Catch me if you can

chapter 9

Martina

*I arrived at the kitchen, seeing Mechi alone again.*

M: Good morning Mechi

Me: Heya! Could you bring me a pack of flour please?!

M: Sure, I-

*Before I went to the storage, Pepe came out with the pack. Oh. He is back*

P: Here you are. Oh, hi Martina

M: Hi

P: Thanks for the help while I was gone

M: Oh... you're welcome. That means... that I'm staying here?

P: That depends on Stephie. Who knows, mabye you are better than me

S: What are you doing? Nothing. Go back to work Pepe. Martina, to the drinks

P: So, things will get back to normal?

S: Sure

*I hanged my head down in grief, which Pepe probably noticed*

P: And... can't Martina be a waitress too?

S: No. Don't even try to change my mind. Or I will fire all of you

*She said and left. I had urge to go and slap her in her face. For the first time, something agressive.*

P: Sorry Martina

M: That's okay. You've tried. Thanks

Jorge

*I walked to the café for my breakfast and Stephie was standing at the cashdesk with a smile. I love how she admires everything I do.*

J: Hey

S: Good morning, you're gonna take it with you or-

J: I'll have it here, thank you

*I sat at the table and waited for the pretty girl to come. Tini. I kept looking around, but saw just one guy. He came to me, placed the coffee on the table and left*

J: Hey, eh, boy

*He turned around and looked at me confused*

P: ... yes?

J: You had a friend of yours here, where is she?

P: Brown hair, skinny? She is in the kitchen.

J: Okay, thanks

*The guy left and so did I.*

S: You didn't finish your coffee yet

J: I gotta go. Bye. ...sweetie.

*I added and left the café. Guess I won't see her everyday as a waitress anymore.*

Martina

P: Martina?

M: Yeah?

P: Jorge asked where you are.

M: When?

P: A few minutes ago. But he is gone now.

M: Oh... thank you for telling me

P: No problem.

*He was looking for me? I gotta call him. Or... no?*
