I had one hour with him today. I walked into the store and it was mildly busy but still nothing compared to last week. Towards the back, I saw R and another of the guys stacking computer boxes on the top shelves. R was high up on the ladder and saw me coming. His smile. My responding smile was equally enthusiastic.
The thing is, I'm pretty sure he's that amazingly sweet and friendly to everyone.
He also got glasses. Or new glasses at least. I think he used to wear those slightly old-fashioned thin framed ones. Now, they're a bit more "on and poppin'." They're a bit like this:
He's actually so average looking that it gives me hope. I'm not trying to be all high and mighty and shit but I feel that with age, I've really come to appreciate guys for more than their looks. Which is a good thing because there are actually very few good looking guys out there.
The other guy who was stacking boxes with R... He's 16, Vietnamese, stupidly confident and I have this immense fear that he likes me in some way despite having a girlfriend. I feel stupid even writing that because it sounds so self-obsessed (which I am) and it's very possible that he's just a flirtatious guy. But he's asked me if I have a boyfriend before and I feel that he touches me way more than is necessary. He's always poking me or squeezing my waist. I don't know whether to interpret it as a jokey, sibling-like gesture or if he's trying to get a ticket to cougar town.
If it's the second option... Sorry, but fuck off, we're full (for want of a more politically correct phrase).
