that night, both luke and florence couldn't sleep. their minds kept drifting off to eachother, in fact.
florence naturally had a bit of a sleeping problem, so when this happens she usually goes on a walk around the neighborhood. theres nothing really scary about her neighborhood. it was fairly quiet, and she would always go to the the quick check near her house and have a chat with the cute cashier.
luke, on the other hand, didnt know the town to well yet, but he did know there was a quick check a block away, so thats where he went.
"whoa, watch where youre going." florence says, as she looks at the boy he bumped into her from behind, seeming to be in a rush.
"uh, sorry." he says, then running off into the same quick check shes going into. she mutters something to herself, continuing inside to quick check.
luke hadn't seen that it was florence who he bumped into, he didnt care at that, he was terrified of the darkness of the sky at night. inside he was fine, but he just doesnt trust night time, espicially in this new town.
as luke hears the ringing if the bell, he turns to see florence walk in, and she looks up, and smiles at him, neither of them exactly knowing they bumped into eachother.
"we tend to run into eachother a good bit, dont we?" florence chuckles, as luke smiles at her beautiful smile.
"yes, we do. you couldnt sleep either?" luke asks, as florence shakes her head no.
"some guy bumped into me across the street, then he came in here." florence says, looking around a bit to maybe see someone else.
"oh, that might of been me." luke admits, chuckling a bit.
"dont be surprised if you see a letter in your mailbox saying your court date." florence says, heading into the chip isle, as luke laughs, and follows her.
"do you come here a lot?" luke asks.
"i guess, i come whenever i cant sleep, and thats a good amount." florence says, as luke then starts to think about florence's sleeping problem. if it is a problem, at that.
florence grabs a pack of gum from the top shelf of the cip isle, and makes her way to the check out, where she sees calum standing there, smiling when he sees her.
"hi calum." florence smiles, handing him her pack of gum.
"hey flo, cant sleep again?" calum asks, ringing up the gum and handing it back to her.
"yup." florence sighs, handing him .35 cents.
"whos the boy?" calum asks, as they both turn to luke, who is looking at the chips.
"thats luke, i just met him like, yesterday. hes pretty cool." florence says, as calum smirks at her.
"you like him, dont you?" calum whispers.
"what? no i dont, i dont do relationships, remember?" florence reminds calum, as he sighs.
"i remember, i remember." calum says, as florence then sigh.
"but he is really cute." florence admits, as luke then comes up, pays for his chips, and him and florence leave calum, but not before calum winking and giving a thumbs up to florence, in which she rolls her eyes in response.
