ᴠᴀʟᴇʀɪᴇ:

It was 11:30 i was almost done with my book but then I heard that ding from the bell telling me to put my book down.

I look up and my eyes widened a bit as i see the guy I saw this afternoon, but he looks angry

He frustratedly opens the fridge where all the beers were i froze, i forgot that Sarah locks them before leaving

He was yanking it trying to get it open i walk over to him but not too close, i was a few feet away.

"Can you open the fucking fridge" he yelled at me, i just stood there frozen.

"HELLO" he yelled to the point that I flinched, he sounded like my father.

Tears form into my eyes as i look down and blink them away, "shit" i hear him mumble

"Look I'm sorr-" i cut him off "no no it's ok" i say as i walk over to get the keys to the fridge "forgive me it's my friend, she tends to forget that I do night shifts" i say as i unlock the fridge door.

He smiles softly at me as he opens it and grabs a drink, i stop him, he looks at me confused.

"Do you have ID" i ask softly, i heard a deep chuckle from him, i look up to see a bright smile from him.

ᴍᴇᴀɴᴡʜɪʟᴇ:

We were sitting down together playing 70 questions.

"So this afternoon, i didn't quite catch your name" he said while looking at his cut up hands.

"Valerie, Valerie Hernandez" i say looking up at the ceiling.

"Valerie" he softly said as he played with his rings.

"How did you get those cuts" i question

"You scared of me" he changes the topic , i look away and say "I'm not sure"

I smile softly and continue playing the game "you do know they are a lot of dangerous people out around this time right" he chuckles

I smile "well it's either we lose business for the night or I come in and work"

" fair" he smiles " do you have any siblings" i ask him, "yes i do, actually my little sister holly" he smiles " you"

I smile as i thought of my precious girl amalia "yes i do a two year old, amalia" i close my eyes thinking of her

"What about your parents" he asked, i froze.

We played the silent game for two minutes and then I decided to speak

"My mother passed away last year, my father has been very very abusive towards me" i say as tears swell into my eyes

I feel his stare burning into me, "i work so hard, just to provide a good life for my little sister" i say as a tear slips

He wipes it off and turns my face towards his "you are a very brave girl" he says looking at me softly

I look at my watch and realise my break is over "it was nice having this conversation" i say as i get up "i thank you but I seriously have to get back to work I'm sorry" as i walk back to the counter

He smiles as he walks out "till we see eachother again ᴀɴɢᴇʟ"
