Jordan P.

I had been searching all over San Francisco looking for this limited edition Deadpool Volume comic to add to my collection. I've been to 2 comic book stores and no luck. I'm about to try my luck with one more store. Mission: Comics and Art, In hopes that I'm able to find what I'm looking for. 

I walked inside of the store walking up to the clerk to asked about the comic. 

"Hey man, I came in to see if you guys had the Deadpool All New X-Man Limited Series Vol. I in stock by chance." I asked the guy at the register. 

"Uhh let me run to the back and check. It may take me about 10-15 minuets, so you can look around if you'd like." He said to me. 

"Alright, sounds cool to me." I replied and begin to walk around and just see if there was something else that would spark my interest. 

While I was on one of the aisle browsing through the Archie Comics, I just so happened to look over and see a girl sitting at a table reading a Jurassic park comic. While I could only see her side profile, the way the sunlight was hitting her brown skin and hair was very..... angelic, that's the way I could describe it. I guess she felt my stare because she looked up right into my eyes and sent me a beautiful smile. I returned her smile and went back to flipping through the comics. 

"Hey my man, I didn't see any, but I'd say check back with us in the next few days and we should get an inventory truck with a few on them." I heard the clerk say walking up to me. 

"Thanks man, I appreciate you looking for me." I said. 

I made my way off the aisle continuing to look around. I didn't drive to 3 different stores just to leave empty handed. As I looked around, I couldn't help but allow my eyes to wonder back to the beautiful girl sitting at that table. She was now looking through some more comics that sat in front of her. I don't know what It was, but I loved how engaged she was with the comics. 

I made my way out of the store after checking out with a random comic, sighing as I would have to wait until later this week to find the comic. 

2 Days Later 

It was now Wednesday, and I was making my way back to the comic book store to check on their inventory for the comic. I walked Into the store and the atmosphere was soft and mellow. Sunflower by Post Malone rang throughout the store. I didn't see anyone at the register, so I walked around the store trying to find someone to help me out. Walking past the same aisle I was one 2 days ago I saw the same girl again. Sitting in the same spot, reading a comic. What stuck out was the comic she had been reading, The Deadpool limited edition one I've been searching for. 

I make my way over to where she had been sitting, as I got closer I started to get nervous and I didn't understand why. 

"Umm, excuse, hi how are you?" I asked once I was at the table she occupied. 

She dropped the comic down and lift her eyes towards my direction. I swear I felt my heart skip a beat when her brown eyes connected with me. 

"Hi, I'm good, how are you...?" She trailed off, I believe wanting to know my name. 

"Oh I'm sorry, allow me to properly introduce myself; I'm Jordan." I said reaching my hand out for her to shake.

She shook it hesitantly before responding, "Y/N, nice to meet you Jordan." She said. 

"I do apologize for interrupting your reading, I just really love the Deadpool comics and was wondering where'd you get yours from. I've been searching all over San Francisco's comic book stores for that specific copy." I said to her.
