She sees him everyday, but he will never see her.
He stops in for an audiobook each day. It's always something different. Sometimes it's something like An Imperial Affliction or sometimes it's something like The Price of Dawn.
She is very attracted to him, sometimes even stutters as he checks out. He always uses a debit card, always wears the same leather jacket.
He doesn't notice her.
He comes back the next day, but this time, she is the one she asks for assistance in finding the audiobook he is looking for.
He places his hand on her shoulder, and she leads him to the audiobook section.
"What are you looking for?" she asks quietly.
His hand slides down her arm and grabs her hand for a moment. After a small pause he lets go.
"Pick for me. You're the one who usually checks me out right?"
She's nervous. She also feels like he put double meaning into checking him out. She wonders how he could know.
She picks out The Maze Runner and hands it to him.
"What's your name?" she asks before she realizes she's talking.
"Isaac," he answers. "And you are?"
"Kaitlyn," she replies.
"Well, Kaitlyn, thank you for your help," he says, putting his hand on her shoulder and giving her a smile that makes her go weak in the knees.
She leads him to the front of the store and checks him out.
"I'll see you tomorrow," he says as he leaves. "Well, not see you, but you know."
And then he's gone.
She can't wait for the promise of tomorrow.
