Not much happened when we first met. It's a day or two later that things were getting interesting. I went to my cash register to clock in, and she walks up to my to ask for a small favor. She put on this really cute, sad puppy dog face, I forgot what she was asking for. I pretended that it didn't faze me and replied,
"Hey, do you always use the sad puppy dog face when asking for something?" She walks off.
Later, as I'm cleaning up some watches at my counter, she comes by to chat. I continue what I'm doing while chatting.
(Some chit-chat)
XY: There's some white watches knocked over on the bottum. You better clean them up.
XX:
Ok. (Locks up counter, moves on to next counter, ignoring the watches she mentioned.)
XY:
Jerk!
XX:
You have a lot of these expressions. Do you practice them in the mirror?
XY:
Ha ha. My faces does all these retarded things. Sometimes when I get my picture taken, I'll be all like
, and they turn out badly.
XX:
I bet your loosey at poker. I'd like to play with you, so that I can take all your money.
XY:
I'm very good at poker.
XX:
Then this'll be interesting.
(XX takes his lunch break. End scene)
Following this day, the Chirstmas shopping season goes into full swing. Too busy to have fun and it's all work, all the time. When our eyes did meet, she'd make one of her "retarded" faces, and keep walking. She calls out sick for a few days and her last day was Christmas Eve. My day off. I was hanging out with buddy of mine and we were having a little adventure of our own. His boss gave him a bad check for payday, and we were driving out to see him to collect. After my buddy's boss gave him some cash from an ATM, we hit the malls looking for a good deal on a dvd player, and pick up some dvds (a 3pack for $20 with X-Men I and II, along with Daredevil{lossey movie, but kick ass features}). We eventually drove back to pick one up at the mall were I work. $35 with a $10 dollar rebate.
On the way back to his place, I was wondering if she was working that day (actually, I was wondering that all day). So while I'm driving, I borrow his cell, and call my store. I need the backgroud noise for the cars to appear that I'm busy. The first two trys, I was put on hold by differet people, and the line was droped. The third time, (we drove past his place by now) I get a buddy of mine on the line, he says she busy with a customer. I haven't mentioned to any other coworkers that I'm interested in her, so I guess I'll trust him with this one.
XX:
Hey, is XY there today?
Him:
Yeah, she's busy with a customer. Can I take a message?
XX:
umm,
Hey, buddy. It's me, 777. XY seems cool and I'm gonna ask her out. Can you cover for her and put her on the phone?
Him:
Yeah, sure man. Hold on a sec'.
XY:
Hello?
XX:
Hey XY, how ya doin'?
XY:
Great!
XX:
Well since this is your last day and your not gonna have a chance to see me again, I thought I'd get your number.
XY:
We've got to play poker some time.
XX:
And I'll take all your money.
(she give me her cell number. I repeat it out loud so that my buddy in the car can jot it down.)
Haven't been able to get a hold of her since yesterday. Turns out that she's sick (again), with some kind of stomach flu. She's got a great sense of humor, so I know we'll have a good time. I'll see her when she's better.
