The Waitress
Benny and Dylan had been running around
all day. It had been hot. They were unshaved, and
wearing shorts, T-shirts, and flip-flops. At about 6
p.m., they felt like eating something. They were
on south Lake, which had several restaurants.
Dylan suggested that they go to the Mediterranean
restaurant. “The food is good and there’s lots of
it,” he told Benny. It was refreshingly cool inside
the restaurant. They were seated at a table near the
front door.
Their waitress was a young, pretty blonde.
Benny hit on her immediately. “Could I have you
for dessert?” he asked, with a big grin on his face.
She smiled, but said nothing. Benny told her that
he was a famous heart surgeon, and if she didn’t
give him her phone number, he would have to
operate on his own broken heart. She smiled
again. When she asked Benny and Dylan if they
wanted appetizers, they both realized that English
was her second language.

Benny asked her where she was from. She
said she was from Russia. Benny told her that her
English was very good. She thanked him. They
had a delicious meal, and Chet left the waitress a
big tip. She thanked him, but she still refused to
give him her phone number. “I have husband,”
she explained. “Yes, and he’s the luckiest man on
Earth,” Benny told her. She smiled.
Outside the restaurant, Benny kidded
Dylan. “You didn’t say a word in there to her.
How do you expect to get anywhere with women
if you don’t talk to them?” “I didn’t want to spoil
your chances,” Dylan smiled.
Two months later, Dylan was substitute
teaching for a US Citizenship class. When the
class ended, one student lingered. It was the
blonde waitress from the restaurant. She talked to
him for about five minutes about George
Washington. Sensing that she had something else
on her mind, Dylan asked her to join him for a cup
of coffee. She said she would love to.
