The Sweetest Cupcake

Preparing is... Part 2

Margot and Yui left at 5:30. I stayed at the shop for a while with Hank just to clean. The street was empty but accompanied with the street lights. Everyone's shop was closed. Alma lives in her shop so her upstairs lights were on. At 8PM I heard a sound of the shop door opening. I came from out of the kitchen to see what it was. a young man that looked a little older than me walked into my shop.  

"Oh, hello." I say. He had Blonde hair but it was as white as snow. His skin was pale and his eyes were dark brown. He didn't look like he was from here. He looked like a lost child. He looked confused. It took him a while to respond.

"HI", He responds. He walks in and walks around looking at the walls and the tables. "May i help you?" i ask. He seemed startled when i asked the question. "Oh, um where exactly am i and what time is it?" he says. It kinda scared me. "Your on Bisougin Street...In Italy. It's 8:09PM", i respond.

I walk closer towards him and he just stares at me. "Do you need any help?" i ask. 

"I need to know how to get back home." he says. 

"sit down and maybe i can help you."

He sits down in the seat next to him. i slowly sit across from him. "So how did you get here?" i ask.

"I was on a plane. But i didn't bring anything with me. I have no home and no passport. I snuck on the plane to get away from my foster parents. They would not leave since i am over 18 so i just left. i wanted to leave the country so i took a random plane." He responds.

"So what home are you trying to go to?"

"I want to find my real parents. But i don't want to go back."

"How long have you been lost in Italy?"

"So far, two days. I picked up a ride to this street."

I didn't know what else to say,"I don't know how to help you sir, im sorry." I sit there for a moment. 

"I need home but i don't have enough money."he says. his eyes looked sad and a bit afraid.

"What's your name?" i ask.

"Heith Woncan." He says. 

"Where did you come from?"

"Russia."

I knew i couldn't just let him go. What would he do. But i don't know how to help him. "Could i maybe work here?" He asks. I was suprised and happy. Already i have an employee. But what if he doesn't know how to cook? "Hmm, do you know how to bake? cook?" I ask.

He hesitates to respond, "MMM, i could make a grilled cheese and salad." I frown.

"well, if you want to work here you have a lot of work to do." i accept.

"YOUR LETTING ME WORK HERE!?" He asks. His big brown eyes glow in happiness. "Yep, but we haven't opened up yet so it may take a while."

"THANK YOU MA'AM!" He says and gives me a startling hug. He kinda stinks.

"Haha, no problem. But where will you stay?" i remeber to ask.

"I was thinking maybe i could stay with you?" He smiles nervously. But his eyes look very hopeful. I don't wanna leave him on the street. Hank starts barking and runs up to Heith. Hank wags his tail back and forth and Heith pets him. I smile, "Sure." He stands up, "Thank you so much ma'am. I CAN BE YOUR SERVANT!" he says. 

I smile nervously and wave my hands, "No, no, i think that's ok." I get up to get my bag and keys.

"Ok, let's go." i say. Him and Hank run out the door, i laugh. This will be interesting. I can't wait to tell Margot and Yui. Rodni and Ronda would enjoy this too.
