You
“I love you.”

It started very ordinary. Quite a boring way. You will always be my favorite story, I will read over and over again.

I started working at a restaurant, I was simply a cashier. I started out in the mornings, and that was about it.
The schedule was never indifferent, the same times and days, the same people, the same names.
I started working there all because I needed a job, more because I was bored, and how else to spend time but to earn money?

It was a morning day, and I started my shift. To my surprise, you were there. I didn’t know what to say, or what to do. I wanted to talk to you, but didn’t know how. Until I saw your shirt, A black long sleeve with ‘Selena’ at the back and some song titles in the front. I liked her, and I liked your shirt, what more do I need? So I mustered up the courage to speak to you. Here it goes.. “Hey, I like your shirt” I felt satisfied with what I said, but it...
