Before it ends

Labels are for the boring...

"So." Emily sauntered out of the living room. "You and Hayley huh?" I was in the kitchen making a sandwich. Minding my business. Emily wasn't.

"I don't know what your talking about." I took the cheese out of the fridge.

"I know she's you girlfriend. Montgomery." She dragged out the last word.

"She's not my girlfriend. Montgomery." I did the same and she rolled her eyes.

"So why were you kissing outside the house yesterday?"

"How the hell did you know about that?"

"I know everything little brother." She said as if it were obvious. "I get it. You're not defined yet." I placed the cut lettuce and tomato on my cheese. "Well you have my blessing if that's what your waiting for." I placed a bred slice on top and cut the sandwich in half. "She's awesome- and she works in Victoria secret, so you're a lucky man." I put the bread back in the cupboard "Maybe if I go there she can give me a family discount."

"I'm leaving." I went to my room upstairs. My sister was the definition of annoying.

I opened my laptop and typed 'Victoria secret' into Google.
"I'm a lucky man" what does that even- shit!
I scrolled through the pictures of the store, there were so many.
Dan.
I dialled Dan's number.

"Hello?"

"Hello bud-"

"Hayley works in Victoria secret."

"What?"

"Think Dan."

"I don't speak panic. Explain."

"The girl store."

"There are a lot of-"

"The one Bree liked. Pink and black."

"Pink and black?"

"Mhmm."

"Oh shit. Jackpot."

"What-"

"She probably has like a major discount. She probably buys from the store all the time. All.the.fucking.time"

"Not true, you worked in McDonald's all summer and you never-"

"I thought we weren't talking about that Ryan. It was not to be mentioned."

"What? That you were fired because two girls complained to your boss, using the words 'sexual harassment'-"

"Shut the fuck up dude."

"Okay. Whatever, here's the good part."

"I'm listening."

"Hayley's at work right now."

"Go see her."

"I can't just- she never told where she worked for a reason. She didn't want me to get the wrong idea."

"Why? Because dumb blondes and bimbos work in Victoria secret."

"Shut the fuck up dude."

"Look, fun fact. Women like confidence, and surprises. Go with some handcuffs and those heart shaped condoms they give out on Valentine's Day, because its about time mate, it really is." I scoffed.

"What about flowers?"

"That could work to."

"You think?" I reminded myself never to take girl advice from Dan.

"Yes I do. Now are you going or what?"

"I'm going."

"Good. Tell me how it goes."
