It was just a normal, boring assed day at DMC records. It had been deserted for over 3 hours now, but it also allowed me to advance to world eight on super mario brothers. For 3 months straight i had gotton the saturday shifts at the register.
"fucking koopa troopas get out of my ass!" I yelled while slamming my DS against the counter. Hoping that no one was in the store i picked it back up and resumed playing.
"Umm excuse me" Came a voice. I looked up, standing infront of me was the most beautiful person I beleiv I've ever seen. He had light brown hair and irresistibly beautiful brown eyes. he was wearing a tight fitting shirt, a leather jacket, and a plaid scarf.
"Oh umm, can i help you?" I stammered.
"Yes do you happen to have anything by The Title?" He asked.
The Super Mario Brothers theme song was still playing from my DS, I could not stop staring at him. I didnt know anything could be so beautiful.
"Do you?" He asked again.
"Oh yeah sorry, of course we do" I walked out from behind the counter and led him to the back of the store where the T section was. I got to my knees and started to look.
"Oh umm my names Brendon" I said trying to make the moment less awkward than it already was.
He smiled "Hey Brendon, my names Ryan"
Oh no, I could feel it. My heart sank to my stomache and i started getting butterflies. I started to pull out the CD
"Umm here it-" But before I could finish, I tripped and knocked the whole entire rack of CD's over. I got to my knees franticaly picking up all the CD's. Noooo! Why did this have to happen now? Why am i such a fuckingidiot!
"Im so sorry" I said while trying to stack them on the shelf. I looked down at the ground and covered my hair over my face so ryan would see me starting to tear up. In the corner of my eye I saw ryan starting to kneel down beside me to help pick them up.
"Oh no you dont ha-"
"Its alright just let me help you" He looked at me and said. The whole time we picked them up was in total silence, I couldnt think of anything to say I was so embarassed.
"Thank you so much" I said while picking up the last CD
"No problem" he said while smiling I handed him The Title Making a Scene
"umm well, heres your CD"
He took it and giggled "thanks!" He said in a cheerful tone. I took him back to the register and rang up his total. "Its gonna be 15.65$" He pulled out his wallet and started to hand me a 20$
"I have a question" I said
"Yes?"
"Oh well I was wondering...would you mabey like to-to go out with me?"
No. What the hell have I done! I hadnt gone out with someone for almost a year! What makes me think that he will?
"Sure!" Ryan said I paused.
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah ill go out with you"
"Are you serious!"
He giggled agian "Yeah" he took my hand and grabbed out a sharpie. He wrote the numberes 922-3162 on the back of my hand.
"Call me tonight k?"
"Oh umm...ok!" I replied. I handed ryan his bag.
"Talk to ya later!" I said as he was walking out the door. He waved at me we through the window and continued to walk down the sidewalk.
Later that night
It was around 5:30 and i had decided to call Ryan. My heart was pounding, I didnt know if i was able to do it. I slowly diled his numbers; 9...2...2...6...7...3...2. he answered
