Stolen Smile Returned, chapter 9

The Café
Toria Pov

"Ok thanks come again real soon," I said as a family from Scotland just left. I walked over to the sink to get a flannel. As I did Roxie came up as well getting change from the till.
"The family I just served were from Scotland. They're visiting. How awesome," I said as I picked a flannel up.
"Cool. British people. Anyway be right back I need to give these dick heads their change," Roxie said as she put on a brave face as she walked over. I laughed and went over to the table and picked up all of the glasses with one hand and washed the table with the other. I flipped the flannel onto my wrist and then walked over to the sink and put the glasses in the sink. I put the flannel back on top of the tap and looked around the café to see if anybody needed anything. It isn't that busy.
There were a young couple by the window who popped in for a milk shake and then there were the dick heads Roxie was looking after who were three men who kept on hitting on her, witch she hated because they were twice her age. Well tow of them were one was around his mid 30's.
Then there were a family who had just received their meal. So it wasn't as busy as usual. Witch was good because Stacy hadn't turned up yet. Witch is a bit weird but I suppose she has her reasons.
"If those two men come back in here shave my eyebrows off and tell them I'm your new per baby seal," Roxie said as she put the tip in the charity box and leaned against the counter.
"Ok I'll remember that. What about the other guy? There were three of them?" I asked looking at a piece of paper that was in her hand.
"He gave me his number. The other two guys forced him to give it to me so I took it," Roxie said then opening the piece of paper up.
But she can't. She likes Mike. What about Mike?!
"Cool, but, isn't there someone else... you want to... you know... meet up with?" I asked hinting towards Mike.
"The chances of me and Mike getting together are slim. Look I don't want to talk about it. Anyway, what about Tre. I can't tell he's been on your mind lately. Your happy" Roxie said putting a hand on her hip.
"I... well... what I think of Tre is none of your business. Well yeah I suppose it is cause you're my best friend but, still I, I don't know what to say so I am going to go and see if the couple over there want another milk shake," I said as I went over to the table leaving Roxie standing there.
I can't tell Roxie. I wont tell Roxie. Yet. It depends if she decides to go on the tour as well. I can't tell.

Tour Bus
Billie Pov

I wish Adie and the kids could come on the whole tour. Man, I miss them so much.
If I miss Adie and the kids this much, what do Tre and Mike feel like? Adie is right; I'll let them come to me when they're ready. Thinking about them all the time can't be healthy.
"Billie, Mike is sleeping in my bed." I looked back and saw Tre pointing at Mike sleeping... in his bed.
"Tre that is Mike's bed and don't talk too loud you might wake him," I whispered back.
"No I slept in it last time," Tre said as he pouted.
"Dude. You slept in Mike's bed last time," I said as I gave him a lazy look. Tre thought for a while and then smiled.
"Your right. Thanks Billie." Tre then skipped to the back of the bus.
"Ok someone is on the happy pills," I said to my self as I followed Tre.
Tre was at the back of the bus sitting down in one of the chairs. I sat opposite Tre as he started squirting some whipped cream on his hand and it started to tip to one side it was getting so big.
"Tre, where did the whipped cream come from?" I asked a little confused.
"I brought some along in case I got bored or extremely hungry," Tre said as he licked some of the top of the mountain before it toppled over. I laughed as I put my hand out as Tre gave me some whipped cream.
"Thanks," I said as I licked my hand.
"Have we got a show tonight or was it tomorrow because I remember we had to change this one didn't we?" Tre asked as he licked all of the whipped cream off and put it on the table.
"It's tomorrow night. We had to change it because there was this charity thing going on. I think it was about abusing children," I said trying to remember the phone call.
"Oh yeah that's right. We gave money for it and some signed stuff didn't we. Man, I could never abuse kids, that's wrong," Tre said obviously in deep thought.
Tre's moods can change so fast it's hard to keep up.
"I know what you mean. It's wrong. I could never imagine someone actually doing that to a child" I said as I kicked my shoes off.
"Man!! Your feet stink," Tre shouted as he waved his hands in front of him. I scowled at Tre as I shoved my feet in his face.
"The attack of the stinky feet," I shouted as I Tre started to squirm in his chair.
"Oh god not your feet," I heard someone say. I took my feet back and looked behind me and saw Mike standing there with extremely messy hair and with a t-shirt in his hand.
"They're not that bad... are they?" I asked a little worried.
"You'll be surprised," Tre said as his eyes were transfixed on Mike's hair.
Mike sat down next to Tre and put his t-shirt on.
"Had a nice sleep?" Tre asked.
"Great thanks," Mike answered as he looked at the whipped cream.
"You can have some mind," Tre said poking Mike. Mike smiled and squirted some on his hand. I then looked out the window as I began to think.
These guys have been with me through loads of shit. When my marriage almost went down the toilet, when I had to leave my kids for the first time. When Joey went missing... for a whole day. That was scary. So, I should try and help them, I mean. I don't want to make them go crazy about the thought of the girls and stuff it's just, what do I do?!! What can I do?
"Hey bill you ok?" Mike asked with a mouth full of whipped cream
"Yeah fine. Sorry thinking moment there," I said as I smiled at them both.
At that moment the screen of Mike's laptop flashed. Mike scrambled to his laptop as a huge grin came across his face as Tre held Mike back a little so he wasn't actually holding the laptop.
"The girls have answered back!" Mike shouted as he battled Tre to the laptop.
"Guys... I want to read it to!" I shouted as I ran in front of them to get to the laptop.

