"Guilty" I respond, God your voice it's so seductive and your not even trying. Imagine if YOU were trying! Just the thought of it has my pants tight.
"Great! I'm for a book, but I can't decide so what would you recommend?"
I hand you one of my favorite books from the genre. Having to hold back a smile when I can see that twinkle in your of how intrigued you are reading the description at the back of the book.
"You know, I might actually get this. It's this type of creepy but interesting I can describe. Thank you"
You smile at me, a smile that can light up a dark room in the middle of the night.
We bond over books and chat, completely forgetting about why you were here. Why I was able to me YOU.
But our time was cut short when I get called over to the counter but shortly after you were next in line.
"Ok, I'm going for it. This better live up to the expectations you set for me"
I chuckle at your statement while you put the book on the table to cash
"Trust me you won't be disappointed"
You hand me the amount and look down at my name tag on my apron
"Joe?"
"Ah yeah, Joe Goldberg but everyone just calls me Joe and you are?" I ask expecting a name but you surprised me
"Call me what ever you like Joe" You pick up the bag I put the payed book in and left.
You smile at me, laughed at my jokes, I want to say you were being nice but I could tell you were flirting with me
I look down at the floor, watching your steps as you leave.
That's when I see my first clue, I wasn't your number or your name but it was a polaroid picture of you.
I knew YOU did this on purpose, it was no accident.
YOU wanted for me to fine you, to make YOU mine.
But at the end of the day, people are the all the same but the question is, are YOU?
