Chapter 25: Gym Class
"Come on girls you got 15 minutes to go take your showers, hustle hustle hustle."
All the girls including me and Lyra run off to the showers very eager to take off these clothes.
Couple Minutes Later...
I say bye to Lyra and head off to my next class, Biology. While walking to class I start thinking about the auction Lyra asked me to be in. Never have I ever been good in front of lots of people. The thing about St. Helena is that everyone and I mean everyone comes out to each event that is hosted so basically the people that I want to avoid I can't because they'll all be there.
I turn the corner of the hall to and accidently bump into a figure. What is with me that I keep bumping into things first a door now a person. This time I don't fall on my butt I just stumble back. Once I get myself all together, I look at the person that I bumped into and it's no other than Myers.
"Hey I'm sorry for bumping into you. I'm just clumsy like that." I tell him while fixing my jacket and readjusting my bag.
He gives me a smile and waves his hands off telling me that it's all right. "You can bump into me anytime."
He says with a smirk on his face.
I blush at his comment and try to contain my smile. "Noted."
"Where are you headed, I'll walk you." He suggests.
"No, you don't have to do that, and won't you be late for your class?" I ask him.
"Yeah, but I'm always late it's not a big deal." I give him a nod that it's ok. He rests his hand on my back to guide me down the hall with him.
"So how has your day been for far?" I curiously ask.
"Just fine really a little bit of pain on my right shoulder, but I'll be fine." He rubs on his right shoulder wincing at the pain.
I give a little pouty face to him and rest my hand on his shoulder. He looks at me with a questionable face taken back at my gesture. I massage his shoulder gently.
"Does that feel better?" I ask him.
"Yeah it actually does. What would I do without you? "He looked down and smiled at me.
"Maybe die in a ditch." We both laugh out loud at my comment.
We talk some more until we reach my biology class.
"Well here's my stop I'll see you later." I tell him as I start to walk towards the door to my biology classroom. He gently pulls me back with his good arm and gives me a quick peck on my lips. He lets go of me and I immediately squirm up.
"What was that for?" I ask him.
"Just felt like it". He said playing with my hands.
"So, what does this make us then?"
"Well I would like for you to be my girlfriend. Would you like that?" He looks me dead in the eyes saying this.
I paused for a second. This would be my first boyfriend ever. I mean he's sweet and nice to me. Also, I think we would last. In that moment I had my answer.
"Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend." I stand on my tip toes and plant a kiss on his cheek. He returns the favor with planting a kiss on my cheek. We say our goodbyes and he head off down the hall and I head to my desk.
I pull out my notebook and pencil and sit it on my desk. I rest my hand on my lips and the other on my cheek. I can still feel his soft lips on mine.
"Welcome class today we will be focusing on Photosynthesis If everyone can flip to last week's notes we will.." I start to zone out of the lecture and daydreamed the whole time.
3 Hours later...
The bell rings indicating that school is finally over. Everyone pours into the hallways and starts rushing out the door. I follow the crowd until I reach the doors to the drive way. I finally reach my car; I throw my bag into the backseat while hoping in the front seat and shutting the door. As I start to put the key in the ignition my phone buzzes. I sit the key down and check my phone, it's Lyra. She's reminded me don't forget to meet her at the diner at 6:00. I send her a quick message telling her I won't forget. Throwing my phone in the seat I pull out of the driveway and head for work.
15 minutes later...
"Hey Ida." I say while walking into the door of the antique shop.
"Quinneth honey hey how was school?" Ida says from somewhere in the store.
I trace her voice to behind the counter. Leaning over all I see is the top of her head.
"What are you doing?" I ask her.
"I was looking for some red ribbon to wrap up an item for a client that is coming by later but I can't find it." She says messing around behind the counter.
"Ida, it's in the basement on the third shelf second rack to the left." Working here you have to know where everything is that. Ida is always misplacing things.
"What would I do without you Quinneth. Man down the counter while I go down to the basement. Oh, and todays Inventory day get on that quickly." She tells me.
While she downstairs I organize the counters and pick up the clip board and start on Inventory. We usually do this once a month to make sure nothing has gone missing. I start over at the paintings and work my way around the store.
1 Hour later...
I finish the photo album section and start to go over to the random objects. Behind me I hear the ring at the top of the door indicating that someone is here.
"I'll be right with you just give me a second." I tell the person as I check off a few boxes.
"I can wait all day." I hear the person say behind me. My eyes leave the clipboard to bulge open at the reflection in the mirror in front of me.
Alexander.
I turn around to see him leaned up against the counter with his arms crossed. He's wearing a black t-shirt that shows off his tattoos and big muscles might I add. His outfit concludes black pants and white tennis shoes.
"I forgot you were coming today. Let me get the money it's in my purse." I sit the clipboard on the counter and run behind the counter to grab my purse. I chatter through my purse until I find my wallet and pull out two twenty-dollar bills. I come from under the counter and hand him the money. "I only have twenties no change, sorry."
"It's ok." He says tucking the money on his back pocket. "Are you about to be on a break soon?" He asks me. Is he trying to take me somewhere?
"No not for another 20, why?" I ask curiously.
"Just wanted to use the 3.50 left over in change to take you out for Ice cream. I saw a booth just down the street from here." He leans his arms on the counter focusing all his attention on me. I can smell the strong fragrance that lingers on his body, smells very manly.
"Sorry maybe another time." I grab the clip board and start to head back to doing inventory until Ida comes out.
"Quinneth is this a customer?" She asks walking over to him.
"No, he's friend of mine. I owed him money and he was coming to pick it up." I tell her.
"And what's this I hear about Ice cream?" She says raising her eyebrows.
"I wanted to take your lovely employee, Quinn, out for Ice cream but she told me that her break doesn't start for another 20 minutes." He says looking me at me. I know what he's trying to do and it won't work on Ida.
"Let's see I'm the owner of this shop and I dictate the break hours. Quinneth you can have your break early." She smiles at me. I look at her with the 'are you serious' face.
"Ida don't be modest I should stay here it's inventory day the biggest day of the month." I say nudging her shoulder, hopefully she picks up the desperation in my voice. She doesn't.
"Quinneth darling you don't be modest there is a handsome gentleman who wants to take you out and you will not object." She pushes me towards him.
"But I have a-." I tried to finish my sentence but she cut me off.
"I get it you have a lot of work. Let me handle it now go." She says ushering us out the door.
"Thank you so much I'll have her back at the end of her break." He says giving me a grin basically saying I won and you lost.
"I was going to say I have an important thing and it would be highly inappropriate for me to go with another guy." I mumble to myself while grabbing my bag from Ida.
"What did you say?" He said looking down at me.
"Nothing let's go." We head out the door to this very expensive looking car.
