The gLOVE of fate

It's Christmas time in New York and everyone is busy, from spending time with family, decorating houses and buying gifts. And New York is no stranger to that. On a bustling shopping day winter one mall named Blooming Sales held a one time sale for the coming Christmas. Where everything from shoes, clothes, ties, socks, name it and all is under 50% off. A 16 year old Jennie Kim took the moment to find her perfect Christmas gift, for someone she likes at school. She saved all her school allowances and then did some baby and house sitting to raise her money so she could buy any gift she might find. She still doesn't have any idea on what to give, but given there's a sale on almost everything she took the opportunity to look on different items that was on display.

It was not an easy task, as there were lots of people who raced to get there hands on the gold stuffs. Jennie squeezed her tiny body in the pile of people to get into the front line, where a heap of clothes are placed. She took one pink shirt and raised it up to her eye level for her to see. It has a print at the front with a picture of Santa and the words " Santa's Favorite Ho". Jennie laughed and she thought it would be a great gift for her bestfriend Lisa. She checked the size and everything, and she she's satisfied she then placed it in her tiny basket. Next to the pile of clothes where a rack that ties and gloves were hung. Jennie thought it would be great to give gloves as a gift. And just like as she thought about it, a new and last pair of black gloves was placed on the rack. Jennie instantly grab the gloves but someone also took the other pair.

-ohh- said the other girl who got the other pair of gloves

-I'm sorry- said Jennie, as she stopped and looked the person in front of her, holding the other pair of gloves. Jennie's eyes sparkled as it grew wide, looking at the person who has the other glove was pretty. Her eyes were light brown, that reminds Jennie of caramel macchiato. They look warm and sweet, plus she has this smile and her white teeth that makes Jennie somehow melt inside and her blonde hair that compliments her white skin. God she's so pretty

-uhmm- the girl lookedbshe as she stares at the gloves she have and the other pair at Jennie's

-do.. Do you want these?- Jennie said, she stares at the other girls eyes

-oh, no. no. no. You go ahead- said the girl

Oh my God!! Her accent Jennie wished her eyes didn't show the hearts thats currently popping out of it, because it would be so embarrassing

-oh no, please- Jennie said, but the got already let's go if the glove

-hmmm okay, uhh it's the last one- Jennie looked at the rack of gloves and saw there's no black ones left. Jennie then approached the sales lady nearby, and askeddfor help

-excuse me ma'am. Do you have another pair of these black cashmere gloves?- Jennie leaned closer to the sales lady for her to hear her.

-Whatever's out is what we have- says the lady, who didn't even bother looking up. She's way too busy arranging the ties back according to colors.

-You don't have a stockroom?- the girl asked

-No-

-Or basement?- Jennie adds. The girl looked at Jennie and breaks a smile, that made Jennie blushed

-No, we don't have an attic either- said the lady as she rolled her eyes at them and before she left. The blonde girl who's taller than Jennie, turned and faced Jennie, giving her a flat smile.
