Friends or more: it's complicated

Sophia is a dropout from high school. She started working at a grocery store as a cashier since it was the only job that would hire her. Sophia had fallen in love with one of her co-workers and their relationship didn't go to well. Her hurt was torn in half she swore never to fall in love again.

She worked hard and avoided dating guys even harder. Sophia didn't need any men in her life she had her two best friends from work. They had an inseparable friendship that was going on to 3 years. Sophia had a perfect life until one day she had gotten sick and was out for 6 months from work. She was forced to move back into her parent's house with her 3 sisters, brother, and their dogs.

On May 6th, she ended up going back to work and her life went to hell. Missing 6 months of work she missed out on big news that was going through out the entire store. David Sabalich had arrived a few days after Sophia had left. Every woman in the store was going crazy for his attention. He was known as the quiet foreign hottie since he always kept to himself with a serious look on his face. He hardly said a word not even to his customers until May 6th this quiet hottie breaks out of his shell and Sophia breaks her promise from her distance from men. Could this be a new beginning for the both of them?

"Thank you," said Sophia. "have a wonderful day."

The old man hobbled away with his cane and single plastic bag.
Once he came out of view, she dropped her smile. Aches shot up and down her ankle. She looked down her aisle.
A big fat woman planted boxes of sodas and party sized bags of chips. Her stomach jiggled with every motion.
Goddammit, she thought. But, instead of showing her feelings of angst, she smiled and said, "Hello. How are you today?"

"Fine," the fat woman said. Her breathing sounded as if she were snoring.

Sophia scanned the items.
Soft beeps confirmed that each item had been scanned.
She's one can of soda away from meeting God, she thought.
