I could feel the giant's embarrassment. I could feel it. His cheeks tinted pink, his eyes wide and mouth agape. "I-I...I didn't mean to...I just mean that I, I didn't..." Biting my lip to hold back my smile, "You don't think that I'm beautiful?", I teased.

His eyes narrowed, as though he were mad at himself, and he was slowly shaking his head from side to side, "No! Wait, no! That's not what I...I just, I mean. Fvck!" My stomach fluttered as he brought his hands to his face, in a sign of defeat. I was going to take pity on this adorable giant. The poor man was a stuttering mess. "Mr. Álvaro? It's quite alright. I was simply teasing you, I apologize."

A dark chuckle sounded from behind his hands, "You are apologizing? You? What for, being a beautiful little angel? Red, you never need to apologize to anyone for anything. Especially me." He took a deep breath and slid his hands from his eyes to cover his mouth as he stared at me through narrowed eyes. "You are too innocent for the world that we live in, piccolo. Too sweet and innocent." His words sent a shiver down my spine and I stared at him in utter amazement. This man, this newcomer, this stranger, looks upon me as though I am his own personal angel. "I-I..."

A smile graced his features and caused my stomach to flutter for the second time this morning, "Now look who's a stuttering mess, Red." And just like that, the butterflies were gone and I glared at the overly cocky, gigantic stranger.

Stranger.

I had yet to discover Mr. Álvaro's purpose for entering Ida's Joy.

"What brings you into Ida's Joy today, Mr. Álvaro?", leaning against the counter, I graced him with a gentle smile, "Anything in particular that I can help you with today?"

He was such a handsome man. I found myself wondering about him. Wondering things that I shouldn't. Things that were absolutely none of my stinking business. Things that made my stomach flutter and my toes curl and my cheeks flush. Things that I...that I needed to stop wondering.

I found myself wanting to learn about the gigantic man that stood facing me on the opposite side of the counter. I wanted to know what he did for a living, where he lived, how old he was, if he had any siblings or if he were an only child, was he in a happy relationship or was he a single pringle that was ready to mingle? I found myself wanting to learn him. His life. All of him.

And I had only met him minutes ago.

The clearing of a throat pulled me from my wandering mind, "Red...did you hear me?" Smiling, I tilted my head to the side and glanced shyly at the handsome man. "I'm sorry...what was that you said?" I hope he can't read minds or I'm pooped. A soft laugh sounded from him as he gently smiled down at me. He had the most beautiful smile. I could stare at him for all of eternity and never grow tired.

"I said, I am here about the advertisement in the wanted column of the newspaper. I saw it yesterday morning and tried to come in as quickly as I could, but when I stopped by yesterday afternoon there was a sign on the door saying that the owner would be back in today."

He was here looking for work?

My brows creased and I looked away from him as a small frown made its way onto my lips. He was here looking for work. And that meant that if I gave him this job...he was completely off limits.

I didn't mean to feel this connection to you, Mr. Álvaro. I didn't mean to...
