Chapter 1

"Omg ! Stop dancing ! You're embarrassing me Miriam !" I turn to my best friend Andrea and stuck out my tongue to her.

I was dancing in the middle of the store because my favorite song was playing. I didn't care, I was a happy careless person.

"Ugh fine" I stopped dancing and returned to shopping.

I was looking for a new album. Music is my everything. I always felt that music was magical and could make things change. I liked every genre of music there was, that's how much I like it.

"Oh, here it is ! The last one by the way. And yes you owe me one." Andrea handed me what I was looking for.

"Yay ! Ok I owe you one" I said happily , walking towards the front to pay for it. I got distracted gawking at a Channing Tatum poster. Ah that man !

'Thwack' I bounced back dropping a small shelf of records. Uh-oh. My mouth formed a small 'o' as I stood there paralyzed. I turn to where I had bumped, I was pretty sure there was no wall there because it felt like I hit one. There wasn't a wall , but there was the most handsomest guy I've ever seen. Light brown hair messily made into a faux mohawk. Defined strong eyebrows with green hypnotizing eyes underneath. The way that gray polo shirt hugged his body , and that scent had me going crazy.

"Are you okay?" he grabbed me by the shoulders. Agh ! This must be another of my hallucinations.

"Miriam!" Andrea shouted. That made me snap out of it.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine and you?" I replied stupidly. Wow you really are stupid my internal voice told me.

"Well I'm good. I don't know about you though. You just broke priceless records and you barely had enough to buy an album." Andrea said pointing towards the mess I had created.

"Umm... you don't have to pay for it. It was me who made you fall back. I apologize." The hot guy said.

"Oh no. ! It wasn't you really. I'm naturally clumsy. I can't have you pay for this." Even though I didn't want to pay for it either.

Suddenly a tall well-dressed man stopped in front of us. I'm guessing it was the manager since he had a tag that said exactly that.

"What happened here?" He asked

Well obviously the records broke I thought. The hot guy turned to me and smiled. "You all know I can check on my cameras and find out. Someone's gotta pay for this. You're not getting away with it!" He snapped at us. The manager turned his heel and started marching off where he came from.

"Wait" mr. hottie screamed. "It was me who did all of this. I accidentally knocked them down while passing by. I'll pay for them." What?! I turned to and gave him a questioningly look.

"What you do that for?" I whispered-screamed to him.

"I'm pretty sure you can't pay for the mess you made. But I can. We'll figure something out later, but for right now just let me." hottie said

"Okay ,come to my office to sign some paper work and to make sure you pay fully." Hottie nodded and left after him.

"He's hot" Andrea remarked

"I know, but I fell bad, he didn't do any of this." I said sighing

"Yeah, but he still made you bump into them. So yeah, it's his fault too." Andreas shrugged her shoulder. She made me feel instantly better.

"We should wait until he gets out, you know" I said, remembering that he told me to do so.

Andrea snapped her head towards me and left what she had in hand.

"Uuuuhh" she cooed " you wanna give him a thank you kiss or what?!"

I started blushing making my cheeks turn a rosy color. Even though a thank you kiss wouldn't harm anyone.

"No! I just want to thank him and plus, he said something about figuring this out later." I said trying to convince her that I wasn't interested in him.

"So he wants you to pay all of that back? Girl, lets just buy this and GO!" Ugh , she was right. There was no way I was going to pay every cent back. I took my credit card and handed it to the cashier. I grabbed my purchase when Andrea pulled me out.

"We need to leave ! He's coming out !" We walked fast to the parking lot where my car was. 'Phew. Let's get going before he catches us here' I thought. I climbed inside and drove off.
