Tony's Soulmate- "le anime gemelle si trovano sempre"

Chapter 2

Since Benji has a degree in Architecture and I have a degree in Design, we concluded  that getting a job should be our first priority now, we started to apply for jobs everywhere possible.

And a week later Benji got an offer from a multinational industrial company and he insisted that I should apply there too. Being the devoted and best friend that I am I told Benji to give my bio data in the same company.

Today, Benji is going for his interview and I am working at the coffee shop. A young couple came in and ordered an Espresso and a Café au Lait. I made the coffees and walked to the table to serve them and went behind the coffee maker when the news on the T.V. shows Tony Stark being interviewed by the press.

Hmm....Have I heard that name before?

I think I have.

Ah...now I remember the billionaire. He is the owner of Stark Industries, if I am correct.

Every day there is some news about this guy. Honestly I have always wondered where all the money from his accounts goes. I mean the billionaires' are humans too so their needs are the same as ours, us struggling middle class people. I don't think I will ever understand it.

While I was thinking about all of this, the man stands up and walks towards me and says, "Hey, you are really beautiful and do you mind telling me your name gorgeous?"

CHE DIAVOLO?!?

Yes, I do mind it. Thank you very much!

I thought they are a couple! I mean they came in holding hands and the woman had a lovesick face, anybody would think they are a couple.

"Won't your girlfriend be upset then?" I ask looking behind the man and see the woman walking towards us. I decided to play a bit.

"Girlfriend? Oh no, she is just a fling." He answers not knowing the said 'fling' heard him. I concluded that I should leave the rest of the conversation to the woman.

"Jason, so now I am just a fling?" the man whose name I caught was 'Jason' was now explaining something to the woman and she sounded heartbroken. "I thought you were my soulmate!" Now this is what catches my attention.

What does she mean by 'thought'? I have heard people saying that you know who your soulmate is when you spend time with them and after sometime you soulmark starts glowing. Now this may happen to one person first and then their soulmate.

Well, back to the topic, the woman was looking angry and heartbroken and these two emotions together just create havoc. So I figured I should leave them alone. After sometime, the two leave the coffee shop fighting all the way to the door. I sigh and decided to call Benji and ask how his interview went.

"Hey Ben! How was your interview?" I ask expecting him to give me good news. At least one of us should have a job and if I don't get any call from this company, I will leave the house me and Benji are living in. I can't stay there for free.

Benji cuts my train of thought by replying, "It went great! If I get this job we won't be poor anymore, Y/n."

We won't be poor? What kind of company is he going to work for? Dio mio, lavorerà per una mafia ora?

"Benji, what kind of job have you applied for?" I ask him scared if he is actually thinking of working for a mafia.

Sensing my fearful tone, he replies "Una mafia."

My eyes go wide and I was about to have a panic attack until I heard him controlling his laugh. I sigh, getting impatient I ask him, "Benjamin Marino, tell me the truth right now!"

"Oh my God, full name! Calm down y/n. I interviewed for an Architect –

I cut him off by saying "Oh..an Architect, that's great! But what did you mean –

"–in the Stark Industries!!" Benji finishes and waits for my reaction or my excited squeals.

Did he just say Stark Industries? As in THE Stark Industries. The one whose owner is Tony Stark!!!

"Hello? Y/n? Y/n, stai bene?"

The Italian brings me back and I ask, "How did you get an offer from Stark Industries?"

"What? That's the first question you ask when I have given you such great news." Benji replies offended by my lack of interest.

"I am very happy for you, silly. So when will you know if you got the job or not?" I ask him, now relieved that he is away from danger and mafia shit.

"They said that the final decision will be made next week and don't forget I have applied for you too." Benji says as if it is not a big deal.

"You know you didn't have to do that, it means a lot to me, Benji. Seriously, thank you so much!" I thank him feeling grateful for what he did.

"Alright, that's it! Our friendship is over! Right NOW!" Benji practically scolded me. "What? Why?" I asked him surprised.

"We have been best friends since 10 years and this is what I get! Why God? Why? What did I do wrong?" Benji starts with his dramatics.

"Okay. Okay, Benji, please stop with those dramatics! I won't thank you, alright!" I swear, his blood is filled with coffee and dramatics.

"Good, you were always a fast learner. Now bye, I will see you soon at home." Benji replies. "Bye, benji." I reply him and think about getting a job at Stark Industries.

Ohhh... What a beautiful dream it is! Yes, dream.

After 5-6 costumers I felt tired and decided to go home early today. When I reach home, Benji is celebrating in the hall, dancing on the songs playing on the speaker and a closed bottle of beer waiting to open. He sees me and asks me to join him which I do because seeing the beer, all my tiredness went into the deepest part of my mind.

We drink and enjoy the pizza that Benji ordered and now we are lying on the couch, sleepy and totally wasted. We wish each other goodnight and go to our rooms.

The last thing on my mind when I went to sleep was: "Will I ever meet my soulmate?"
