Chapter 2: CHAPTER 02
The next day Skylar got up early so he could get his morning run in and then head over to town to look for work. Since he had graduated two weeks ago from High school. Skylar decided to get a summer job so he would have money for college. Even though his mother had set up a College fund for him. Skylar Knew that he would need more money for books and other supplies. Also he didn't want to be stuck at home doing nothing and watching his father waste away on their living room couch.
Sliding out of his bed he sighed and ran his fingers through his brown curls and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Changing into some old track pants and a black Nike fit tee. Tying up his laces he strapped his arm band on and slid his iphone into the slot and plugged in his headphones. They were a bright purple, he had grabbed them from Florence's desk when he left yesterday. He always had to steal headphones from her since he was always misplacing his own. Taking the steps two at a time, he opened the front door and did some quick stretches and started to run. The cool crisp morning biting at his cheeks turning them a blush pink. Starting down a long stretch of road he ran at a steady pace keeping his breathing even. Making sure to take deep breaths. He had been running for fifteen minutes when the hill came into view. The hill led to town, pumping his legs faster and faster until he made it up. Smiling at his small accomplishment and feeling the burn in his thighs.
Checking his phone he decided that he would stop by one of his favorite bakeries and get something warm to drink and maybe a donut or two. Skylar Loved sugar, anything with sugar was his favorite. Licking his dry lips he thought about the sweet taste of a glazed almond butter donut and moaned in appreciation. Yeah he was definitely getting one of those.
Reaching the store he noticed two burly men in front of the shop, they were carrying multiple boxes of sweets to a large black truck. Skylard giggled to himself as he pictured them eating all those boxes. Shaking his head he went inside and smiled as he smelled the deliciousness wafting from the store. His brown eyes shone in delight as he leaned over the counter and looked at the golden dough behind the glass. Biting his bottom lip he pondered what he should get. They all looked so good.
Behind him the sound of the bell dinging signaled that someone had just entered the store. Quickly ordering so he wouldn't hold up the line.
"Good morning Charlie." Skylard called out, catching the attention of the older men behind the counter.
"Good day Skylar, it's a lovely day, isn't it?" he asked
"Sure is sir." he responded with a small smile.
"I'll take a pink frosted and an almond glaze please. Oh also a bottle of water. Thank you."
"Alright coming right up. That'll be $6.45."
Skylar Was so distracted by Charlie that he didn't feel the presence behind him. Reaching into his pockets he took out a ten. But before he could give it to him a gold visa was pushed in front.
"Add his order with mine Charlie thank you." a deep voice called from behind him.
Skylar Turned around to object.
"Ah, it's okay sir, I can pay." Skylar Stuttered out
Deep dark eyes stared into his eyes. Making him blush at the intense look he was receiving.
"I insist."
"Uh okay thank you then." Skylar Whispered back
"Of course Little one. Just make sure you brush afterwards." His hand is still on his shoulder.
"A.Alright? Well thanks again sir. Bye." he said while grabbing his food and leaving. That was weird.
