Yeah twist again, like we did last summer…
Hannah Price sang shrilly, wielding a pricing gun as she danced up the aisles. She was in an excellent mood that day; she always liked being at work. Her hours were flexible and her gorgeous boyfriend was her boss. What could be better?
Why do you listen to such old rubbish?
Shouted a laughing voice, switching off the battered radio on the counter.
Hannah jumped, unaware there was anyone else in the shop but her. She looked embarrassed for a moment, then ran to the front. When she got there she saw Jay, learning on the counter, an amused grin on his face.
Sorry, Jay. I was in my own world! Just ignore me, I was only singing to the beans and crisps.
Well, as long as the produce doesn’t go off! My ears could shrivel listening to you sing,
he joked, tugging a lock of her dark curly hair good-naturedly.
Ah don’t worry, love. You really brighten up the place. Ignore him,
another voice chimed in. Both Hannah and Jay looked up, smiling as they saw Mrs. Lynch, a lovely old lady who came into the corner shop almost every day.
Thank you, Mrs. Lynch,
Hannah grinned. Can I help you with anything?
Oh, I just came for the paper and to make sure he was treating you nicely.
Mrs. Lynch said. As she hobbled out, Jay grabbed Hannah and gave her a kiss.
How were your results yesterday? I didn’t hear from you,
Jay asked, concern in his voice.
Oh, I’m so sorry!
Hannah gasped. I got my results and then went to the travel agent. I was so absorbed in looking at trips away, I completely forgot. I got really good marks; I’m really happy,
Hannah blushed, patches of crimson creeping down her neck.
My little genius!
Jay exclaimed with pride. Although highly intelligent, Hannah was known for forgetfulness and he wasn’t surprised that she was looking at trips abroad. Hannah had recently been hit by the travel bug and talked incessantly about moving to Australia. She spent most of her time daydreaming about places she’d never been and people she hadn’t met yet. The rest of her time was spent reading; Jay sometimes struggled to prise her away from her latest novel. Hannah loved crime fiction and saw mystery everywhere in life. One particularly memorable night was when they played Cluedo with some friends; Hannah became so excited, putting on voices and coming up with sneaky clues.
Shall we go for dinner to celebrate? My treat,
Hannah offered shyly. She was so happy with Jay; he was so different to all the people she’d grown up knowing. He didn’t mind any of her quirks either. In fact; he seemed to embrace them.
No, this is my treat. I’m proud of you for doing so well! Besides, I know how much I pay you. Get your coat, we’ll lock up early and make a day of it.
Hannah nodded, smiling broadly. She had never been treated this well ever. She had lived in Newark her entire life, leaving only to travel for a year around Asia. When all
