Alexander
"I still don't understand why you won't accept my dinner invitation, Natalia," I ask, bringing up the subject again, after she refused a couple of times already. She shakes her head as she wipes the counters and I replace the cappuccino bag in the coffee machine. "I already told you, Alex… it's not the same! My family is down to earth and relaxed, yours is not. I'm just not ready. Besides, you just broke up with what's her face, and it's not like we are dating."
Someone enters the gas station and we both look at the entrance. "Be right there with you", Natalia shouts. I take the rag from her and finish wiping the counters. Natalia walks to the cash register and minutes later I hear her say "have a nice evening, sir!"
