Walking down the street, I made my way towards the barber shop. Everyone had been out today. By the looks of all the crowds of young children running around, I guessed that there was something going on. A little girl ran into me. She looked at me with big grey eyes and she looked scared. She had had some candy in her hands and it fell so I bent down to help her pick it up. She spoke softly, "M..m..mister you don't have to do that..." I smiled at her, "I know sweetheart, but I was the one that knocked all the candy out of your hands. The least I can do is help you." She smiled at me and bent down also to pick up a piece I had missed.
"Thank you mister!" "You're welcome sweetie. Be careful okay?" She smiled, "Okay." She ran away and caught up with other little ones that I assumed were her friends. I walked a little further up the street and I looked to my right. There was the sign, "The Realm Barber". I smiled and went to the door. When it jingled, I was greeted by another young guy. He didn't look much older than me. He spoke, "So you're Jake? The one that the princess has been talking to us about." I was confused, "You know the princess?" "Haha why yes sir I do. My wife works close with her. Come. You look like you could use a trim." Wife? I wonder who his wife was. He looked at me, "Well, you gonna take a seat man?" "Oh right. Yea sorry." He laughed, "No big deal. By the way, my name is Dominik."
Dominik had been telling me a little bit about this new place I was living in. "Yes sir, this place is called the realm. It doesn't get hot but it does get cold. Everyday is a new adventure and you'll find yourself apart of groups here in no time." He took the clippers and turned it on and started to shave my head. He took off the long parts and left my hair nicely. It was shorter now but long enough to run my fingers through it. I got up, "Dominik, thank you for cutting my hair, but I'm sorry... I don't have.." Dominik cut me off, "No need Jake. It's on the house." I shook Dominik's hand, "Thank you so much, but do you think you can tell me where they are looking for people to hire? I need a job to..." He put a hand up, "No need to finish, here you go." He had handed me a paper that said wanted across it. I took the paper and put it in my jeans pocket, "Thank you Dominik." He nodded his head, "You're welcome."
As I walked out of the barber shop, I pulled the paper out of my pocket and took a closer look at it. It was a want ad for the realm construction company. I read that the last interviews would be today and it would stop at 6. I looked at the town hall clock and saw that it was already 5:30. I didnt have much time. I walked around for a while and found the office that was hiring construction workers. It was 5:50. I had ten minutes to spare!

Savannah's POV
I was outside taking a break. Boy was I tired, being up at 3 in the morning and working was really taking a toll on me. But it was what I wanted to do. I was lost in thought when I heard Sam call me, "Savannah? You have a patient in exam room one." She had a warm smile ans I returned it to her, "okay, I'll be in shortly, Sam. Thank you." She nodded her head and walked inside. I was about to walk inside when Owen called my name, "Savannah!" I turned around to see my good friend and we hugged, "What are you doing here Owen?" He laughed, "I wanted to check on my patients. I didnt want to leave my interns to look after critical care patients." I smiled at him, "Neither would I."
He held open the door open for me and I thanked him. He was walking and crashed into Lauren, my nurse. He fell and I couldn't help but laugh. Ugh! I had such a horrible laugh! But it was funny to see. Lauren and I helped Owen up and they went off. Sam gave me a chart and I read the name, Jake. It was a nice name. I was still kind of laughing when I walked in. I could see his blonde hair and I went to where he was sitting, "Hello... My name is Savannah. You're...?" I got angry at myself. I should have read his chart before talking to him.
When he spoke, he had a deep voice, "It's Jake ma'am." I smiled at him even though I didn't like to be called ma'am. But I let it go and asked, "Could you please remove your shirt?" I could see he was a little nervous but judging at how much blood was on his shirt, he took it off. He put his shirt near him and when I looked up from getting the stitches ready, I saw his body. He had a beautiful body. It had been perfectly tanned and he had abs. He had to have been the...sexist man I had seen. When I looked up at him, I saw how deep his blue eyes were and I blushed. I quickly looked away praying he hadn't seen me but his small chuckle told me otherwise. I cleaned his wound and put stitches on. He held still even though it hurt him a little. When I was finished, I took off my gloves and smiled at him, "Well Jake, you're new here. Why don't we walk around? He smiled back at me, boy was his smile just as beautiful as the rest of him. It was an angels smile. I felt my body start to tingle. I wonder why. I wasn't with Luke. I showed him around the hospital and I led him to the gardens. This was my favorite place to be.
