Stories

“Morning…

Or it would be if you weren’t twenty minutes late…

”

“Whoa… what’s your problem this morning? ”

“Fine, if that’s how you’re going to be.

Yeah, packing slip is in the back on the desk.

Lots to unload today…

”

“I’m not caffeinated either.”

“Don’t see me making it everyone else’s problem. ”

“Feel free to help me unpack all these deliveries whenever… not like we’ve got a billion boxes to unload today… ”

“But sure, take your time, go into the back, relaaax…”

“Got more of those cheesy mountain man romances you’ve ordered…

I don’t see the hype, but I guess shirtless lumberjacks on the cover do sell, so whatever.

”

“Hey, where do you want these?

Hello?

”

“Wow, today’s going to be—”

“Hey… wait… are you crying?

What’s wrong?

”

“No, it’s not nothing, clearly.

What’s the matter?

”

“I’ve seen you almost every day for the last year, and I’ve never seen you like this.

I mean, we can talk about it if—

”

“I wouldn’t care? ”

“I wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t care.”

“You know what? Fine.

Forget I asked. ”

“This store can only handle one grumpy ass, and that’s me. So… I don’t know, pull it together or something. Someone’s got to perk up for serving customers and, well, odds are it’s not going to be me. ”

“Uh…okay, I wasn’t –

I was going for tough love there, but ah… yeah, didn’t really take, did it?

”

“Ah, jeez…”

“Alright, alright…come on…

Whatever it is, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

”

“

And I’m going to pretend like you’re not getting my shirt wet.

”

“Come here, it’s alright…

It’s alright… no, this is fine.

It’s fine.

”

“Let it out…

Can’t have you crying in front of the customers.

”

“You ready to tell me what’s wrong now?

I know we’re not exactly friends but, we work together, you can talk to me…

”

“Ah… I see.

You and your boyfriend broke up.

”

“Right…

Well, I’m sorry to hear that.

”

“Wait, he broke up with you?”

“Why?”

“You got into a big fight and he—

He said what? ”

“Wait, I just want to make sure I heard you right: he got upset with you… over reading romance books? ”

“Because why? ”

“That is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard… how can someone be jealous of a book? It’s literally words on paper?”

“That’s… ridiculous.

And he thinks you just read too much? That’s his whole issue?

God forbid you have a hobby, huh…

”

“I am actually kinda speechless.…

I’m sorry.

”

“Being jealous of a fucking book, that’s literally just so— ”

“He’s insecure, that’s what he is. ”

“And you reading ‘too much’?

What, he doesn’t like that you’re smart?

”

“You work in a bookstore. I mean, you practically run this place.

What did he expect?

Of course, you read a lot; it’s what you enjoy. ”

“Even if the endings are cheesy. ”

“Alright, alright…

They’re not all cheesy. ”

“He has no idea what he’s talking about, and this probably isn’t even about that. He clearly has some other issues going on. You deserve better than that. ”

“God, I always hated that guy.

So smug and annoying…

”

“What you were doing with him I never know, I mean you’re… and he’s—

”

“Look, I’m not…

I’m not very good at…expressing myself.

I might be a grumpy bastard, but I still don’t like seeing you upset.

”

“As much as you drive me mad sometimes. ”

“But yeah, I never liked him the second he walked in here. ”

“I’m not ‘rubbing it in’.”

“I was trying to look out for you. ”

“I meant what I said.

I saw right through him the day he first came here to pick you up.

”

“Yes, I did warn you, and you wouldn’t listen to me. ”

“You know how hard it was not to speak up whenever I saw him with you?

Seeing that idiot who clearly didn’t appreciate you?

”

“I’m not jealous.

Don’t put words in my mouth.

”

“You’re just…you’re too nice! That’s your problem!

You’re sweet, and…kind…

”

“You always have a smile for everyone…even when they don’t deserve it.

Even when…I don’t deserve it. ”

“I...”

“Ever since you walked into the staff room with that…cute little smile plastered on your face, holding that great big pile of books…

In those…

…god-awful graphic print overalls…there’s been no one else.

”

“Just you.

”
