Capítulo 2: A Friendly Face
Ouch. As many times as we fall that is always our first thought and now is no exception. 'I never thought all that running around would be usless but if these boxes it the floor it will be.' I think as I try grabbing the boxes in mid air. As I fall on the ground with three of the boxes in my hand like a tray, I can't help but wince at the prospect of having to go get the items a second time.
"Sorry about that I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings."
looking in front of me I see a woman with a concerned look on her face.
"It's alright I probably should have taken two trips to get everything."
I look toward where the boxes should be spralled all over hopefully some of it is salvagable but to my surpise they are all in a pile neatly stack by size.
"I tried to save as many as I could luckily the only three I couldn't get are the three you have."
"Mara! Are you okay?!"
Following the voice I see a orange haired woman running up
"Yeah I'm fine." the woman in front of me called out.
"Hey, Emily go on ahead. I'll help this man with these boxes and come in a little late." Although glad for her, help I didn't want this woman getting an earfull at work because of me.
"It's alright. If your going to be late then you should go ahead." I say with a half hearted smile "It's okay I'll get yelled at even if I'm on time." she says picking up the pile of boxes. I can't quite tell if that was a joke or not but if it wasn't her job sounds terrible.
"Then I thank you for the assistance its just a few blocks away." Somehow I feel very at ease with this woman even though we've just met.
"Well if it's only a few blocks then I shouldn't be late if we hurry. I'm Mara as you may have heard from my friend who went on ahead. I feel that if we are going to spend a few moments together, and work in the same area, you may as well know my name."
'Well she has some nice manners.' I think genuinley glad at her introduction
"Well nice to meet you Miss Mara. I'm Shawn those are very good manners you have there." I say as politely as I can.
I hear her chuckling a little
"Well as do you Mister Shawn. By the way you can drop the 'Miss' although polite, I feel very old when you say it"
'What a nice woman' I think smiling. 'If she only worked at my new job I would be very happy if the staff were as nice as her.'
Standing in frontnof the building I would be working at for the next year I turn to take the other boxes from her
"Well this is it I trust that if you work around here we will meet again."
All the sudden she grinned a very mischevious smile
"Why I'm sure we will." I don't know what to think of that sentence. "Well I guess I'll head off to work then Mister Shawn." she said walking in the building with the boxes in her hand "See you when you come inside."
I smile as I open the door. If she does work here maybe this won't be as bad as I thought. What kind of adventure is waiting for me inside this building?
