So the people have spoken...

So the long-awaited (yeah right who was waiting, just you, huh?) story of BookStore.

 

So I’m turned around and looking at this hot guy. And he’s smirking at me because he’s like “the sexier stuff is the next shelf over,” and I’m thinking you’re a cheeky bastard but I smile. 

 

So I’m like “What makes you think I want the sexier stuff?”

He gives me like a million dollar smile. “Well, you just look like you’d be into more of the sexy things in life.”

OMG. Like I’m already a puddle at his feet. 

“I do?” ç (ya, that’s the best I can come up with)

“In a good way, of course.”

“Of course,” I say really adding to the conversation.

“I’m Bookstore,” he says, putting his hand out and shaking mine. I shake it and he’s got a strong grip and I don’t let go and just look him in the eyes and I wanna have like all of his babies right then and there. 

“I still don’t know why you’re pointing me to the smut,” I say to him. Or at least I think. I’m so excited I sorta forget these things and I may have actually just said “Which way to the bathroom?”

“Well, you just called it smut and not porn, so I think you read it,” he says to me, acting all smart and stuff. 

“I actually write it,” I say. I dunno why I instinctively said that. 

“I wouldn’t doubt that at all,” he says completely unfazed. “I don’t read any but have I seen you around?”

I shake my head. “I’m in Amazon KU.”

“Oh, them,” he says and that’s when I notice he’s wearing a name tag. He works in the store. “Thought you were famous there for a second.”

OMG! WTF!

I’m flustered and I see he’s smirking and I get what he just did to me. Ugh. 

But something I’m curious about.

“You’re not like put off by the fact that I write sexy stories?” I ask. “I mean I have a day job till end of July too, but this is like gonna be my full time gig.”

HE shakes his head. “Not one bit. In fact, the whole sexy story writer as you call it is kind of making me want to ask for your number so we can hang out Friday. Besides, despite what I said, if you write for Amazon and you’ve got a good following, then whatever name you write on is actually famous.”

“I’ve broken Top 100 before,” I blurted.

“There you go,” he says. “Congratulations. You must have lots of fans.”

“Lots!” I don’t know what I’m saying at this point. Someone please stop me. 

“So get yourself one more and put your digits right here,” he says, handing me his phone. In a trance, I fill out the details in his iPhone and he texts me. Then he goes back to work. 

Now I wait till tomorrow, when he calls. 

Should I put him in the rotation? What do you guys think? I truly am curious because the last poll opened up my eyes about what you guys thought about Freeway.

 

BookStore. Keeper? Or Not?

Give him a whirl?

Concentrate on the ones you have

Pass him my way

I really am curious. Lemme know!

Hugs and kisses and lots of love!
