After the school ended. I decided to visit a nearby library to look for a job and also to join the membership

I had googled about the store a few days back when I recently moved here

The store's name was 'Leaping Windows'

When I entered the library it felt like  I was entering a dream. I could see bean bags there near the shelves and a small cafe at the end of the bookstore

It was a bit different from our typical bookstore it was a cafe/bookstore

This made me very very happy..................................

What!! I love coffee and books 

They are my heart ............

At the reception, a boy of my age was standing

I am guessing his age by the way

He is good-looking but not as handsome as Aiden

God! Why the hell am I comparing?

What is wrong with me ?!

I entered the store and asked him.

" Excuse me, I am looking for a job, I saw the post online so.."

"Yeah we need one more person for the other shift"

"What shift?"

"5 to 8 in the evening"

"Oh I can take it !" the timing perfectly fits into my schedule.

"Cool, now it is 3.30, can you start today?"

"Sorry, I need to inform you at home first but I can join from tomorrow if you don't mind" I was hoping he wouldn't mind I wanted this job...

"Is it fine to join from tomorrow?" I asked again.

"Okay" yes!!!!! I did a mental dance there and then. But I suddenly I was curious about something so I asked him........

"Don't mind me but should I not talk with the owner first?" I mean he was just my age and maybe he was also a part-timer too, I guess so.......

"No, the store is mine"

"huh?" the store is what........

"My family owns it, it is a side business, and my mom handles it but I am allowed to make such a decision" Oh now it does make sense.

"Oh sorry"

"It's fine I understand "

"What is your name by the way?"

"I am Carter King and yours ?"

"Myself Dale Malcolm"

"Nice to meet you"
