I walked into the local game store hopping to find the new release of the Nintendo products. I pulled the door open and it dinged indicating that i had just stepped foot into the building.

"Good Afternoon!" I heard a soft voice say. I looked over to see a woman who looks around 19 or 20 and man i can't take my eyes off of her. I smile at her nodding, pulling myself together i walked over to the Nintendo section.

"How are we doing today sir? Anything that we can do to help." A middle age man asked. I read his name tag Link

"I'm just looking right now. Thank you." yeah im just looking at your hot coworker and wondering how i can get closer to her.

My thoughts are clouded with ways I can approach her when I came her to find a game but got something much better. I slowly walked around the whole store stealing glances every once and while. I have to know her name. Was all that i could think about.

"Pull yourself together Tommo. You came here for a game just grab it and go." I tried giving myself a little pep talk. A little more walking around and I completely forgot what game i came into get.

"Hi what game are you looking for today." I turned around shocked to see that it was her who had approached me. okay tommo time to be smooth.

"Oh honey to me you aren't a game." I said mentally patting myself on the back. She blushed as I read her name tag. Blue.

Blue's POV

6:00. I groaned rolling over to slap my snooze button. After last night I did not want to get out of bed and have any human interaction.

Last night

"Tyler I'm home with dinner." I said shutting the front door to his apartment that i was temporarily staying in.

"Oh good a women doing what she is supposed to." My boyfriend of 3 years said coming out with a beer in his hand. I knew he didn't mean it he is just drunk......for the sixth time this week.

"Now give me some sugar." I reluctantly kissed him smelling the booze on him.

"Honey, maybe we should give the beer a break. I think you have had plenty." I said trying to reason with him.

"Yeah I think you're right here catch." He says chucking the beer bottle right towards me as it shatters at my feet. I winced knowing that it defiantly cut me.

"Ha now clean it up that's what you are supposed to be doing anyways. You shouldn't even be eating just make my place spotless." He said and that defiantly stung. He was always a sexist jerk.

"Y-yes." I quickly got to work scrubbing everything for what felt like the 30th time this week. When i finished i sat down on the opposite side of him not wanting to be near him.

"I'm so glad I played that dumb game to get to you. You are such an innocent and oblivious little girl. I've never loved you. I can't believe you fell for it." He said making your heart shatter more than it already was.

"Now come over here real close." I was terrified of what was gonna happen.

"I want you gone and I never want to see you ever again." He said and I couldn't answer paralyzed from fear. Next thing I knew his palm connected with my cheek.

"Answer when I tell you something now go get all your crap and leave now."

So that's how I ended up here in a hotel room with a puffy face. I sighed rubbing my face and walking into the bathroom running myself a bath. I stepped in front of the mirror feeling so disappointed in myself.

I shut the water of, let my clothes fall to the ground and stepping into the relaxing warm water. I always loved getting up early so I can pamper myself as much as I needed before work.

After a good thirty minutes of sitting in the bath I decide it's time to get out and get ready. I dry off and put on my under garments. Before putting on my uniform I pulled out my blow dryer and fixed my hair for the day. Stepping into my uniform i found myself ready for the day and whatever it was to throw at me today.

Thankfully I had my own car and was able to get to work on time. I was always the first one there opening up the store and setting all the shelves up putting everything on display. After 40 minutes I see Link walk in we exchanged smiles as he walked into the break room. Looks like this is going to be a long day.

Around noon the busyness started picking up and more people were coming in and out. I was just finishing up helping this family and a man walked in. A pretty cute man might I add.

"Good Afternoon!" I said as he smiled at me and that smile had made my whole day better. Link told me he got it and approached the nameless man. I couldn't stop thinking about him as i helped the next handful of customers. Out of the corner of my eye I watched as he walked all over the store.

"Hey Blue it's time to trade." Alex said smiling at me. I nodded and decided to finally approach him.

"Hi what game are you looking for today." I said as I watched him look me up and down before answering.

"Oh honey to me you aren't a game."
