I told you guys I would get one out today!
(Sean's POV)
I wake up to the sound of screaming, again. Why did I ever set my alarm to people screaming? I reach over and lazily try to press snooze on my iPhone, but because of my laziness I end up just knocking it onto the hardwood floor. Of course it, just, hits the volume button turning up the sound of people screaming.
"Ughhhhhhhhh," I groggily sit up and rub my eyes. Then quickly reach down over the bed and turn off my alarm while simultaneously sitting back up. 6:00 am, just to sell some plants, not worth it. Luckily I'm working with Robin today instead of Mark. He's a good friend but sometimes he's a little to excited. And I am NOT up for his over-excited self every morning. I look down at my iPhone in my hands, 6:06 am. I should probably be getting ready for work. I swing my legs over the bed and stand up, I walk over to the bathroom with iPhone in hand and set it down on the counter.
While brushing my teeth I get a text from Robin,
Robean:
Excited for a another day of work? :p
Green Potatoes:
Ehhh, not so much :(
Robean:
Aww come on, I thought you would've liked seeing me there
Green Potatoes:
Nah you too stinky
Robean:
;(
Green Potatoes:
:)See you soon stinky
Robean:
Yup, bye pooface
I chuckle, he always manages to cheer me up. I spit my toothpaste into the sink, then messily style my green hair with gel.
"Good enough." I look through my closet and throw on a red, long sleeved shirt, with black skinny jeans. Simple but stylish. I take out my iPhone and check the time, 6:31 am. It only takes me 15 minutes to get there anyways, so I got time. I check my social media while laying in bed, nothing new, just people being, well, people.
(Time Skip)
I check the time and my heart stops. 6:54 am. Oh fuck. I leap out of bed and pretty much jump my stairs. Tearing through my door. Wait a minute, my keys. I immediately book it back to my apartment and fumble with the lock on my door. Finally I lock it but as soon as I turn around I run somebody over with my full body weight. My eyes widen and I get off the person as quick as I can. It's a woman with short, black, wavy hair, wearing a black beanie and a big beige coat that's practically swallowing her whole.
"Ah fuck, I'm so so so sorry miss." I reach out my hand, she looks up and takes it.
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine." She immediately looks down with a flustered look on her face. While her voice trails off quietly.
"I'm sorry what did you say?" This time she looks up. I see she has green eyes, freckles, and quite the eye makeup. "Nothing" she mumbles.
"Alrighty then, well I'm so sorry miss...?" I say this hoping she'll catch on and say her name.
"Signe" she mumbles. What a pretty name, 'Signe'. She seems so embarrassed and flustered. I feel horrible but I need to get to work. WORK! Fuck that's right, I'm late.
"Well I'm so sorry Signe, but I really need to be going." She keeps looking down and mumbling to herself, as if she's in her own world. "Well I'll be going then, nice bumping into you!" And I run off thinking about how cute she is and how horrible I feel.
(Signe's POV)
The green haired man runs off leaving me a flustered mess. Shit, that really hurt. But he seemed so stressed, I didn't want to make him feel bad. I wonder why he was in such a hurry. Probably late for something. That seems to usually be the case.
I continue my way out of the building and onto the sidewalk. This time I decide to look up as to not bump into another person today. Well, less bump and more, driven over by truck. That's what it really felt like. I look around at all the shops, Brighton really is special. The shops are so quaint and unique, I love'em, And finally I reach my destination, 'Lovely Lilacs'. It's the closest gardening shop. And I desperately need some plants in my apartment. More specifically, succulents.
I open the door to hear it jingle my presence and find that I'm the only one there. Yes, I won't have any awkward situations! I take advantage of being the only there by humming some Undertale tunes while looking through the succulent section. Then I notice some green hair up front by the counter and a conversation. Now that I'm not so flustered, I notice he has an Irish accent. I fully look up to see the man I ran into and what seems to be one of his co-workers. Well shit. I quickly look down hoping he didn't notice me staring and listen in on their conversation.
"Yeah man I feel HORRIBLE! I just wanted to get here on time and of course I pretty much run over this woman." I hear him moan. I look up to see the green haired man put his head in his hands. While the other puts a hand on his back. "It's alright, I'm sure you're never going to see her again anyways." Then the green haired-man looks up and makes direct eye contact with me. My eyes widen, shit! This is going to be awkward.
(Sean's POV)
I look up to see her, Signe. I turn around and whisper to Robin, "She's here!" He looks around the store. "You mean her?" I look at Robin with a 'what the hell?!' face. I grab his arm and turn him around.
"Yes her! she's the only other person in this store!" I shout whisper, wanting to make sure he knows I'm upset with him but not so that Signe can hear."She's kinda cute you gotta admit." "Yeah I guess, but no is not th-"then we hear light footsteps coming our way. We both turn around super fast hoping to hide that we were just talking about her. She's already at the counter looking at us weirdly.
"He said you were cute." Robin says smugly. Of course he does that just to make me look like an idiot. I face palm, "Oh my god Robin." He just laughs and leaves the awkward encounter by walking into the break room. I look up from my face palm to hear her giggling. Which makes me smile, Yeah, she's pretty cute.
She notices me looking and quickly stops while she looks down. "You know you don't have to look down, you ARE pretty cute." I say this with a smirk, she looks back up with tiniest of blushes on her cheeks.
"Thanks" she says with a tiny voice and smile. I take her succulent from the counter and begin to scan when she speaks up."You know I never did get you name." I guess I was to much in a hurry to really introduce myself. "That's right! My name is Sean." I look at her with a smile which she gladly returns.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Sean."She goes back to her normal, quiet voice.
"You to, Signe. I hope to see you soon!" I say this genuinely, I'm kinda sad she's leaving so soon. I just met her, why am I sad?
She regains her confidence and looks back up at me. "We'll see, as long as you don't run me over again!" I chuckle, "Yeah, yeah" I reply back playfully.
"Bye Sean!"
"Bye Signe!" I call back, and the jingling of bells tells me she's gone. I keep my eyes on the door where she last was. Robin comes back out with a smirk, "You TOTALLY have a crush on her." I glare back at him. "I was watching the entire time, you two are such cuties." I sigh, so what if I have a teeny, tiny, microscopic crush on her, it'll go away in no time...right?
