"Yes!"

I love reading. So i tend to read atleast 2 books a year.

Since i got my job i keep on forgetting to buy things I love.

He let out a small chuckle as he followed me.

"So-"

As Eric was about to speak, a phone call interrupted him.

"Hey, i need to take this one, its mom."

"Sure, i'll go in then.."

He nodded and waited outside the bookstore talking to his mom.

i put my finger on a book.

"Was it this one?"

I mumbled trying remember the name of the book.

"Hmm no."

I kept on moving slowly to my left when my hand bumped into someone else's.

I gasped lightly.

"Oh!"

I looked at the person. It was enzo! unusual to find him in a bookstore.

"Enzo! Hey.."

I called out expecting him to smile at me and greet me the same way. Since we aren't at work, maybe he'll just talk to me like he used to.

But he just took a glance at me and continued to look at the books

I was starting to feel nervous.

"Enzo?"

I called out softly.

"Hello."

He spoke in a a monotone voice.

"Enzo, we need to talk.. i-"

"I'm busy."

He replied curtly and turned around to leave but I held the sleeve of his shirt tightly. not letting him go this time.

"please-"

Before I could complete my sentence he turned around with a cold expression on his face, and pinned me roughly against the book shelf.

I winced as I felt a the wooden shelf hit my back.

"E-enzo?"

I whimperd, very shocked by his actions.

His grip on my arm loosen. i swear i saw a hint of concern in his eyes but quickly replaced by coldness.

"I dont wanna talk okay?"

How could he do this?

Am i being too annoying?

My eyes went teary. But no, I am not crying in front of a man. 

"Okay.."

I whispered and quietly walked away. I was so close to crying though.

"Elle? You didnt buy any books?"

"N-no..they dont have those.."

I answered quietly.

"Aw dont be sad, we can always visit other shops. let me get you an ice cream."

"Hey i am not a kid!"

I said as i managed to hide my tears from him and forced a laugh.

I dont wanna concern eric.

Throughout the day Eric managed to make me laugh. Honestly it made my day a bit better but i was still in the shock of how enzo pushed me. He never once handled a woman roughly. atleast not in front of me.
