Arian rubbed the back of her neck and sighed as she pulled her truck into Merlottes parking lot. She shifted it into park and reached across the seat to grab her purse before nudging the door open. The hinges creaked and groaned a little, nothing that a little WD-40 couldn't take care of. As she crossed the lot she gathered her hair up and quickly tied a band around it. The place was busy tonight already, lots of cars in the lot. But then again, there really wasn't much to do in Bon Temps.
Opening the door she crossed the dining area and walked past the pool tables. She gave a nod and smile to Terry who waved at her with the spatula as she headed to the back room to put her purse in Sam's office. Once she had it tucked away she grabbed and apron and pulled it on, tying it around the back. Generally she worked the day shifts, preferring not to be there at night due to the occasional vampire that decided to grace them with their presence. Jessica didn't bother her too much, but still she wasn't stupid enough to trust her completely. A vampire was a vampire and they all had one common urge. No matter how good a friend you were to one, they got hungry enough they'd eat. Only problem was, there was only one thing on their menu.
She tucked some straws in her apron, a pad for her orders and headed out to her tables. There was a sweet as sugar smile on her face as she leaned against one table, writing down their order. It wasn't often there were strangers at Merlottes. Sure they had the traveling truckers and people that were just passing through, but it was never consistent.
Finishing up that order she went right over to the bar and dropped off their drink order before putting Terry's order tab up so he could get their food going. Someone played a Johnny Cash tune on the jukebox, Hoyt was playing a round of pool with one of the guys from the crew. It was the usual around there. For the next few hours everything went the norm. Couple people were asked to leave for drinking a little too much. Few others were finding someone to take home for the night and so far no vamps. Seemed that everything was going to go just fine.
A couple of her tables cleared and she went to go clean them up and get them ready for the next batch that would come in. As she scrubbed down the table she glanced at the door. At that moment someone walked in, and she hadn't seen them before. She tilted her head and tried not to look at the guy obviously. But she couldn't help but wonder if things were gonna stay quiet tonight with a stranger in their midst.
