A Restaurant Story

Chapter Two: Meeting

"Excuse me, what?", I asked suprised. "Yes, I

would like you to work in my restaurant," he

said. "But I don't even know you!", I said. "Just

trust me," he said, with firm belief. Against my

better judgement, (or maybe because he was

just too damn handsome) I said, "Yes, I accept

your offer." "Great! Come meet me at Trattoria La Alsolei at 437 Little Parade Avenue before 11:00, ok? I'll get settled there and uhhhh.... I'll introduce you to your co-workers, yeah? Ok, goodbye!" He left the plaza, and I just stood, dumbstruck. When he left the plaza, my whole body jumped with excitement. "I'm going to get a job," I think to my self, then I laugh at my good fortune. I closed the shop early, then went back home, and told my parents the good news, and, naturally, they were overjoyed. We then celebrated, by of course, eating food.

Fast Forward
     I prepared myself to go out. I dressed myself in casual clothes, then headed out to go to the restaurant.
     When I got to the restaurant, I saw the young man I met yesterday immediately, because he was outside, waiting at the door. He noticed me and said, "Well, it's about time you arrived!""Well, it's like 10 minutes before the meeting time!", I exasperated. "Well, we pride ourselves in being extra early here. Wait, actually, I don't think I have introduced my self yet. My name is Ezio Leone Salvatore, and I own this humble establishment. You can call me Ezio. Also I am Italian." "It is nice to meet you Ezio. My name is Kaelynn Mendoza." "Ok now, let me introduce you to the kitchen staff here, oh but one thing first....", he paused, "One thing about this restaurant is that we do not have a menu. Well, actually, we have one but it is rather short. So we do custom orders from our customers too, just as long as it is pasta." "I see," I reply. "Right! I have left you out her for too long! It is time for you to meet the staff!" He then opened the double doors and we went inside.
The inside was decorated in a very modern and sleek style but it was very warm and homey at the same time. There were a few tables and chairs inside with a few more items that should be in a restaurant like, a stove, cash register, etc.. Four other staff members greeted me inside, three of them male, the other female.
     "Ok, now introduce yourselves," Ezio said. "My name is Kaelynn Mendoza, but you can call me Kay," I introduced myself. "I'm Hisoka Kiyoshi. Call me Kiyoshi," says the Japanese-looking man who is a little bit taller than Ezio, with dark blue hair and eyes of the same hue. "I am Charlotte Dubois. Please call me Charle," the French girl with long blonde hair and violet eyes said and then ended with a wink. "I hope we can be great friends!, she added. "I am Amina Kali. Call me Kali," said the dark-skinned man. "It's nice to meet all of you! I hope we can be great co-workers!", I say. "Also, why do you look like you're from different countries?", I ask. "It is because that man over there persuaded us to work at this restaurant," Kiyoshi said. "True that," said Kali. "But why did you still come here?", I ask. "That's because we can't leave that man hanging all the time, begging at our doorsteps," said Charle. We all laughed except for Ezio. "All right," he said, "There is no more time for chit-chat because rush hour is fast approaching now!" I look at my watch and saw that it was almost 12pm. "Oh my goodness! Quick, let's change into our uniforms and get into our stations!", Charle exclaimed. "Let's go!", somebody shouted. I changed into my chef's outfit and went to the kitchen.
