3 - Weird Names

The day is moving like a snail. A very slow snail. All I can do is thinking about Sally and Alex. Imagining them together as a couple make me nauseous. Alex is a complete dick, douchebag, heartless who doesn't know what love is and he's not a relationship type of guy. There's only a good thing about Alex, his good taste in music. He has a really cool band, they play good music and they always invite me and Sally to their gigs, and that means free gigs and free booze. And a good fuck sometimes. Me and Nick, the bass player, fuck sometimes. I like Nick. He's nice, he's a good guy and he's just like me. No heart feelings. It's just some fucks, just a good time that we spend together.

Sally and Alex used to be like me and Nick. Just with the difference that Alex is a stupid dick unlike Nick and Sally gets emotional and stuck to people too quickly, unlike me. In other words, they fucked sometimes and now she's in love hopping that he feels the same as her. This sucks, you know. I should stop thinking about this shit.

"Teresa?" I shout my co-worker's name.

"What?" She shouts back.

"Take my place, I'm gonna get a smoke." I say, grabbing my Marlboro pack and my lighter and heading to the door.

I lean my back and head against the wall beside the store's door and light up a cigarette, taking a big drag and some moments later I blow out the smoke.

As I smoke my cigarette, I watch the people on the street. I see every kind of people on this street. Old people, business people, kids, teenagers, people running late for work, people with dogs, without dogs. It's really interesting. I pass almost all of my breaks watching them, studying them.

I drag the cigarette for the last time and throw the cigarette's butt on the floor. I get inside the store and face Teresa who is reading a magazine.

"I'm gonna check out the shelves to see if everything is in order." I tell her, heading to the pop section and she makes an agreement sound.

When I finish the pop section, the phone rings and Teresa picks it up. The classic section is the next but I'm not allowed to start checking because Teresa calls me.

"Effy, it's your friend, Sally." As she says this I walk to the counter and I pick up the phone.

"Yeah?" I say, watching Teresa moving away.

"Effy, can you come over to my house when you finish your shift?" Her voice seems rushed. She seems to be in a hurry.

"Yeah, of course. But why?"

"I need your help choosing an outfit for tonight." Of course it's because of that. Ugh. This subject again. If Sally gets hurt because of that selfish dick, I'm gonna cut his balls off.

"Ok, see you later then" I say and I hung up. I'm really bored. Ugh. I sit down on the chair behind the counter sighing and I start glaring my doc martens, patting my feet impatiently, making a rushed rhythm.

Mixed with the music from my boots I hear some heavy steps and I feel a presence on the other side of the counter, but I don't mind to look up to see who is. The person cleans his throat to get my attention. I look up and I see two familiar faces. Guns N' Roses.

"Oh, hi." I say, setting up onto my feet. "Need some help?"

"No, thanks, we already have what we wanted. We just want to pay, please." The redhead says, politely.

"So, what do you got there?" I ask, excited. Let's see what kind of music these two got. The exciting part of my job is to see what kind of music people are into. The curly guy puts some cassettes on the counter and I examine each one of them. Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, AC/DC... Good taste. I like these guys already.

"Good taste" I comment as I do their bill.

"You too." The curly guy grins pointing to me with his forefinger. I look down to my shirt and see the Led Zepplin logo. I give him a smile and put the cassetes in a plastic bag.

"Yeah, but I'm more of a punk rock girl." I give him a wink. "It's 2 contos." Contos is the coin used in Portugal. America has dollars, UK has pounds and Portugal has contos. I notice that the curly guy is staring at me and the ginger one his glaring his friend. Weirdos.

"Slash...Slash..." The redhead is trying to get attention from Slash, but unsuccessfully. "SLASH!" He shouts.

"What?"

"Can you please just pay?" The ginger is impatient and Slash doesn't give a shit. Hilarious.

"Can you pay so I can continue admiring this beautiful lady?" I'm not like those girls who blush with everything that a guy says, but I admit, I blushed with what this Slash said.

A deep and impatient sight came out from the ginger's mouth. "You're the one who has the money" He says, trying to stay calm.

"No I'm not." The other argues.

"I gave it to you, you idiot."

"Oh.... wait... Yes, I do have it. My bad" Slash says with a apologist smile, taking out his wallet from his jacket pocket. He hands me the money and I give him the plastic bag.

"So... I was wondering..." The redhead says but stops."Do you wanna go out with us tonight?" Then he asks very hesitant. Ok, that was weird. I don't even know their names. I just know that the curly one is called by Slash, is that even a name? I'm staring at the pair, thinking about their offer. "I'm Axl, by the way. William Axl Rose. This is Slash."

"I'm Effy and your names are fucking weird." I say, looking at them with a serious expression.

"But yours is weird too." Slash groans.

"I'll go with you if you tell me your real name." I say, giving them no changes. I'm a difficult girl. I'm not like most of the girls who crawl to boys like puppys. I don't give them that sactifaction.

"I'm Saul...." Slash admits his name and he looks like he has lost his dignity. I start glaring Axl, waiting for him to confess his real name.

"William...." he admits. Good boys.

"I'm Elizabeth, nice to meet you guys. And yes, I'd love to go out with you." As I say this, I see big smiles growing up on their faces.

A/N: I hope you like it. At least it's longer than the last one.

The girl in the photo is suppose to be Effy. If you had ever watched Skin, you recognise her. Her real name is Kaya Scodelario, an English actress. Effy is basically Effy Stomen from Skins. So yeah. I hope find interesting.

Soooo. Effy will hang out with Axl and Slash. I guess it will be an interesting night.
