Morning Tea Service

Scott and I cleaned away the breakfast service and closed the food area for thirty minutes while we got the morning tea service ready. I did a little tally and noticed that we had gone through about fifty loaves of bread and fifteen boxes of cereal, and the coffee also went out the door. We had a coffee machine where you pressed buttons and just like magic, your coffee is poured out. ‘Not the kind of coffee these well-paid actors and actresses were used to,’ I thought. ‘But it was coffee nonetheless, so they got their caffeine fix. I bet everyone is looking forward to an actual hot breakfast tomorrow.’

Scott announced, “Well, that’s breakfast done, are you ready for round two?”

I replied, without thinking, “Oh Scott, I’m always ready for round two.” Yet again I just went with it after I realised what I had said. Scott turned a shade of red, but did well to just go with it too.

“Well then let’s open up again.”

We had mini quiches, sausage rolls, and more scones with jam and cream for morning tea. The sight of so much food was starting to make me feel a bit ill. I just continued drinking the coffee.

“Free coffee always and forever,” I said to Scott as I lifted my cup in a ‘cheers’ motion and took a big sip from it. Mmmmmm, perfect.

“Oh, so you have found a place on ground level where you can get free drinks now, have you?” Scott laughed.

“Sure have. My shout, can I get you a coffee Scott?”

“Yeah, why not?” he said.

More people started to pile in, mostly the people that had missed out on the breakfast service. I saw two familiar faces appear, making their way up through the line. Was it? Could it be? Yes, it was! It was two more of the main stars. Oh my God! I had totally forgotten about the other actors, actresses and characters I would see on set, all my focus had been on my idol. I was standing behind the table just in case people needed help, or needed to order the special dietary requirement foods that were put away separately out the back.

They were now standing right in front of me, “So you must be Letticia,” one of the actresses said. I looked down to see if I was wearing a name badge; I hadn’t remembered putting one on but that didn’t mean I wasn’t wearing one. These things can slip the mind of an unfocused person such as myself. Nope, no name badge.

“Yes, that is me,” I said. “But how did you know my name?”

“Oh, another co-star said to me once he came back on set, ‘Finally, it only took four seasons to get a catering company with a bit of flair, and life and fun in them.’ He said, ‘Letticia is great, a real person, and there are actual places to sit and eat your food. Go check it out for morning tea.’”

“Really? He said that?”

“He sure did.
