Can I Help You?

I worked both yesterday and today. It was okay I guess. Today I didn't want to work. I was kinda tired. Bit I pushed through the work day. I kept happy by humming various Frank Sinatra songs. I was cleaning the glass display cases when a customer came in. I turned around and asked how I could help them. Leo just smiled and asked if we had coffee left. That's right. Leo. He left camp a day earlier than he was supposed to and came to visit me. He's transferring camps so he would only be off one day, maybe even less. But he left his boyscout camp early to surprise me. I was shocked to see him. I was shaking and my heart skipped a beat. Why was I this excited and happy? I've been trying to distance myself from him. I guess it isn't working. I love him. I can't change that. We chatted for a little while then he ordered a bagel. Cinnamon raison with jalapeño cream cheese. Strange combination, but I made it for him. He took a small coffee too. I kept smiling. I can't believe he took a bus to my job and inconvenienced himself. He looked kind of different too. He had a tan and more facial hair. God. I missed him. He stayed there in the store for a little bit and we talked. Then he left. I had work to do, and he had a bus to take. I couldn't stop thinking about how he came to see me. A few minutes after he left, he came back. He needed change for the bus. It made me laugh. He's so ditsy sometimes.
I continued my work day and went home. He and I are talking on fb. He says it was so good to see me. That he missed me. He said he felt happy when he saw me. He's so sweet. Tomorrow I'm working 6-1. Long shift, but who knows? Maybe Leo will show up again. He's always finding ways to keep me on my toes.
