Give 'Us' A Chance

CHAPTER 2

It's been 2yrs I have started reading books. In first year, I read many mysterious books like 'And Then There Were None' that book was awesome. Last year, my genre was science fiction and this year I have decided to try romantic novels. 

My first book Tok recommendation was 'Shatter Me Series' I don't know why people are so crazy about it, but I am excited. I reached the bookstore; it was 10 in the morning. I went inside whenever I step inside, I don't know but a different feeling hits me. I asked an old woman working there. 

"Where are the romantic genre novels placed?" She looked at me and gave me a pretty smile and spoke "I love these young men and women reading novels. Come, this side."

She walked me over to a shelf and said, "Here are these." "Ok, thank you."

With that I started to search for that book but before I could I saw a beautiful hand from the corner of my left eye. When I slightly turned a gorgeous woman was moving her beautiful hand over the books and was searching for a particular one.

I think you should not stare at her like a creep.

I am not staring.

It's been too long now stop staring.

"What happened?" huh what 

Buffalo, it's not me but that pretty one.

Oh okay.

WHAT??

"Sorry, wh..what?" I stuttered. Oh god why??

"Uhm actually you were staring at me for way too long now, so I had to ask you what happened?" She said, shit what should I say now?

I don't know

"Uhm no... nothing actually, uhh...sorry." And I shifted my gaze to the book. These books have been helping me from escaping myself from embarrassments for last two years and today also. THANK GOODNESS.

After some time "Excuse me" she spoke. No please, don't speak. I have never seen someone so beautiful I might do something foolish but still I turned towards her. 

"Yes"

"Can you just hand me that book from there actually no worker is here, and my hands can't reach there." She pointed upwards. I saw in that direction and extended my hands towards that side. "Sure, this one?"

"yes" I took out that particular book and saw the title it's the same title as I was looking for. 

"Here" "Thank you so much" she said giving me a sweetest smile.

"My pleasure" I returned that same smile.

With a slight nod she went away and out of my sight but all I could do was stand in same position. Behind me a voice came "Son, did you find the book you wanted"

I turned around only to see the same old woman. "No, I mean yes, I am just" I took one more copy of the same book from that same place "Yes, I got it. I gotta go now." I went to the book counter to buy it also in a hope to see her again, but she was like a butterfly can't be at one place for too long.

I purchased it and made my way to my no, no, to dad's house. After 15 mins walking, I reached there and pressed the bell. When the door opened, I was expecting a maid but there standing was my dad. When did he changed his profession. 

"Ethan"

"Yes dad"

"From where are you coming." I can't tell him because he hates seeing me reading books because he thinks it's a waste of time and I should utilize this time preparing myself for his business. BULLSHIT.
