--------------

I'm tired. I'm worn out. I want to sleep. One more hour. An hours a long time though. 60 minutes. There's 60 seconds in a minute. So that's like 3,600 seconds. And don't even get me started on milliseconds. I wonder what comes after milliseconds? It it like triple seconds? Huh wait no maybe-

I'm taken out of my thoughts when someone clears their throat.

" Oh sir I'm so sorry I was just uh- " I laughed clearing my throat this time " what would you like sir? " I say smiling

I look up. The boy. Yes him. Of course it is. The one I've now seen 3 times in this city. Why is he always here. Everywhere I go? The beautiful green eyed boy.

" well I'm sorry to interrupt my order but I just can't wrap my head around something." He says cocking his head to the side

Oh yeah I say " and what is that ?"

Well he says bringing his pointer finger up gesturing me towards him with a confused look on his face.

I move in a little closer. " what? " I whisper

You see that man he jerks his head gesturing to a man behind us. I move my head over to look. " that man?" I ask pointing to him.

" SHHHH." He yells pushing my finger down. He seems flustered and I couldn't help but let out a laugh.

I come closer to him again " what about him? " I whisper

" I think he likes me."

I couldn't hold it in. I laugh at how cute yet ridiculous he sounds.

" what?!?"

" stop laughing at me, I have proof and he's starting to scare me. He winked at me and handed me a napkin. And guess what was on that napkin!"

" I don't know a - "

" Yes! His number. His NUMBER! So I mean I did the only reasonably responsible thing any intelligent man would to. "

" oh because I mean you must be all of those things." I smile

" yes actually thank you for noticing. He leans in, I have really nice hair too. He whispers to me. Pointing towards his hair

" anyway stop distracting me so back to what I did. I simply told him I'm seeing someone. And that I'm waiting for her to be done with work. Actually she's up there working at the register and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop flirting. She can get really jealous at times. You see the blonde right there. Yes her. I'm very sorry but I'd have to refuse to take that napkin. And guess what? He left me alone. So now I'm coming over here to tell you this story which I should probably thank him now because he gave me an excuse to talk to you."

" wow." I say

" My names Harry." He holds his hand out.

" I'm Sc- " I'm interrupted

" it's Uhm Scarlett right? He smiles " I remember you. " he says

" you do? " I slightly smile

" how could I forget? "

I scoot over the counter " so are you gonna buy something now or was walking into this store an excuse to talk to me to?" I whisper

" of course not! Coming in here was an excuse to take you out for dinner after your shift. "

" oh really I say crossing my arms. " how do you know I'll say yes? "

" I don't. He says smirking " a green tea hold the sugar and one fudge brownie to go please he says handing me a twenty.

I give him back his change and I turn around making him his order. Harry. His names Harry. I turn back to catch a glimpse of him. I turn back around grabbing his brownie and hand him his bag.

" one green tea hold the sugar and a fudge brownie to go. Have a nice day sir." I smile

" thank you ." He says curtseying He walks out and I hear the bell go off. Except this time it was different. It wasn't the same bell I hear everyday. It was the sound of hope. The hope I have that he'll make the bell go off again. I smile, taking my apron off, saying goodbye to the workers. I grab my coat and head out. I hear the bell as I leave and I smile.

I can't help but smile. And I don't know how long it's been since I've felt like this.
