Addiction

Harry's POV

I got the job at Lush.

So guess where I am now?

I'll give you a hint: I'm at Lush.

I mean, it's really nice and feminine which is enjoyable because they have such nice smelling stuff and the bath bombs are in these cool ass shapes so it's fun. But the smell.

As wonderful as it is, it's so fucking strong.

Mya is actually shopping in the mall that's connected to this store, with Joy anyways so I'll probably see them if they stop by.

That also means I'm going to have to buy them stuff so they can get a discount.

But what else am I for, as Mya loves to so beautifully put it.

I sighed as I set a new box of these pink bombs down on the shelf and smiled as I passed a customer. I walked over to an empty table, holding an open box of these bombs that were shaped like a space ship. I began restocking them, taking extra time to make the pile look classy by stacking the bombs in different ways.

I heard someone clear their throat behind me and turned around to find Julia standing there. Her blonde ombré hair was tied up in a pony tail and she wore yoga pants and a t shirt. She smiled at me, dimple showing in her right cheek as she looked at me.

"You uh," I stumbled, "You died your hair?"

She laughed, "normal people say hi...but yeah I did. What do you think?"

I nodded, chuckling, "Hey. Sorry. And yeah, it looks good."

I nodded, giving her a tight lipped smile before I turned back to my beautiful tower of soapy spacey sexiness.

"So you work here now?" She asked as she moved to stand next to me. I smiled politely and nodded.

"Yeah, first day, actually," I sighed, standing back and analyzing my tower. I shrugged and picked up the now empty box and moved around Julia before I made my way into the shop. She followed me, much to my discomfort, and I sighed before I moved behind the counter, setting the box down. I smiled at her and waited.

She said nothing.

So I coughed awkwardly and looked around, "Uh we have some deals. For bath bombs and shit. They're uh...pretty good."

Julia looked around and nodded, "yeah I saw some."

I nodded, "You should check em out."

Please save me. Somebody. Mya, Joy.

As if on cue, I looked to the entrance of the store and felt my face break into a wide smile at the sight of my girlfriend and her best friend. Their arms were full of Victoria's Secret bags (which made me pleasantly curious as to what Mya possibly got) and other bags and I craned my neck and waved at them. Mya's face lit up like the stars as she squealed and pulled Joy in. I excused myself from Julia and walked to meet them.

I laughed as Mya flung herself into my arms and hugged me tightly, squishing her bags.

"Hi," she squealed, "you got the job!"

"Yeah I did," I laughed, turning to Joy. I gave her a small hug before I smiled.

"Hey," I greeted. She smiled and nodded.

"How are you going to manage school, basketball and a job?" Joy asked. I shrugged.

"I'll find a way. I might drop the two classes I don't have with Mya and take them next semester since i only have one class then," I replied. They nodded and Joy looked behind me, with furrowed eyebrows. I frowned and turned around to see what she was looking at and saw Julia, completely occupied with some weird coffee face mask.

"Oh yeah," I shrugged, "she came by."

"She dyed her hair?" Joy asked. I nodded, scratching my neck.

"Seems so," I replied. Mya shrugged and sighed.

"These bags are fucking heavy," she groaned. I smirked at her and nodded to her bags.

"I can keep those for you guys if you're gonna keep shopping," I offered, "I have space in the back."

They looked at each other and smiled before they each held their bags out for me to take. I rolled my eyes and took them before I smirked.

"I'll be right back."

I retreated into the back and set down the bags near my locker, making sure that the manager who was in there at the same time I went in knew that they belonged to me.

I returned to the store to find Julia talking to Mya and Joy.

Oh joy.

Haha. Funny me.

I noticed that there was a customer waiting to pay and an empty register as my other colleague, Meghan, was busy with a different customer. I walked back to the counter, smiling at a customer who was obviously waiting to pay. She was about my age. She had brown hair and green eyes and smirked when she saw me. I smiled politely and took her products from her before scanning it under the machine.

"Find everything you were looking for?" I asked. She smirked as she stared at me.

"I think I just did," she replied. I rose an eyebrow and looked back at her before I looked over at her.

"I erm..appreciate your comment," I mumbled, "but I have a girlfriend."

She shrugged, "she doesn't have to know."

I nodded and licked my lips, "true."

I held up a pointer finger, asking for a minute before I leaned over and looked for Mya.

"Mya!"

She turned and looked at me, walking over when I beckoned her. The unknown girl looked confused as Mya and Joy came to stand beside us.

"What's up?" She asked. I gestured to her and looked at the girl.

"This is my friend, Mya," I said, looking at my girlfriend and then back at the girl. Mya seemed to catch on quickly and nodded, smirking. The girl smirked and winked at me causing me to shiver.

"This girl wants me to cheat on my girlfriend," I explained, "should I?" Joy stared, completely lost.

"Oh."

"Should I?"

We looked to the girl who smirked, "I mean, if she doesn't know then It won't hurt anyone right? And I'm sure I can give uh.." she stopped to read my name tag, "Harry here, a good time."

Mya chuckled, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder, "I'm sure you could. But the thing is sweetheart, he's in a relationship. And has been for the last five years. With me. So unless you want to end up with a broken nose, I suggest you take what you paid for, and leave."

The girl gasped and looked at me as I printed out her receipt. I met her flabbergasted gaze and smiled, shrugging. I handed her the receipt, circling a small chunk of text before handing the receipt.

"That's a survey for you to fill out on our service today," I began, with a bright smile, "I expect you'll give nothing but wonderful comments!"

She scoffed and took her Lush bag and receipt before she rolled her eyes and left. Meghan and Joy burst out laughing from their places beside us.

"Nice one," Meghan nodded. Joy snickered and Mya smiled triumphantly.

"That was satisfying," she snickered.
