Every Night Is Another Story

Chapter 2

It’s been a week and half since the blonde came into her bookstore and Becky once again sat in her bookstore with literally no customers. She was also looking at the door constantly. She had no clue why she was waiting for the blonde to come in, but whatever it was, it made time go by so slowly. She tried reading but she just kept looking up at the door after reading one word, she honestly has no idea what has gotten into her but whatever it was, she didn't mind it one bit.

“Hey you waiting for something?”  The redhead was brought back from her mind by her best friend, Paige.

“Sorry, what?” She asked.

“You´ve been staring at the door every five minutes for the last couple of days, so I’ll ask again, are you waiting for something?” The english girl crossed her arms and leaned against the counter.

Becky sighted “A girl came in last week...a new one I mean” A smile plastered on her face at the memory, which didn’t go unnoticed by Paige.

“Ah! does lil’ Becky has a crush?” She nudged Becky with a smirk on her face.

“What? No!” Becky´s eyes widened and shook her head “I mean, she was pretty cute and her face… just wow, she came in looking for a book, I recommended one to her, and she said she’d come back to give me her opinion on it...and well it’s been a week and she hasn’t come back yet” She said, while scraping paint from the old wood counter.

“Just say you know wanna fuck her dude, I’m not judging” Paige said laughing and the coming to a sudden stop.

“Woah! ok, don't get your hopes up but a pretty tall blonde just walked in”

Becky swore she’d get whiplash by how fast she turned her head towards the door “Oh my God” she murmured.

“I’m guessing that’s her and ok… I get it now” Paige whispered behind Becky, “Well… are you gonna talk to her?” she gave a slight push to Becky, which startled the redhead but made her start walking anyways.

“Hi! umm… not sure you remember me...um...you gave me a book like a week ago” The blonde greeted the girl, it was clear she was somewhat nervous she was playing with the hem of her shirt.

“Of course I do! Charlotte right? I always remember the people I make deals with… not that it happens often… but anyways...,how’d you like the book” Becky said smiling, putting her hands in her pockets.

“Oh I loved it! It was brutally honest and so funny, yet besides the comedy some of the stories were so painfully relatable” The blonde said and Becky notices the slight drop of her voice at that comment ‘Interesting’ she thought.

“Yes, is what makes the book a good read, Crosely does a great job at approaching her self-deprecating runs by being both hilarious yet thoughtful”

“That’s right” The blonde answered and the two girls just continued to stare at each other, like in one of those rom coms where the world seems to disappear and only the two of the exist.

“Anyway… I um wanted to give you something as a thanks for the book” The blonde said while reaching into her purse.

“Oh you didn’t have to get me anything, honestly its fine”

“Please, just take it, it’s the least I could do” She pushed the gift on to Becky’s hands, and the redhead could help but feel goosebumps when their hands met, cliche, she knows but it still happened.

Taking the gift she brought it closer to examine it and see what it was, a soft smile appearing on her lips after seeing what it was. “Wizard of Oz book-wrapped pencils” it was a package of 5 pencils wrapped in pages for the Wizard of OZ, it was a very clever, well thought out gift, she loved it.
