The next morning the sun shone a little too brighter and the birds were singing a little chirpier than usual and the smile on my face was a little too big than I'd had on any other day. Nothing can go wrong today. I'm feeling almost invincible today. Undefeatable. All because of Ben, a voice said at the back of my mind and I didn't bother to correct it because it was true. It was, all due to Ben and our date.
He had been the perfect gentleman after dinner, paying for it- Even though I insisted fully I pay- and dropping me off at my porch and taking a bit extra time at it, there was a moment when he'd leaned in and I had thought he'd kiss me, but he changed his mind at the last minute and kissed my cheek which also had a huge effect on me and had left me looking redder than a tomato and wanting more.
I shook my head to get rid of thoughts of Ben, but when I couldn't, I pushed him and those lovey-dovey thoughts at the back of my mind and jumped in to take a quick shower and changed into a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a white T-shirt that said, 'I Love my life' in glittery cursive written right in the front. I put my hair in a high ponytail and applied a layer of gloss on my lips after applying them I rubbed them with each other so I'd have equal shine on both of my lips and then left, but not before grabbing my keys and phone from the dining table.
The whole way to the store in the cab, my smile seemed to stay in place and when we finally reached the store the smile on my face physically hurt, but I didn't care about it because I was too damn happy.
''Hello, Mr. Rick.''
''Hey Ava, Well don't you look like an absolute doll this morning.''
''Thank you, Mr. Rick. So, which section do I have today?''
''The same, Sweetie.''
''The screws and hammers organizing section? Again?''
''Yes, Ava. You might even enjoy it, Ben is working this week there too.''
The confused look on my face because of him asking me to work in the same section again this week vanished when he mentioned Ben and my smile reappeared. I remember him mentioning to work in that section, guess he actually asked Mr. Rick to give him that section.
Maybe because of you, A voice at the back of my mind whispered.
''Really?'' I asked. Trying to look sullen at the thought of working with him. When internally, I was doing somersaults and cartwheels.
''Yes, Sweetie.''
''Okay.''
I practically skipped towards the storage room where besides, all the still wrapped things were, the work aprons we had worn and hurriedly went to my assigned to my section, the smile on my face was becoming too painful but I didn't care I would be able to see Ben again. Maybe I'd kiss that I should've gotten last night, or maybe I'd just get a kiss on the cheek and a hug. That sounded good too. God, to just be in his strong arms. I shivered at that thought and continued walking but my walk of happiness- which I just invented- was cut short when a nervous and slightly angry-looking Jess magically appeared in front of me.
