No one was behind the counter when I came in so I took that moment to calm down. It was then I realize my fists was still bald up and I slowly opened them. They ached from holding it so tight.

"Anytime, Mr.Seawood," I heard a familiar voice. It was coming from behind the counter where there was a door that says 'employee's only'.

Lamar walked through the door carrying something small. He walk around the counter and put whatever it was on the counter and reach into his back pocket and took out his wallet.

"No, no, son it's on the house. It's the least you could for helping an old man out."

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yeah, yeah." He said waving him off. He was an old man indeed. A short one and a round belly. He notice me. "How may I help you, young lady."

" No." Did i just said no? He didn't even asked a question.

Mr. Seawood raised his eyebrows and so did Lomar. i try to plaster a smile on my face. "I'm waiting on him." I'm nodded to Lomar.

He look between me and Lomar and did something that sounded like a snort and walk towards the back of the store mumbling.

Nice going, Alex. Always putting someone In a bad mood.

I sighed.

"Are you ready to go?"

"One moment." He open his wallet and took out a bill, laying it on the other side out of view to anyone on the customer side of the register.

"Lets go,"

I looked at where he stashed the bill before following him out the store and back into the heat. I open my ice cream and started eating it.

I started to get annoyed when I notice he was walking in front of me when I was suppose to be the one showing him back home. Then the annoyance disappeared as I notice how gracefully he walks and started checking out his butt. He turned around suddenly and I looked away as if I was never staring at his ass and took a bite of my ice cream, pretty sure that my face was red.

"What?" I asked trying to act casual, and not doing a very good job at it.

"Wasn't I suppose to turn right instead of going straight?"

I looked around me and sure enough, we miss the exact same turn from the first time, and I didn't even notice because I was looking at his ass.

I sighed and turn around, this time walking in front.
