Inexperienced novel Chapter 29

"Salut, je me demandais si je peux acheter ce téléphone là-bas," (Hi, was wondering if I can purchase that phone over there) I say getting to the point, wanting to get away from him as soon as possible.

"Oui, et dans quelle couleur aimeriez-vous ?," (Yes, and what color would you like it in?") He asks.

"Rouge," (Red) I reply and he smiles.

"Daccord, attends pendant que je vais le récupérer." (Alright, please wait while I go retrieve it) He replies and I nod. He comes back a couple of seconds later with the phone and rings it up. I hand him the cash and in a couple of seconds I have my own phone.

"Merci," (Thank you) I say turning to leave.

"Tu ne veux pas le mettre en place ?" (Don't you want to set it up?) He asks and I shake my head.

"Non merci. Je men occuperai, mais merci." (No thank you. I'll take care of it, but thank you.) I tell him, putting the phone in my purse.

"Écoutez, je sais que nous avons commencé du mauvais pied, mais ... pouvons-nous recommencer?" (Listen, I know we started off on the wrong foot but...can we start over?) He blurts out. I turn my eyes clashing with his, That's when I notice his eyes are a pretty hazel.

"I-"

"Je te promets que je ne suis pas impoli. Je ne voulais pas être plus tôt aujourdhui dans la bibliothèque." (I promise, I'm not rude. I didn't mean to be earlier today in the library.) He interrupts me, his cheeks tinting a light pink and I can't help but blush felling bad for making him feel that way.

"Désolé, je ne voulais pas que tu te sentes comme ça. Jai juste pris tort. Je suppose quon peut recommencer." (Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I just assumed wrong. I guess we can start over.) The words come spewing out of my mouth and I want to facepalm myself when I realize what just came out of my mouth. I just couldn't be mean to him, with his little nerdy and dorky self. With his enticing eyes and dazzling smile. I guess I'll just not keep him as close. So when I leave, I'll just be a distant memory.

"Oh, merci!" (Oh thank you!) he says excitedly and I can't help but smile back as well.

"Puis-je vous demander pourquoi vous êtes si prêt à me connaître?" (May I ask why you're so set on being acquainted with me?) I ask him.

"Tu as lair dune personne vraiment gentille. Quelquun avec une â me gentille." (You seem like a really nice person. Someone with a nice soul) he blushes and I do as well.

"Tu as lair dun rêveur, Un lecteur" (You sound like a dreamer, a reader) I reply softly and to that he chuckles.

"Il faut en connaître un." (Takes one to know one.)

"Touche, je ferais mieux dy aller." (Touche, I better get going) I say and go to make my way to the door.

"Hé, cest bon!" (Hey!) he shouts, as my hand hovers over the door handle. I turn. "Comment t'appelles-tu?" (What's your name?) He asks.

"Hiver." (Winter) I answer.

"Zach." (Zach) He smiles and I give him one last nod before walking out.
