. His blue eyes scanned around the beach. Logan went back to his spot were he left all his things. He sat on a beach chair for a while putting on a pair of avitor sunglasses. A slight smirk came across his face but slowly faded. He loved going to the beach on a warm sunny day in California. He liked the way the sand squished in between his toes. The beach was one of his favorite places to go.
Logan had been sitting their for quite sometime now. The sun soaked up his wet body. Sighing a bit he felt a slight hunger crave growling inside his stomach. It was about lunch time. He got out his phone and checked to see if he had any messages or missed calls. But, he didn't. He began to gather up his things. Logan carried his white tee shirt. The shirtless man began to stroll down the beach to decide were to eat today. Everywhere seemed pretty packed today. Finally, he decided on the beach side refreshments.
Logan walked into the small shack that seemed pretty busy. He sat down at a rounded table that sat two. But, only one would be seated which would be him. He patiently waited for the red-headed waitress to take his order. She seemed really busy. He didn't mind waiting though. Logan began to browse the menu. He had been deciding what he'd like to eat and drink. A nice cheeseburger and coke sounded more then great right now. He wore a slight smile across his face as he rubbed his neck gazing his blue eyes around the shack.

Kat noticed the place was getting fuller by the minute, which was sort of a bad thing. Sure she got more tips, but she had to be 'happier' and had to bust more tables. The sun was still shinning, as it always was in the 'glamorous' Los Angelos.
She took a few more orders and took the menus from tables. A cute boy sat down, and caught her attention. He already had his menu, but nothing else. Kat put away the extra menus in her hands and grabbed a water before she walked to him.
"Hey, I'm Kat and I'll be your waitress today," she greeted. She hand him a water. She grabebd a straw out of her black apron and placed it on the table. "Are you waiting for anyone else?" Kat asked noticing the empty seat. His hair was still damp, and messy. She was tempted to mess it up even more with her hand, but decided againist it.

Logan looked up to an un-fimilar voice. The red-headed waitress, Kat. He smiled up at her sweetly. "Hi Kat, and uh no." He would have asked her to sit but she seemed pretty busy. The place was getting pretty packed second by second. Logan was a patient person unless he was having a bad day. But, today, was almost perfect to him. "I'm Logan by the way. Its okay if you don't remember it." He said with a slight smirk. His blue eyes looked around the shack as he swallowed some saliva. His eyes shifted up to her soft rounded brown eyes as he waited for her reply.

Kat smiled as he said his name. She would try to remember it; Logan. People normally didn't tell her their names, but she appreciated that he did. ”Oops, are you ready to order?” she asked, forgetting that she was on waitress duty. His blue eyes seemed to glimmer, but a guy like him must have had plenty of girls. Besides, he charmed every girl he met, Kat was just falling under his spell.
Kat pulled out her note pad, and found a unused piece of paper. She also grabbed out a blue pen, waiting for Logan to tell her his order.

Logan took one last glance at the menu before ordering. "Hmm.. Just a cheeseburger with the works. I would like that with some french fries and a coke." He said with a smile while he closed the menu shut. He handed it towards Kat. He sighed silently under his breathe. He felt sorry for her. She looked like she had been working hard for hours without a lot of help. Logan looked up at her noticing she was sweating a bit. She looked younger. Logan then broke the eye contact and looked at the table with a grin. He ran his fingers through his brown shaggy hair.

Kat wrote down his order and placed the notepad in the pocket of her black apron. She felt herself sweating, as she wiped it off with her figner. "Just holler if you need anything else," Kat said politely.
Kat walked away and headed toward the kitchen to filled up his coke. She tore out his order and handed it to the head chef. "Everything," she told him as she grabbed a bold-color glass for his drink. Kat placed it under the soda machine and waited for it to fill up. When it was merely to the top she took it out and placed two bright neon straws in it with a slight on lemon on the rim.
Kat walked out with the coke and handed it to Logan. "Here," she smiled and she placed it on a cardboard coaster.

Logan looked at her, "Okay, cool." He said with a smile. He got out his phone and started to text a few of his friends. He waited for Kat to arrive with his drink. As he waited he began to surf the internet. After a mintue or so she was back, "Thank you much." He said friendly with an innocent smirk. He took a sip of it and let out an ahhh after a long sip of it. He began to continue what he was doing earlier waiting for his food to come out.

Kat kept clearing some tables, and dealing with some rude customers. Oh, the nerve they had. Kat walked back into the kitchen to check on a few meals, and was suprised to see that Logan's was done. She double checked with the chef to make sure there was everything on his cheeseburger and headed out the double-swinging-door.
When she arrvied at Logan's table once more she placed his meal in front of him. "Bon appitite!" she sang as she moved ehr hands out of the way of his food. He seemed busy on his phone, so she just waited to see if he needed anything more.

Logan was suprised that his food was done so fast. He ate a french fry from his plate. Logan put his phone next to him on the table. He rubbed his hands together and licked his lips playfully. "Merci Beaucoup." He replied in french with a smirk on his face. He looked at her for a slight second. Logan kind of wished she wasn't so busy at the minute. He could use some company right about now. Logan was just bored and felt dumb just sitting there by himself. Logan ate another french fry as he looked up at her with his light blue eyes.

She laughed as he spoke in French. She didn’t know anything besides bon appetite, so he was out of luck. The restaurant seemed to be slowly down, which was nice. I’ll be right back,” she said playfully. ”And I don’t know how to say that in French.” she added.
Kat took some credit cards from the bar and the tables and rang them up and delivered them back. Kat washed her hands in the sink in the back and refilled someone’s drink. Everyone loved a free refill, so it seemed. A new worker appeared, and was there to take her shift. “Thank goodness!” she exclaimed as she gathered up her tips.
Kat went back to Logan, as her shift was over. She took off her black apron and held it in the palm of her hand. ”Hey, my shift is over,” she whispered.

Logan laughed at her, "Thats okay. It means thank you very much." He stated. He took a bit out of his cheeseburger. He sipped some coke to swallow done the burger. It was really good. It was hot and fresh. Logan grabbed the ketchup and dumped some on the side of his frys. A smiliar pattern apperead as he ate. Dip 3 frys, take a bite of his cheeseburger, take a sip of his Coke, and then do it again. He wasn't done eating yet. Maybe about half way done. The waitress was back. He smiled at her. "Oh hey, you want to sit down now?" He asked nicely then dipped another fry and stuck it in his mouth.

Kat felt herself giggling as he explained what it meant. She knew what it meant of course, she just didn’t know much of it. ”I’m not laughing at you, that much, it’s just I know what it means,” she said starting to giggle again. She watched him eat, in a particular way which she found interesting. She could never eat her food in such a fashion. ”Are you sure?” she asked looking at the seat. She didn’t want to intrude, but if he were to say that he insisted than she would politely take the empty chair.

Logan nodded,"You have had a busy day. Go ahead sit down." He said with a friendly smile. He took a sip of his drink and a bite out of his burger.His blue eyes studied Kat for a slight second the shifted towards his food. "Do you like your job?" Logan asked curious to find out. He knew if he had this job he wouldn't enjoy it.

Kat took the seat across from him and sat. He cerianly used his charm on her, which reminded her of the song 'you could drive a person crazy' which she sang for the talent show one year when she was little.
"Work? Well it's not too bad. I mean, there are the rude customers, but there are also nice people like you." she said feeling her cheeks turn into a blush color. "And I'm on the beach. I get free food, though most of it is meat." she said. Kat didn't eat meat, which the place had a lot of.
