Apparently I Know You #Wattys2019

Chapter 2

Munira's POV
     I ruffled my tousled hair messily.It's been a long day and it's only almost 12pm.When will the pain possibly end? I opened my silver heart-shaped locket,staring at a very a pretty redhead,Autumn Shears.She was my only best friend and it was her birthday today.She was supposed to be 17 years old,my mind wandering back to when we were 14 and playing in the rain...

Donny Clark-Box of socks [Delivered]
   Samantha Pat-Tea candle set [Delivered]
   Ruby Jóse-LED fairy lights [Not delivered]
   ...
   I quickly jot down whatever deliveries that were completed or still pending,making sure to leave a message for a nearby delivery guy to come collect the necessary items.
Just then,a large shadow of a figure loomed over the counter.
Oh my-

   My eyes glanced up to meet a gorgeous pair of steely blue ones,the colour of rich sapphire with tiny specks of grey glistening in them.Those snowy pools were like the waves of the deepest ocean,dancing and crashing beneath the sunset.

     I gulped,there was something eerie about his eyes.I could still feel his penetrating gaze as I scanned his item,trying to avoid drowning in those icy whirlpools again.I thrusted the bag to his chest so he could quit staring and go.It was kinda distracting.
He didn't even make an effort to move but his eyes roamed my body instead.
Ok that's it.

I slammed my hands on the counter,failing to emit a loud thud thanks to my oversized fluffy jumper covering my hands.
Well there goes my chance of acting bold.

"Staring won't give you the power of seeing through my clothes you know."
I remarked,crossing my arms on my chest.

His lips curled into a playful grin and his stormy eyes held mischief.He had lustrous brown curls that reminded me of Cadbury chocolate bars,his eyelashes were thick and dark,casting a shadow on his cheekbones.His face was defined,his features molded from granite.His eyebrows were dark and arched highlighting his almond-shaped eyes.His perfect lips were ripe.A light stubble lined his chiselled jaw making him look really manly.

"I'm more of a cut to the chase kinda guy.If you were lucky,your clothes would have been on the ground already."
  "Aaaww...What can I do to change that?"I countered monotonously before rolling my eyes.
Awkward silence...

I peeked at him making sure he wasn't staring at me again.His head was bowed to the ground,randomly twirling the strings of his hoodie.
"You're cute."He teased in a low voice.
"And you're annoying.Here.Take it and leave."I thrusted the bag to his chest once again.

"That is no way right to treat a polite customer,Miss.Miss Munira is it?"
Bending to the counter,he tucked both his fists under his chin.His eyes never once moved away from me.

"How do you know my name?"
"I usually know names of pretty girls"
He winked.
The son of a gun winked.I'll tell him!
   "Thank you for the compliment,but it takes pretty to know pretty."
An innocent smile was playing on my lips.
   "Are you normally this feisty?"
   "Not really.Don't you have someone else to disturb?"
"Well, they say marriage is finding that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life."
  "Ok Casanova.Don't you have a job or a hobby?"

He muttered a curse under his breath and spun his head in the direction of the new construction site right across the store.They were going to build Rosewood Town's Railway Station.Did he work there?

"I actually do have a job to get back to right now."
"Wait,are you working at that site?"
"Interested now are we?"
I frowned at him and went back to my delivery list,he wasn't worth my time anyway.Turns out,his job didn't matter to him as he was still rooted there.
