fresh produce

i have a crush on a clerk at the co-op grocery store down the street. i make eyes at him while purchasing my tofu and instant oatmeal. he’s dimpled and has puppy eyes that are softly wreathed in curly blonde lashes. he wears red chuck taylors. i bet he has comic book collection and listens to sunny day real estate.

once, he was stocking zucchinis and i reached to grab a nearby bundle of basil. his hand innocently grazed the skin of my wrist. he mumbled a quick apology and nervously tugged the ties of his apron. i giggled shyly. his cheeks pinkened and he scurried away, still carrying the box of zucchinis in which my fragile heart had fallen.

okay, i totally made that up.

he is pretty cute though. sadly, i doubt he’s a day over 19.

19 is a great age. get in there and rob some cradles.

on a side note, my close friends love sunny day real estate. maybe you'd love them, too, but sadly they're monstrously older than mr. whole foods (23).
