JOSH TALKS TO SABRINA

Sabrina came out from Mrs Williams office and gazed at Josh again. "How can i even focus with him here. "She sighed and went back to her seat. 

After Josh was done arranging everything on the shelf, he decided to take a break. He saw Sabrina lost in her thoughts and decided to talk to her since he was bored.

"Hey." He waved across her face and smiled, seeing she looked so lost.

Sabrina came out of her thoughts. On seeing Josh, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest as she saw him smile. "H-hey." She smiled back.

"You look lost."

"Oh, im just thinking of college days." She immediately regretted what she said.

Josh nodded. "Oh okay. Well you look familiar a lot, so i'm not suprised that we were in the same college." 

'Does he remember what hapened that night?' She began to tremble but Josh did nottice. "Yes we were in the same class."

"Oh yeah, you were the one that gave that awesome presentation that only you and i passed fully right?" Josh remembered that day when a Sabrina Harrison was the fellow student that the lecturer announced, that she passed the project with full marks together with Josh. He happened to have seen her, but he didn't really care.

"Yes." Sabrina knew her cheeks were already red. She was feeling embarassed.

Josh stared at her for a while silently before talking. "So how did you start working here?"

'He wants to know about me?!' Just the su

dden thought of it made her happy. "Well." She began. "My dad was the owner of a matress company, so, we were quite rich. Business was going well until when daddy had issues regarding the company and someone the company's secrets of making quality matresses to one of our rivals, and the cost was less expensive than ours. so, people stopped buying from our company." She looked at him and her lips slightly curved up in sadness. "Dad fell into depression after taking a lot of loans. because he couldn't pay back, they siezed his properties. He died out of depression unfortunately." She sighed.

Josh felt sorry for what happened to her. He thought only him had serious issues. "What about your mum." He had a concerned look on his face.

"Mum died when she gave birth to me." Sabrina felt really sad remembering everything that had happened. "Now, i will have to survive alone."

Josh felt bad feeling he brought back her sad memories. "I'm so sorry to hear that." 

"Ah no no." She waved her hand. "It's all in the past." Sabrina smiled and tried to look away. Her heart was in chaos because Josh was looking directly into her eyes. His blue eyes were so beautiful. She asked him. "You are done with everything right?" 

Josh nodded at her question. "Yeah, just wanted to take a break." 

Sabrina hesitsted for a moment before finally deciding to ask him. "What about you?"

Josh didn't know how to answer her question. He pondered before he finally said. "I helped myself through with ths help of a friend, then i decided to take a job here, ta-da." He spread out his arms, making Sabrina chuckle.

"We are both trying to survive. Fighting!" She raised her fist up showing determination which made Josh laugh. They talked for a while until they both had to resume what they were doing, because a customer just entered the shop.

The customer approached Sabrina with a smile. "Hey, please where can i find the kitchen utensils section?" 

'She looks nice.' Sabrina thought. "Yes ma'am, you go straight and turn to your left. She pointed s the direction to the lady.

"Okay, thanks." The lady nodded and left to the section.

As Josh was arranging the things on the second shelf, the lady looked stunned at the earthly God in front of her. "Wow." She said aloud, catching Josh's attention .

"Is there anything you need ma'am?" He looked at her, confused as to why she exclaimed like that.

"I came to look for utensils, but i never thought i will find something better." She licked her lips and looked at him from head to toe. 

Josh was already irritated by the woman because he knew what she was thinking about. "Ma'am, we have good utensils. Buy anyone, it will come in handy and it lasts longer than any other product. He tried to act dumb to what she was doing. 

"I'm not talking about that silly." she came closer to him. "i like you handsome."

Josh clenched his fists in anger before he calmed himself down."I don't like women."

The woman was dumbfounded. She felt sad . "Wow i guess i lost you. You are too handsome to be gay you know."

Josh was suprised with what she thought of him. 'I don't like both.' But he decided she should think that way.  "If you will excuse me." He walked towards the aisles. 

Josh and Sabrina were done for the day, so Mrs Williams allowed them to go. As Sabrina was almost far from the store, Josh ran up to her. "Hey! Sabrina wait." He reached her panting. "Where do you live?"

Sabrina was speechless. 'He wants to walk with me?' She managed to talk after a short while. "I live like four streets away from here. The streets are quite far from each other , don't want to walk it so i will just take the bus to the next bus stop."

Josh nodded. "Same here." 

"Really?" She could remember she had never seen him around the area.

"Yeah. Just moved in there like last week." He said casually.

"Ooh okay." 

He looked at her and smiled at her cuteness. "I guess we will be walking home together then. 

She stopoped walking and looked at his back. He kept on walking without knowing she had stopped. Josh noticed she had already stopped. He turned back and saw her with her mouth slightly opened. "What is wrong? You don't have to..."

"No!" She yelled which startled Josh. "I'm just suprised."

Josh chuckled. "Suprised about what?" 

"You know back in college, you weren't friendly to girls. People even thought you were gay..." She immediately shut her mouth, regretting saying it out. But she didn't expect him to laugh. 

"You are so funny. i just don't like hanging around girls because..i don't trust them.

She looked at him confused. "Why?"

"Well cos...." He looked at her questioning face and paused. "I will tell you when the right time comes okay?" 

"Okay. So what about me?" She looked up at him like a child expecting candy.

Josh chuckled. "You are different. I know you are not bad. Do you know just today, a customer was hitting on me." 

Sabrina gasped. "Wait..what?" He started telling her what happened while they were going home.
