Waiter from Nowhere

After the government approved that other species can walk on the Earth. Post all over the world. "They are friendly", "I met them and they can communicate", "They're beautiful". Some of them have negative comments about it.

"They're gonna eat us", "They will invade Earth someday", "They're just friendly from the outside but on the inside they want us to perish", "Just remember the Dooms Day".

"These negative comments are insane" I said to myself. I'm on my break time just reading this article.

After I finished my break it was Sunday. After the news there are a lot of people who are scared to go outside of their home. Because you know some humans are scared of what they don't know or explain how.

"Where are they from?" "What is their origin?" That's the majority of trending questions on the internet.

But for me, my colleagues and for the owner of the restaurant. Nothing's changed. Because we need money for our daily living.

It's Sunday and it's 7pm one hour before closing, there's no customer at that time. I'm cleaning the store.

Wiping the tables, arranging the chairs, cleaning our coffee machine, taking the trash, ready some utensils for morning shifts, swiping the floor, mopping the floor.

It's 7:30, I'm done with our pre-close. By the way our front door has a bell on it to notify us that we have guests.

The bell rings and I went to the counter and I was shocked, seeing this 6 foot tall wolf-man looking and smiling at me.

My coworkers who were also doing their pre-close that time went to the counter and also shocked on the encounter of another species.

"Are you still open?" the wolf-man said. My shift leader replied in a nervous tone "Si-Sir, we're sorry but we're..." I interrupted and said "Yes sir we're still open, have a seat I'll bring the menu to your table".

After that the wolfman sat and looked up the menu. My shift leader is furious at me not just the shift leader but the whole crew that time. I said "I'm really sorry" and they said that they're going home right now.

And my colleagues went home one after another. They use the backdoor so they don't encounter the wolfman. I humbly ask our head chef to stay and I will give him a tip for his extra time.

Our head chef's name is JM. He is a close friend of mine. He agrees to what I'm asking and waits for the order of the wolfman.

I went to the wolfman and said to him "Hi sir good evening, What's your order?". The wolfman said with a smile on his face "I want your house special and three steaks".

After I took the order I went to the kitchen to give it to JM and he cooked it. I went outside to talk to the wolfman

"Hi sir by the way my name is Jay" with a smile on my face. He replied "Oh Jay what a coincidence my name is Jacob". "This is your first time here and you're fluent in our language" I replied. "Yes and thanks to the humans who teach us for five years patiently haha" he replied. And I laugh too.

After talking for about 30 minutes. The bell in the kitchen rings. It means that the food is ready. I went quickly to the kitchen, grabbed the food, grabbed some water to drink and served it to Jacob.

Jacob eats less than 5 minutes and he chews the food and after he finishes he said "It was the best human food I ever had". I replied "Why sir? The humans that come to your home land can't cook?". "They can cook but this is unreal plus your service feels like I'm one of you thank you for the service Jay"

I replied with a big smile on my face "It's a pleasure to meet you and serve you sir." "Even though your colleagues are mad at you, you gave an opportunity to taste this magnificent meal. Thank you again Jay" he replied and left a very huge amount of human money.

"Sir this is over too much, this amount is like I can go to other countries in the world" I said. He laughed and smiled and said "Is that so? I think you deserve a way better than that. Keep it Jay see you next time." And he went outside happily.

But for me I'm in shock. And JM went outside to see what happened and he was shocked too. A huge pile of money sitting on the table. JM asked "What is that? Who owns it" with a shock tone on his voice. "I think it's my tip, he left it and said I deserve it."

There's silence in the air. After two minutes we are back to reality and I said to JM and we should count it and split it. JM agreed. So we count the money. After almost 10 minutes counting the money. The total is one million pesos.

Me and JM almost fainted when we saw the total amount of the money. We decided to split it and keep it secret to the others. And we go home separated ways with mixed emotion. Happy, paranoid, confused, excited. And the next day.
