Something About Being A Mate... Whaaat?

Chapter Five: Jesse.

I've only just walked into Sanity. Sanity always have amazing deals, Right now they have three DVDs for twenty dollars and two CDs for sixteen... How could I pass that up? Ooh, I pick up the new Step Up movie. (Miami Heat) it's one of the movies on sale, just my luck, I was going to buy it for twenty-five bucks. I pick up Iron Man Three and The Conjuring.

I'm hoping The Conjuring is good, I've heard/seen so many bad comments about it.

I walk to the CD stacks and search for Bullet For My Valentines new album, Temper Temper. Found it and gladly it's on special. Right underneath it, I can see the album Midnight In The Labyrinth, by Cradle Of Filth. I pull it out and there's the special sticker I was Hoping to find. Well, today has turned out to be my lucky day.

I walk up to the counter and purchase my new entertainment. The chick behind the counter smiles at me, "Thanks for coming in today." She scans the DVDs and CDs then looks at me with a twinkle in her eye, "Nice taste." She winks at me and puts my stuff in a bag. Uhh... Did she just hit on me or was that sarcasm?

"Uhm, thanks?" I think...

She smiles deviously at me, causing the several piercings on her bottom lip to sparkle, "No problem." I pay her the money and she grabs the receipt.

I turn to walk away but she says, "Hang on a minute, chicky!" She flips her purple side fringe to the side to show off sparkly grey eyes and a small tattoo on the side of her face. She grabs a pen and smiles at me. Her smile is absolutely beautiful...

"Okay then..."

She scribbles something down on the back of the receipt and then pushes it across the counter towards me, "It's my number." I look up into her eyes and then down at the piece of paper. I reach out and grab onto it. Her fingers lingered on mine and she smiles sweetly at me. Butterflies are flying around my stomach and I can feel something through her touch.

I slowly take the paper, "Thanks..."

She tilts her head and I get a better view of the tattoo on her face. It's a little dove on her temple and swirls surrounding it. Somehow, it really suits her, "Call me sometime, Cutey."

"Maybe." I whisper. Her face drops a little and her smile disappears. I chew on my lip, "Okay, I will."

She smiles and I turn away from her. Damnit, why did I have to say that? I rush out of the store with the receipt in my hand. I look down at the flimsy piece of paper in my hand and read her writing

P.S you're adorable!

I can't help but let myself smile, I'm not into the whole lesbian thing but I don't know... There was just something about her.

"Hey!" I rub my head. I've just casually smashed into someone's chest. Yes, good move, Ash...

I hear a wolf whistle and I look up at my victim, "Dayum, Girl!" He smirks at me and kisses my fore head.

I smile, "Jesse. Hello." I shake my head to make sure my hair is covering the side of my face that's been clawed.

He chuckles, "Hey, you're wearing the pants I bought you."

I look up at him and smile, "Yeah, I..."

He hisses, "What the fuck happened to your face?" He touches my cheek tenderly.
