Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

It's been weeks and North haven't seen that girl. Now to think of it, it's quite unfair since the girl knows his name but he doesn't know hers.

'Damn I've been going back n' forth to that ice cream shop..and I haven't seen her there. I can't think of any other places since she said she's homeless'

Fvck it...where are you...I have lots of question for you

Damn...but something is telling me that I should go back to that shop.

~~~~

"Good morning miss manager"

"oh, how come you're early?"

Well, yeah I came a bit early since i have lots of part-time jobs. And I don't have any proper rest and sleep. So all in all I'm a living zombie. Yes, what you're thinking is right, that's right. I need to earn a lot for my tuition fee, and then I need to find an apartment because yeah you know I have been wandering around it's kinda hard.

"Well..umm well you know I have lots of things I am busy at so yeah I'm a bit early"

"Oh, ok so you will be out early too?"

"Heh, yeah something like that"

I was supposed to wear my mascot when the manager told me that I will be no longer wear it. And it's much better if the costumers must see my face and then greet them with a smile.

'What's good with me being seen by people anyways..'

So the manager let me wear a very cute dress and guess it's color pink. The color I hate the most. Then a silver heels and a unicorn headband so it would fit the theme of the shop. Man, this is so childish.

And then I was greeting the people while giving flyers. I was promoting the shop, you know..to have lots of costumers and then I would be paid nicely so yeah it will be a good no?^°^

'Why does it felt like someone is staring at me? Nah nevermind its just my imagination'

"Hello ma'am and sir here we have some promo "

"Hello good day welcome"

"Thank you for coming here, please come back again"

It's kinda hassling because there are costumers who want to take a picture with me like what am I? A beautiful statue? wow. They even said I looked like a living doll, and I look so cute

Ayyy whatever it's maybe because of the dress that's why.

"Oh.. Amy are you ok in here? Do you want to rest a Lil bit?"

Most people call me amy, well I have been living with that name since then. I don't want anyone knowing my real name and identity. Well, maybe except for the kid. Although she just knows my name and it's kinda risky to tell her who I am.

"Well I'm ok there's nothing to worry about"

"Uhmm let's get inside the shop first"

There's something wrong with miss Manager? What's wrong?

"Do you see that guy outside?"

Then I looked at the direction she pointed. And I was shocked. Oh my gosh..is it North that I'm seeing????

"Ah, why? What's with him maam?"

"He's been here a few weeks ago. And became a regular customer. But then he never ordered anything. It's like he's been looking for something here or someone. And then I noticed him today, I thought he's gonna come back here at the shop but he was just there staring at you. Do you happen to know him? I'm kinda worried he might be a stalker or something"

Eh? Why didn't I notice him...

"Well...I knew him...."

"Is he your...."

"Ah...no just someone I know.."

"I think you're the one he's been looking for"

"Ah...that is I don't know...hehehe"

"You should go to him. He's been there the whole time. He might be tired now"

So I have no choice but to go outside the shop. So like he was standing in front of the bakeshop. THE WHOLE TIME.

When I got out I directly looked at him and he was shocked when I looked at him. Then I smiled.

~~~~~~

I've been here the whole time. Outside this bakeshop and she's there in front of me not too far.

'ah, so she's working there..'

She might have never noticed me since she's too busy facing costumers and people passing by. Well, it might be hard for her to stand the whole time. Her feet must hurt a lot. But she's still smiling, I wonder why? Girls are mostly the ones who whine a lot.

Then a few minutes there was a tall woman took her inside and then she came out thereafter.

She looked at me.

'oh crap, she saw me...what would I do should I pretend I didn't see her?'

She smiled at me and waved. Then she came over to me.

"Hey, you been here the whole time right?"

"Uh...well..uh...not really"

"Oh..what are you doing here in front of the bakeshop?"

"Well...I was actually...going to buy a loaf of bread when I saw you there.....so uhm...you are working in there?"

"Uhm..yep, of course, I need to make a living ahahaha"

"Do your feet hurt?"

"No why?"

"Are you sure?"

"I don't know...I don't feel any pain at all.. anyways why won't you come inside the shop?"

"Uh...ok?"

So we went together inside the shop and she gave me a seat. She went to the counter and came back bringing icecream.

"New flavor you might try. Mocha caramel with marshmallow"

"Uh..oh thanks.."

"My manager said you always come here to the shop and became a regular customer, is that right?"

"Uh me?? What? Regular customer? I come here but I didn't order anything..."

"Still you always come here, that's why you became a regular"

Oh? So her manager notices me too? I should be more careful next time...

"Uh..well yeah"

" What always brings you here?"

Should I just tell her? Maybe I should offer her something so she could agree right?

"Uhmm...I was uhh actually...wondering?...."

"Yeah?"

Damn...why are you being coward now North? Come on man!

"If it's ok with you, I could offer you something..."

"Huh? what offer? lol"

"I could offer you a proper housing..."

She was not shocked at what I said but then she smiled and answered me.

"You shouldn't be offering me that..you know?"

"But...but you said you are homeless?"

"Yes, I am..."

"But why?....."

"Because there are lots of people out there North that needs the housing more than I do...I guess you should help them..not me..."

"But why?. I mean shouldn't you think about yourself first before the others?"

"Heh...they're needy more than me..."

I'm confused...why is she like this?

"I should go back to work North...it's nice talking to you I hope you like our treat..."

She smiled and walked away.

I can't go on like this...she's...well what if...I'll do what she says? I'll give housing to those people who need help? I think I'll ask for some help with the count.
