"Shit" a voice said as I started to sit up. He was holding his hand out in order to help me get up, and I gratefully took it. "I'm so sorry!" he said, and I shook my head "No worries, I wasn't really looking where I was going". That's when I saw what everyone had been laughing about. There were a group of guys, some holding cameras, and some grabbing items on shelves, but everything was centered around a guy holding a mountain of items in his hands, seemingly struggling to carry everything. "Just as long as you're okay". I nodded my head. Another member of the group turned to us. He was rather tall and built quite well. He had a cheeky smile on his face, and he was still partially laughing, dimples showing on both sides of his face. He was rather cute. His smile turned into a sort of worried frown as he took in the sight of me brushing myself off. I caught his eye as he made his way over to us. "Tareq what have you done now?" He said in a joking manner. Tareq, the guy who had just knocked me over did a sort of half laugh. "It's your fault, I was too busy recording the situation." I smiled as I looked back at the guy still performing a balancing act with all the items in his arms.

"Are you okay?" He asked looking me up and down, with the same worried expression he had on his face moments before. I nodded my head, "Yeah I'm fine, I was in a world of my own." I smiled at him. The fluorescent lighting beaming down from the ceiling was reflecting in his eyes, making the blue in them really stand out. I couldn't help but smile even more. "No excuses" He said, "Tareq can be clumsy sometimes, so we've got to make it up to you". The smile on my face must have turned to a look of confusion, because his face lit up and he said "Pick anything you want!" And just as quick as before, my expression changed into a look of shock. I slowly shook my head "No way that's ridiculous, I'm fine, you don't have to make anything up to me." 

He flashed me a smile, "Come on, we're filming a video for YouTube. Whatever Chris over there can carry, I'll pay for." I looked back at the guy. He was carrying all sorts of electronics, among other things, on top of a flat screen TV. "It looks like he's already going to cost you hundreds, I don't want you to have to spend more money than you have to." I gave him a small smile. "Thank you though." His shoulders dropped and he did an over dramatic groan. "I guess I'll just have to pick something out for you then." He gave me another beaming smile and turned towards the electronics. I followed after him, Tareq just behind, still filming. "No, no, no! It's okay, I'm not going to sue you or anything." I laughed at the last part. "Tough, we're getting you something." He turned to me and smiled, before continuing to look over all the electrical items laid out in front of him. "Besides, it's not even guaranteed, if Chris drops anything, he loses everything." I looked back over at Chris. Tareq had rejoined into the group, as it looked as though he was really struggling. He was making his way towards the aisles, which probably meant he was going to the checkouts. 

"This one!" I looked back at the guy in front of me, who was holding a pretty expensive looking tablet in his hands. I shook my head. "Nope, this is the one, great for drawing, editing, all sorts. This is the one most of my team has." He said. I was rather speechless. Was he serious? Who could possibly have so much money to spare? He started walking towards his friends. I sheepishly followed behind him, feeling like I might have been dreaming. He stopped just in front of me and allowed me to catch up.

"You really don't have to get me anything." I said. I heard him chuckle next to me, "Nonsense, we're buying all this other stuff anyway, what's an extra thing on top of that?" He smiled again. He had a very nice smile, it was hard to say no to. "Well at least make it something cheaper then, like a box of cereal or something." I said, my persuasive skills failing to make any sort of difference, as this guy clearly had his mind set on it. He just shook his head and quickened his pace.

We caught up to the other guys who were just about to reach the checkout. "One more thing" said the guy next to me. He placed the tablet on top of the pile of items Chris was carrying. Tareq filming as if he was shooting an action packed adventure movie. It was quite a sight to take in. One of the store assistants must have seen them coming, as she was now sat awaiting this mass of items to fall onto the conveyor belt. As soon as Chris placed the items down, the rest of the people in the group cheered. As the lady began scanning the items, everyone seemed to turn to me. 

The guy who had just been carrying the items was the first to introduce himself. "Hi, I'm Chris, nice to meet you. I would've come and helped you earlier, but I was a little busy." He gave me a small smile. "That's okay, if those things fell whilst you were trying to help me, I'm sure I wouldn't be in any ones good books." I laughed. "I'm Y/N. It's nice to meet you too." He smiled at me properly this time, as another one stepped forward and put his hand out for me to greet him. "I'm Jake" I smiled and nodded. Next was the tall one with the goofy smile. He gave me a little wave "Chandler." I waved back, and he flashed me an even bigger smile. 

I felt so surreal as I watched all these expensive items being scanned at the checkout as if it was nothing. Watching as the list of items kept growing, and the total went over the $1000 mark. It didn't stop there. I looked at the guy standing next to me and he just smiled, no worry in his face whatsoever.
