7. Work
I dropped Penny off at school, and rushed to work. I pulled up to Music World and parked in the employee parking lot. The sun was shinning down on me as I walked inside. I waved at a few of my friends as pasted them walking to the time clock.
Then I got on the cash register and waited for a customer. It was unusually slow today, I thought. I was there for almost four hours with no customers.
Then I saw him walking over to me.
What was he doing here? Why was Daryl Dixon at the music store I worked? Did he know I worked here? He looked at me those soft greens eyes and my heart started beating faster. He got in my line and looked up at me with a smile.
He handed me the Tom Petty cd in his hand.
"Did you find everything you needed?" I asked kindly.
"I have now," he winked at me.
"That will be fifteen dollars," I said putting the cd in a plastic bag.
"You want to have lunch with me?" Daryl asked after he handed me the correct amount of cash.
"I don't think I should. I have a boyfriend," I said calmly putting the money in the register and handing him the bag.
"It's lunch Beth. I am not asking you to marry me," he whispers leaning over my register.
I can't help admire how handsome he is. How could I resist those green eyes again?
"I guess I can, but I need to ask my boss if it's okay," I said giving in. Daryl nodded, as I walked over to Tyler and asked if I could take my break early. Looking at how dead the story was he agreed that it would be okay.
"I glad we are going to spend sometime together. My name is Daryl Dixon by the way," Daryl said taking my hand. My body started to tremble again.
"I know it was on the bussiness card, and I knew who you were when I walked over there to talk to you," I admitted.
He says nothing, but continues to smile at me.
What was I feeling for this stranger? Was it only sexual attraction? Lust? And why was he here? I had so many questions running through my mind, but I did not same a word. I didn't want to ruin it.
