You walk into your favorite book and tea shop, you don't know why this ones your favorite, it's totally not the hot owner of the store. You always come in the store wether it's because you just finished your book and you need the next one ASAP, you need a quite place to study or you just want some tea, it's a great place.
You just finished the second Harry Potter and needless to say you were in LOVE with the books and needed to get the next one. You walk up to the owner and smile up at him 'god he's so tall' you think as he smiles back "hey Lenora, what's up?" He asks as you show him the second book "finished it already?" He asks and you blush a little and nod
"Yeah, they're so good!" You say and he smiles and you head to the shelf and put the book next to the first one and look for the third but it's not there, you walk up to Sam "hey uh Sammy?" You say and he smiles "yeah Lenora?" He asks and you blush a little bit
"Do you have the third book? I looked on the shelf and it wasn't there" you say and Sam types 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' into his computer "hmm looks like someone checked it out" he says and you frown
"Hey cheer up bucko, I can order another one and it'll be here by tomorrow" he says and you smile "really?" You ask and he nods "I only do this for my favorite customers" he says and you blush "thanks Sam" you say and as you head out he hands you a cup of tea "for the road" he says and you take it and try to ignore the warmth that blooms up your arm as your hand touches his. You walk out and notice you have a text from your friend
'Did you get prisoner of Azkaban yet?-T'
'No, the shop didn't have prisoner of Azkaban in stock tho so Moose ordered another copy -L'
'Isn't it strange that his only copy of that book was taken out right after you finished the second one?-T'
You stop for a second
'Tara do you have something to do with this-L'
'.... Maybe-T'
'DAMMIT TARA- L'
'It's the only way I could get you two to have an actual conversation- T'
You sigh but she's right, you never said more than a sentence to him before. When you get to your apartment you text her back
'Alright but don't meddle with my love life again-L'
You say as you look around for Tara you find a note on the fridge
'Went out with Gabe, probably wont be back tonight... maybe you should invite Sam over
Love ya -Tara'
You sigh and shake your head 'maybe next time' you think to yourself as you pull out some snacks and sit down and turn on the tv. You decide to rewatch Sherlock, it's been awhile since you've watched it last. You fall asleep during the second episode. Your phone wakes you up when you get a phone call
"Hello?" You ask, still a little groggy
"Hi L, sorry did I wake you up?" You hear a familiar voice ask
"Nah, it's fine, what's up?" You ask as you get up and stretch
"The books back in, someone returned it last night" Tara says and you stop
"Dammit Tara!!" you say as you start to get dressed
"You'll thank me when you get there" she says and you sigh "sure I will" you say as you put on your makeup. You say goodbye and head out.
When you get to the store you head right to the isle that the Harry Potter books are in and you find the book but, there's one small problem it's on the tallest shelf. You try (and fail) to reach it and sigh you know Tara had something to do with this. You walk up to Sam "You here for the book?" He asks and you sigh
"That's why I'm here, but some jerk put the book too high for me to reach it..." you say, slightly embarrassed, he smiles and chuckles
"Need me to go get it?" He asks and you nod, blushing a little, he smiles and you two head to the shelf and he easily grabs it, causing you to blush more
"Thanks sam" you mumble and he smiles
"No problem L, hey... I don't know if I'm reading into this too much but would you like to go on a date with me?" He asks anxiously rubbing his neck and you freeze
"I-I'm sorry I read too much into it... I'm so sorry you're gonna get free tea for life, if you still come here... oh I hope you do-" you cut him off by pecking his lips
"You didn't let me answer ya big lug... of course I wanna go on a date with you"
You say, blushing softly and he smiles, blushing best red
"A-Alright!"
He says happily and you smile, you take a pen out of your purse, take his hand and scribble your number on it along with 'call me <3' he looks at it and smiles a bright smile. After that you have many double dates and regular dates and you live happily ever after.
