Chapter 2
Sydney was getting ready for work. In front of her, all over her bed, were many different dresses that she could wear to work today. It needed to be gorgeous and professional, but not too fancy or sluttish. She finally settled on a yellow and brown summer dress for the lunch crowd and a black just-above-the-knee D&G dress for the evening crowd. The neckline was low, but not too low; just what she needed.
Today was her first day as hostess of Daniel’s. Not only that though; it was her first day back at work after breaking up with Danny. She was feeling better about it already. Everyone was right – Danny just wasn’t good enough for her; she deserved better.
It was surprising everyone how fast she was over Danny. She was really hurt inside, but she didn’t think about him. If she wanted to, she could move on, it just isn’t time for that yet. Maybe when she meets the ‘right guy’ she would take a chance, she would just be careful for the time-being. No more heartbreak, she promised herself before leaving the apartment.
She got to work an hour later, carrying her garment bag through the door she was greeted by Weiss who had seen her through the window. “Hey Syd! Nervous about today?” he asked.
“Nope, I’ve filled in for Sharon before so I should be ok,” she walked behind the bar and folded her dress for the evening into one of the cupboards. “By the way, what do you think of this dress for the lunch crowd?” she asked him while taking a slight spin.
“It’s really pretty,” he said smiling.
“Thank you. So it’s appropriate first day of my promotion dress?” she asked.
He nodded. “Well, you made it just in time, here’s Dixon.”
They sat through their normal meeting before Sydney left and got a quick lunch before the customers began rolling in. She came back into the restaurant and within five minutes they had their first people coming in. Sydney showed them to their seats with a smile and four hours later she was in the back changing for the evening crowd. They started rolling in and Sydney did the same as she had earlier, but this time she had been hit on by several men.
She had just seated a table of eight when a man walked through the door. She smiled at him, “Welcome to Daniel’s, do you have a reservation?” she kindly greeted.
“Um, not exactly, I’m meeting my friend here. He’s the bartender here.”
“I’m sorry, he isn’t expecting anyone tonight.”
“Come on, I’m surprising him. I haven’t been in town for a while and I wanted to say hi.”
“I don’t know,” she said uncertainly. She wasn’t supposed to bring people to the bar unless she had been told before-hand or if they had a reservation. She really didn’t want to get in trouble on the first day of her promotion, so she would have to escort him to make sure that he was really Weiss’ friend.
“Come on, don’t you think it’s a simple thing?” he said a little more frustrated.
“Fine,” she sighed, “I’ll have to bring you there though.”
He sighed and shook his head. “Fine,” he said angrily.
She walked him to the bar and saw Weiss instantly perk up at the sight of him. She smiled at the other man before walking away and was rewarded with a dark glare from him.
“Jesus,” he said to Weiss, “What’s her problem?” he asked.
“Syd?” Weiss asked, “Nothing, why?”
“She was a total bitch. She wouldn’t let me walk over here after I told her that I knew you.”
“Mike, we’re not supposed to let people just wander through the restaurant, she’s just doing her job. And I hope you didn’t give her a really hard time because it’s her first day doing that job and she’s had a rough week.”
“That doesn’t give her any right to be that way,” Vaughn scoffed.
“Okay,” he sighed and then smiled, “So what are you doing here?” he asked.
“I’m in town for a business thing and thought that I should drop by and see you. It’s been awhile.”
Weiss took a piece of paper from a waitress and began to prepare some drinks. “Well it’s nice to see you buddy. How long are you in town?”
“A while. Right now it looks like a month. We’re doing a big merger and it’s going to take up a lot of my time.”
“Ah, so how is the whole lawyer thing working out for you?” Weiss asked.
“Well, it’s pretty good. I’ve been offered a place as a partner.”
Weiss smiled over at him, “Wow, dude that’s great!”
He nodded and smiled, “I guess.”
“What’s up?” Weiss asked when he saw his friend frown.
“Alice and I broke up.” Vaughn looked down at his feet with a frown upon his face.
“Oh, man I’m sorry. I know you cared about her…” Weiss drifted off. He had liked Alice, but he knew that she wasn’t the right person for Mike.
“You know, you were right. When Alice and I got serious and you told me that she wasn’t right for me, I didn’t believe it until now. You were right.”
“Mike, you’ll find someone better. I know you will.”
Vaughn nodded and looked out the window, watching the cars and people outside in the dark, “I should go. I have a meeting tomorrow morning.”
“Hey, Mike, why don’t you come over tomorrow night. It’s Sunday so the secondary staff is working. I’ll have some people over and I’m sure they’d love to meet you.”
Vaughn nodded and turned to leave. He saw the hostess at the front of the restaurant looking over the dining room and noticed that her smile was faltering. At this moment he felt like the worst person in the world. A beautiful girl was just doing her job and he had to be a jackass.
He walked over to her, passing the customers eating their delicious meals and walked up to her, “Hi, I’d like to apologize for how I was acting earlier…” he paused when she sighed and then looked up at him.
“No problem,” she said sarcastically.
“Look, I want you to be okay with it because Eric’s my friend and I can tell he cares about you. I’m going to be in town for a while and I thought that we should get along for his sake at least.”
She nodded, “Yeah, sure. Fine with me,” she said quickly as a young couple in semi-formal attire came waltzing through the front door. “Welcome to Daniel’s,” she said cheerily, “Do you have a reservation?” was the last thing she said before he turned and left the restaurant.
This is not my week, he thought.
