I'm actually going to his little mini market today. I like the feeling. It's a light grey, little cushions in the corner to sit and then some IKEA cubbies for items, not like metal shelves.

This time I don't buy condoms, but I get a canned coffee and immediately rush to the counter. "Hi, Taylor." I say softly. "H-how do you know my name?"

I laugh sit and put my hand on his chest. "Your name tag." He looks down and shivers. "Oh... Right. What's your name?"

"Shawn. Call me Shawn." I take my drink, giving him two dollars and leaving. I walk away slowly to admire the smell of this little shop just for a little longer.

I head to my study session with this cute girl that I've found myself being really happy around, not as much as Taylor though. Oddly. "Hey, Ellie. sorry I'm late." I tell her. "It's no problem, Shawn."

"So, I was thinking, aside from these study dates, I was thinking if you wanted to maybe go to a movie or something?" Ellie puts her book aside and reaches for my hand as she looks into my eyes. "Um. Yeah! Definitely. Tomorrow sounds good?"

"It's perfect." Ellie smiles and I nod with her. Eventually we end studying together as we occasionally send glances back to each other while laughing out of nothing.

I leave early because I want to stop by Taylor's shop just before I get back to my dorm. When I get there, he isn't. Before I get my pack of gum, I talk to the cashier.

"Taylor not here?" I ask the worker with an oddly sharp chin, it was cool. I wanted to poke at it, but that's really weird. I automatically touch my own jaw just by looking at his. "Um, he just left."

"Why?" I don't know why I have the sudden urge to just know his whole schedule but, hmm, just concerned. "Doctors appointment. But that's all I should disclose."

I really wanted to see Taylor for just a silly reason, but I feel positive and lighter, less worries, whenever I see him.
