silence >> h.s.

the run in

Luna

I sat behind the counter of the small bakery, that I had been working in for not even a month, reading. I'm not even sure how to pronounce the title and its not even that interesting, but I found it under the counter and I had nothing better to do.

I really wish something exciting happened at least every once in a while around here.

I do have myself to blame though, I only took this job because it seemed like no one would ever come in and I wouldn't really ever have to talk to anyone.

As I predicted, no one comes in here anyways. This building is so run-down and I'm not even sure very many people even know this place exists.

Even the owner left not too long ago saying that he had 'family troubles'. But, I think even he knew this bakery was a bust. So I just dismissed him with a nod and a bidding, "Goodbye."

I was just about to basically fall asleep with my face against the crease of the book, when I heard loud, running footsteps outside of the shop. The front door then made a ding noise, making my head snap up towards it and signaling that whoever was running, had entered.

I only caught a glimpse of the person's face when they entered because they immediately turn back towards the door. As they rested their forehead against the door, seemingly trying to catch their breath, my book decided to fall from the counter and onto the ground.

I cringe as I hop off of the stool I'm on to retrieve it. Did it really have to be that loud? I see how it is.

When I go to stand back up, I do it slowly, peeking my head up just so the counter is a little under my eyes, to see if the man still has his head on the door.

He doesn't, and is in fact staring straight at me.

D.amn.

I duck my head down again quickly, beginning to act like I'm searching for something as I hear his footsteps come closer to the counter.

When the door separating the back to the rest of the bakery slams against the wall I stand up, my hand raised above my head.

"Found it!" He stares at me as I shift, nervously laughing at myself, "haha, silly contact."

As he just continues to stare I grow uncomfortable, "You no hablo Inglés señor?" I slowly wave my hand back and forth.

That seems to snap him out of his little staring contest when he furrows his eyebrows at me.

"What is your name?"

"Uhh, Luna. Why? What's Your's?"

"Harry"

"Okay, so uh, Harry", I look over to the clock, my eyes widening, "it was super nice meeting you and all but fortunately my shift is over so that means you gotta skedaddle."

"Excuse me?"

I sigh taking off my apron, "You," I point to him, "gotta leave, you know, go bye bye." I point to the door as I start towards the back to gather my things.

I turn around when I hear him following me, "No, no, no, other way big guy." I try to turn him around, pushing against his chest, but am unsuccessful.

He grabs my wrists and forcefully shoves them off.

"Well okay then" I mumble under my breathe as I grab my jacket, shrugging it on.

He obviously has some listening issues, or something.

I grab my keys out of my pocket and go back around to the front, locking the door and turning the, 'open' sign to closed.

Turning off the some of the lights I look back to Harry who is staring at me once again.

What is his problem?

"Creeper much?" I think to myself.

"Okay, so uhm, the door is over there," I nod my head in the direction of the back door, "You can just go out that way and do whatever you were doing before. Okay?"

He doesnt say anything while he kicks off from the way and heads towards the door. I huff, rolling my eyes as I follow.

"Okay, Luna! Thank you for being so kind! omg you're the bestest ever!" I mock to myself in a deep voice.

Once I lock the back door and turn around Harry is absolutely nowhere to be seen. I furrow my eyebrows and look around.

"Okaaaaaay," I think to myself,

I shake off the uneasy feeling I get, huffing as I plop into the driver seat of my car.

When I wished for more excitement in my life, I don't know if I exactly expected this.
