Exchanging laughs back and forth, Dustynn was happy she had decided to take Leo up on his last minute offer. It was clear too that she wasn't being fired, unless this was a long con in the running.
"I CAN blame you, and I will!" she giggled, as the two began to dig into their hearty breakfast meal. Leo made a comment about the vibes of The Coffee Pot, and Dusty couldn't agree more. Her mother had moved her to Sol when she was just a baby, so it was all she really ever knew, Southside born and raised.
"Can't complain. Cheap, fast, and delicious!" she smiled, taking a large bite of her breakfast sandwich. Some of the grease dripping down her slender fingers.
Reaching to the center of the table, she pulled a few napkins from the center console that also contained condiments and extra silverware. She wiped her hands as she crumbled the napkin into a ball and placed it on the table next to her plate. Looking up to Leo after he asked his question, her eyebrows raised, expressive and joyful.
"I think I'd fancy that for sure." she teased playfully, using his vocabulary against him. She didn't notice his nerves, oblivious to the difficulty for him on asking the question. She rolled her eyes as he mentioned the sugar cubes, her tongue sticking out slightly at him before she picked up her sandwich and took another large bite.
Delicious.As the waitress came over again, she asked if the two were enjoying her meal. With a mouthful of sandwich Dustynn just gave the worker a thumbs up. She quickly swallowed down her meal, before speaking;
"Can I get one of these sandwiches to go?" the waitress nodded, heading back to the kitchen to put in the order. Dustynn spoke to Leo afterwards,
"I'm going to bring this home to my mom before heading to work." she mentioned, referring to the extra sandwich order.
Dustynn never mentioned her home life to her coworkers and friends. Ever since her father had dropped off the face of the earth her mother had gone into a spiral of emotional and physical abuse against herself. Kimberly (Dustynn's mother) turned to drugs and alcohol using the quick highs and lows as coping crutches. All money that Dusty earned at Club Aether went to keeping their trailer roof over their heads as well as keeping the shady people that Kimberly dealt with constantly at bay. Dusty desperately wanted to find her own place, even if it wasn't nice- to not have to sleep on the couch anymore would be an upgrade. In all reality she probably could afford the move, but she would never hear from her mother again, and she wasn't sure if she could do something like that quite yet.
The waitress came back and placed the extra sandwich on the table in a bright white styrofoam box.
"Thanks for stopping in you two! Come in again real soon." she said, placing a single bill down in the center of the table.
"Shit, we can have them split it real quick. Let me get her back here." Dusty mentioned as she tried to wave down the waitress to come back and take care of the bill.
