‘Can you not?’

I snapped to attention, realizing I had zoned out in the middle of the doorway to the Union Jack Podiatry Salon.

‘Um…sorry.’ I turned on one heel to see a girl staring angrily at me, her hands on her hips.

I felt my jaw drop and form a small ‘o’ as I gave her the once over.

She was gorgeous. She had long, straightened blonde hair that fell just above her belly button, and her figure was curvy but not fat, slim but not overly skinny. Her eyes were big, blue and sparkling, and her face was perfectly featured.

‘You going to move, or..?’ She gestured at me to get out of the way.

I felt myself blushing as I stepped out of the way. ‘Yeah, uh, sorry.’ I searched for inspiration, longing to have a conversation with this girl. ‘So, nice place here. You come here often?’

Oh my god, Harry. You just asked her if she comes to the foot doctor often. Smooth, Curly. I said to myself, mentally facepalming.

‘I work here.’ She said bluntly.

‘Oh.’ I feel my cheeks heat up. What is going on?! I’m meant to be the smooth charmer, the flirt! Maybe I’m losing my touch…

I wink cheekily at the girl and extend a hand. ‘Harry.’

She takes it and shakes my hand quickly and firmly. ‘Molly.’

‘Uh… sorry for blocking you before.’ I hid my red cheeks behind my curls, tilting my head back. ‘W-would you like to go for coffee sometime?’

The girl hesitates. She doesn’t recognize me, thank goodness. I don’t want to fall for a screaming fangirl who faints every time I smile at her.

‘I finish at six.’ She says finally, slipping a piece of paper into my pocket.

She side steps around me and enters the salon.

I pull out the paper and uncurl it. I scan the eleven digits and smile, already making plans.
