Chapter Four: Coffee, Tea, or Me
According to my reckoning it would take ten minutes to reach the church and since it was still early, I decided to find something to eat. One of the officers directed me to a diner where I could get a decent cup of coffee. It was nearby and I wouldn't need to drive around searching for a place to park. I thanked him, and once outside looked around to get my bearings.
I entered into the din of a diner that was crowded, warm, and friendly, a place where police officers, lawyers, laborers, and politicians stopped for meals. I found a stool at the counter near a fat French construction worker eating from a plate of spaghetti and eggs. I was surprised he got as much food in his mouth as he did, and that he didn't spill coffee on himself while slurping mouthfuls of the hot brew, considering he rarely took his eyes off the waitresses.
My waitress was a vivacious woman with skin black as coal and hair to match, which she wore in a bob. Her eyes of bright green and her sarcastic lip caught my eye and ear. Her uniform, and those of all the waitresses, consisted of a tiny white top and skirt with a hem seven inches above her knees. Over that they wore tiny pink aprons of lace and frills. My waitress did nothing to hide the fact she had small breasts, which she successfully made to bobble around behind the blouse in an exaggerated fashion. Seemed everyone liked the waitresses here, and it was obvious why. It was also why all the clientele were male. I felt very at ease as she juggled her customers while jiggling her boobies. She played us all for what we are, men.
I flipped the cup before me over onto its saucer, but didn't bother looking at the menu. I knew there would be little if anything I could eat. Soon, my waitress swung herself around to me, coffeepot in hand to pour the steaming brew.
"Cream, handsome? Bottled or made fresh," she asked. Her words came out in wet slurpy slurred sounds, sultry and warm, while popping her gum and smiling wickedly. I noticed her name tag. Her name was Cuddly.
"Thank you, Cuddly. Black," I responded, unable to decide where I should look. It was obvious she didn't care. She was both a subtle siren and blatant warning light I couldn't stay clear of.
