chapter 4

pretty

David had just put water into the pot he was going to use and cook he had planned on preparing bucatini pasta...then he heard the door opening then he saw someone looking a around he had guessed that she didn't see him because the place was dark, he had not yet put on the light he stayed there for a bit watching her...he knew that the position he was at now was an uncomfortable one but he was stuck in one place, not being able to talk or move because what he saw was beautiful...a very pretty young lady looking around his restaurant confused, he surely liked what he was seeing but couldn't explain how he felt then he let out the breath he didn't know he was holding when he sensed that she was about to leave, before he knows it his legs started moving on it's own accords

"man...the heck is wrong with me. he thought to himself "why am I acting like I've never seen a pretty girl before...man you're acting like a perve" he thought to himself again but one thing he was certain of was that he didn't want her to leave he wanted her to stay.

before he knew it he was asking her if she needed something "man Damm...what?" before he knows it he said that he wasn't open yet but he already has pasta he prepared that she can have some, the last one make he scream in his head "the heck is it's on the house...bro...why...that was one stupid line...he thought to himself again

seeing the fear in her eyes he proceeded to introduce himself...he stretched his hand towards her..."hello I'm David wright the owner of this establishment he said putting on his best smile.

Mathilda who was startled... collected her self she didn't actually wanted to shake him but she felt that she needed to since she entered the place...she had actually looked around and had noticed that there was no opened sign that used to be on every business door during work hours there but what was there was close, so she was was the one at fault for not checking before getting in

after thinking for a while she shaked him...I'm Mathilda...I just moved in here I was just looking for where to get something to eat I was just awe strucked by the beauty of the place that I didn't check properly...I'm really very sorry for disturbing you" she said looking apologetic

he was really surprised that she apologized he had seen her hesitance on taking his hand he was even ready to take it back when she suddenly shaked him now she was apologizing..."she's not only pretty she's but also polite...hmmm, he thought to himself

"no...no problem you really didn't disturb me, I have no problem with it...but since you said you were looking for where to get some food why don't you sit for a while, while I get you something" he said smiling he could see here hesitating for a min but the next thing he knew she was having her sit already...he smiled

"seeing you now I believe you are a new face this is the first time I'm seeing you around...you guys just moved in right? he asked while looking at her to check if she was comfortable with him asking her question then he heard her respond

"yeah...I just moved in with mom today...I've actually been here before when I was checking up the house but I never really saw this restaurant here" she asked just to keep the conversation going she wasn't really the type that tallks to people that she doesn't know she has always be preserved,tho that's what people normally tell her "Damm you're so timid" she had also heard a lot of times, so she was going to work on herself she never really cared before but now she cared....she had noticed that she didn't really have anyone to relie on except from her mom and best friend Tracy....so she had decided within herself to stop ignoring people

seeing that she was spacing out he decided to stop with the questions but then he saw her get herself then he proceeded to answer her question

"yeah...I just bought the place new about a week ago I plan on starting soon"he said while taking glance at her to see if she was listening to what he was saying...she was

"do you plan on cooking only...are you going to be teaching people" she asked

"hmmm I had not really thought about that but it would be nice but at the same time I don't think if have the time to lecture anyone cause I'd be busy when and after I open the restaurant he said

"oooh....I'd have loved to learn...but since you said your not teaching I'd find someone else who can do it she said a little bit sad

when he had heard her say she was interested in learning he stopped on his track...he had never really thought that she would be interested in cooking...well what's there to thought about, he actually didn't know her

"I'd teach you if you want me to" he heard himself say "Damm what the heck was there I "I can definitely teach you" he said again while smiling.
