Savi-
I watched the Saturday lunch hour people rush into our small diner. I felt tension in my shoulders again, rolling them to try and work out the kink. I sighed when Ben signaled me to work. It wasn't bad living in San Diego, I've lived here my entire life. Sunny all year round, beach within reach.
I recognized most of them, some being the usual customers. I was homeless, well at least till Mary and Ben found me. Living in foster care and bouncing from home to home was hard and then getting pregnant was even harder, not knowing what to do.
My baby's father was Eric Kane. Blonde, green eyes, he had those movie star looks. Those looks hid the kind of person he really was, I've seen that person. Being taken out of my memory.
"Whore", Amber coughed as I passed by her, she was Eric's new girlfriend.
I took a deep breath before moving over to take their order. She put up a hand to stop me.
"Before you talk, I would rather have Carly serve us", she said.
She made a gesture with her hands for me to leave.
"This is my table, so I have to work it", I said softly.
"Like you work your corner", she said.
Her friends laughed. Honestly, that wasn't even funny.
"Carly", she snapped her fingers.
I could tell Carly was pissed now. She walked over to us.
"I can do it Savi", she said.
"Thanks", I said to her.
Trying to get all the orders out on time with only two girls out front was hard. Our other waitress Lizzy, was supposed to come in an hour ago. Finally rushing in, she was tying her hair up into a ponytail.
"I know I know, don't give me that look Reyes", she said to me.
Carly and I glared at her till we couldn't see her anymore. Coming in without her uniform. We had to wear black shorts, not too short and a navy blue v neck with the diners name on it in pink letters. A pair of converse navy or black and knee high socks. It honestly looked like we were going to soccer practice.
"Mommy", came a sweet voice from the door.
A smile on my face now that lunch rush was slowing down. Seeing her bright face made me smile even bigger. Thank god Amber and her herd were gone by then. Ava had dark brown hair like me, thank god the only thing she got from her dad was his green eyes.
"Hi my sweet princess, I missed you", I said.
"Me too mommy", she wrapped her arms around my neck tight.
Turning my attention to Becky, who was at the entrance.
"Thank you so much for taking her Becky really, I owe you one", I said.
"It's no problem, Lacie was so happy to have Ava sleep over", Becky said.
Becky was another one of the waitresses who worked the night shift, but she had the night off yesterday. I took her shift to earn extra for Ava's 5th birthday. These girls were three or four years older than me.
Except for Mya who was Ben and Mary's eighteen year old daughter. Susie, the last waitress was Ben and Mary's soon to be daughter in law. She had a son named Mason, around Ava's age.
"Bye Ava", another sweet little voice said.
Ava turned in the direction and waved to Becky's little girl.
"Bye Lacie", she said.
They waved goodbye. I placed Ava in a booth by the cash register, closest to where I can see and get to her faster.
"Are you hungry babe?", I asked.
"I'm starving, blueberry pancakes please", she said.
"Yes ma'am", I nodded.
She giggled. Even though it was lunch time, Ava always ate blueberry pancakes when she came in. Taking out her coloring book and her Shield action figures, standing them up side by side.
"Let me guess, blueberry pancakes", Lance said.
I nodded. Lance was Becky's husband. He was one of the cooks, alongside Ben, the owner and his son Charlie, Susie's fiancé. Finally hitting 6:30pm it was time to go. taking Ava's hand.
We went to catch the bus, seeing as I couldn't afford a car not even a beat up old one. I mean I could, but that would mean giving up my safe apartment along with Ava's school she'll attend after Summer was over. The bus stopped three blocks from our apartment.
"Mommy", she sounded scared.
"What's wrong baby?", I asked.
I kneeled beside her.
"Roman is missing mommy", she said panicked.
She was going through her bag. Tears forming in her eyes.
I didn't understand till I realized she was talking about her Roman Reigns action figure. Boy did she love them. We watched Raw every Monday night. Then SmackDown on Fridays. I use to watch it when I was younger but stopped, till one day Ava was flipping through channels, hearing the Shield theme song she stopped on it and fell in love with wrestling. Well more like she fell in love with the Shield.
"What if he's scared? He can't find me mama", tears falling from her eyes.
"Ok, let's go inside and look in your bag better and if he's not there I'll call Mrs. Mary and ask her if Roman is there deal", I said.
She nodded pouting. We went inside and she emptied her bag quickly. Picking up Seth and Dean, hugging them close.
"He's not here, he's not here", she was panicking.
"Ok baby I'll call", I said.
She sat at the kitchen table. While I picked up the phone. It rung three times before someone picked up.
"Benji's Diner", I heard Susie say.
"Susie it's Savi. Hey by chance did Ava leave her Roman Reigns doll there?", I asked.
"Yes, Mason found it on the floor and knowing it was Ava's he put it behind the counter. Tell her he's safe and sound", she said.
I smiled, they knew how much she loved those dolls but they didn't know why she loved them so much. Making me cringe just thinking about it.
"Thank you so much, bye", I said.
I looked over at her. She was pouting and holding the other two close to her.
"Good news, Reigns is safe. Mase found him and put him away for you", I said.
She relaxed, laying the other two on the kitchen table. Swiping her arm across her forehead.
