Episode 1: Klein

Klein P. O. V

A hand touched my waist and suddenly pulled me. A beautiful muscular arms wrapped on my waist. This person's head rests on my shoulder and I could smell his morning body scent. It is the smell of a brave man, strong but gentle. I raise my hand to touch this man's hair. This person's hair is smooth and it smells so good even though he just woke up. I pushed him gently and faced him with a smile on my face. I hugged him and greeted him with a "good morning".

I look at him intensely and get him closer for a kiss but when I was just about to kiss him.

My alarm rang, suggesting that I need to wake up to prefer my things or everything I need for my work. It's also a sign that I need to prefer myself again to another stressful day.

I reluctantly stood up from my bed and dragged myself to the bathroom. My disappointment from waking up from my beautiful dream can be seen in my face. I was so close to kissing that handsome and a body like a Greek god guy in my dream but this shitty alarm interrupted it. I washed my face in the bathroom sink and I went to the kitchen to prefer my breakfast. After cooking and preferring my food I dig in. I return to my bed and prefer my belongings. I put all the things that I'll be needing for my work. I went back to the bathroom and cleaned myself, after bathing I dried myself with the towel and wrapped it in the waist after. I went back to the sink and brushed my teeth after all of that I opened the cabinet and dressed up.

If you are curious about my work then I am honored to tell you that I am a president in the company, just kidding cause I am actually a Manager.

Excuse me Sir, how much is this? The customer asked.

Oh! let me see. I said. Oh, no tag price. I muttered.

Yeah, there is no tag price on it that's why I ask. The customer said.

Hmm. You can punch it there to check its price. I said while pointing the tablet for price checking.

Ok thank you. The customer said.

Well, Being a Manager is just a joke also. The truth is I am a Merchandiser and I am not kidding. I'm a Diser in a small grocery store. My name is Klein John Castillo and I am 25 years old. I didn't finish my college degree for many reasons but financially is the real cause. I have told my parents that I will find a job to support my older sister in her study so she would be able to finish her degree and find a good job after she graduated. And to support my parents also, they don't want it but I choose to find a job and I end up in this small but filled of loving and kind people.

A lot of companies did not hire me because of being undergrad but this small store named Alfonso Mini-Mart hired me.

Good morning KJ. My boss greeted me.

Good morning too Boss. I greeted him back.

I have told you not to call me boss. He said.

Oh. Sorry Alfonso. I said.

Yeah that's great. He said. He walks toward his office, I put my items again and put everything in place but the customers are rummaging it. I want to complain but the customers are always right so, i did not. The time passes by and it's time for lunch.

KJ! My boss called me.

Yes? I asked.

Let's go, let's eat together. He said.

But I am going with them. I said.

No BHE, it's ok, just go with the boss. They said.

Are you sure? I asked.

Of course we are. They said.

Ok. I said.

I come with the boss but I feel dizzy all of a sudden. I grabbed my boss's arm suddenly, and he was startled.

Why? Are you ok? He asked.

Yeah, just a little dizzy. I replied.

Are you sure? He asked again.

Yup. I'm ok. I answered.

I think you need a day off. My boss said.

Why? I asked.

You have been feeling unwell lately, you're always dizzy and look at your arms, you have bruises. He said.

No, I'm really ok. I said.

No, you need too. Here is my doctor's number, just contact him and I will inform him also so, just go there tomorrow and have your check-up. He said and handed me the calling card.

But?! I said.

No more buts and just go there. He said.

I just nodded and followed him to the restaurant. Our lunch is just like the other days, we talk, laugh and just enjoy the food. After that, the day continued and now I am already at the door of my boarding house.

To be continued. 🥰
