Building Bridges

Chapter two

I thought he confused me with someone else and that he didn't recognize me when he stayed silent, so I took the money from his hand and went to do my work but he suddenly recovered from his frozen state and suddenly smiled.

-"Hi! You may not remember me, we met last night by the bridge" he said with a wide smile showing his beautiful dimples.

I don't know why, but I found myself smiling too.

-"Yeah, hi" I said back and finished working.

-"So, you work here?" He said surprised.

-"Yeah" I said and closed the cover of his gazoline trunk.

Since there wasn't people or clients around, he turned off his car and got out closing his door and leaning against it.

-"For how long are you going to stay?" He asked while putting his hands in his pockets.

-"Actually, you are my last client, so, I just finished" I said as I tucked the money inside the purse and took it off my hips.

-"How's life in this side?" He asked with a small smile.

-"Rolling" I said and cleaned my hands with the Bio-gel that was left for the workers or clients in need.

-"I heard about a job offer by the bakery" he said.

-"Aren't you forbidden from coming to this side of the town?" I asked in confusion.

-"The bakery is in between, so it's okay" he said coolly.

-"Aside, you are not supposed to be there until four am, which is two hours from now, so what are you doing here?" I challenged.

-"How did you know about th-...wait! Are you too applying for the job?" He asked with excitement.

-"Yeah" I said and put on my jacket.

-"Where's your car?" He asked suddenly.

-"Don't have one"

-"Need a ride?"

-"You are not welcome here"

-"I'll bend with the shadow, no one will notice me" he said and brushed his shoulder with mine in a childish way urging me to accept his offer.

-"Okay then" I said and his smile went wide as he rushed to his side of the car and waited until I got in before following inside too.

The ride was silent, aside from the soft music coming from the radio.

I don't know when or how I fell asleep, but a gentle nudge to my shoulder woke me up, and I was startled to see the time: 02:55 am.

-"God! Sorry! I fell asleep"

-"It's okay! We are in front of the bakery anyway, I didn't want to wake you up, you looked like you needed some rest" he said with a gentle smile.

We got out of the car and headed to the bakery, the backdoor was not locked, so we went in.

We were greeted by a huge kitchen, it was awesome, big ovens and machines for dough, kitchen utensils and space to work and prepare, it was awesome!

The counters, fridges, freezers, and roofs and stocking of flour, yeast, butter, milk and a lot of other things to make bread and other different recipes.

-"Wow!" The guy breathed beside me.

He was as amazed as I was.

-"So we got two brave candidates! Awesome!" A voice said behind us.
