Soul Searching

Chapter 5

Jessica is planning to steal my Dylan. I won't let that happen...

"Beep beep..." I check my phone and I got a message from Dylan.

Dylan: 'Dancing' if ones partner would barely tolerable. - Elizabeth

Melody: You're reading the book already? That's great :)

Dylan: I really love the story. I can't wait to read the rest of the book. ;)

'Awww Dylan is so sweet. He and I really have a lot in common.' I can't wait to meet him someday.

Just before I change my clothes I started to think where I should start finding Dylan. Where could he be in this big country?

"Oh I got an idea. Maybe I should check his status where he is." I said to myself. I pull my phone out of my pocket and start to check Dylan's status where he could be. I keep scrolling to check his latest update.

"I found it!" I shouted. "Dylan at the beach today." I check the map where could this beach be. "Oh it's not far from here. I can walk to the beach from home." I close my phone and I change into a cute beach outfit. If I'm going to meet Dylan today I might as well look really good for him.

After I change I head outside and walk straight to the beach.

The beach looks really beautiful this afternoon, but where's Dylan. I keep looking around to find him. I started to ask people at the beach if they say a guy with green eyes, his height was 6'0, a bit dark blond hair, and a fair skin tone. This afternoon I keep asking around but no one ever saw the guy that I was describing today.

I felt exhausted so I try to look for a shop and buy a bottle of water. I saw a restaurant nearby, and there was a poster on the window that says 'Help Wanted'.

"Hmm... Maybe I can start working here. It looks like a great place for summer job," I said to myself and enter the restaurant.

"Hello?" I said.

"What can I do for a pretty girl like you?" I heard a voice, when I turn to face my left side I saw a tall perfect tan guy. His so handsome with his brown eyes and perfect smile.

"Oh um... I saw your poster that you were hiring. I would really want to apply for this summer." I said. But I can't stop staring at him.

"Why would a pretty girl like you would work in a restaurant? I don't think you can handle the job here." He said as he crosses his arms, and look at me from head to feet. "Please I really need a job this summer. I can do any job here in your restaurant. Anything." I beg for this job. I really do need a job. He close his eyes and sigh.

"Alright. I guess you can apply, but I still need to see if you have the skills to cook and wait tables." He said and I nod to him. "I'm Bryan Smith. Please follow me." I follow his in the kitchen and he prepare ingredients on the kitchen table. "Please demonstrate to me how you cook." He said and step aside.

I walk towards the table and grab some ingredients to cook. Btw I was planning to cook Buffalo wings.

After 1 hour and 56 minutes I finally finish cooking. Mr. Smith tasted the dish that I prepare. I was bit nervous what if he didn't like my cooking.

"Mhmm... This dish really taste good." He said and gave me a thumbs up. I clap my hands together, and I was really happy that he likes my dish. "But..." He added.

'Oh there's always a BUT' I thought to myself.

"BUT what?" I ask.

"But it doesn't match the surroundings." He said. It actually made me confuse.

"I don't get it Mr. Smith."

"Your dish is really good, it just doesn't match the place. This place is near the beach am I right?" He said and I nodded.

"So if a restaurant's theme is about the beach, or desert, and other kinds of them. You should always match your dish by the theme of the restaurant's surroundings." Mr. Smith explain.

I nodded and took note on everything he just said.

'Wait. Does that mean I didn't get the job?!' I thought to myself and my eyes widen when I just realize it.

"Mr. Smith please I need this job I can do it all over again. Please sir." I beg Mr. Smith for this job, but he just chuckle.

"Hahaha. Don't worry you got the job. You seem like a hard working person, so I think you'll do great." He smiled to me and gave me a hand shake. I shook his hand back.

"Oh thank you so much Mr. Smith!!" I said happily. He just chuckle and smiled to me.

"I guess I'll be working with a cute girl now. And please don't call me sir. I think we're just in the same age. Please just call me Bryan." He said. "Really? Oh okay Bryan." I smile back to him.

"I didn't catch your name." He said.

"Oh. My name is Melody Hart." I answer.

"That's a cute name. I'll just call you Mel if that's okay."

I nodded. "Yes Bryan that's okay. Wait you own this restaurant?" I ask him.

"This restaurant belongs to my family for generations. So YES this restaurant is mine." He answer.

'Wow for such a young and handsome guy he seems to be very responsible to own a restaurant.' I thought to myself.

After a few conversation with Bryan I went home and jump to my bed. It seems that I found a job and that's good, but my main purpose today was to look for Dylan. I guess it's not today.

I sigh...

'Knock knock...'

I heard a knock on the door, so I got off of my bed and open the door. It was Jessica.

'Great what does she wants now'

"I found your internet boyfriend sis." Jessica said.

What?! Could she really have found Dylan already? Where is he?