"That was close mommy", she said.
"It was, I thought we lost him there for a second", I said, playing along.
"Me too", she said.
I couldn't help but laugh. She did too, but I'm not sure she knew why.
Seth-
Sitting on the plane waiting to take off, Dean took his seat by the window and Roman on the other side of me. San Diego was our next Raw episode.
"Who are we up against this time?", I asked Roman.
"Um, Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, and Sheamus", he answered.
"We got that match locked down boys", Dean said smirking.
I laughed.
Waking up in San Diego wasn't bad, the view of the ocean from my window was amazing. Pounding on the door took me away from the view. Answering it to see Dean standing there dressed to go.
"Come on fucker, we're hitting breakfast", he said.
"Let me get dressed", I said.
I went over to my suitcase and took out some jeans and a black t-shirt. Roman and Dean were waiting in the living room.
"So where are we going?", I asked.
"The guy at the front desk said Benji's diner has really good breakfast, a lot of food", Roman said.
"Sounds good to me", Dean said.
Savi-
Getting to the diner on time to open was my job. Lizzy was waiting.
"Sorry, bus was late", I said, tying my hair up.
"Why didn't you just call me Savi? I could have picked you up", she said.
"No, the bus was fine", I said.
"Where's my munchkin?", she asked.
"She is coming, Becky called if she could pick up Ava. Lacie wanted another sleep over", I said.
"I can't wait till I have kids, I hope mine are as cute as yours", Lizzy said.
"Morning ladies", Ben said, taking his hat off and hanging it on the hooks in the back room.
"Morning Ben", I said.
"I thought Mya was coming in today?", Lizzy asked.
"Oh no, Carly asked for shift change, so Carly should be coming in", Ben said, turning on the stove.
"I'm here, sorry, traffic was so bad", Carly said, while putting her hair in a ponytail.
I saw Becky's car out front. She was coming in with Lance. Lacie and Ava coming in behind them talking. They went to sit at the table we always sat them in. Lance kissed Becky and went to the kitchen to help Ben.
"Now I get to go home and sleep. Oh shoot I forgot, Lacie you can't stay you have a doctor's appointment", she said.
"Aw mommy", Lacie whined.
"I know I'm sorry. Savi if you want I can take Ava with us", she said.
"No it's ok. I don't think we're going to be busy today anyway, with the football game and then WWE is in town so fans are going to be stalking them like crazy", I said.
Speaking of WWE, the door chimes made noise, causing us to look over. Lizzy and Carly came out front. Our mouths dropped open at the three sexy men standing in the door way. Becky coughed and then nudged me.
"They do come in life sizes", Becky mumbled.
Not understanding, I shrugged my shoulders. I knew them from somewhere. I wanted to ask her who they were, but one of the men cut me off.
"Hi, do we sit or do you sit us?", the big one asked in a deep, but very sexy voice that made you melt and your knees quake.
"Sit anywhere fellas", Ben answered.
That woke us up, not knowing what to do. They sat in my section. I heard Lizzy and Carly groan.
"Good luck, lets go Lacie", Becky said.
Becky walked out with Lacie trailing behind her.
"Bye Savi", the little girl's voice rang.
"Bye sweetheart", I said, before I approached the men.
They were looking at the menu.
"Good morning gentlemen, I'm Savannah or Savi which ever you prefer to use. I'll be your waitress, can I start you off with some drinks?", I said.
The guy with the weird hair, smiled at me.
"Oh, I'll have an orange juice", weird hair guy said.
"I'll take a coke", the blonde said.
"Same as him", the big one pointed at the blonde.
I nodded.
"I'll give you guys a minute to look over the menu, I'll be back with your drinks", I said.
I smiled at them, walking back into the kitchen. Ava had moved into the back room. Her dolls. That's who they were, life sized versions of her dolls. I went over to Carly and Lizzy who were helping pour the drinks. Telling them who those men were. Before going back over to them, we watched them.
"They are so fucking hot", Lizzy said loud.
They turned to look at us, smiling. I rushed over with my drinks. Setting them down. They cleared their throats. I finally got the courage to look at them.
"If you and your friends are done checking us out, we would like to order", said the blonde guy.
He didn't say it in a rude way, he was trying to let me know they heard us. I took out my pad, writing down their orders.
"If you guys need anything let me know", I said.
"How about a lap dance doll?", the blonde asked with a smirk.
"I don't doubt she'll do it, she's a slut. She'll do anything", came a voice.
Turning to see Amber and her herd come in. She smirked at me. The blonde guy looked from me to Amber.
"Excuse me", I said softly and embarrassed.
I continued to head back, placing the order on the wheel where Ben could get it. Not letting Amber get to me. I went to find Ava.
"Ava", I called.
She looked over at me. I called her over. She came and looked up at me and I turned her to look out front. Her eyes lit up and she was jumping up and down.
"It's the Shield mommy", she said.
"I know baby", I smiled at the happiness on my kid's face.
She went to get her backpack, running to the table behind the Shield. The big guy smiled at Ava as she peeked over the booth seat over the weird hair guys shoulder. He gave her a small wave, which caused her to sink down. The girls along with Ben and Lance laughed softly.
