The following day was the same, wake up, shower, then get dressed. I choose leggings again with my work shirt and put my hair into a bun. Typically I'm not a makeup person, so I don't worry about wearing any. Maybe it's the fact I'm too lazy to put it on. Slipping on my shoes, I grabbed my purse, along with my phone and made my journey to work. Today I was working a double shift since we were short-staffed. That didn't bother me though, I could always use the extra money.
Arriving at work, I noticed it was exceptionally busy for some reason. We got busy from time to time, but never this busy. I was trying to keep an eye out for anyone who may be Prince Charming, but I was too swamped with work.
By the time things did slow down, it was already 6:30 and it was time for me to clock out. The good thing was, I didn't have to work tomorrow so I could sleep in and be lazy. As I was clocking out, another note was sitting in the same spot as yesterday. A smile automatically made its way onto my face.
As soon as I made it into my apartment, I took my shoes off and went straight to reading my letter.
Silver-Haired Beauty,
Once again you looked perfect, and once again I didn't get to sit at one of your tables. Maybe next time. Today, I was able to hear your voice and hear your laugh and it was music to my ears. I know I sound like one of those cliche romance guys, but I guess that's who I am. My mother always said to follow your heart and don't be afraid to show your feelings. My mother is a wise woman and I always took what she said seriously. Now I'm rambling on in this note and sound like a girl, in which I am not. But a little about myself is, my favorite color is red. I'm a dog lover and I work at a big company. I hope I can know a little about you some time, but until then I'll see you around.
Yours truly,
Prince Charming
P.s. Sorry, it's short. I could write you more, but work is calling xoxo
After I read the note, I concluded that I wasn't sure about what to think of this guy. Maybe I should respond to his note and leave it in the same spot as his. I could always end up with a friend. So grabbing some paper and a pen, that's what I did for the rest of the night.
Prince Charming,
You're still a mystery to me and I think that's what excites me. I really hope you aren't some creepy old man. If anything, maybe we can be friends?
Thank you for the compliments, no one has told me those before. A little about me is my favorite color is blue, I also like dogs, but I like all kinds of animals and you already know I'm a waitress. Not a high paying job, but it works for me and pays my bills for now. But anyway, I hope I get to finally meet you one day, but until then, I'll be looking forward to your notes.
Yours truly,
Silver-Haired Beauty
P.s. What do you like to do for fun?
I labeled the letter to Prince Charming and sealed it up. Before I got too comfortable, I decided to head back to work and drop off the letter in case I was too late tomorrow. Once the note was dropped off, I went back home and heated leftover pasta. After eating, I cleaned up the few dishes I had and went to bed. These longer shifts wore me out.
The next day, I didn't wake up until noon, it was nice sleeping in for a change. When I finally got up and moving around, I ate some food, then put some music on the stereo, and got busy doing my cleaning. I try not to let it get too messy for one person, but sometimes I get lazy, I mean who doesn't. The most I had to do was dust, sweep, and mop.
