Because there were no expectations
~ Eli Khamarov
THIS POST IS FOR YESTERDAY
So there was this girl minding her business at work last night. It was quite hot and she couldn't be bothered to put any make up on as she was not trying to impress anybody there. Her hair as she later found out was not at its best, a little frizzy in areas and a little flat in others. She thought she looked not that great. She was expecting a night of drunkards and smelling of beer, she was expecting a night of constant banter and playful teasings from the snack bar boys. She was expecting the oldies to hit on her (which did happen).
What she did not expect in her pretty tiresome day was a boy to give her his number.
Now this sounds all very black and white but there was more to it then just handing over a piece of paper.
She was working, in the middle of doing a few beer orders when this young man approached. His burgundy snapback on backwards and she wandered why he'd have it on in the first place, it was hot and it was inside.
1 INT: BAR- NIGHT 1
Stuffy work environment, peak hour and GIRL is making a few orders
A boy whom looks young approaches.
BOY
Two draught schooners please.
GIRL
(LOOKS HIM UP AND DOWN)
ID please.
BOY
Nahhhh C'mon, don't do that.
I get that a lot. Can I see
your ID, you don't look old enough
to work in the bar.
GIRL
(ABOUT TO GET ID)
Okay fine by me.
BOY
(SIGHS)
Fiiiiiine.
(SHOWS ID)
GIRL
hahahaha...you just make it.
Lucky.
2. INT: BAR- NIGHT 2.
GIRL notices BOY comes up again and she serves him again. They just smile
at each other. BOSS takes over order as GIRL has to make a coffee instead.
GIRL
(JOKING)
Be careful, he is just a kid.
BOY
Hey, I'm older than you!
GIRL
(Laughing)
By what six months, big deal!
Boy is laughing as he goes off with his schooners.
3. INT: BAR- NIGHT 3.
BOY comes up a few more times where GIRL has questioned if he can handle
the next round. They playfully banter and flirt a little until a time when he comes up and
another person serves him.
BOY
(JOKING)
OHHHHHHH....
I wanted her to serve me.
Though you are also pretty cute.
GIRL
hahahaha...I'll take the compliment
BOY
What did you say?
GIRL
Nothing at all.
(Sweetest smile)
BOY
Yeah that's what I thought.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah you're reallll funny.
GIRL
I know. I'm a funny person.
Boy goes off with order, leaving GIRL blushing and smiling. He is soon to return.
GIRL
What do you want now?
BOY
I need to ask a question.
Don't get too carried away.
GIRL
(RAISES EYEBROW)
I'm not. I'm just curious.
Go on...
BOY
What's your name?
GIRL
My real name?
BOY
Yeah and don't lie to me hahaha
GIRL keeps doing orders and thinks about this question, she never gives out her real name at work.
BOY
Are you gonna just leave me hanging.
GIRL
My name is....
BOY
NAHHH...you're lying.
GIRL
Nope (LAUGHS) its the truth.
3. INT. FRONT OF HOUSE- NIGHT 3.
GIRL is coming back from a toilet break. BOY sees her and smiles.
BOY
(TO FRIENDS)
This is her!
GIRL
Mmm...hi.
FRIEND 1
What's your name?
GIRL
I already told him. It wasn't a lie.
FRIEND 1 asks where she is situated and they all try guessing the areas which they aren't even close.
BOY tells her to add him on FB but she just laughs walking off getting back to the bar.
4. INT. BAR- NIGHT 4.
It is getting late, people are leaving and GIRL is cleaning up the bar. The BOY asks
to be served by her. She goes up and asks what does he want.
BOY
Do you have pockets in those things?
GIRL
(SMILES AND CONFIDENTLY PUTS OUT HER HAND)
BOY
(HANDS HER SMALL PAPER)
Don't open it until you finish work.
They say goodnight and she goes back to work, curious as to what it will say even though she is pretty sure it is his number. When she gets home they start texting. It was such an unexpected twist into her pretty ordinary day. Something little that made her quite content.
