"So... what you do Daniel?" He asked me.
"I work in a store. I'm kind the vice president"
"Really? I mean you look so young" He said very surprised.
"Yeah... Everyone says that but I'm kind what you can call young... I'm only 21"I said laughing.
"So you're a luck man like that song of the verve" He laughed too.
"Yeah! I love that song! Is so good" I said like if I found a child with the same toy I had.
"Really?"
"Really!"
We looked each other for a brief moment but seemed a century. I can't explain what happened but being there with the juice boy I felt safe. I felt like I found what I've been looking for. The missing piece I even didn't know I had.
"So Daniel" He started.
"Just Dan" I said.
"Ok Dan... Do you have something for this weekend?"
"I... really... don't... know... why?" I stutter.
"Well I was thinking show you a place I like"
"Really?" - Why on earth I would say that?
"Yeah, why the surprise?"
"Nothing. So when you wanna go?"
"I don't know, you can go sunday?"
"Hum... I promised my mum that I would take her to a beach we used to go when I was younger."
"Really? What beach?"
"Beach curve"
"Wow! Guess what. The place I wanna show you is there"
"Really?" I said very surprised.
"Yeah! Wierd" He laughed.
"I'll call my mum and say I'll take a friend."
"So it's a deal, right?"
"Right!"
"Ok so you can pick me up at my place, I'll write you the adress wait a minute"
"Ok!"
Meanwhile I ate my bread and drank my juice. I was late for work. Damn it! I wanna to be here for ever with him.
"Here" He said giving me the adress.
"Thank you, so I'll pick you up about 7 a.m. is that ok for you?"
"Yeah!"
"So, how much I have to pay?"
"Nothing."
"Come on!"
"As you liked and you came back so soon you don't have to pay for this one" He said laughing.
"Ok... Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
I get up and we looked each other for a moment and then we hug.
