The Curious Tale Of My Curiosity.
Chapter 28.
I stared at the clock, wishing for the small hand to move quicker so that I could get out of here. Usually slow would be the word I would use to describe working at the comic store, but my grandma Marie could go quicker than this, and she had a walker.
"Come on," I whined, narrowing my eyes and trying to use telepathy to get the clock to move quicker, or at least make it explode.
Damn, I spend way too much time here, I thought flipping open my computer to check my updates. To make matters worse, my new obsession was anime web comics. They were so fucking neat, and visually stimulating, even if you did have to wake a week for each page.
I was so wrapped in my reading that I didn't notice that anyone had come in until I heard a throat clearing.
I sighed, closing the lid of my Mac and cocked an eyebrow at tall, dark, and slimy. "Can I help you?" I asked, my tone bored.
"Yes," he simpered, his lips pursing as he regarded me like one would a cockroach. "I'm looking for a gift for my nephew, he's turning seven," he explained, and no matter what, you have to feel sorry for a kid who's birthday is around Christmas.
"What kind of stuff is he into?" I asked, my eyes darted over to the door as the little bell rang. I couldn't stop the smile spreading across my face once I saw it was Edward. He winked at me before slinking into one of the aisles.
Creepy cleared his throat noisily, forcing my attention back to him. "He likes those robot cars that shift or whatever," he bit out.
"They're called Transformers," I drawled. "You want comics or action figures?"
He gave me an exasperated look. "How should I know? You're the one working here."
I rolled my eyes. "Listen here creep, I honestly don't need your shit. Transformers stuff is over in that corner," I jabbed my finger in the direction I was talking about. "So go help yourself."
"Listen here-" he started to argue, but was cut off by Edward's hand on his shoulder.
"The lady told you what you need to know so why don't you run along," he said patronizingly, his gaze steady and his eyes hard.
I admit that I swooned a little.
"Fine," Creepy spat before turning and heading in the direction I had pointed, while Edward watched his every move.
Did I mention that I got a little wet?
AN: Lol, thanks for reading!
