Fallon

Chapter 7: Confused

I watched as the clock on the dash board changed from a one to a two. Time was moving by so slowly.The clothes were folded, the tables were organized and cleaned. I had wiped everything down. With twenty minutes left on my shift I Patiently watched the door. The chimes rang as a customer came in.
"Hey welcome to Inclusive." Tyler walked through the clothing to get to the front desk.
"Hey Fallon. I didn't know you worked here." His green eyes were like purified emeralds that sparkled when he talked.
"For about a year now," I said cockily. I leaned over the counter balancing on the pads of my feet. He smelled like spicy gingerbread and cedar. I found myself imagining what it would be like to be held by him. Nothing romantic.. I'm just super fucked up right now, and could honestly use a hug.

"Rachel said i might find you here." A puzzled look crossed my face. Rachel? Why did she send Tyler to meet me..
"I hope you don't mind that i asked. I just needed a favor." Tyler's smile was soft and inviting. I saw why everyone fell at his feet. He held himself at a neutral level making him accessible. His body shifted as he jumped on the counter. I raised my body, and slid up there with him.
"you were looking for me?" His eyebrows raised as if my question was rhetorical.

"Why? Is that weird?" His furrowed brow softened to reveal his kind eyes. I was definitely not his type so surely you could see my confusion.
"No i just.." Tyler grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers. His eyes smiled from behind his messy strawberry blonde hair. My mind had brought me back to when i first met him. The small nerd in 10th grade who just wanted to be loved. My stomach fluttered at the what ifs for back then, but we were older now. Things had changed.

"I want to take you on a date. That is if you'll let me." I stood in a trance of disbelief as his words left his lips. Tyler normally went for women two to three years older. Which i guess is ok considering his looks allowed him, and he's nineteen so he's legal.
"What did you have in mind?" My eyes met his as he scooted closer leaving little to no room between us. His face was inches from mine. I could feel the rhythms of his breaths on my lips.
"Guess you'll have to find out. Tonight at 7?" His kind smile became a sensual look as i nodded yes. Normally I would've said no, but Tyler was different. My brain still saw him as the nerdy boy, but my eyes saw a man who had went through change. His arms had grown muscle where bones use to show. He had the body i only dreamed about being against. Plus it wasn't like i had a chance with anyone else. He loosened his grip on my hand, and left. I had a permanent smile etched on my face as i watched him leave. I could feel heat surface on my cheeks, and soft butterflies twirling in my stomach.

"Welcome to inclusive!" I saw tony walk up. His smile seemed to be like mine, so naturally i assumed him and Rachel Just spent time together. She did that a lot when he worked.
"Oh hey Tony." Memory's of the theatre popped up in my head as he held out his arms.
"Hey. I brought these for you." In his hands were a simple brown bag, and a cup of coffee. I reached out to gab them brushing my fingers on his hand. I felt knots form in my stomach as the thought of his body clashing on mine entered my mind.

    "I figured we could go on a walk? If your free that is." His voice grew soft as he spoke. It was like he was shy or embarrassed or something. I could feel my face get hot as reminisces of my fantasy replayed in my head.
"I get off in five if you can wait." The flutters grew stronger as he touched my shoulder. Chills over took my body as he nodded yes, and walked off to a different section. I clocked out while grabbing my bag from behind the counter.
    "Ready," I said as i adjusted my strap. My mind raced as i tried to remember he was like a brother, and nothing else. We sat on the bench across the street.

    "I know you haven't eaten Fal. Go head take a bite." My stomach growled as i took out the little brown bag he had given me earlier. I opened it up to find a rich blueberry muffin. My favorite kind. I tore off the top and held out the bottom half.
    "Do you want the bottom? I only eat the top." Tony Cocked his head a smile. I took a bite and damn near had an orgasm. The blueberries were juicy and full of flavor. I felt their sweet nectar fall down my face. The muffin top was hot and moist leaving me no other option but to stuff the entire thing in my gaping mouth.