At The Café
Roxie Pov

"I've sent them our numbers ok. I've sent them our cell phone numbers and not our home number is that ok?" I asked as Toria came up to me.
"Cool. You're going to the pier now right?" Toria asked as she walked to the sink.
"Yeah. Well I'll leave when Stacy comes back," I said as I went to get my jacket.
"Wonder what she's been doing?" Toria asked with a funny look.
"Hey come on. I don't think they... you know. No... it's most probably a hangover. Toria keep your dirty thoughts to yourself," I said as I laughed and threw a flannel at her. Toria laughed and put the flannel in the sink. I turned the laptop off and turned to face the door.
I don't want to go to see my parents. I get all weird and have weird memories. And after seeing someone from my past when it happened I'll feel even weirder. My parent's death had a huge impact on my brother Chad and me. He went and lived with our grand parents after what happened and I went and lived on my own in a little flat. I haven't actually moved from that flat. Then Chad moves to Iraq and dad would have hated that because he hates all kinds of wars. I suppose he'd hate the government more than anyone I know. I don't want to see my parents!
"Roxie you ok?" Toira asked me as she sat down next to me.
"Fine. Great never better," I said as I smiled at Toria. Toria looked at me scared but just brushed it off. I smiled to my self as I glanced over at a pissed off looking woman.
"Toira... did that woman want something?" I asked.
"Shit, her coffee," Toria said as she ran to the coffee machine.
Where the hell is Stacy?
I kept on looking at the door thinking about what will happen from here onwards. I mean, I don't even know if I am going on the tour. I can't I know they, but I can't deny that I want to go. Roxie, you need serious help.
"Sorry I'm late" I then noticed Stacy walking to the counter.
"Hey where have you been?" Toria asked as she came back from the pissed off woman who was waiting for her coffee.
"Brian just wanted to talk with me for a second," Stacy said still smiling.
"Oh... what about may I ask?" I asked as I got off of the chair and stood next to Stacy.
"I cant tell you... oh tough poop yes I can. Well... we want to try for a baby." Stacy said in a hushed voice. I looked over at Toria as we both smiled at each other and then we both jumped on Stacy.
"Stop it guys!" Stacy hissed at us.
"We're going to be aunts... in a way," I said as I tickled Stacy. Stacy laughed as we then got off of her.
"So that's what you guys were talking about, the WHOLE morning?" Toria asked as she cleaned some dishes.
"Well no. Brian was thinking about going on holiday because we have enough money and then I said baby in a quiet voice but then he heard me, this was last night by the way, and then things led to one thing and another... ok we... you know..." Stacy said obviously hinting 'making love'. I nodded as Toria was dying to shout it out.
"No Toria don't be a good girl," I said as I patted her head. Toria laughed and then signalled Stacy to carry on.
"Yeah so then this morning we talked more when I realised I was late so he's taking me out after work tonight" Stacy said with a smile.
"So the baby will happen right?" I asked.
"Yeah... well I think it will and Brian did hint it last night in bed," Toria laughed and nodded.
"Knew you'd be the first to have a family," I nodded as well as Stacy blushed.
"Anyway Roxie bugger off and make my naked wall look well not naked and Toria clean more of them and I will serve that old man that looks like he thinks the sunshine beams out of his ass" Stacy said as she walked over to the man. I looked at Toria and laughed.
"Ok I'm off. I'm going home first though to get my camera and clean those dished woman," I said as I skipped out of the café as I heard Toria laugh.
"AND READ THAT E-MAIL!" I shouted before the door closed behind me.

