Another work day, it's not too slow. Nor, are too many people stopping by. I take my time to do some homework but soon hear my favorite voice shout. "Oh, Taylor! Hi, babe!" Shawn comes running to me and kisses me with the counter between us.

"Hi. How are you?" I ask him. "In need to buy more boxes." He scurries to the back of the store. "You know. I've always wondered. But I won't ask. It's your personal thing." I put my hands in defense then soon grab it to scan and this time, I don't bag them.

I had them to Shawn and see him just staring at me. "Well, you're my boyfriend. You deserve to know." Shawn tells me sly. I pause in my tracts, "I'm your boyfriend?"

"Thought we made that clear when I asked you on a date. I mean, here I'll ask it officially now." Shawn clears his throat, "Taylor, would you like to be my boyfriend?"

I get from around the counter and hug him tight with a quick kiss to his forehead. Almost reminding me of the other day he asked me on a date. It went almost the same way.

"Can you take a day off?" Shawn asks me while swinging my hands. "I mean. I run this. Sure. I guess I'll take the day off or let me call one of my workers. For now, you okay with just hanging out here?"

"I'll get a snack at the coffee shop, then we can eat here? Is that okay?" I nod in response and soon sees Shawn walking off. And oh, the way he walks. I hate to see him leave, love to watch him walk off.
