panama Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Here I was, Gaspard, thirty-something, facing the humiliation of asking for work in a coffee shop... I was bankrupt, as the idea of resuming a year of classes at the University was a cleaver but expensive one... Being a foreigner didn´t help either, as I only could rely on myself... So here I was, giving my resume to a perfect stranger. Gosh, how I hated those fake smiles ! At least in Europe people are gloomy but don´t pretend to be friendly when they don´t give a fuck about you. - So, you´re name is... Gaspard ? - That´s it. Her smile was perfect, and I had to stretch my neck a little bit up to look at her deep green eyes. - Amanda. Nice to meet you. Right now we are not looking for other employees... Her body radiated health, some kind of warm energy. - Let me know if... I was going to add something when I was interrupted by another barista, another lady in her late twenties, big breasts, and... Oh ! A real smile ? - I´m Gemma. Nice to meet you. - Gemma, Amanda replied, without even looking at her, we just don´t hire. Besides, he has no previous experience (Amanda was holding my resume in her delicate tanned hand.) - I think Aaron just told me yesterday he was looking for someone else. I was kind of transparent, as they began to discuss... The coffee shop was almost empty, except for some lonely customers, surfing in Internet while having a 600 Kca latte... Of course the place was in perfect harmony with the neighbourhood, that is : wood tables, and everything so bio and healthy and shit... I wanted to leave this place. They both still ignored me, and I had a quick look at the mirror behind the counter : there I was, skinny, almost bald, pale, and... - OK Gaspard, can you come back tomorrow ? I saw her sensual lips in slow motion, while her perfect white teeth almost didn´t move... - Yeah, sure. - You´ll meet Aaron, he´s the boss here. - OK. - See you tomorrow. - Can I... I was going to ask for my resume, but Amanda had gone, entering the employees room. I could have a quick glimpse of the uniform : jeans and a green polo where it was written : "best coffee in town." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
