Trouble in Paradise

Char's POV
Okay, why am I so nervous? It's just work, we'll just be working side by side...together.... all day.....all summer.

NBD!!! Right??

Okay if you haven't found out already I'm talking about Mike. I'm currently waiting at the gift shop for Mike to give me instructions on what to do. And I'm freaking out. This doesn't happen to me. He's just a boy. A very sexy one might I add but I don't get nervous with boys. Why is it so different with him?

"Hey Char" a voice I've become familiar with says behind me as I turn around and face the guy who's making my heart go as fast as Selena moved on from The Weekend. That was pretty fast.

#Jelena though

I know this all sounds cheesy and I don't do cheesy but I'm being completely honest with you guys right now. I don't know why he makes me feel this way. I just don't know. Well apart from him being sexy as hell, what else could it be?

"Hi Mike" I say smiling back at him. After a few seconds of just staring at each other, he looks down and smiles to himself. Gosh that smile.

"Umm, if it's okay with you, you'll be working behind the counter, scanning items, talking to customers, asking them if they found everything all right and whatnot"

"Sure I can do that. I'm a people person" I say smiling proudly.

"Yes you are" Mike says with a short laugh.

Damn it, stop being so sexy.

A few hours later and I think I'm doing pretty well. The customers seem to like me, so that's good. But I'm really tired and exhausted. I probably should've had a proper breakfast this morning. I underestimated how hard this was gonna be.

"Hey, maybe you should take a break. You've been working and standing all morning. You've been great Char." The sexy homo sapien says behind me. 

"No no, I'm gonna keep working. I need this and I'm not gonna slack off. Thanks though" I say tiredly with a yawn.

"You're really great. You know that right?" Mike says at me smiling and I'm currently trying to keep my cool. It's no big deal, he just called me great twice in ten seconds. No big deal guys. Chill guys!! It's not a big deal.... so then why am I internally riding a rollercoaster?

"I've been told" I say trying to sound cool. Always a wrong choice.

Mike laughs "Really humble too"

Now I'm laughing. Gosh, he's such a cutie.

The laughter dies down and we're just looking into each other's eyes and Mike runs a hand through his hair, flexing his muscles and I think I saw him biting his lip.

But it's obviously my imagination.... right?

I smile awkwardly and I'm probably in my tomato state again like Haze would say as I shift my gaze to his lips for a split second and look back at his eyes to see him standing a bit closer to me.

Or is it just my imagination?

Okay now he's leaning in.

Definitely not my imagination.

Would you look at that, I'm leaning in too, well...that's just great.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't heaven right?

Wait it's real life?

He's so close to me now that our noses are touching. He leans in a little bit more and boom!!
