Strictly Taboo(60)

She watched the door, hoping that one day she might get someone interesting to come in. Maybe even a loyal prince who would whisk her off her feet. She reddened thinking about this, realizing that it would be nothing but a fairy tale. She wanted to tell herself to get her head out of the clouds, but it was already so stuck up there that it probably wouldn’t come back down.

As she sat at the counter killing time, she heard the sound of the ring that indicated someone had come into the store. She looked over, and immediately, she stopped.

It was two men, two very attractive men, and they were both dressed impeccable. Anna felt nervous, realizing that she was completely under dressed in comparison to them. She wanted to hide behind the counter, but she knew that it wasn’t in good nature. But they both looked at her, smiling warmly.

“Hello there,” the first one said. He was an attractive redhead with beautiful green eyes. He had a perfect suit with a little red tie, and he looked like he had just come from a business meeting.

“Hello there. What can I help you with?” she replied. Anna gulped, looking at both of them. They were both gorgeous, and she wondered how she got so lucky. These two didn’t look like they even belonged in a store like this, rather, they probably needed to be at some fancy dinner party instead.

“Oh we’re just looking for this one book. One of our colleagues recommended it to us. We wanted to see if this store had it,” the other said. He was another man with raven-colored hair that cascaded down his back, but was put in a ponytail. Anna froze, reddening hard as she looked at them.

“Oh yes. Let me see what I can find for you guys do you know the name of the book?” she asked. She tried to play it off, but it was obvious that the look on her face wasn’t going to go away anytime soon.

“I think it was called ‘of wealth and prosperity,’ ” the redhead said.

She looked through the database, sighing in relief when she found it.

“Well I have it. It’s the only copy though, so you might have to share it. If that’s not possible, I can order you each one,” she said.

“That’s fine. We’re both willing to share,” the raven-haired man said.

Anna flushed at the way he said it. It was almost like he was implying something, but she didn’t know what.

“Well let me check you guys out. I’ll get this to you right away,” she said with a small squeak. She paused as she said those words, realizing that those words too, could have quite the implication.

She practically raced over to the checkout desk where she normally haunted, avoiding eye contact with them. She felt so embarrassed by this. But the two men were right there.

“So Kenneth, do you want to pay for this?” the raven-haired man said.

“Sure Adrian. I’ll take care of it,” the redhead replied.

So the dark-haired one was Adrian, and the redhead was Kenneth. Anna made a mental note of this.

“So what’s your name?” Adrian asked.

Anna practically jumped back in fright at the sight of them. She wondered how they were so cool about this sort of thing.

“My name is Anna. I work here,” she said.

“That’s pretty awesome. We heard about this place and how even though it’s a small hole in the wall, it’s a great place,” Kenneth explained.

“Well I’m glad you showed up, you definitely made my day all the more entertaining,” she replied.

“We’re glad. Plus, cuties like you are definitely a plus for coming to this bookstore, ” Adrian said. He looked at her, his azure eyes making contact with her green ones from behind her glasses. She squeaked, feeling the pressure of the moment. She flushed at the way he looked at her, and for a moment, she felt as if time had stopped.

She finished up the purchase and got them the receipt. Kenneth signed it, but instead of giving it back right away, he slipped his card under there. Anna looked at him with a questioning glance, and soon Adrian did the same thing.

“What are you guys doing?” she asked with shock plastered on her face.

“We just wanted to give you a little something Anna. We definitely appreciate your great service,” Adrian explained. They pushed the receipts into her hand and walked out before Anna could say another word.

“Well damn,” she told herself as they left. She thought I would be just another normal day, but apparently there was something enticing and interesting today. But what she didn’t realize was what was going on, and soon she noticed the two cards in her hand. She looked at them, and when she saw whom it was, her jaw dropped.

Kenneth and Adrian were two of the hottest billionaires out there. They were the two that she heard about, but didn’t know for sure. Anna smiled; she got to meet two billionaires today, and they both flirted with her. They also gave her their numbers. Apparently she was attractive to them, and they liked her. Anna felt excited, and for the rest of the day, she was feeling giddy about this. She couldn’t wait to talk to them in the future, and she wondered what they had planned next.
