Yelena's POV
It's the first day of my job. It is my first job. I recently got hired at McDonald's. I am so nervous. I hope I don't make a fool out of myself. I hope I can impress my managers. This girl Kate is my crew trainer. She is very nice. I learnt how to assemble burgers, use grill and fried. It was a pretty eventful shift. I met a few of my managers. They seem really nice.
Orlando's POV
I heard we've got a new girl starting. Her name is Yelena. That's a pretty name. I see her for the first time. She is tall, skinny, has light brown hair which is tied up in a ponytail. She has braces but the most contagious smile ever. It's so gorgeous. I need to get to know her.
Yelena's POV
I meet Orlando for the first time. He is really tall, skinny, dirty blonde slick back hair, blue eyes and perfect straight white teeth which makes his smile amazing. He is very friendly and good looking not to mention.
A month pasts and I haven't seen Orlando in a little while. I have shift tomorrow at 4:00pm so hopefully I see him.
He was there and for my next few shifts. We started talking little by little each shift. He is so funny. It's so easy to talk to him. I like the side he brings out of me. I never thought it would be this easy to connect with a manager.
Orlando's POV
I ask Yelena to count weight with me. I don't know why I ask her to do it even though I am capable of doing it myself. I guess I just enjoy her company. She makes me laugh. She sees the good in me. She brings out this side of me I didn't know I had. She's so beautiful I guarantee she has no idea. She can't see what I see. I see this young beautiful women with talent who has a bright future ahead of her. She tells me all the waste in the bin. She saw the tortilla in the bin and said, "just bread." I laughed. She's so funny. "Just bread" I laughed nodding my head. She said, "what? It's bread but I don't know the name of it, it's not funny." She makes me laugh once again. I don't say anything. I can't help but get to know her some more. She is so intriguing. Something about her is always me pulling me towards her. I know she is sixteen years old and does Athletics, wants to study Exercise and Biomedical science. I asked her is she likes sport and she responded with, "I enjoy sport but I'm getting lazy and can't be bothered anymore." Once again she makes me laugh. I asked her what events she does at Athletics and said, "High jump, sprints-" I cut her off by asking, "what's your best in high jump?" She laughs and says, "it's embarrassing, I don't wanna tell you." I say, "come on, tell me." She laughs and says, "Are you sure you wanna know?" I say, "Yes." She says, "okay, my best is a meter nineteen." And laughs. I was shocked when she said that. She asked, "what about you" I point at my chest and say "a meter fifty. "she laughs and shakes her head and says, "no way" I say, "yes". Ella calls my name. I don't want to go to her. I want to stay and get to know Yelena more. Eventually I disappear before Yelena can say anything. Wish it could be just the two of us. I have so many questions to ask her.
Yelena's POV
I can't believe Orlando can get a meter fifty in high jump, that's impressive. He doesn't stop surprising me. God I love it. I'm so intrigued. I wanna know so much about him. Wish it could be the two of us. I have so many unanswered questions.
It's a typical Saturday arvo at 2:00pm. I'm just watching The Vampire Diaries and then all of a sudden my phone rings. I hope it's not work. I can't be bothered coming in, I'll only come in if Orlando is managing.
Orlando's POV
We are short one person in kitchen and we desperately need someone. I need someone to come in or we're screwed. I remember Yelena said she's not working Saturday, maybe she can come in. I dial her number in my phone. It's a number I'd like to stay in my phone. She answers the phone by saying "hello". I say, "hey Yelena it's your favourite manager." I hope she says my name. She laughs and says, "oh hey Orlando what's up?" I say "would you mind helping us out tonight?" She says, "let me check with my mum." I say, "okay." I hope she can work it'd be so good nothing much is happening today and she's great company so I can just muck around with her. She comes back on the line and says, "hey Orlando I can work tonight, what time did you want me to come in?" I tell her, "can you come in at 3 o'clock?" She says, "yep that's fine I'll see you in an hour." I say, "yes you will, see you then." I can't help but smile. Why does she have this effect on me?
Yelena's POV
I can't be bothered going to work but Orlando's managing so it should be good. I better get changed, brush my teeth and do my hair, I've gotta leave in 45 minutes. I can't help but smile. I can't believe he said it's your favourite manager. He's so funny. He's right though, he is my favourite manager by far. He's like one of the managers who has made an effort to get to know me. But I can't stop thinking about him and I can't stop smiling. Why does he have this effect on me?
