(fanfic) APH-Lovely maid Yao-chapter 8

Chapter 8

Yao was so cheerful, it was Monday and nobody he knew came since Thursday.

Ivan didn’t come back, as much as it surprised him. So maybe he was right; the Russian didn’t have the budget to come to this café daily, and especially not considering the amount of tip he gave him last time. It also really relieved him that he didn’t see Ivan stalking him to his home during the weekend.

Probably, his life could come back to be “ordinary” like it was before a certain American decided to open his big mouth.

Therefore, the Chinese couldn’t help but to think that today would be a splendid day. The weather was perfect and he finished school early. Plus, on Mondays, Nicolai was the one working instead of Mathias; so things were a lot more organised and calmer at the café.

 For some reason, when he was working with the serious Norwegian his work made more sense; which was the complete opposite of when Mathias is working…

“Yao, there is a customer. Can you go?” Nicolai asked with his usual monotone voice.

“Sure.”

The Asian was in such a sincere good mood, this day couldn’t be better...

“Hello, what can I serve you today?”Yao asked with a joyful tone to his customer, not actually paying attention to who it was.

“Hi, my little Yao-Yao!”

…Of course, his day could also certainly be worse…

“…”

The waiter looked at his client for a long moment and realised that it was indeed his stalker; the one and only Ivan Braginski.

“You seem really happy today ~” The blond remarked. He was really amazed that in a matter of a couple of days, Yao’s welcoming was much more warming comparing to the last time. Yao sure was a hard worker.

“AIYAA!! You again?!”

“Sure~ Did you thought I would forget about this splendid place so easily, da?” The other inquired with a big smile.

“But you didn’t even come these last days, aru!”

“Aww Yao-Yao counted the days I didn’t come?” Ivan asked, really interested to hear this.

“Aiyaa No!!” Yao protested, his cheeks starting to blush. Seriously, Ivan always had the weirdest believes when it came to him.

“Don’t worry, Yao, I just had a lot of stuff to do this week end. I will come to see you everyday~ It’s a promise~” The Russian chimed.

Oh, dear lord, no!! This was awful! Why such horrible things only happened to him?!

At this moment, Yao thought that nothing in the world could be as disastrous as Ivan coming here every day. So from now on, each day, he would have to endure this Russian who wouldn’t stop stare at him and force Yao to call him master every time.

Did the universe hate him for some reason?

 “So can my lovely maid bring me some coffee, da?”Ivan ordered, completely oblivious to his waiter’s alarmed expression.

However, while Yao was panicking and thinking that nothing could be worse than what he was going to suffer, he heard some other familiar and rather loud voices….

He slowly turned his head to realise…that indeed the universe really hated him!

“Hon Hon~ I think I am going to like this place~” A familiar French blond along with three other people, whom Yao certainly recognised, were at the café’s entrance.

“Ha ha ha! The stuff here is so girly!!!” The American said sheepishly, laughing and pointing at the decorations.

From the three students, the French seemed to be the only one who found this place quite interesting, unlike Alfred who didn’t stop laughing and Arthur who seemed perplexed and confused by all the decorations.

Crap!                                                                                    

“Ivan!! Why did you brought those idiots here?!” The waiter screamed at the tall blond.

“I did not Yao. I didn’t tell anyone about this place.”Ivan defended himself.  

“Really?”                        

“Yes. Why would I tell any of those idiots about coming here?”

Ivan sure wanted to keep this heaven for himself and only him. However, now he was actually thinking about having a little talk with those idiots who would probably bother his nice moment with Yao.

“Hey, Can we order here?!!!” The loud voice, that Yao recognised as Alfred’s, asked quite noisily.

“Aiyaa….”Yao complained. Nicolai was still cleaning the dishes, so he didn’t have any other choice but to serve them!

Slowly, the Asian walked toward his doom like if he was going to die.

“Hon hon, look! We have such a pretty waitress to serve us, we are so lucky!” Francis quickly said once he saw that their waiter was none other than their classmate.

“Hey, who are you calling a waitress aru?!!”Yao shouted angrily. Alas, he was quickly blinded because of the photo that Francis was taking of him.

“Aiyaa! No!!!” The Chinese tried to stop the other before Francis could continue to take photos of him. 

