Chapter 2/10

         Isabella awoke the next morning dreading the morning shift was about to work. The mornings in Santo Padre were always hot, Isabella could already feel the hot sun beating through the house. She slipped her work uniform on quickly, and heads towards the front door.
       Isabella could feel the sweat start to bead on her forehead. "Jesus" Isabella curses to herself as she starts her car.
        Once Isabella reaches the gas station, she unlocks the front door and enters. She first flips the open sign over and turns the lights on. Isabella makes her way to the cash register, and checks to make sure everything is in order for the new day.
     Isabella rearranges a few items on the shelf behind her before she bends down to grab her medical textbook. Tomorrow was her final nursing exam and she has to study whenever she can get the chance. She did not want to work at a gas station for the rest of her life.
         Isabella is reading her textbook when she heard the door bell go off, someone was here. She looks up and spots the cute biker from yesterday and secretly hopes he doesn't remember her little trip up of words.
      "Hey Isabella" Coco greets Isabella as he places the energy drink and asks for cigarettes.
      "Uh you know my name?" Isabella says while she raises an eyebrow, Coco chuckles and points to her name tag. Isabella quickly feel the rush of blood going to her face. How did he have this power over her?
          "Oh wow, how embarrassing" Isabella mutters to herself as she rung up the two items Coco had. She tells him the total and he gives her the exact change.
      "Oh and here's a tip." Coco places a ten dollar bill on the counter, Isabella made eye contact with Coco.
     "Why?" She questions Coco who stuffs his hand in his jeans pocket, he pulls a single cigarette out and places it in between his fingers.
     "I saw a nurse textbook, you may need it." Coco responds, a glimmer of happiness in his eyes as he watched Isabella shyly smile, he thought she was stunning.
     "Oh yeah I want to become an ER nurse. It seems so interesting and high paced. I have a test coming up. So who knows if I'll even pass..." Isabella felt nervous, and she could sense she started rambling. She ran her fingers through her brown locks while biting her lip lightly.
     "Oh wow. I-i ramble sometimes. Gosh, I'm just awkward. My apologies sir" Isabella hands covered her mouth, Coco surely made her nervous. But not in the sense of she was scared, he was quite handsome and nice.
    "Do you always apologize so much?" Coco asks her as he opens up his energy drink and takes a sip.  A sly smile appeared on his face.
     "Uh sometimes..." Isabella giggles as she looks down at her textbook, thing to hide the smile.
       "Good luck on your test, I hope to see you soon, Isabella." Coco winks towards Isabella as he pushes open the door. Isabella could help but smile as she kept working on her nursing textbook.
