"Order up for table 3!"

Alina

Good afternoon, my name is Alina, and i will be your waitress for this afternoon!

customers 1

"Order up for table 7!"

customer 2

"Waitress needed on table 5!"

That was just a taste of rush hour at Ladurée's, one of the most popular cafés in New York City.

Given that it was summer vacation, the place was packed with families, and teenagers looking to get a quick bite to eat

Working long shifts at Ladurée's didn't seem long at all in summer.

Ladurée's keeps up a pretty stable group of lower- and middle-class customers, and every once in a blue moon, a celebrity would pop in, but nothing too eventful. It was always the same old nine to five.

Alina

Hey Harry, how's the old man in you doing today?

Alina greeted one of the veterans with a smile

harry

Same old Ana

Harry chuckled

Alina

Let me guess, you'll have the usual?

alina replied with a slight chukle

harry

Did you even have to ask?

Then with one last smile, alina turned to go place in his order.

Alina standing at the cashier, when five gentlemen made their way into the café, and everything went quiet

Sam, our manager, noticed the change in atmosphere, and looked up to see what was happening.

The gentlemen, walked straight for a table, the furthest from the crowd, and sat down without a word.

Alina

Weirdos

Alina looked over at the gentlemen, and her eyes were instantly met with two pairs of dark blue eyes, and the minute their eyes met Alina looked away.

Alina placed in Harry's order, just as Sam made his way over to the gentlemen.

Alina moved around the café, cleaning tables, and taking orders, the men only ordered drinks, they spoke quietly among themselves for a while, then got up and left, leaving a hundred dollar bill to cover their expenses.

The minute they walked out the door, the lively aura returned.

And soon enough, those strange gentlemen were forgotten.

Time galloped away, and eventually, Lisa and I were walking out of Ladurée's
