THE MAGIC OF CANDY: WILLY WONKA 2023

NO MORE FEARS

IRIS POV

It has been a little over a month since Willy left to America. When he left, he didn't hug me like I thought he would. He was really cold to me. I have ruined this friendship? I really hope not. He was too kind, he was lovely and treated me like noone has ever done. Oh man!!

"Iris? There is a postcard from Willy" Noodle said. I rushed to it.

"What does it says?" I asked.

"Noodle, I will be out one more month. Everything is okay. I'll see you soon. Your friend, Willy" She read. He didn't mention me?

"Nothing for me?" I asked.

"No, sorry. I'm sure he just wants to give you some space." She said.

"It's okay, I just ruined the most wonderful man in the world." I said putting my head on the counter.

"You like him, right?" Noodle asked. " And don't say no, because I can see in your eyes when you are together." She said.

"Yes, no, I don't know!!" I confess. "I'm afraid Noodle. I'm afraid to hurt him or to get hurt. I'm afraid I'm not good enough" I confess for the first time.

Noodle smiled and hugged me tight. "Of course you are enough. You are perfect for him. He is too sweet and you don't eat so much sugar. You know he, eating too much sugar is not healthy. It's all balanced. " She said laughing.

"I'm afraid I ruined it when I decline his offer to travel with him." I said.

"Well..., there is always time to fix things. When he comes back, you can tell him how you really feel. No more fears! I'm so sure he misses you too much. I know Willy, he likes you like alot! Waaay to much! I'm sure is just his ego that got hurt. He will be back as his old self and you two can be happy and get marry. You already live together!" She said excited.

"Because he doesn't want me to be alone! He can be so over protected sometimes!!" I said.

"So... Are you going to tell him when he comes back?"She asked.

"Right when he cross the door. No more fears!" I said.

"No more fears!!" She said and we continued working.

Another month passed and we were cleaning the store. It was almost time to close. I was cleaning the storage room when we heard the news. Willy Wonka has arrived.

I fixed my hair and make up. This is it. I'm going to tell Willy that I like him alot and I'm willing to try dating. No more fears! No more fears! I kept telling myself. I felt like everything was in slow motion. I walked through the store, I saw everyone crowed around Willy. I made my way through the crowd and then I saw him. Smiling like always but now holding hands with a blond?

Who is she? I felt like they threw a bucket of cold water. I looked and saw that they haven't seen me since there was too many people. I needed some time to process. I wanted to cry. So this is what a heartbreak felt.

I went to the storage room, I felt really bad. I was shaking. I took some deep breaths and went to grab my purse, I needed my glucose machine. Something was not right.

"Iris?" I heard his voice.

"Oh hey.. You are back. I didn't notice" I said looking down and looking for my machine.

"Yeah about 10 minutes ago. Everything okay?" He asked searching for my eyes. I was trying to check my blood sugar.

"Yeah, I am trying to poke my finger." I said.

"You are shaking... Here. Let me help you." Willy said getting closer and holding my hand to poke it. I just kept looking at him. He raised his eyes and looked at mine. We were so close.

Beep! beep! The achine went off. It was low.

"It's low" I said.

"Yeah, here try this chocolate. It's a new recipe." He said.

I ate it and I felt so much better. The chocolate was delicious. It tasted like a touch of caramel and heaven.

"Thank you" I said quietly.

"There is something I want to talk to you about." He said a bit nervous.

Please, don't say it! Please, don't!

"I'm dating someone" He said.

"Oh... wow. That's nice. You deserve to be happy." I said touching his hand.

"Thank you.. coming from you means a lot to me. We are just friends right? You want us to be just friends?" He asked with a look that I couldn't comprehend.

NOOO! "Yes" I said. He gave me a little smiled and went away. Leaving me all by myself.

I lost him...