I spoke to him, "I love flowers. They are my favorite." I thought to myself, "how? How could I talk to this man so easily when I could barely even talk to Luke about my day?" And then a voice pulled me out of my thoughts, "Savannah." I saw Jake stare into the distance and i turned too. There walking towards me was my boyfriend Luke. I walked a short distance to meet him halfway. He kissed me and I kissed back. I didn't let him see but made a small face. He had had a beer earlier and I could taste it on his breath. I walked with Luke towards Jake, "Jake, this is my...boyfriend." I looked down at my feet, wow. Could I have said that any more flatly? Jake was polite and looked at Luke. He shook his hand and told him, "It's a pleasure to meet you sir." Luke didn't say a word. How rude! I would have to talk to him about it. I went up to Jake and gave him a hug. He smelled really nice. I pushed the thought into the back of my mind and blushed. Good. Jake hadn't noticed, "Bye Jake. I'll see you around sometime." He hugged me back "Bye Savannah."
I got into the car with Luke and Jamie and two of her friends. They were all talking but my mind went back to Jake. He was so sweet and kind. I spent the whole evening withdrawn from everyone and didn't really talk to anyone. Luke was angry with me. I wouldn't tell him what was on my mind and it bothered him. I took a shower and my mind was still on Jake. How could I be thinking of him when Luke was in the other room waiting for me to get out of the shower. I felt guilty so when I got out of my shower, when Luke was leaving, I kissed him sweetly.
I went to my room and laid down in my bed. It was a little cold tonight so I brought the blankets up close to me. My mind wandered to Jake, what was he thinking about? My eyes shut and I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up early and got dressed. I dressed into a black T-shirt and blue skinny jeans. I put my hair up into a pony tail. I looked at myself in the mirror. I hated my eyes. They were dark brown. Why couldn't my eyes be a different color. I heard a horn honk and I ran downstairs. I jumped into Owen's car. He drove me to work and we walked in together. I had gone straight to work. A child came in with a broken wrist. I put his wrist in a cast. When they left, I had walked out to the café.
When I walked in, everyone said hi to me. I saw Clara and spoke, "Hi Clara. It's nice to see you again." Clara spoke in her southern drawl, "Why hello darling. Go ahead and take a seat. I'll get you the usual." I nodded to her and went to find a seat. I spotted a blonde hair blue eyed boy and it came out kinda loud, "Jake?" I walked to his table and he looked up at me, "Savannah! Hi!" I smiled. He really yelled that out. I saw him blush a little and had to fight back a laugh. He stood up and hugged me. I smiled and answered, "What are you doing here Jake?" He looked at me and seemed a little embarrassed, "Well, I woke up and started to walk and...." I looked at his head. There was a huge bump! Had he been involved in a fight! I cut him off, "How did you get that bump on your head?" I looked at him intently and became extremely worried. He brought his hand to his head to feel the bump and he answered, "Oh! that..." He blushed and I laughed a little bit. He looked so cute. He searched for words, "I got this because...well... i walked into umm...a..." He stopped talking and I replied back, "a???" He blushed a little more, "A pole." I pursed my lips tightly trying not to laugh but it was funny and it slipped out. He blushed and laugh also.
"So you've been getting used to things around here Jake?" I had sat down with Jake and we started talking. I smiled at him and he felt comfortable and spoke, "Sort of... I just wish I knew where the barber shop was. I really need a haircut." I looked at his hair and laughed, "Haha I do agree with you. Actually if you walk down a lite further, you'll find the shop." His blue eyes lit up, "Thank you so much!" I laughed and nodded my head. He laughed also. The time had flown by and we both looked at the clock to see that it was almost two in the afternoon. It didn't bother me. I was enjoying talking to Jake. But we heard the bell jingle to the Café and turned to look to see who it was. Luke had walked in and when he saw me talking with Jake, he wasn't too happy with me. He walked to where i was sitting and turned his direction to me. Not even a hello to Jake. He didn't have to be so rude. He told me that it was time for me to go. I hated when he tried to boss me around.
While Luke was talking to me, I saw that Jake had clenched his fists. I wonder why. When he saw me starting to get up, he was kind enough to stand up like a gentleman. Luke walked out and it was just me and Jake. I walked over to him and smiled and gave him a hug, "It was nice seeing you again Jake. Take care okay?" He had a big smile, "Okay... You too ma'am." I smiled at him and let him know, "Savannah. You can call me Savannah." He laughed but the message was across and he answered back, "Okay Savannah." He walked me out to the car and we said goodbye again and I left with Luke.
