'Let me give you a ride.'
His eyes, they speak more than him. Just not very clearly. There is something so intriguing about them which makes me loose myself in them.
'Um- thats very kind of you to ask but I live at least 30 minutes away from here. I would gladly take the subway, its no big deal.'
'Which side do you live?'
'About 30 minutes north from here, in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.'
'Come with me, Ill drop you. I have some work to do in that part of the town anyways.'
'Are you sure sir?'
'Yes I a-'
'S how did your interview gooo?' someone said while hugging me tightly from the back.
That someone being Aiden Ducky, my best friend. He was the first person I met ever since I came to New York, 7 months ago. He looked just as lost as I was, when I met him at the nature's cafe, where I worked for 5 months prior to this interview. We very quickly bonded over the first cup of coffee he ordered. A big part of that maybe is because he has been through something similar in the past like me. In a way we can sympathise and understand each other.
'Aiden, you sacred me!' I said looking back at him.
'How did it go? And who is this gentlemen here?' can he never be in his pants?
'I'll tell you all abo-'
'I'll be going since you clearly have ride home now. I expect you to meet me and the chef at 12 sharp. Do you know where the restaurant is?' Greyson said almost angrily? He looked at Aiden up down way too many times with an emotion in his eyes I couldn't point out, again.
Oh lord is he gay too? But he is in a relationship with a woman right?
to be real tho why do all, literally all the hot boys have to be either gay or too old or fictional characters?
'Yes sir, I do. Thank you for everything.'
Without giving a reply, he walked away while plugging what looked like an earpiece in his right ear that he pulled out of his pocket.
'Whats up with that dude?' Aiden asked clearly not having a clue of what's going on and why this Greyson was acting this way.
'I don't even know. He is been like this since the past maybe 20 minutes I have known him. First he is all kind, but then gets all serious and-'
'Wait-wait, I'm confused. Who the fuck is he Sara?'
'He's Greyson Adler, Aiden'
'Are you fucking kidding me? How the absolute fuck did I not recognise him the first time I looked at his face? He does not disappoint, he is hotter in real life.'
'And we clearly pissed him off.'
'Why does it matter. And why was he talking to you? I'm honestly very confused'
'Aiden he is the owner of this business, what else would it be for?'
'Um- I don't know, maybe he's got the hots for you?'
'Sometimes I wonder how you got into NYU, Aiden I a-'
'Oh my god! You got the job!'
'Aiden be quite, you are bing way too loud' I said as the people exiting the elevator looked at us disgustingly.
Is she the desk lady? She does not like me already.
'Oh its you. Congratulations, although I'm not sure how you got the job' she said looking at me.
'Well because she fucking deserved it? You can move forward now' Aiden said, standing up for me like he always does.
'Watch you tone mister. You don't know who I am' she said, clearly annoyed.
'Why do you think I want to? Move ahead lady, we have places to go to.'
She huffed and moved forward, very embarrassed because of Aiden. I don't know, she kinda did deserve it.
'Aiden, that was mean. She hates me now.'
'Why do you care? S forget about her, tell me how did all this happen? I am so happy for you!'
'I'm confused to be honest. He didn't even ask me enough questions during the interview and didn't let the chef ask me questions either. He just told me to be at the restaurant by 12 tomorrow.'
'Sara, this is amazing news! I am so so happy for you honey. After all that you have been through, I'm so happy you got this chance. And girl don't you worry, he would be licking his fingers with your dish in his plate. You know you are amazing, all you have to do now is prove it to him. And you will.'
'Thanks for the pep talk Aiden but we should get going now. Did you bring your car? I wanna go home as soon as possible ad start preparing for tomorrow.'
'Yes I did, let's go' he said wiggling the keys that he oiled out from his back pocket, as we started moving away from the corner outside the elevator where we were standing, not blocking the passage.
'How did you get in anyways, the security is pretty tight here' I asked glancing back at Aiden, while we walked toward the exit.
'Turns out the guard was gay.'
'Aiden! what did you do?' what is wrong with this guy?
'that's for me to know and you to never' he said catching upto me and winking at me.
This man disgusts me. You would think a 22 year old as better tings to do, he would jump right in to prove you wrong.
'I don't even want to' I said shaking my head.
As we step out of the office, I notice how dark it has actually gotten which made me look at the watch on my wrist, the last gift from my mom. I have been wearing it every day ever since, god I miss her so much.
It's already 8:49 in the night. I will have to think fast and prep everything.
'Where's the car?' I asked looking at all cars parked at the sideway, searching for aide's blue Toyota RAV.
That's the beauty of Manhattan I guess. Big tall building, the traffic and the rush in everybody's life.
'Come with me' he grabbed my hand and we walked towards the car.
'Aiden what do I prepare? I am so nervous. you know how much I need this job' I said as we sat in the car.
'You'll figure it out, you always do' he said while smiling. What would I do without him? 'now tell me all about mr.handsome there.'
'He's in a relationship Aiden, you know that already.'
'You're right. damn it, I thought I saw some chemistry back there.'
'Yeah right' I said while yawning and getting comfortable on the seat and tilting my head backwards 'Is that a fucking hickey Aiden? I'm 99% sure you didn't have one this morning' I said as I looked up his white shirt, from the position that I was in.
And all he did was wink.
'Sleep if you can right now kiddo, you got a lot to do once we get home. Ill wake you up. Rest a little.'
And that's what I did.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Today I listened to make you mine by PUBLIC and boy did that make me feel single. and lonely.
Like imagine having someone sing that for you and actually mean it. Can not relate.
