The Distance Between us

Chapter 4: Adrian

~Playlist~
Before I fall asleep I always picture what it would feel like to fall asleep in your arms. It's possibly the best feeling in the world.

I got to the bookshop and looked around.  It was old; not like a rundown old, but like a cozy old. Just the way I like it.  I'm not sure why it felt cozy in here. Was it because it had fuzzy chairs next to the window?  Or was it because it looked like a cabin?

I felt like I was in an ancient or historical bookshop.

It felt like home.

Not many people were inside.  Good.  At least I know I can take a bit longer than expected.  It usually takes me 30 minutes to find a book. Most of the time I didn't know what I was looking for. I couldn't find the book so I saved my self some time by asking the girl at the counter.

"Excuse me."

"How can I help you?"

She can speak English?

     "Do you have any book suggestions?" She started thinking and walked right away. It is rather a small book store so I'm guessing she is the only one working here. The girl pointed to some book cases explaining what they are. When she was done I thanked her gratefully and started looking at the shelves.  I wasn't going to let her tell me the specific one. What fun would that be?

I started separating the books in Spanish and the ones in English. I can read Spanish I just wanted something in English. I finally picked out the book. It was an old book with poems in them.

This is my favorite place in Mexico. Sophia hasn't called me yet so I decided to stay for a little while more.

To my left there was this one window that was halfway open and had a candle next to it. Next to the window was a fuzzy chair.

     "Woah." The chair was so soft. My hand was relaxed as I ran my hand over it.

I felt like I was in some fantasy. Seriously it was so soft and beautiful.

Bam

I was startled, making me turn around. I immediately froze as I stared into a pair of blue eyes.

He was.... around my age.

     "Sorry about that." He said in a clear Spanish accent, looking away picking up his books.  He straighten himself and had his hand out to shake. 

Of course me being a weirdo I just stood there admiring his eyes.  Shake his hand! I thought to myself, but I couldn't I felt like I was paralyzed.

He later cleared his throat and said,"I'm Adrian. And you are?"

Again I couldn't move. What is wrong with me? A few seconds later I finally snapped out of it and replied saying,"Valerie. Nice to meet you."

     I tried looking at his face but he covered his face pretty well with a scarf.  So I tried to see his other features but he was well covered with all the clothes he was wearing.

     Adrian went back to put the books away. I couldn't tell if I like him or I'm just overwhelmed of what just happened, but I know one thing for sure. He is cute. Even I couldn't deny that.
