"So you moved in together?" Lewis asks nosily as he sits at the cash register.
"No, he doesn't want me staying at my house alone so I'm just... Sleeping over. It's nothing seriou- wait, how did you know?"
"Frankie has a big mouth." Lewis grins at me and I chuckle rolling my eyes.
"So what do you guys do, since it's just yous two?" He asks, wiggling his eyebrows in a suggestive way.
"Watch tv, eat take out, play with his dog. We are bums." I shrug as I play new albums on a rack.
"Two peas in a pod, huh?" He chuckles and I roll my eyes once again.
"So, does he like you? Or do you like him? Don't worry, I won't tell a soul." Lewis says raising his hand, the other on his heart.
I bite my lip, considering the option. Maybe saying everything out loud will make everything sound stupid and I won't like him.
"Well... We went on a date two days ago. Movies and ice cream. Oh, um before that we had.... We kissed, on his couc-"
"Really?! Congrats!" I roll my eyes and continue. I wasn't going to tell him that that wasn't our first kiss.
"At the movies we had a little argument and I semi blew up on him, I felt bad afterwards. Then when the movie ended, we went for ice cream and he held my hand... Um then we ate ice cream and had small talk... I asked him what his type was a-and all his past girlfriends were blonde and I only asked that because the movie we saw the guy said guys like blondes more than brunettes and it just got me thinking... And then he asked me what my type was a- and he got mad because I said Kyle."
I continue to stare at the album in my hands, unable to look at Lewis' face. "He doesn't like Kyle? Wait, he knows Kyle?"
"Kyle hooked up with Beth at my house and Ashton blew up at him and they kind of fought.."
"Wow, he likes you.. A lot actually." Lewis says chuckling in shock, his eyes widen, a huge grin on his face.
"N-no he doesn't. He's just being a friend."
"Do you like him?" Lewis says smirking at me, completely ignoring me.
"W-what?" I elongate, "Me? No, nah." I shake my head, a blush on my cheeks.
"Liar. Just tell me, I know you do."
"Fine, I do." I shake my head at him and then I hear the shop door close.
My head turns to see Ashton smiling at me, his hands in pockets.
"Uh, what? Why? Um what's up?" I ask, leaning on the box of albums, Ashton walks up to me.
"It's 5, I came to pick you up." I nod slowly, and escape from his eyes and turn to see Lewis winking at Ashton. If they planned it, I will go crazy. Wait? I hope Ashton didn't hear anything I said.
I go grab my bag and then back out, passing Lewis on the way. "He totally likes you." He mutters, pushing me out of the back area and into the shop.
"Ready?" He asks and I nod.
We walk silently out the shop and to his car. My heart is beating nervously, my palms sweating.
"Did you eat lunch?" He asks, turning the car on.
"Yeah." I mutter, my hands shaking in my lap.
"Alright, you want to come to the mall with me? I have to pick up my check at American."
"Sure." I nod at him and look out the window.

"Do you only shop at American Apparel?" Ashton asks behind me as I look through crop tops at of course, American Apparel.
