Au (Gold)
Ruvin spotted beads of sweat forming on the waitress’ forehead.
He placed his hands on her shoulders.
‘‘Angeline? What’s the matter? You’re acting as if you’ve seen a ghost!’’
The young waitress tried to speak, but it was as if she had forgotten how to do it.
She slapped herself and said, ’’No, it’s much worse.
’’We have a customer who is waiting to be served.
‘‘He doesn’t seem to be a ghost or even human.’’
Ruvin gave a slight nod.
‘‘Erm...ok..Then let’s serve our guest. Come on, cheer up, Missy.’’
Ruvin walked away from the kitchen area to take a peek at their guest. Angeline was right. He looked more like a demon.
Well, I guess this would be an interesting challenge to take on.
What do demons like to eat? Do they enjoy meat, or maybe it would like to have a taste of mixed fried vegetables?
Ruvin took a deep breath. Time to head back into the kitchen!
He grabbed a metal pail & dumped a bunch of coal into the firepit grill.
Ruvin quickly arranged an assortment of meats on skewers and placed them on the grill.
He chopped some garlic & chuckled. This might do wonders and get the demon to choke— maybe a bit.
When he was done preparing the dishes, he hit the bell and moved the dishes onto the serving counter.
Angeline grabbed a silver tray and placed all the plates on it. She dashed to the client and slowly bowed her head.
The guest stared at the waitress and watched Angeline make a quick get away back to the kitchen.
All the food had a lovely aroma. The guest shook his head. Was that some garlic scent that he had picked up?
Hmm, now why would they think he would be bothered by it? Garlic was one of his favorite flavors to have when he dined on grilled meat.
Usually he had no time to add garlic when he had fast-food. And by fast-food, it was more like on the spot, ready-to-be-eaten kind of meal. Yum!
He slowly munched on all the assorted meats on the skewers~ he squinted his eyes, oh, that was an eye he had spotted as part of the dish. All right, not bad.
Angeline paced back and forth in the kitchen. She was glad that at least she was not on the menu.
Ruvin told her to just relax. All the pacing back & forth she was doing was making him feel woozy.
They heard the sound of snarling. What kind of guest was this?
When their guest had finished all the meals set before it, Angeline trembled as she dashed to take the plates away.
It smiled revealing its razor-sharp dog like teeth. Angeline gulped.
She smiled nervously at the guest and when she was about to ask how it would pay for the meal...she was left gazing at an empty seat.
A small pouch was left on the table. Angeline careefully opened it & took a look inside.
The coins glittered from inside the pouch.
‘‘Gold!’’ Ruvin heard the waitress exclaim.
