Lingering ?

Could anyone tell which one of these sentences are grammatically correct

There was this waiter lingering at our table.

There was this waiter lingering around our table.

Thanks

"Lingering" is the wrong word. Maybe "hovering around" or a descriptive phrase saying exactly what his behavior was.
