Promises...

One cloudy day in Manchester, it was cold and the raindrops were hitting my window I prepared hot chocolate to warm up, I stood in front of the window to drink my hot chocolate and a thought came to my head... Jean the most handsome boy in the university kissing my lips near the lockers! That day I became his girlfriend... Already today we have been dating for exactly two years...

He loved me as much as I loved him so we decided to get married when they finally approve his architecture project, I for my part work in a canteen just as a waitress! to pay for my studies! I study architecture too but I'm in my third semester...

I'm 19 years old

Scarlett Johnson.

and Jean is 25

Jean is about to graduate and he is at the top of his class! He doesn't like my job very much, but he understands my economic situation is the same as his with the difference that he has a university scholarship and I pay for my studies, however, everything between us is going very well I live alone in a small flat that I pay for with my friend Lucia, she only comes to sleep and leaves very early in the morning...!

My mother left when I was only 2 years old I don't even remember her face then my father died when I was 12 years old and I lived with the nuns in the convent of Manchester until I came of age thanks to mother Celeste I studied and had a roof over my head until I turned 18 and that's how I sum up my life I have a year paying for my flat, my career and my things thanks to the good tips they leave in the canteen! My shift starts at 5 pm and ends at midnight Jean always goes to pick me up on his motorbike and drops me off at my flat, but that only happened until today... I felt the door open and I turned around and he had the keys to the flat because due to lack of time, we could only see each other here in the morning before leaving for university...

"Hello, my love..." I ran to his arms and clung to him like a little girl... he hugged me very tight and then he smiled at me...

"HAPPY TWO YEARS my love!" he said to me... putting on my wrist a bracelet with two initials, J and S

Jean and Scarlett that's my name I got very excited and kissed it.....

"It's perfect..."

"I have something to tell you..."

His eyes clouded over immediately and I took his face in my hands...

"What's the matter?" I asked without looking away...

"My project has been approved and I have to go to Birmingham for 2 years..."

I felt that my world was falling apart...

"I have to leave tomorrow!"

My eyes clouded over and my tears started to fall on my face!

I found no comfort in his embrace! He also just cried beside me and said...

"Two years will pass quickly and we can get married! just promise me that you will wait for me..."

"Jean I don't know if I can take it!"

"I know it's hard for both of us! But I'll earn money and I'll come back and we'll get married and you can graduate in that time then our lives will be better and you won't have to work in the canteen anymore, it will only be 2 years and I promise..."

"You better not promise anything..."

I ran out of the flat and into the rain that was getting stronger and stronger... I felt his hands embrace me and we cried in the rain making a promise to each other to wait for the time to be able to unite our lives and meet again...

That was the saddest day of my life and today a month after his departure I only study and work hard not to be sad all the time...

Most of my day I'm in the canteen... Lucia worked there as well as me, we both waited tables and served from the bar, we mostly took turns... the cantina was very frequented by men with a lot of money and power they arrived in luxurious cars and most of them were accompanied by bodyguards our boss Williams he didn't allow any of us girls to be disrespected of course there is always a girl who flirts with one of those millionaires but I only think about Jean day and night...

"DAMP....." I bumped into someone and knocked the drink I was about to pour over his suit. ....

"I'm sorry!"

"Stupid girl did you see what you did!"

"I'm sorry let me help..."

"Don't touch me, get your filthy hands off of me!"

He looked at me and for a moment he frowned. He looked me in the eye and had a look full of hate but I am not intimidated by this man at...

"Can I help you dry your suit?"

"Help me by getting you away from my little girl..."

He pushed me out of the way and I fell sitting next to Lucia who helped me up...

"Are you alright?"

"Yes thanks! I don't know what happened to me, I was distracted..."

"I know! I saw everything... you must be more careful..."

"I know, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to me..."

"At least Williams didn't notice it..."

"Come on, I'll help you with this!"

Lucia helped me to pick up the glass that was left all over the place...

Lyon Smith...

Lyon Smith...

"Idiot girl! I don't understand how they let such useless people work here..."

"Sir, if you want I'll talk to the owner of this dump right now so they can fire that careerist, she probably jumped on you to see if she could get your attention... that has already happened several times with other opportunists..."

"no need Javier now I have more important problems to solve ..."
