"So h-here's your change, sir. Umm, h-have a good day." I smiled hesitantly. The guy wore sunglasses and a cap but I could've sworn that I've seen his face before, I just couldn't remember when or where.
I handed him the change but I couldn't stop my hand from shaking and all I could think of was "WHAT THE HELL?"
He replied with a charming smile "you too." And then he left.
I gasped "THAT WAS TAYLOR EFFIN' LAUTNER!" I gasped to myself.
"HELLOOO, MISS! Hurry up." A rough voice managed to snatch me from LalaLands.
"Oh, sorry sir."
Throughout the shift, I kept beating myself up "How stupid of me? How come I didn't recognize one of the most wanted teenagers in the country? And HE WAS SMILING AT ME? OH MY GOSH!"
I checked out after I finished the shift and headed home with an extremely annoying headache. When I arrived home, I found my older sister, Mia, watching T.V and eating popcorn on the couch.
"Hey, sister!" she smiled
"Hey" I replied lifelessly as I threw myself on the couch beside her, what a disappointing day!
"Are you all right, Liv?" Mia turned to face me with concerned eyes.
"I'm just tired and I have this, Ugh….Headache." everything seemed blurry all of a sudden.
Mia went to the kitchen and got back with a glass of water and an aspirin
"Thanks." I swallowed the pill and drank the water "I'm gonna get some sleep." I wanted to run off before she interrogates me about the day and I might end up dead if she found out about the "Taylor" coincidence after, so I hurried upstairs to my room with the remaining energy in my body and threw myself on the bed not bothering to even put on my pajamas.
The next day, I took the car and headed to work, I worked at the cashier in the "All You Need" supermarket. For an 18 year-old girl like me, it wasn't so hard still I had to help Mia, who's a 20 year-old nurse, because ever since our parents died in a car accident it's only been me and her yet my dream job was being a professional photographer.
I was busy with the cash machine when I caught a scent…a perfume that was kind of familiar and as I looked to see who it was, he flashed the same charming smile… I was petrified, I couldn't even blink and my jaw just dropped open. HE CAME BACK AGAIN and without any shades or caps!
This time I stared at his t-shirt that fitted his muscular chest.
"Are you alright, Miss?" he asked ever-so-politely… "You're mama's raised you pretty damn well." I thought, but I had to be smart because I didn't want to come off like some kind of an obsessive fan so I tried as much as I could NOT to drool and to just act normally.
"I'm…okay." I took a deep breath, took his credit card and swapped it into the machine. He let out a chuckle and I automatically smiled then gave him back the card.
He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something but he just smiled lightly and then left, while I was desperately trying to comprehend the situation.
