An Uninvited Guest (Pt.1) March 9, 2008

Bret walked out of the kitchen, now worried for Alec’s safety, not to mention the state his house would be in if Anna decided to throw a shit fit. To his surprise he saw a young woman sitting at the table. He glanced at the clock, it was way too early for the applicants to come! He wasn’t even ready yet!

He approached the table cautiously, keeping his wits about. For all he knew, she could be some skilled spy from another neighbouring restaurant, out to steal his secret recipes! If only he had any secret recipes to steal…

“Hi miss, you’re a bit early. The job interviews begin at 10 and it’s only 9..”

She looked up at him with a questioning look.

“You are here for a job, right?” Bret asked, getting a bit confused now.

“No, I just passed by here and decided to check this place out… is it not open?” she asked looking apologetic.

“No, no! It’s fine! You can uhh, sit here if you want!” Bret replied hurridly, not wanting to scare off the pretty young woman. If he played his cards right, she could become his new sexy waitress!

“Are you looking for a job miss? I can hire you on the spot you know.” he asked. “You look like you’ll get along well with my future customers.”

She smiled at this comment. “And I presume it’s because of this pretty face that you’re willing to hire me isn’t it?”

Bret didn’t bat an eyelash as he responded, “Of course, in the food industry, it is often said a pretty face can increase one’s appetite. With your face, my future customers will be incredibly hungry for food.”

She laughed as she got up from her seat. “In that case, I’ll be sure to come back when this restaurant is operating at its finest.”

“Wait miss! If you take the job I assure you, you won’t regret it!”

She laughed again as she left the restaurant, “I’ll see you sometime later pretty boy,”

“Wait!” Bret called after her, “What’s your name?” But the tinkling of the door chimes told him she had left already.

“That didn’t go too well,” he thought as he watched her leave down the street.

Just you wait, I’ll make you come back.
