Mel got annoyed that he automatically assumed she was poor and needed money.

" Excuse you. I thought I made it clear that I'm okay with this work, thanks though " She said, eyes blazing in anger.

" Hey I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I just offered a convenient solution for you, that's all " and he looked really sorry. He had thought she was one of those girls interested in making big money.

" It's fine, I guess " Mel remembered their last meeting and the kiss. Her cheeks turned bright red and she put her hands on her lips involuntarily.

" Two beers to table six! " Someone yelled.

" Coming up! " Mel yelled back from the kitchen. She grabbed two beer from the refrigerator, placed them in a tray and went over to the table. She placed the drinks in front of the guys and turned to leave. One of the guys reached out and slapped her ass in the tight fitted skirt. Mel shook in anger. Turning, and not thinking twice about the aftermath of her action, she slapped him hard across his face. A few customers gasped behind them . Fuck, she had managed to get their attention, one of the things she hated.

" The hell?! " The guy managed to say as he massaged his red cheeks.

" What?! " The second guy looked stunned too.

Mel sighed, trying to calm her nerves. She had to get used to to this kind of thing because she'd surely see more of it everyday but heck, no way was she going to allow herself to be treated like a slut.
