Simple Actions

Aden pulled a rather large bag with wheels behind him. He had found a large vase that he had bought for a deal, mostly because the owner had wanted to get rid of it. Mrs. Roberts had seemed to think the vase brought bad spirits. And that was why Aden loved her. She was his best source for antiques. She would buy something old to say she owned it, but then she would freak herself out over it for no reason. And that was when she would call.

"Mr. Kingston?! Thank goodness you answered your phone! I have a vase." "I have a book." "I have a necklace." "I have a suitcase and it has something wrong with it!"

It was never the same thing and always something that couldn't actually happen.
He always tried to give her more money than she had paid, but she would never take it. "I just want it out of my house, Aden!" She would say and take $50 or less.
Which worked for him, so he wasn't complaining.

He came to an intersection. He looked down the right fork then down the left. The antique store was down the left fork... the Coffee Shop down the right.
And he didn't feel like stopping by the antique store just yet, so he walked down the right fork smiling up at the angry, black storm clouds. Nothing could upset his mood today.

He suddenly wanted to walk a little faster, weird, but he did it anyway.
He sped up, not to much, but enough for him to feel the wind pick up and pull his dark curls away from his face.
He slowed down as he came to the door of the Coffee Shop. A girl was leaving, one he hadn't seen before. Odd, he had come here as often as he could since he discovered it, yet this girl gave a vibe of a regular.
He opened the door and stepped back so she could walk out.
"Here you go, miss." He said with a generous smile waving his hand for her to walk through the door.
She nodded to him, a smile of her own on her dark skinned face. "Thank you."
He watched her walk across the street and into a tall office building that Aden personally thought was a detriment to the street. Though he felt his opinion shift as she walked into it.
He frowned as he thought. Then shrugged and walked into the shop.
