今日開始寫一個比較短既故事.....英文既 (不定期更新.)

Chapter 1:

Hoilday is the time which I hate the most, not because of the street is full of people or the bus service is not frequent, but more about seeing couples on the street when myself is walking alone. Of course someone like to encourage you by saying there is "always someone out there waiting for you", I think it is better to tell a child about this than telling a 22 years old man like me.

So I opened my store at the usual time, 3 PM in the afternoon. After setting up the working area I sat myself at the cashier and took out a newspaper to read. The newspaper is boring since I did not find out any connection between myself and the events that happens in this world.

"Reading newspaper with the front door open is dangerous," an old man voice disturbed my reading.

"Well, I can sense people come in the store even they try to sneak in," I put down my newspaper and greet this old man, Bob. Bob is a nice old man that come to my store every friday that and we will have a nice talk about anything. I took out a chair to let Bob sat down. He sat down slowly aand carefully not to put pressure on his right leg, which is injured when he was servicing in Vietnam during the late 60s. After he finally sat down he put his cane on the floor next to him.

"So how is everything going, Mark?" he asked, with a gentle tone.

"Well, not bad." I said down on my chair too

"I thought you are going out for date tonight, you know, Valentine Day is for the young people."

"Well, I guess my mind ages faster than my body that I am consider myself to be among the olds."

"Don't say that, my boy. Keep your mind fresh so become young again," Bob laughed when he looked around.

"How about the hottie in here?" Bob looked around as he said that.

I am amused every time Bob mention the world hottie to describe girl which he thought are nice, he was always up to date to what the youth in doing nowadays. I wonder if he was a playboy when he still a young man, or may be back at the time when he was still in high school, dating the hottest girl in the whole school. Sometimes I should just asked Bob about his secret method for doing that.

"Well, she probably off on some date. Anyway if she does not want to come it is her decision, I can save money from her absence," I said and looked at the attendance sheet which have half of the last 2 weeks mark with a "X"(absense)

"Anyway, you should teach me about being on time, since you are responsible to the promise you make to his brother," Bob said as he act like a teacher to his sutdent.
