I got to work 15 minutes late, the boss was a man called "Gus" he was a German fellow named Augustus.
I worked in a little corner cafe from 10:00 to 8:00 Monday to Friday.
I worked as usual, as I cleaned a table from a client that left I turned left towards the big glass window that looked out into the street, where I saw a girl, "the girl" that I dreamt I stood there for a while frozen, then I looked back down and continued cleaning the table.
The day was finally over I closed the cafe locked up and walked back home, this wasn't a problem since I lived about 10 minutes away on foot, I came in pressed the button for the elevator and rode it up to my floor and I entered my apartment the Ol' 806, I fed my cat got in the shower and listened to some 80s rock, I got lost in my mind thinking of the girl I just saw, I had dinner, brushed my teeth and hit the hay.
The following morning I woke up to a knock on my door, I thought that it had to be Anthony, and I was right, he usually showed up on Sundays but Saturday was ok I guess...
He told me of how crazy his day was and how he met a pretty brunette named Chelsea, I couldn't care less, I told him I had to go over to the corner shop and get some cigarettes.
He stayed in the house preparing the GameCube to play some classics.
I walked towards the elevator when I heard this singing I was surprised by how well it sounded but I continued on my route, I got in the elevator when suddenly I heard a woman shout wait hold up, I pressed the button to open the doors and she entered, she said good morning, I didn't respond, we left the building and as I walked toward the store I tripped on a brick I fell and my glasses flew across the sidewalk, as stood up dusted off my jeans and hoodie and looked for my glasses when "the girl" gave them to me laughing a bit, she asked "are you ok?" it was the most beautiful sound wave I had ever heard, I replied "Y-yes thank you" she said "Are you sure yesterday you got lost while staring and me" I said "no wait I ca" she cut me off by saying "I'm El, and you are?" "Charles, I'm Charles".
I cleaned my glasses and as I put them on, she left...
I didn't know what to believe, if she existed or if I was hallucinating, I went back home and as got in I saw a letter under my door...
