Unknown small town- In a Supermarket

"Alex! It's your shift… now come on" a sleazy looking guy said

"Hey be grateful that I just volunteer for this job" a voice came form the back round revealing a blonde haired girl in her twenties…

"Yeah… yeah whatever now come on, hurry up I need to go to the bathroom" the guy whined

"Okay… Jeez can't you hold it for a couple of minutes?" the guy gave her a ridiculous look which made her chuckle a bit,

The guy went off as she stood behind the counter, this market had barely had customers maybe because this town is smaller than the market it self…

This thought made the blonde scoff…

But all her thoughts stopped when she heard the door open; and someone got in

She couldn't see who it is but she could hear the footsteps nearing closer

And the sight took her breath away; a girl she seemed as the same age as the blonde

She had a tall slim figure but what amazed the blonde was the girl face there was something about it she couldn't describe in words…

She had those green big mossy eyes so innocent looking with her long light brown hair and a shy weak smile,

Alex couldn't take her eyes of the angel that landed on this damned earth,

She kept starring that she notice that the beautiful girl was talking to her

"Huh…?" that was the blonde reply,

"Oh excuse me… my voice comes a little low sometimes" the shy brunette mumbled "I said… where can I find paper towels?" she explained.

"Paper towels?" the blonde seemed a bit struck but then she answered quickly "oh they're in the back… let me show ya" the blonde stepped from behind the counter and headed to the back motioning for the girl to follow her

"Sorry for that… We're not used to people asking us where the stuff is, usually they know everything in the store" the blonde said as they continued walking.

"Oh well I'm not from here, I just moved here from New York so" the brunette said.

"Oh that explains it" the blonde chuckled making the brunette giggle which Alex found very cute "so New York big city huh?" Alex asked

"Yeah lived there whole my life" proud of her self the brunette replied.

"So why the sudden move?" asked again, just trying to not make the conversation end

"I don't know… I guess I just needed a change of scenery" a smile crawled over the blonde face when she heard the brunette reply, she was glad that the brunette chose this town…

"Well here we are this is the paper towel's section… if you need any other help I'm right there" the blonde pointed at the counter.

"Sure thanks" the brunette mumbled before the blonde could leave.

After a while of helping the brunette pick all she needed she was now charging the stuff and the total price was thirty dollars but the brunette just gave twenty dollars,

"It's okay… consider it on the house"

"No I can't… I just let me…" the brunette argued back.

"It's okay really, no big deal" with a convincing look from the blonde the brunette just sighed and smiled weakly.

The blonde wrapped the groceries up in their bags and notice there were so many she was worried that the brunette couldn't handle them all

"Let me help you carry the groceries to your house…?" the blonde offered

"No… I don't want to trouble you" the brunette said

"It's my job to help you… and besides you can't carry all those things" the blonde seemed begging

"I'm sure you have better things to do?" really the brunette didn't want to trouble the blonde

"No I don't… I'm actually heading out myself" the blonde replied

After silenced from the brunette side she agreed…

"But wait… let me just… Kev!" she called "Kev?" she called looking back at the storage room

"What?!" a weak voice called back and after a while you can see the sleazy guy with the short blonde hair approaching them.

"It's your shift" the blonde narrowed her eyes at him as he buttoned his jeans up "and what took you so long anyway?" Alex asked

"I got held up" but his gaze from the blonde to the brunette "well hello there" he raised his eyebrows slightly licking his lower lip,

The brunette had an alarmed look and Alex just rolled her eyes and shoved him back

"Keep your pants up sleazebag" she said as she hopped from behind the counter taking the bags out from the other girl's hands saying "let me help you with those"

After getting out of the supermarket they walked side by side,

"Sorry about my friend Kevin" the blonde mumbled

"Its okay I had my fare share of people like that" the brunette just smiled,

"But when it comes to it he's a pretty good guy" the blonde defended her best friend

"Yeah…" the brunette mumble not knowing what to say…

"I'm Alex by the way" the brunette chuckled "what's so funny about my name?" Alex wondered little bit offended,

"No it's not that… I just realized that we don't know each other's names and we already acting like best friends" the brunette explained,

"Oh… yeah weird isn't it?" Alex gave her a funny look which made her laugh

"I'm Marissa" she said as they kept walking,

"nice meeting you Marissa" the blonde thought the name was so beautiful that she wanted to say it over and over again but she didn't want the brunette to freak out,

They kept walking until Marissa stopped in front of a small but pretty looking house

"Here we are" she said as she stood in front of the blonde

"Oh well I better get going" the blonde didn't notice that they arrived

"Well thanks for helping me today" the brunette smiled making the blonde smile as well "so I guess I'll see you around."

"Definitely… I'm always at the market or the bar down the street or… I'll just see you around" the brunette chuckled at the blonde babble,

"Yeah…" when they just stood there until they realized they were starring at each other they both chuckle at their silliness,

The brunette was going to hug the blonde but the blonde was going for a handshake

So it ended with an awkward handshake and after that both went their separate ways… some of them was beating themselves up for lack of smoothness and the other was glad they made new friends in this small town…

After getting out of her own awkwardness; Alex made her way to the gym as she got in an impatient looking guy was standing with hands crossed on his muscular chest,

"You made it… finally" he said

"I'm so sorry T I promise this is the last time" Alex begged,

"And what the excuse now… Kevin got held up in the bathroom?" he said half joking.

"That and I helped up a new comer from New York city" she smiled as the memory of the brunette.

"New York city? Nice" Tony said with smile but a stern look came to his dark skinned features "now come on we don't have much time" he dragged her to the back

"Jeez manhandling much" she said as she let her self get dragged,

They stopped as they reached the back, Tony let Alex go and he threw a pare of boxing gloves at her, she catch them…

"This is professional boxing Alex, this is no joke" he said as he took the defense glove

"I know, I can do this" she said assured of herself

"You can, you're the best thing since your father" he couldn't help it, it slipped out of his mouth…

The blonde felt a sting of pain in her heart when she remembered her father but she covered it up by saying "well father is long gone, and we cant bring him back… so you just have settle on me then" she said bitterness in her voice

Tony knew Alex was hurting but he didn't want to interfere so he said

"Okay then… now hit me"…
