Jake Portman Imagines

Store After dark

I smiled, as I stood looking around. Lightly moving on the balls of my feet gently humming along with the little music being plaid. There was no noise but the quiet echo of the music over the speakers and the creak of a cart wheel somewhere in the huge place, it stretched endlessly In almost all directions, the bright red numbers above the only hope of not getting lost in this maze of high shelves and display baskets, The harsh white lights shining so brightly on everything it gave it and otherworldly feeling, the strange lack of a temperature it wasn't hot, it wasn't cold it was just nothing. Another plain of existence every so often catching the eye of someone else.
I walked slowly down another Ilse gently pulling along my basket in wheels I spotted some bags of chips so I grabbed some throwing them into my basket walking on some more hearing the cackle of the motion sensor witch who sat on the end of the isle with a huge price sticker on it I continued on picking up this and that until I turned a corner seeing the stock cart and the piles and piles of kitchen towels being stocked by the familiar skinny figure.
He stood stocking in his usual blue jeans and shirt his red uniform vest over them his dark hair sat perfectly stiff fluffy from his shower as he sighed he looked he had been doing this forever I smiled creeping up behind him and ticking his skinny excuse for a waist
"AAAAHHH!!" He yelped turning to see me almost dropping what he had in his hands "y/n" he sighed as she saw me pushing my hands away "you scared me"
"I'm sorry Jacob I just wanted to make you jump" I giggled
"Well you succeeded" he sighed returning to his work
"Will you be done soon?' I asked
"Uhh yeah ten more minutes" he says checking his watch "you go get ice cream I'll meet you at the check out" he says
"Can't I have a kiss?" I whined wrapping my arms around him resting my head on his back
"Y/n, you'll get me in trouble" he complained pushing me away
"Oohhh please" I whine
He checked around knowone was here so he smiled and gave my lips a little kiss
"Happy now?" He asks and I nodded "alright, go on I'll meet you at the check out and ring you up before we go" he says
"I think I'd rather stay with you" I smiled
"Really?" He laughs
"I get scared in here at night, it's spooky, it's otherworldly especially when knowone else is around" I explain
"I know you don't like it, you didn't have to come in and wait for me y/n" he reminds finishing his stocking
"Well it's dark outside and In here it get kisses" I smiled giving him a little kiss
"I know, alright I'll take this back and we'll get home" he smiled kissing my head before he took his stock cart to the back room so I wondered thought the endless ilse's till I arrived at the frozen section grabbing some ice cream and some other bits and bobs for dinner before heading as best I could towards the check outs.
The long infiniatly stretching line of tills with not a soul operating them or even near them the strange music sounding creepy in the quiet until I saw Jake come to a till and open it up I loaded up everything and he scanned it for me I was about to grab my purse from my handbag but he grabbed his wallet from his pocket and scanned his card before I had chance shutting the till down and throwing his uniform on the side
"You didn't have to do that"
"Well I did" he smiled taking my hand and some of the shopping we quickly left going out into the darkness of the night the strange warm of the air and the glimmering orange from the pumpkin display out the front of the store "come on y/n, let's get home" he smiled tugging me towards our car.
