CALUM:

I was peacefully trying out bass's and guitars playing various songs when I spotted someone walk into the store with a light grey hoody and a pair of black skinny jeans. I quickyl looked away and tried to focus on my picking.

You would think that after performing loads of concerts and stadiums, I wouldn't get nervous but the minute she stepped into the store I started to get a little embarrassed and uncomfortable. I stopped playing and stood up to go look at the gibson's.

It was Michaels birthday coming up in a week and i had no idea what to get him. Michael wasn't easy to shop for, all he really cared for at the moment was sleeping, eating, video games and some hot girl he thought was checking him out at target yesterday. But when I walked past some guitar straps one caught my eye, a black leather strap with a cartoon dick hanging from the bottom. I had no choice but to grab it for Mikey. It just reminded me too much of him. Around the corner i spotted a bass and picked it up having a sudden urge to play one of my favourite songs, pumped up kicks by foster the people, a simple riff but one i admired a lot.
I sat down on a chair nearby and plugged it into a lone amp meant for testing, I quickly lost all sense of my surroundings as I let the sounds drown out everything in my head.

CASEY:

I couldn't help but notice the overwhelming amount of guitars lining the stores walls, corner to corner. I had my earplugs in and on full blast, reminding myself to sipp my bubble tea every now and then being very carefull not to spill it anywhere or I would be in some deep shit.

I was walking in the direction of the gibson guitars getting a little nervous in the process. So help me God with my clumsiness and the luck I had, I was quite surprised I made it halfway without practically burning down the place. I quickened my pace a little when i saw a shelf full of guitar straps next to the gibsons but as i spotted it my foot caught something. I took a step and seemed to have tripped over someones shoe. Fml out of the entire store i seemed to have found my self tripping over a guys foot, classic casey. But it was too late to recover, he flinched and reflexively extended his arm to grab me as I fell, but quickly jerked it back realising in the process that his guitar was about to slam onto the ground. Me, well I face planted, hard, spilling the entire contents of my bubble tea onto the floor and all over my clothes. well fuck.
I got up quick on my feet and looked up to see who I stupidly tripped over.

He had soft brown hair with a dirt blonde streak running through the quiff, brown eyes and a body so hot I wanted to cry right then and there because he made me look like a cheese ball. I on the other hand was drenched from head to toe in cold tea and face planted infront of the guy just 2 seconds ago. This is the part where i go ponder about my life decisions and go die in a hole.
"hey..uh you okay there?"
"pffff i'm fine, this happens a lot" jesus christ i am so awkward, I mentally face palmed at what i had just said.

At this point I had bright red cheeks from blushing so hard and my arms rapped tightly around my body trying to keep myself from freezing to death in this suddenly cold ass shop.

His eyes were tense and worried but quickly softened when he realised my body quivering with goosebumps.

"hey you look really cold do you want my jacket?"
I shake my head declining his offer but he ignores me and wraps his jacket around my body.
"sorry about that, ill get you a new drink"
"no it's fine, ill just go before I inevitably burn the place down"

he responds with a small chuckle and flashes me a smile that could make any girls heart flutter. The grin takes me by surprise and suddenly I feel my legs go weak, causing me to collapse. He quickly reaches out and grabs me by the sides of my shoulders

"wooaah weak knees?" I grin a bit but bite at my lip to stop myself from smiling.

"yeah it happens when I'm nervous"
