How had it come to this? I’d been minding my own business. Holding down two low-paying, part-time jobs while trying to find one decent one. Minding my own business. Then that Greek God of a man ended up being my boss. And joining my gym. And generally showing up everywhere I turned. How was I supposed to put him out of my mind and stop making a fool of myself, as his ex-wife had said, if he was everywhere?

Then there his son. Despite Lydia’s scary manner, no way was I giving up my friendship with Cole. He was a good kid. There was nothing wrong with being his friend.

Glumly, I surveyed the dark interior of Morgan’s general store. I hadn’t seen a customer in almost an hour. Funny how we never sold anything yet there was always stock to bring up from the dank basement. Maybe Mr. Morgan was making other employees take stuff from the shelves and put it downstairs. And then making me bring new stuff upstairs. Maybe he, like Ian, was trying to make me get my exercise.

By my third trip up the stairs with boxes, I was tired. But somehow it seemed like I wasn’t as winded as I would’ve been before. Maybe the trips to the gym were starting to have an effect? That would be nice.

Balancing two boxes on my right side, I reached for the door with my left hand and nearly tumbled back down the steps when it opened on its own accord.

“There you are.” I couldn’t see any details about of the tall figure with the light behind him, but I knew that voice.

“What are you doing here, Ian?”

“Here, let me take those,” he said impatiently. He whisked the boxes away, and I stepped up onto the main floor, mutely showing him where to stack them.

I sneaked a peek at him while he did. Today he had on black jeans and a blue cotton button-down shirt. Had I ever seen him in anything but shorts? Pretty much anything looked good on him, though. That much was clear. I hadn’t seen him since last week when he asked me out. If that’s what that had been. I still wasn’t sure.

After setting the boxes down, Ian leaned against the wall by the back exit. “I came here and was surprised to find the place empty.”

“Yeah… we don’t get a lot of customers, so usually only one of us works at time.”

Ian squinted around the cluttered storefront. “Is that safe?”

I shrugged. “I think so. I only work during the days. Plus, very few people come in.”

“I could’ve emptied the cash register while you were downstairs.”

“It’s locked.”

“I could’ve taken a bunch of merchandize.”

“Yeah, but would you really have wanted to?”

He chuckled and glanced around. “I guess not.” He looked over at me, and I brushed some dust off my shorts. “Do you have more boxes to bring up?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll help.” He headed toward the stairs I’d just climbed.

I wanted to protest that he shouldn’t be down there, but really, what did it matter? There wasn’t anyone else here.
