They didn’t ever need the extra vegetables Jimmy Banquet Chef brought, not because they weren’t busy but because Bill did have it covered. And because he had it covered they ended up taking those extra vegetables back to the main kitchen. Still, better to be safe than sorry, and while they didn’t run out of any menu items, they were close to running out on more than a few entrees.
Clean up didn’t start until almost 1:00 AM. They worked straight though past midnight. Caesar didn’t cut it off until 12:30. Tired and sweaty and exhausted as well, they rested some after working what ended up as the final orders for the night. Jimmy sat in his seat, Bill stood leaning against the door to the walk-in, out of sight to customers. Both he and Jimmy G smoked a cigarette. Caesar would have ratted Bill out to the chef for smoking in the kitchen if Jimmy G hadn’t been smoking too.
The girls, all three of them, because it was late at night and they hadn’t eaten dinner, asked for and received hamburgers and fries. Bill, as he always did, made their plates pretty.
“Goddamn I’m tired,” Jo Ann said when she picked up her food. “I’ve never seen it like this. I mean we’ve been busy and have had busy nights. But I’ve never seen it like this.”
“Ya,” Jimmy G said. “That ad must have done something.”
“You’d think we were giving something away,” Jo Ann said.
“Maybe it’s the holiday season coming up on us,” Bill said.
“Maybe,” Jo Ann said. She shrugged her shoulders, took her food and went in the back by Kalista to eat.
Rosie and Edelgarde got their food when Jo Ann was back on the floor. They came up to the window together, both smiling, both happy, both looking to Bill as if they were tired.
“Good night?” Bill asked. He was messing with them, didn’t have to ask. He already knew.
“I’m sweaty everywhere,” Rosie said.
“Me too,” Edelgarde said. “Want to feel?”
“Definitely,” Bill said, “but not here and now.”
Edelgarde turned her bottom lip down in a mock pout. She leaned in and said, “My panties are soaked.”
“Mine too,” Bill said. “I’d let you feel, but, you know.”
“Oh, I’ll get that feel,” Edelgarde said. “Maybe not tonight, but I’ll get it.”
“Yeah,” Bill said. “I bet you will.”
Rosie and Edelgarde went to the back by Kalista to eat too. Jimmy G and Bill still rested. They were both tired and both getting up the energy to do the breakdown. They smoked another cigarette, relaxed with no orders to work.
“I’m gonna run to the head,” Bill said to Jimmy G when he’d finished his cigarette.
“Ya,” Jimmy G said.
Bill went out of the kitchen, past Kalista’s station and headed on down the ramp. Just before he got to the bottom, he heard, “Wait up” from behind. It was Edelgarde and she was scooting behind him to catch up.
When they were walking together, Edelgarde told him Kalista was making them more espresso. Then she said she really had to pee and she wanted to pee along with Bill.
Bill didn’t say anything. They walked quickly together and went to the faraway staff bathrooms where they’d been before. Once they were inside, first thing Edelgarde did was kiss Bill. She kissed him long and deep.
“I am so horny,” she said. She reached into Bill’s pants, felt his soaked underwear and more. “I see you are too,” she said. She took his hand and put it up her skirt. She wasn’t kidding. Her panties were soaked.
They both peed in the same stall, watched each other, laughed happily. At this point, it was already no big deal. When they were done, Edelgarde turned and faced the wall of the stall, leaned over and supported herself with her hands on the wall..
“Do me,” she said.
