I pick myself up and walk out of the cafe
Sign*" ok what do I do now ?"
All my life I've been working or finding a way
to improve the company, I- don't think I've ever had time to do what I want.."
I stand there in silence
"Yea ….no"
I walk back inside the cafe and sit where I originally once did
"Dang that quick ? I expected you to be back in a week or two " says Anthony jokingly
"Ha…yea I have no idea what to do" I say as I lean back on my chair
"What do you mean?" He asks
" I quite literally don't know what to do all I've known is work, eat , sleep and now I have all time of the world and I have no idea what to do with it."
Anthony comes up to my table " I'll tell you what , if you wait for me until 12 I'll gladly occupy that "time of the world" and make some use of it. You down ?"
I struggle with giving an answer, like I just met this guy and I don't really even know him or his intentions.. but then again what do I have to lose, maybe it will do me good of getting out of my comfort zone. But what if he steals everything I've got and then leaves me and then I really won't have any choice but to go to my dad. OK I'm overreacting ...…OK whatever.
"Ok , I don't mind waiting" I smile
He gives me a smile then continues to do his job.
*An hour passes *
After watching him work for an hour I can see that he really likes making people feel better and can surprisingly guess peoples favorite cake. I also noticed that he's very tender with people and he's very soft spoken as well.
I look down at my phone and see a notification . It's From Christopher I opened it and it said
" hey how was things with your father and the "urgent business" .
As i begin to type another text pops up
" hey I just heard you left the company is everything ok???"
I read while smiling
I type " yes I'm fine .. I- my dad is giving the company over to that kid so I decided to quit ." I send
" wow , I'm so sorry to hear that , do you need anything? Where are you ?I can pick you up after work." He replied
" I'm in this little cafe real close to the company but I'm ok no need to pick me up I'm -"
I stop typing
Should I really tell him that I'm hanging out with a stranger ? No it's better if I don't
I continue typing
" I'm fine I'm hanging out with a friend of mine At 12 " I send
" ok … text me if you need anything ok?"
"Ok" I reply then feel a light tap on my shoulder
"Hey it's 12 , you ready?" Anthony asks
I smile "sure" then proceed to turn off my phone
We walk towards the door then he walks in-front of me and opens the door
"Lady's first"
I smile " why ,thank you "
