Hazel had yet to smile at the librarian, following his lead towards the romance section. Despite this, her cheeks were still a light pink. She was greatly unused to kind gestures, especially compliments. That was partly her fault though as she didn't socialize much.
Carrio grabbed a book he just shelved and handed it to her. “There you go. It’s the only Romance I’ve actually read and understand.”
(I'll be back in a few. Gonna watch a movie with my mom while she's finally off from work)
(Ggrrrrrr okay)
Carrio grabbed a book he just shelved and handed it to her. “There you go. It’s the only Romance I’ve actually read and understand.”
Hazel took the novel, casting a quick look at the cover before looking back up at the man. She offered a quick timid grin before thanking him yet again. That completed her pile of six. There was no need to bother this man any longer. "Thank you again…" she trailed off as she walked towards the front desk to have them signed out under her name.
Carrio gave a slight nod and followed her to the desk, walking around to his computer. He signed them out, then handed them to her carefully.
“Happy reading. Take good care of them.”
Hazel nodded in return before going on her way down a few blocks. She had just enough time to make it to her job in a small coffee shop. It was mostly so she actually had money to take care of herself and earn a living, but it was also a way to help her social interactions. At least that's what it was supposed to be doing. She still struggled with speaking much more than the regular short script for customers, but it was a start. It was also nice that she got an occasional free coffee. Walking inside, she heard the tiny chime of a bell signaling her entrance.
After clocking in, she tied on her turquoise apron. Setting her bag of books down into a safe spot, she made her way behind the counter to begin taking orders. Luckily, she'd have the next day off after her shift.
(Time skip? Sorry about the short answer, nice paragraph.)
(Sure, and it's okay.)
(To when?)
(Up to you really haha)
(Atrrrjghghgjggjjfjfff suggestions?)
(jhbr3bh um they could meet at the coffee shop one day if Carrio likes coffee? If not then in a park somewhere, idk ummm)
(Mekdidiehejeisksss how about she goes back and they talk, and she invites him out for coffee?)
(hdhjedbcei ok sure lol)
(Can you start?)
Hazel frowned as the quickly falling rain drops began to hit her clothes despite having an umbrella. Now underneath the small overhang over the door to the library, she closed her protection from the rain, giving it a quick shake. Entering, she set the item in a small bucket at the front door for that very reason. It was better than daring to ruin a book with water damage.
(sorry I was turning on some music)
(Teehee 69 goodbye)
(Omg no)
(~-~)
Carrio hastily turned down the jazz to an acceptable volume, rather than so loud he’d be able to hear it in the basement. He glance up at her, with a slight grin.
“Hi there. Enjoy the books?”
Turning her head, she saw the same guy with the gray eyes.
"Oh um, yes, I did," Hazel replied. Today she wore her dark blue coat over a green shirt that read, 'The books are always better,' in a swirling font. She came up towards the return bin and carefully placed all six inside.
Carrio grinned. “Nice shirt. Well, I’ll be here if you need any help looking for some books.” He hummed with the jazz and looked back at the computer screens, checking on the books in his catalog.
Hazel's cheeks immediately warmed at the comment. For some reason whenever she came in, the man was always there to greet and compliment her. Her mind didn't quite know what to do with that, so she simply nodded quickly and made her way towards the varying sections of books.
Carrio grinned a little at her response. He found compliments always made others happy, wether it be on their appearance, their clothing or their personalities. He was just a bookkeep, but he liked to be a nice person every so often.
