Thank God it was the end of the day and I could finally lock the store up. Right as I was counting profits for the day the bell on the door rang signaling that there was a customer.

"Sorry, but I was just about to close up" I politely said while still counting up the money.

"I won't take long I promise" as soon as I heard his voice I looked up and I was surprised to see an attractive guy.

I nodded my head at him signaling for him to go ahead get what he needed. He gave me a brief smile and began to search through the store. With in moments he showed up to the register with his items. I looked up and gave him a polite smile.

"Will that be all for you today?" I asked the same question I had been asking for eight hours now

"Nope. Id also like to get your number baby girl" his tone was confident that I'd say yes, but I was at work and workers were prohibited from having any personal interactions with people during their shift.

"Sorry but that's something you can't get" I said with a straight face that most likely made me look constipated.

He made a pouty face and asked "why not" in a seductive tone. I looked up at him with raised eyebrows making it seem as though I had no interest in him, but to be honest I was internally smiling if that makes any sense. I had been working a lot and so there wasn't really any time for me to go out and party, leaving me to not be able to hook up with anyone. I had been on edge lately from the lack of sex and it was honestly stressing me out. I looked up at him one more time before finally rolling my eyes and grabbing a pen. I grabbed his arm without asking if I could and I pushed his sleeve up allowing me to write my number on him.

"Thanks babe. Ill call you around ten " he threw a grin and a wink my way and then he left.

I knew she was a baddie the moment I saw her. It was just in the way she held herself, she stood tall and confident. I had to get her number no matter what, but I knew it wouldn't be easy.

Damn every time she would talk to me I'd stare at her lips Wondering how they'd feel against me. Damn this girl has me hooked. I was actually a bit surprised that she gave me her number, I just hoped she wouldn't catch feelings. She seems like a good person and I would want he to get hurt, I should really make it clear that I'm just looking to fuck.

"Who are you drooling over" my boy Nate asked while smirking and raising his eyebrows at me.

"Just a girl" I mumbled. Not wanting Nate to be able to imagine her body so I left out a description of her.

"Just a girl hmm?" He laughed shaking his head

"Yea just a girl" I repeated, but this time I was trying to convince myself more than him
