I fucking hate buying tampons.

It is literally the most awkward thing in the world, except eye contact with strangers.

As I push my cart full of a box of pads, a box of tampons, three quarts of Ben and Jerry's, three frozen pizzas and a bag of Kit-Kats, through the general store, I make eye contact with guy with wild colored hair.

Peering quickly into his cart I see loads of partying materials. He turns directly into the aisle I wanted to go in, and that would be kind of strange to follow him in there, so I refrain from getting cookie dough and instead go to check out.

Now, tampons are embarrassing to buy in the first place, but it's especially awkward and embarrassing when you get a hot guy at the checkout.

Normally I'm a pretty confident person, I've gotten whistled at enough times to know that much, however I could basically smell the judgement from this guy.

So what? I'm on my period and I am lonely! I wanted to scream in his face.

"Hey at least you aren't buying The Notebook, right?." The boy, Ned, his tag read, said not even looking up from scanning my ice cream.

I scratched the back of my neck, "Oh, um yeah. I actually already own it." I said awkwardly.

He laughed, "Well think of me when you eat this pizza."

"Yeah I'm probably going to accidentally burn the top of my mouth on it though." I scoffed.

"Maybe, we could chat later?" Ned

asked shyly writing something on my receipt.

The note read, call me 876-265-1326 xx

I nodded my head rapidly as the bag was handed to me with a wink, "Happy bleeding."

(AN inspired by the fact that I actually bought all this stuff today and there was a hot cashier

And he said happy bleeding to me as I walked away