Unluckily, he couldn’t be sure if it worked or not, since his pervert classmate was giving him a sly grin. The last thing he wanted now was that people had evidences of him wearing a dress.

 Yao could only give a very murderous glare to the French, hoping that this wouldn’t happen again.

“What do you guys want?!”He finally asked quite rudely.  

“Wow, I do not think this is the way to greet a customer!”Alfred commented, thinking that the tone of their waiter sounded pretty rude.

“YOU!!!!”Yao snapped pointing the American. It was Alfred’s entire fault that all these embarrassing things were happening to him. He just wanted to punch this American right now. Unfortunately, he couldn’t since he was at work and there was that (stupid) rule which forbidden them to hurt the customers.

“You are very lucky that the only knifes we have are butter knifes or else you would have been in the hospital already aru!” The Chinese menaced the other, giving him a glare.

“Hey!”Alfred replied quite scared with this threat. Now, he was absolutely sure this wasn’t a way to treat costumers.

“Dude!!! You don’t know what kind of torture I went through with those guys! It’s their entire fault! They didn’t stop harassing me to know where the cheesecake came from!!” The American defended himself, accusing the two other blonds.

“Yes. We simply asked him where he got the cake. We are such horrible and cruel people.”Arthur explained sarcastically.

So this was why Alfred told them the secret?! This was really pathetic… Yao gave a last death stare to the American which the other answered with an uncomfortable and sheepish smile.

“You don’t need to act like this, mon ami~ We promise to not tell anyone else. We’ll even make sure that Al shuts his mouth.” Francis reassured the other.

This sentence calmed the Chinese a little.

“R-really?”

“Yes!” All the three blonds nodded, promising his classmate to keep this a secret.

“Did you think we were that awful?”

Actually…yes, this was what he originally thought. But, seeing that the three seemed quite serious, it somehow relieved Yao. Now, the Asian felt bad for overacting like this…However, he couldn’t help but to think it was way too easy and simple...

“Okay, now that this is settled, I have to say that….you didn’t present yourself! What is your name?”Francis inquired with a mischievous smile.

 “A good waiter presents himself!” Arthur remarked, seemingly joining Francis in his scheme to annoy Yao.

“Yes, you should tell us your name!!”Alfred added, thinking that this seemed pretty fun.

Yao knew it couldn’t be this easy! Even though, they promised to not tell anyone else about his job, they were still willing to embarrass him. 

“You all know what my name is aru!!”Yao snapped, frustrated by those annoying westerners.

“Hmm. Our waiter sure is moody.”

Yao let a huge sigh. He was actually in a very good mood before he met them…

“My name is Yao. I will be your waiter for today. May I take your order?”He finally said unenthusiastically.

“I’m going to take a coffee!!!” The American said loudly.

“I don’t know what to take, do you recommend something?” Francis asked still have a smirk.

“No, I don’t!” Yao replied bluntly, wanting to finish with this order soon.”And what do you want?!” He quickly asked to the last one, preventing Francis to speak again.

“I want a green tea with a cheesecake.”The British confirmed.

“I want a cheesecake too!!!”The American screamed rapidly. He almost forgot the only good reason he came here for; to eat the so delicious cheesecake. How could he forget such a thing?

“Your order will be there soon.”Yao sighed.

”Wait!”The American screamed again, before the waiter could go away.

“What?!” The other replied bitterly.

 “I am pretty sure that you should bring us a cake with candles, because I believe it is our birthday today!!”Alfred confirmed with the happiest expression ever.

“Hon hon hon!! That’s right, I believe it is!”Francis agreed giving the two other blonds a wink.

“Ha ha ha ha! And you should sing!”

“AIYAAA!! Today is not your birthday aru!! It is impossible that all you three have a birthday on the same day aru!!!” Yao completely didn’t know when their birthdays were, but he was absolutely sure it wasn’t today!

“Everything is possible in this world!”

“Come on less complaining, more serving!”

“Aiyaa!!!”

From far away, Ivan was observing quietly the scene. He only could hear screams, yells and complains, but there is one thing he could be sure of; Yao really didn’t seem happy.

Of course, Ivan was expecting that his crush wouldn’t be content about that, but he was relieved and glad that he was the only one, until now, who Yao served with a nice warming smile.
