The Key to her Heart

Chapter Twenty-Two

A lady walks up to the man and I saw the side of her face and—Oh My God! It's Ms. Daggers and her crush. I quickly stand up and sit on the other side of Rodgers. Rodgers stop trying on his shoes and looked at my confused.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Rodgers asked.
"Shut up!" I snap.
He doesn't know about me helping Ms. Daggers getting her neighbors attention and he will never know. It killed me to tell Mom about it.
"Why are you acting like the police is here to arrest you?" Rodgers asked.
"Shut up." I say through gritted teeth.
"Okay." Rodgers said.
I was thankful when he started trying on his shoe again.
"Ooh, these are nice!" Rodgers cheered as he stood up. "Look G!"
To keep myself distracted from Ms. Daggers I look at the shoes and holy shit they do look nice, especially on him.
"Damn." I mumbled.
Rodgers chuckles and hops up and down excitedly.
"These are about to be my new babies!" He exclaimed.
"So no chicks?" I asked.
"Hell nah!" Rodgers said. "It's rude to cheat."
Wow. He should take his own advice because this boy has been cheating on girls since we were in third grade. Rodgers sits back down and takes the shoe off. He hugs the shoe, closes his eyes and started singing to the shoe as he petted it. What a beautiful true love.
"Oh my goodness!" A female voice says.
I freeze. Everything around me starts to look blurry (including the people). Please don't be Ms. Daggers, please don't be Ms. Daggers. Slowly I look to my right and see two guys looking at a T-shirt. I look to my left and see a woman helping her two children pick out some shoes. Turning around to see who's behind me I see a hot employee who was bending down fixing some shoes at the bottom of the shelf.
The black skinny jeans she had on was outlining her beautiful ass perfectly. If I was in a cartoon right now I'm pretty sure I'd be drooling. The employee stands up and I smell her perfume. It smelled amazing. She turns around and discover that she is actually a he.
What the fuck? Please tell me that I wasn't just crushing on a faggot. I think I'm about to puke. I turn back around with a disgusted face. Rodgers stops singing to his shoe and looked at me. A frown starts to grow on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked.
"N-nothing." I replied.
Rodgers put the shoe in the box and looks back at me.
"You sure bro?" He asked.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm sure, you ready to go?" I asked.
"You're not getting anything from here?" Rodgers asked.
"Nah, I don't really like it here." I replied. "Let's bounce."
I was happy that we were about to leave because that meant I wouldn't have to come face-to-face with Ms. Daggers. When we got to the end of the aisle Rodgers comes to a complete stop. I bump into him.
"What's the hold up?" I asked.
"O. M. G. Is that you Rodgers?" A female voice asked.
My heart stops, I crouch down so that Rodgers short body would hide me. Maybe I spoke too soon about Ms. Daggers. Rodgers chuckled a little.
"H-hu-huh?" Rodgers asked.
"That is you!" Ms. Daggers exclaimed.
I hear foot steps coming close. Rodgers bends down and I see a pale arm wrap around his neck. Shit! Hopefully she won't see me.
"Oh, and who is that behind you?" Mrs. Daggers said.
Her head peeps from around Rodgers and she sees me. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! I pretend to look at my shoes and act like something is wrong.
"Alex!" Ms. Daggers yelled.
Her voice kind of echoed throughout the store and I'm pretty sure a lot of people stopped what they were doing and looked at us. I laugh awkwardly as we hug. We swayed from side to side harshly.
"Let's talk." She said, starting to stroke my spine.
Goosebumps broke out and traveled all over my body. We started to walk away from her date and Rodgers. I look at Rodgers and he is looking at me with a questionable look on his face. I smile at him as if saying I'm sorry but I don't know what I'm sorry for.
"So I took your advice and wore a sports jersey yesterday and it got his attention like that." Mrs. Daggers said snapping her fingers.
"That's great!" I yell completely forgetting where I was.
When I realized I was at and looked around, regretting the outburst immediately.
"That's him right there." Mrs. Daggers said, nodding her head towards the guy.
I sneak a glance at him and he is good looking. Damn I'm kind of jealous I don't have a body like that. I bet he had all the girls in high school falling at his feet.
"He's . . ." I say.
"Gorgeous, I know!" Mrs. Daggers continues.
Sssuuurrre. We were silent for a while as we just stared at nothing in particular.
"I just wanted to say thanks!" Mrs Daggers added out of no where.
"Wait . . . you guys are together?" I asked.
"No, he's taking me on our first date tonight and he needed some more shoes and we're just here to for that." Mrs. Daggers replied.
I nod slowly. Cool . . . I guess.
"Dude, are you ready?" I hear Rodgers ask.
I turn around and see a huge white bag in his hand with thick draw strings.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Oh I'm sorry for holding you two up." Mrs. Daggers said. "You have a good day."
"You too." I said.
She held her arms out for me to hug her. At first I was hesitant but eventually I bent down and hugged her. Her hands were extremely close to my butt so I made sure the hug didn't last long.
"See you at school, Alex." She said.
"Yeah." I say, my voice almost inaudible.
I then start to walk towards Rodgers. When I got to him I asked:
"Did you already check out?"
"Duh, why do you think I have this bag in my hand." He replied raising the bag up. "Where do you want to go next?"
There was this new store that opened up and it had sex clothes for men and I wanted to check it out.
"Follow me." I said, starting to walk faster.
