The Blind One

Chapter 46

It was already Wednesday night. Already half of the week had gone by yet I didn't know where all the time had gone. Being an organiser as well as a personal assistant was not only a hard role to fill but also a tiring one. I found myself feeling old for my young body's sake, I was drinking things that I never would have considered just to give myself energy as keep myself awake, no tto mention the way I was slacking in the clothing, beauty and care department. Well no one could blame me, I wasn't getting the beauty sleep I needed to begin with, my diet has become somewhat random with a variety of unhealthy foods, it had only been two days and it was already begging to show.

I sat behind the desk at Mr Roundys pharmacy and looked down at the massive book of different body illnesses. I couldn't believe how sensitive and gentle every part of the human body is. There's literally deceases for everything, from head to toe.

I closed the book shut and peaked around the store, Mr R was still talking to a young lady who seemed to enjoy his company.

My attention was taken by the ringing of my phone once again. I checked it only to see that Dalton was calling again. I know it was silly for me not to answer especially because he's my boss. But there are other means of communication for professional  reasons...like Email.
I pressed the ignore button and sighed before pushing myself off the chair behind the counter. I decided to walk around the store, I could still hear Mr R conversing with the woman and they seemed to be having a friendly chat more than anything.

I walked down a random row, stuck in my thoughts about how my life had suddenly become complicated. I looked down at my attire from work earlier that day and scoffed at the salmon colored long length jumper that may or may not have been stretched in the wash, I paired it with a long random grey skirt with knee boots.  I looked like an old school jipsy.

I ran my fingers across the label of the prices. My thoughts wondering about the use of each medicine...could one of these take my pain away?

I jumped as someone walked in the store, the door gave away a ding from the jingle of the bell...Or maybe someone had walked out.

Peaking over the shelves a little I saw Mr R still talking to the lady, I rolled my eyes and began to return back to the counter just in case the customer needed help.

As I turned to look around the store from the desk area I noticed that it was Indeed Dr Jameson that had walked into the store in his everyday clothes. I couldn't help but once again realise that his beauty was beyond what I'd ever seen. His skin glowed and his eyes gleamed with mystery, I couldn't help but study his mannerisms. He was tall and well built but he wore clothes that made him look athletic.

"Evening Mr Roundy" his voice was different to the way he'd spoken to me last time. He had been poffesional and polite with me , yet playful and relaxed with Mr R.

I watched him with intrigued eyes, following his every move as his muscles body took firm steps toward the older man and a very annoyed looking woman.

"I'll deal with her prescription son" Mr R stopped Dr Jameson...mr R's eyes turned In my direction catching me off guard, I stumbled from my position of peaking over the shelves, somehow managing to head but the top shel and sending packets of tablets on the floor.
I gasped and bent down to pick them up only to find my hair that was in a high bun was also making it worse and causing other packets to fall...
I groaned and sunk my head into my knees. From the silence in could imagine everyone's expression at my not so glamorous clumsiness. If any other girl did what I just did, this would look cute , innocently and coy...but I knew I looked like a hue animal that wasn't in its habitat, stomping and breaking everything in its path...
