I was about to leave when I notice him about to come into the office. I get up and tell my friend i have to use the bathroom. I rapidly walk towards the locker when i the doors open. Luckily i stay behind the door and check my phone. I try to make as much time as possible without it looking to obvious. It felt like a good twenty minutes and i felt sure he must have gone. I begin to walk to my desk and notice him waiting for me. I feel the rush come over me, like annoyance. I pretend not to remember him.
"Maria, your friend is here" my coworker says. How dare he call himself my friend? how dare he presume that i would want a friendship with him! It was very unthinkable!
"Hello Sir" i begin "How may I assist you?"
I say loud enough so my coworker can hear me and think that something is up, so she can know how uncomfortable i am.
"Um..I wanted to say in person how beautiful I think you are" he begins
I think rage was in me now, but with the calmness that only the Dalai Lama can come up with i respond
"Thank you. Can i sign you in because closing time is in a few minutes." i say hoping that he would understand to leave.
"Perfect I can wait and take you to supper or something" he responds.
"Um sir" i hear my co worker saying "You can wait outside because we will be closing this entrance soon"
I looked at her, stunned, and almost worth a "thank you to her.
I look back at him with a smile and respond
"ill meet you in the front, by the statue after work"
he leaves happily. when he leaves I say
"Thank you so much, i was so uncomfortable"
"You're welcome! but next time tell me so i can help you"
After work I run furthest away from the statue as possible and tell my friend Vladi to tell him i left early because of an emergency. Hopefully his height and boldness scares him off in the right direction.
LOL! Vlad to the rescue....
