Skipper's POV
I hummed as I cleaned a table then heard the bell ring. Our first customer. I looked up and met blue eyes. I blushed and looked down.

"Table for one, please." he said and I slowly looked back up meeting his gaze.

"Co-Coming right up sir." I said and Traci laughed as I blushed.

"Um will this table be good?" I asked leading him to one near the door he just came in from.

"Uh huh." he said sitting down.

"I'll get you a waitress." I said about to run off but he caught my arm.

"I want you to be my waiter." he said and I blushed.

"O-Okay." I said and got s notepad out with a pen. "So how can I help you?" I asked and he opened his mouth about to speak but Janet and Diego came running over.

"So sorry Skip, I'm here to do my job now." Janet said and I sighed in a bit of disappointment.

"Also Skip I need help with the dishes." Diego said and I huffed nodding.

As I followed Diego to the kitchen I took one last glance at Traci and waved at him, but of course he didn't see. I turned up my nose at the food left on plates and scrubbed hard. Diego was cooking and Trin was also a waitress, but where's Ivan? 

"No people on the beach yet." Ivan said coming into the kitchen.

Well speak of the devil.

"Tables on the beach clean just in case?" Diego asked and Ivan simply shrugged.

"That's Skipper's job, not mine." Ivan said and I pouted.

"We're all in this together." Diego said walking up to Ivan with plates of food in his hands.

"Hate high school musical." Ivan snorted and walked past Diego to the sink then helped me wash dishes.

Diego sighed and left the kitchen. I glanced at Ivan as he seemed focused. I didn't like all this awkward silence. 

"Do you not like Diego?" I asked the damn wrong question to stop the silence and start a conversation.

"Eh, people are people." Ivan said drying a plate off. "I don't drool over guys like you do." he said and I huffed cleaning a cup.

"Well sorry I'm gay." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"You being gay has nothing to do with it." he said and I frowned.

"Is something wrong?" I asked and all hell broke loose, literally.

"No! I'm fine." he said and dropped a plate.

The plate shattered into pieces. I frowned bending down about to pick it up.

"Stop, I got it." Ivan said grumbling and started picking up the pieces but cut himself. I saw him grimace and curse under his breath but tried his best to ignore the bleeding and probably the pain.

"What's going on in here?" Diego asked coming in here then he saw Ivan and sighed walking over.

Diego forced Ivan to put the glass down. Diego made Ivan was his cut before Diego got the first aid kit out,

"It's my fault....sorry." I said as Ivan grumbled while Diego put a band aid on Ivan's finger.

"It's nobody's fault." Diego said getting a broom and swept up the glass before throwing it away.

When Diego left Ivan sighed glancing at me. "I want to go home." he said looking down.

Oh, I see. Ivan's homesick, now to think about it he probably misses his dog. And well Ivan is just the kind of person who likes to be in his comfort zone, but who doesn't?

****

After some hard hours of cleaning I had my break. I didn't have to start cleaning again until we we're closed. I decided to spend some time on the beach. Nobody was really on the beach surprisingly. Maybe a few people and kids here and there. I hummed and as I walked, I got a bit more closer to the ocean. I glanced at the it flowing and kids playing in it. I shivered and looked away from the ocean. So beautiful, yet so scary.

"Skip." a voice said and I screamed falling on my but into the water but still on land though.

"Sorry." sir green eyes said laughing and I pouted as he helped me up.

"Well thanks for making me mess up my uniform." I said huffing.

"Sorry about that." he said rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh, but I was hoping I'd find you here to talk about my plan." he said and I nodded.

I told him we could go to my room. After passing hungry customers and getting up the stairs we finally made it to my room. Okay, Ivan's and my room.

"Nice place." he said sarcastically and I waved him off slumping down on my bed.

"So what's this plan you speak of?" I asked and he rolled his eyes smiling.

"Well first, you can start out with telling me your gonna have a visitor." Ivan said coming into the room and I blushed huffing.

"Sorry." I said and Ivan rolled his eyes then went over to his bed and sat down on it.

"So what is this plan? I'm a bit curious myself." he said and my friend laughed.

"Well first, Skipper your gonna have to make a move." he said.

"Me?" I said.

"Him? All the words that'll leave his mouth is probably humba humba" Ivan snorted and I glared at him. 

"Not true." I said pouting and crossed my arms.

"Oh yeah?" Ivan said then turned to my friend. "What he say the first time you guys met?" he asked.

"Humba Humba." my friend said laughing as I blushed huffing.

"My point." Ivan said and I rolled my eyes.

"So anyway, how do I make the first move? What do I say?" I asked and Ivan shrugged.

No help from him, as usual. 

"Just be yourself and say hey and maybe something about like a walk on the beach." my friend said.

"Yeah, the clishe' crap." Ivan said and I grumbled.

"It's not that easy." I said.

"Well practice dummy." Ivan said pointing his head over to my friend's direction.and I blushed swallowing hard.

"He-Hey." I said and my friend's eyes widen.

"Fail. Don't stutter be confident." Ivan said and I huffed.

"Hey." I said trying to smile but it was a shakey one.

"Fail." Ivan said.

"Shut up." I said glaring at him then looked back at my friend who was biting his lip and I blushed.

Ugh, he's probably laughing inside too.

"Hey, um do you wanna....go..go to the um beach?" I asked and my friend smiled softly opening his mouth to respond.

"Okay, let your friend try it. go." Ivan said and my friend blushed then looked at me gulping.

"Skipper I was wondering if you want to go to the beach, you know for like a little walk around the shore." my friend said smiling at the end and I blushed nodding.

"And that's how it's done." Ivan said and I crossed my arms.

"Why don't you try it then." I said.

"Okay." Ivan said hopping up his bed and we followed him out the room, down the stairs.

"Trin." Ivan said when we walked into the kitchen and she was washing dishes.

"What Ivan, can't you see I'm-" Trin started to say.

"I was just wondering if after your shift you wanted to eat lunch together on the beach?" he asked and my eyes widen.

What? Ivan likes Trin? Mind blown, and he is a pro.

"No." Trin answered flatly and Ivan turned to us smirking.

"See, got rejected but still cool." Ivan said and my friend laughed while I rolled my eyes.

"That's because you asked someone you don't like." my friend said and I nodded then my eyes widen.

"Wait a minu-" I started to say turning to my friend but Diego came in telling my friend only workers allowed in the kitchen and that he needed me to be a waiter for a bit while he cooked.

>> <<

"So yeah, I have to ask Traci to go somewhere tomorrow or Ivan says he'll call me a chicken for the rest of my life." I said huffing as Ivan laughed. "Evil I tell you." I said couldn't help the smile that came onto my face. "I have a new friend, work isn't too bad I guess." I said scratching my head. "I feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh well, also sorry today's entry is a bit short. Well, Skipper signing off." I said saluting and stopped recording.
