It All Started With Candy

Part 2:

He sat back up in his stool and smiled at me. His smile feeling very warm and comforting.

"Yeah I totally understand. My name is Sam by the way. I don't want to waste your time any longer so your total is $10.27." I smirked and and signed to him.

"You can waste my time all day and I won't ever get bored." His face got so red. This man can't be straight, at least not fully. That or he's really embarrassed. Why am I acting as if I'm the most sociable person on this planet? Normally I would be on the verge of tears just by seeing that the store clerk looked at me, but with Sam, he's staring at me and I'm not freaked out in the slightest.

I pulled $15 out of my wallet and put it in my back pocket. He tried to give me my change but I insisted he keep it. I grabbed my bags and turned my watch back on. My heart rate is actually normal saying that I had a real conversation. I got to the door of the store and I could hear Sam talking behind me.

"Goodbye Gabriel! And please, come back soon." I turn around to see him quickly look away from me and I could see he's smiling. He glances back to me and I take my chance to sign back to him.

"Oh I'm looking forward to it Sammy." I left as he was covering his face and walked back to my apartment. Despite it being an early Friday evening, it appeared that almost everyone has gone inside.

That means I got to actually walk comfortably and actually enjoy this scenery. Okay, this is waaaay too good. What the fuck actually happened back there? I actually held a conversation with someone that wasn't one of my friends or family. I'm actually happy walking outside. I'm in such a great mood, I feel like nothing could ruin today. That's how I felt, until I was hit with realization.

Wow Gabriel, you did it again. You got a crush on a guy, that you just met, and you'll probably never see him again because you don't go to the store that often so chances are he won't be working when you go again.

As I was finishing that thought, I got to the sidewalk that leads to my apartment. I went up to it and decided that I was going to turn in for the the night. I've had too much excitement for the day and I'm exhausted. I put my bags on my table and went straight to bed despite it being very very early.

I woke up rather early that next day, around 7:30 am. Which that means I slept way longer than any normal human should, but after a day like that, it's normal for me to go to bed at 5 pm and wake up at this time.

I got out of my warm bed and got the shivers. I looked down and remembered I didn't even bother changing out of my clothes. I went to my closet, opened the door, looked in the mirror as a constant reminder I'm gay, and I picked out a new outfit.

I walked out of my bedroom and my eyes shifted to the candy on the table. I was about to grab a piece when I remembered that I haven't had an actual meal in a little bit, so I made an actual breakfast.

After that, I noticed that I left my phone on the table so I put it on the charger because I assumed the battery was pretty low if not dead. I walked back into the kitchen and sat back on the table. I looked at the bag of candy and that reminded me of the events that took place yesterday.

Who was that store clerk? Well yes I know his name is Sam, but WHO is he? I know he's new, but I have absolutely never seen this man before. Maybe he just moved here? We don't get that many new people here that often.

I started to look across my living room when my eyes fell on my collage stuff. Crap, I have a huge project due next Friday. I have classes starting Monday so it will be hard to work on it if I wait any longer. What am I doing sitting around?

I quickly walk over to my things and grab what I need. I need to go to the library because my professor said that all research should be done by books. I mean, it's an art project but I guess it's based off of something historic.

I was about to walk out the front door until I looked over at the pad and pen I use whenever I have to talk to people who don't know how to sign. I quickly grab it and head out the door not even thinking about who might be on the other side.

I walked at my normal fast pace and I got to the library in about 5 minutes. Lucky for me all the other people outside were on the opposite side of the street and they seemed too busy to notice me. I quickly walked up the library steps and pushed open the door.

I walk in and the usual librarian gives me the mandatory hello and I just nod to her. I walk past her with my things and go to a near by table. I go to a shelf and start looking for a book for my project.

After a few minutes, I find a book that looks promising. I walk back to my table and start working. I might be here all day. I eventually get bored, as I do quickly. It becomes a real problem in class when I get bored because it's so hard to contain myself. I get irritable and can't stay in my seat for that long.

I looked around the section of the library that I could see until my eyes fell on a familiar face sitting at a table across the room reading a book. It was him, it was Sam.

My face started to heat up and my heart rate quickened. My watch gave off a warning beep and I quickly turned it off because the librarian was giving me a dirty look.

Sam's eyes flicked up from his book and met mine. I give him an awkward little wave and he smiled. I definately did expect to see him again, especially the day after. I watched him slowly get up and start to walk over. I'm glad I turned off my watch otherwise it would be so loud right now. When he got to my table he smiled and sat down. He started signing to me.

"Hello Gabriel. It's a pleasure to see you again." He probably figured it would be best to sign saying that we could only talk in whispers. I sign back to him.

"Well hello again Sammy. And the pleasure is all mine." He chuckled a little bit. I figured it was because what I was signing didn't match my facial expression. I was trying to sound so smooth but my face was clearly freaked out and a hot guy that also is sweet is 1 foot away doesn't help the situation. He smirked and then signed again. *

"Hey are you feeling alright? You seem a little red there." From his smirk I could tell he's caught on. I smirk back and sign again.

"Well it's not every day that a sweet hot guy sits this close to me." He starts blushing and then smiles. All the sudden his eyes light up and he gets a devilish grin. Oh no he's got an evil grin.

He signs, "Oh you mean like this?" And he starts leaning over the table very slowly. What a fucking tease.
