Chapter Twelve

Light hums of Pink Floyd's Money play in the background of the store. My fingers drum against the case of the cd I'm looking at, then sliding it in its rightful place and moving on with the task at hand.

"Hey Koda, Michelle said that these cd's need to be stacked," Ashton smiles as he places a small card board box on the counter.

"Thanks Ash, and thanks for helping with the store."

His smile widens, "it's no problem," he replies before disappearing into the back storage again. I go back to shuffling the cd's into the correct alphabetical order.

Ashton thought he might walk with me to work with from school, he has been thinking about getting a job at the store, so Michelle is giving him a test run for the day.

Just as I place a Grease soundtrack into the 'G' section, the store's door bell went off, indicating that we have a customer. Putting on a smile preparing to serve this customer, when I look up my smile deflates when I am meet with his green eyes. Deciding that I no longer want to offer my service I turn back around to the rack of music.

I am still very annoyed at the fact that he left me waiting for a whole hour because he was busy at some strip club, what excuse could he possibly give; 'sorry, my hand got stuck in some chicks g-string."

I feel his presence behind me but I don't dare turn around. Feeling a little uncomfortable that he is just standing there waiting, I shakily move some cd's into place. I hear him cough, I know he is only trying to get my attention though I stand my ground and refuse to acknowledge him.

"Look at me Kodaline."

His voice his demanding, he won't take no for an answer. Sighing to myself I hastily turn around, almost shocked at the close proximity and small amount of space that is between us.

"I wanted to apologise for yesterday, for not showing up and instead... well, you know. But I'm really sorry I wasted your time, and if you thinking about having a go at me don't worry my sister already did that."

I stare up at him watch as his lips pronounce every syllable and the way his Adam's apple bobs when he swallows after.

I sigh again, "it's fine, it not everyday that someone is excited to learn about books. I get it, your mom forced this onto you and and I know that you don't like me--"

"What?" He eyes snap up to meet mine, worry filled, "you think I don't like you?"

"Well," I shift from foot to the other and gaze down at the floor, "it doesn't seem like it. I know I don't remember you but I feel like you hate me for that."

He stares dumbfounded. He swallows again, his tongue licking his lips, "I don't hate you, I don't think I ever could. I like you, more than you think."

"Koda, here's some more-- oh hi there Harry," Ashton appears at the counter with yet another box and smile on his face.

"We're having a private conversation," Harry glares at Ashton, and he immediately get the message, ignoring Harry's rude gesture he nonetheless still smiles and walk to the back.

"I didn't know he worked here?"

"He's thinking about getting a job here."

He nods biting his lip then letting it go to speak, "I'm free every Friday afternoon for tutoring, we can alternate between your house and mine. This Friday we'll do it at your place."

I swallow, "um, yeah that sounds great."

He nods, "see you later Kodaline."
