He sits on the far side of the restaurant, his ball cap down. He watches her refill his coffee, grab him some ketchup, and bring extra napkins for the burger stain on the table. He smiles with his cobalt blue eyes never his mouth, letting her know he will protect her from any fool who threatens her.
His presence there in the restaurant casts a comforting haze over her time as a waitress, though she remains curious about the origins of these feelings. Why does she feel, when she closes out her section at the end of the day, so safe?
Then she looks up and spots his titanic shoulders and perfect butt leaning against the window on the rainy street outside, the neon sign filtering his navy blue shirt into a purplish orange. Then when she's ready to leave and the lights in the place are off for good, the gangster alpha male gets on his bike and rides off into the night.
