" Hey Natalie!" I said as I hung up my jacket in the employee room.
" hey!" She was kneading the dough for today's bread. She had her hair tied up in a messy bun, her company uniform which consisted of a white shirt and khakis with a green apron. Beautiful.
" what?" She asked. Did I say that out loud. Crap...
" uh...nothing." I recovered and quickly went to my station. I washed my hands and starting opening a pack of cookies to make.
" hey Harry?" Natalie asked. " can you work the counter today? Amber wants to see how well you work outside the kitchen." She explained.
" yes sure." I put the cookies in the pan and slid them into the oven. Then I went to the front of the bakery and flipped the closed sign over to open. Then resume my place at the counter waiting for the first customer.
About 15 minutes later a young girl came to bakery she was wearing a mini shirt and crop top. With about a pound of make-up that looked like it was done by a blind, spaztastic ( if that's a word), monkey on crack, she sauntered up to the counter and battered her fake eyelashes at me.
" heyyy baby." She cooed. She had her hands on the counter and tried to make her chest look bigger.
" hi." I said with no emotion. " how can I help you?" I asked hoping she would get the hint that it didn't want her. But the amazing girl behind me.
" well." She started, totally not getting the hint, " I was gonna get some bread but.. I think you can help me with more than that." She mused. I rolled my eyes and slid her hand off of my chest that she had placed while she was speaking. She looked disappointed but gained back her composure.
" don't tell me." She said looking over my should to see Natalie. " you like her don't cha?" She said rolling her eyes. " ugly b-"
" stop talking...goodbye." I said and turned her around and pushed her out of the door. I scoffed and went to the counter. Looking back at Natalie, I smiled, she wasn't ugly. At all. She was beautiful. ( pic of her on cover don't know how to add to the side bar) I saw on the counter that the girl that came in left some orange spray tan crap on the counter. Gross. I grabbed a towel and wiped it down.
" hey Harry!" Natalie called from the kitchen.
" what is it?" I called back .
" come help me with this."
" alright." I checked the door to see if someone was coming then went to the kitchen. " Natalie? Where are you?" She wasn't at her station or the oven.
" BOO!" Someone yelled from behind me. I screamed like a little girl and fell into a fetal position. The person that scared me was cackling at me and I looked up to see Natalie clutching her stomach, doubled over in laughter. I huffed and stood up,
" that was mean." I said.
" that was revenge." She retorted.
" really?" I said taking a step closer.
" yes." She said taking her own step forward towards me. Soon we were face to face.
" Natalie." I whispered taking her face in my hands
"Harry." She said looking at me straight in the eyes. I looked into hers, finding myself leaning in. The best part; she was leaning in too.