Services 7/11 Kinda Thing
Tre Pov

"NACHOS!" I shouted as I ran to the other side and grabbed around 6 packets.
"Tre I don't think we'll need that... oh my god! Ice cream!" Mike started to tell me as ice ream distracted him. I could hear Billie laugh as he went and got coffee because knowing Mike; he'd forget or just get too tired to remember.
"Hey how about some beer so we can go straight on the bus and celebrate?" Billie asked me. I nodded my head as I went over to the counter to pay for the nachos.
"Hey Bill, don't get to many beers, we don't want to get wasted or anything" I said as I got my wallet out ready.
"Why? What do you mean?" Mike asked as he got out a tub of Ben and Jerry's.
"Well we can't play music hung over or regretting anything," I said stating the obvious.
"Sometimes Tre, you surprise me," Billie said as he got behind me in the line. I shrugged my shoulders and smiled.
"That's me," I said as I paid for my nachos. I heard Mike laugh as he joined the line as well.
"All your getting is ice cream?" Billie asked Mike.
"No and gum. And you have the coffee and Tre has the nachos" Mike said pointing at the things we had.
"Cool" I said as I grabbed the bag with the nachos.
"Wait for you guys on the bus" I said as I ran to the bus. I threw the nachos onto the chair as I then looked at the piece of paper we wrote the numbers on.
"Should I ring?" I shouted extremely loud as I breathed out through my nose. I sighed and then looked at the three numbers again.
"I... well... no... keep the secret E-mail going on and then see. TOIRA IS COMING ON TOUR!" I shouted as I jumped onto my bed and snuggled my face into the pillow.
She's coming. She said yes. Now all we need is for Roxie to say yes then Mike would be cool. I never thought we'd have girl problems at the age of 32. When I was 16 all I had to do was flirt act like a clown and stupid and girls fell for me. It was a gift, it's a gift, but Toria came and everything changed... she's coming on tour.
"Tre, you're in my bed," I heard Mike say as he moved some bags around.
"No I... yes I am," I said as I realised that Mike's things were on the bed.
"It's ok you can have that bed now I'll move my things off of the bed later" Mike said as he laughed a little. I shrugged my shoulder as I mumbled a thank you and before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

The Café
Stacy Pov

I gave these kids their plate of chips and I hate to say it but they weren't the skinniest if children, but they were a wonderful family.
"Thanks very much," The mother said as the kids stuffed their faces with fries.
"It's ok. If you need anything either ask for me or my friend Toria over there" I said as I then walked over to another table and took their order. On this table there were three men. Two of them looked pervy and another one looked kinda decent.
"Hey. My name is Stacy and I will be taking your order. What can I get for you?" I asked as I was prepared to take any stupid comments.
"Three Pepsi's please and, erm, do you know where those other two girls that work here are because this guy here gave them his number and we want to know witch one?" One of the men asked as the one I thought that was decent blushed.
"Well one of the girls is out and well was her name Toria?" I asked as I faced the guy that was blushing.
"No Roxie she said her name was," The guy said.
Roxie!
"Yeah she's out right now. Sorry. She's working tomorrow afternoon though," I said as I smiled and went to get their drinks.
As I pored the drinks Toria came up to me.
"They were here this morning. What did they want?" Toria asked poring some root beer into a glass.
"That guy gave his number to Roxie and well, it think he fancy's her... did she take the number?" I asked poring the last glass.
"Yeah she did. Right tomorrow night we are going to meet up and talk about everything that has happened that last couple of days" Toria said as she walked over to her table. I nodded my head and went back to the table with the three guys.
"Well, he might not have his girl today but, I'm sure I will," One of the guys said as he touched my hand as I gave him his drink.
"Sorry to burst your bubble but, I'm married so you might want to go and find another girl," I said as I walked away laughing. I got to the counter and sat down for a while, as there was nobody else to serve.
"It's not as busy today, witch is good really. I'm really tired," Toria said as she joined me with a hint of happiness around her.
"Your happy. Who are you teaching tonight?" I asked as I played around with my trousers.
"Scott. I just can't wait to tell him who I bumped into that's all," She said as she fidgeted a lot.
"Tre you mean? Hey they would get along kinda well really wouldn't they? Actually, ignore that, if they met there'd be havoc," I said as Toria laughed.
"Yeah I think they'd get along good as well," Toria said.
Wonder if Scott and Tre would ever get to meet? They better visit us again.
"Right I'm going to walk around and see if anybody needs anything," Toria said obviously getting bored sitting around.
"I'm going to go and do some banking work in the back room. Call me if you need any help ok," I said as I got up and opened the door to the back room.
I turned the light on and went to the drawer as I got out my calculator and some bills. I can't believe I learnt how to do math when we had calculators on the earth. I sat down on the table as I put my phone next to the calculator. As I was about to do some work my phone began to ring. I sighed and then picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Stacy. It's Brian"
"Oh hey! How are you?"
"Great thanks. I was just wondering. After your shift would you like to go to that new fancy restraunt? What's it called, Sammy's?"
"Yeah! I'd love to."
"See you soon then. Love you loads."
"Love you more."
"Bye"
"See ya," I said as I then hung up.

Life is looking great!
