It was another long and tiring day at work. I waited nervously and excitedly for 9pm to roll around, for my crush to walk into the door of my workplace and bring some light into my life if only for a few minutes. I took some customers and stocked cigarettes while I waited. I glanced at the doors every so often, not wanting to miss my time to talk to him.

Like clockwork 9p.m. roll up and the door opened to reveal his beautiful form. I lite up inside. He came to my register with green scrubs today, enhancing his eye color. I smiled as he came up to my register. He gave a small smile back with beer in hand. I knew him so well, yet not at all at the same time.

"Hey, how was work?" I said as I rung up his beer.

He let out a stressed sigh, "Tiring."

I stole a glance at him, he looked worn out, and he had little wrinkles under his eyes as if he didn't get much sleep. I was glued to his every action as he ran a hand through his brown strands, giving them a little squeeze before removing his hand and giving me a weak smile.

"How much do I owe you?"

"Umm, $4.23." I said a little taken off guard.

Shit, I hope he didn't catch me staring at him.

I waited patiently as he searched his wallet for his money. I took the chance to try and have a conversation with him.

" Long day at work?"

"More like a long week." He confessed.

"Really, why, what happened?" I asked intrigued and a bit nosy.

"Well, besides work being long and tiring, my friend's decided to set me up on a blind date from hell."

I chuckled at his disgusted facial expression.

"Was it really that bad?" I asked absorbed into his story, leaning in over the counter, my elbow on the surface, my head resting in the palm of my hand.

"I changed my whole work schedule to even go on this blind date, left work early, rushed home to get ready and waited thirty minutes for my date and they never showed."

"What? That's crazy."

"I'm wondering if they took one look at me and left." He said gloomily, lost in thought.

My heart ached for him. I wanted so badly to take him in my arms and give him a warm embrace and comfort him.

Don't be a werido Jasper!

You don't even know his name for goodness sake!

It's very hard to comfort someone when you don't even know your place with them. I scan my brain over thinking of what the right response would be to his statement. I wasn't even sure he meant to confess his doubts.

"Someone turn down a hot guy like you…" I blurted out before I could stop myself.

He snapped up out of his thoughts and his eyes landed on mine. My eyes must have been the size of saucers. I felt my cheeks heat up as I blushed embarrassed.

He chuckled at my expression.

"I mean…" I trailed off for a loss of words not sure how to save myself.

"Thanks, I don't mind getting compliments, better than rejection. Well, have a nice night." He replied, grabbing his bag of beer and giving my confused form a small smile before heading out.

"You too man!" I called out.

You too man?

Really?

Idiot!
