Frozen In The Moment. [Emmett Cullen Story]

3. Shortie

I reach the home decor store. Being the only one in the town, it wasn't hard to find. I  open the front door, a bell chimed as I walk in.

A sweet woman looking in her mid 40s, wearing a floral print blouse and blue pants, came into my view.

"How can I help you with? I am Jenny. Welcome to HomeTown" she greets me.

"I am looking for small rugs, and  a small book shelf" I tell her.

"Right this way" she points towards a room

First she took me to the rugs, showing me all different kinds of rugs: soft, fluffy, furry, etc.,  a black furry rug caught my eye. I point towards it and she pulls it out, she spreads it on the floor, by the looks of it, it should cover good amount of floor.

"How much does it cost?" I ask hoping that it's not that expensive and to my luck it wasn't.

"$60"  Jenny's says looking at the price tag.

I ask her to pack it for me.

"Huston!" She screams.

A boy in his late twenties with blonde hair and green eyes with a name tag 'HUSTON' hanging on his gray apron, came from I am guessing is the storage room of the shop.

"Will you pack this?" The boy nods and takes the rug from Jenny's hand and walks towards the other part of the store.

"You said you wanted to see bookshelves as well?"  Jenny taps her fingers on her cheek.

I nod, "Small ones."

"Right this way."

I follow Jenny, this store wasn't IKEA big but it wasn't small either, it is definitely big for a small town.

She showed me different kinds of bookshelves.

Each one of them are so awesome! I am not really able to decide. But some were too big or really small not the perfect size I was looking for.

Then Jenny asks me to follow her and she starts to walk towards a small room where Huston came from. But when we enter the room I realize that this is room is way too far from the word small and I think it was storage.

She points towards a white book shelve in the middle, it has one drawer on each side and two shelves in the middle, it was perfect!

"It's my favorite one" I look at Jenny as she smiles looking at it, she definitely likes it alright.

"I'll take it" I give her a smile and she nods.

She again screams for the boy and asks him to pack it as well.

We go back and Jenny takes me to the cash counter that was near the front door.

The bell chimes, and a tall, built up boy walks in. He had pale skin, short brown-almost black hair, he looks around my age, sporting a smirk on his face.

Suddenly he closes his eyes, taking in the air and then his eyes snap at me. Making my eyes slightly widen. He looks at me in shock.

He has such beautiful golden eyes, I can't take my eyes off of.

Oh he looks good.

Then a blondie steps in, she is as pale as the boy was, flawless skin. She is looking like she is just going to model for Victoria's Secret.

She loops her arms with the boy. I am guessing they are dating, I finally look away feeling ashamed for gawking at a taken man.

"Hey Emmett! Rosalie!" Jenny shouts from behind the counter.

I feel a presence behind me and I slightly look up to see the boy named Emmet is almost hovering over me. He is peeking down at me through his long eyelashes.

I am jealous.

He was so big. Not that 'big', I am referring as in height, you lil dirty kid.

He was really big, compared to me, I was looking like a child who just got separated from her mommy and is about to cry any second.

Emmet nods at Jenny acknowledging her greeting making Jenny smile back, "I'll be right with you, I just need to make this shortie a bill"  making Emmett chuckle.

Shortie?

Hey! I am not that short, I am 5'4. 

Soon the steps faded in other direction and I can't feel any presence behind me anymore.

"So I see you can't carry all of this on your own" Jenny says.

No shit Sherlock.

"So I will get it deliver to your house by tomorrow, so just write down your name, phone number and address"  Jenny continues pointing at a slip.

I grab the pen from the stand and wrote the information down on the paper and hand it over to Jenny.

She starts to read the information, "Oh you are chief's daughter, Tara Swan."

I nod in response.

She starts  to type, I am guessing  the information I just giver her, into the computer and soon I can hear the krrrr noise and the machine popped out the bill, "$115 please", I slip my hand in my back pocket of my black jeans and gave her the two 100 bill, she give me back the change and the receipt. I still have $85 left I can get some more books.

Yes!

I am not a nerd I don't like to study,  it's just that I really love to read novels, especially books by Paulo Cohelo, Agatha Christine and JK Rowling. I like other authors too but these three are my favorite!

"Visit again!"

I nod  "Thanks!"

Hopefully not.

Pff shortie.
