🎶 [So Anxious-Ginuwine]

i lean back closing my eyes, the slight breeze of the warm summer wind colliding with my now greasy hair.

"why are you wearing my glasses?"
my dad asks.

"what?"

he snatches them off my head, nearly poking my eye out.

"OW!"

"thanks i nearly forgot these!"

"what? i thought they were sunglasses"

"nope"

"for god sake" i mumble under my breath. i was currently wearing white socks with off brand nike sandals, my brothers long black boy shorts ( on top of my slightly hairy legs ) paired with the biggest grey hoodie i could find that engulfed my figure. i just prayed and hoped that i wouldn't see anybody. i was supposed to look good tommorow, not today.

my dad and i hopped out his bright yellow van and walked towards the shops.

"is your hair wet?" he asks innocently.

"what? no!" i say, hiding my hair with my hands.
"it's hair oil!!!"

"whatever you say.."

i grunt in frustration as i walk inside the shops, a list in hand.

it read:

- Red meat
- 200g Unsalted butter
- Olive oil
- Toothpaste
- Bread

"am i getting all of this?" i ask

"no, i have my own list. you just focus on that" my dad says, showing my his list that was wedged between his two fingers.

i begin pacing the shops as quick as possible, in hopes to find everything, give it to my dad to pay for, and run out. however the shop was hard to navigate due to the clunky basket i was holding to carry my things in.

i began checking things off the list: olive oil, bread, butter, toothpaste. now i just needed meat.

i walk into the frozen aisle and began analysing the shelves, looking for a specific expensive brand my mum likes. i spot what i need and reach up to the top shelf to grab it. i throw it in my basket and turn to the next aisle, about to head to the tills to pay. just as i turn the corner, a familiar pattern of curls catches my eye.

noah's pov

i open the fridge, both hands resting on the top of it in order to get a full glance of everything. i grab a pack of pepparami and begin snacking on it, all while listening to some music. i was home alone, so i glided around the kitchen to the majestic beat of "So Anxious" by Ginuwine.
idk what it is about r&b but it just does it for me.

i was lost in my headphones until a sudden slam of a door causes me to rip my airpods out my ear. i slowly stalk towards the kitchen door to see my mama walking through the door, several shopping bags in hand.

"i thought you weren't home until later?"

she throws the bags onto the floor and looks up at me with a deep breath.

"eu preciso de você. Ir à loja."
(i need you. to go to the store.)

"o que?"
(what?)

"aqui está algum dinheiro" she says, pulling out a £$5 note from her pocket.
(here's some money)

she walks towards me, pressing it into my chest. i look down at her, tracking her as she leans down onto a kitchen chair as if she'd just ran a marathon.

"pegue um pouco de comida. pizza? compre algo para você também."
(get some food. pizza? get something for yourself too.)

"dominoes?" i ask

"não! congelados"
(no! frozen.)

"of course" i mutter under my breath as i walk into the downstairs bathroom, checking myself out in the mirror before i leave.
damn i look good. i ruffle my curls before placing my glasses on, checking out my jawline.

"tchau mama!" i shout before opening the door
(bye mama!)

slipping my headphones back in, i refrain from dancing and walk straight to the shop, feeling good about myself. i pressed play on my phone and continued the song i was listening to earlier. luckily the shop was just around the corner, meaning it was about a 5 minute walk.

i walk straight into the shop, hands in my pocket as i confidently glance around. on top of the fact that i looked good today, i was wearing a good outfit, which consisted of black baggy pants, a white t shirt paired with an oversized grey sweater. my new balance shoes also happened to increase my height by 2 inches, meaning i was standing at around 6,3ft. and a half if you round upwards. despite it being summer, the weather today was cloudy with a chance of rain later on, as well as a chance of rain tomorrow night.

i head straight to the frozen section, seeing someone stood directly opposite where i was supposed to look. i awkwardly slow down waiting for them to leave, and as they did i walked towards the section. i grab a "meat feast" pizza and head straight to the next aisle. the pizza was only £$1.25 on offer, meaning i had 4 extra to spend. i pick up another pizza and head straight to the candy section and begin browsing, picking up a packet of nerds, music still in my ear. i turn around, about to head to the toiletry section, as i was in need of a new deodorant. until i saw her.

just as i managed to get my mind of her, she was there. evie stood right in front of me.

i pulled out my airpod, holding it in the same hand i was carrying the nerds.

i look up her and down, she was wearing long boy shorts and the biggest zip up hoodie i've ever seen, on top of her hair being piled on top of her head. it also looked unnaturally shiny, i couldn't tell if it was grease or shine. i pull my glasses closer to my eyes and examine her, trying to decipher the difference. i can't help but laugh at her face, she looks so dumbfounded to see me here, and she clearly wasn't planning on seeing anyone at all. she looks slightly to the side, in an attempt to hide herself. i can't help but notice a scar that lay upon her jawline. one i've never noticed before due to the makeup she wears. i cock my head at the thought. she stood with a basket full to the brim of various meats and butters. she also didn't seem to be wearing any makeup, which made her look different. despite this, i was weirdly attracted to her in this outfit. despite her hair being a total mess as well as no makeup, she looked cute. in a different way. she looked comfy, as if she just rolled out of bed and put on her boyfriends shorts or something. wait who's shorts are thos-

my thoughts are interrupted by her speaking.

"why are you always everywhere." she says, in a seemingly serious annoyed tone.

"wha-?"my eyes followed her.

i don't even get to finish my sentence before she shoves past me, knocking the bottom of my shoulder leaving me to just watch her walk off.
