Terrible, Rundown And Smelly

Stormella quickly opened her door and slipped into the driver's seat with a grin still plastered on her face- much to Cassandra's annoyance. Did her friend never take anything seriously?

"So, my place or yours?" Storm asked as she rolled down her window.

Cassie thought about it; she didn't want to go to her house, since her mom was still at work, so she'd be alone. "Yours."

The blond nodded her head and reversed out of her parking spot. "Mine it is, but we better get some movies to watch."

Cassie smiled, "There's this movie that's out...uh...King of the Rings- something like that- I haven't seen the previews or anything, but it's rumored to be good."

"You mean The Lord of the Rings.I've heard of it too...never seen previews for it either...We can get it at that new place that opened up, Matt's Video. I heard the movies are, like, five bucks!" Stormella said as she stopped at a red light.

The brunette snorted in amusement. "He probably downloads them illegally and copies them, that's why they're so fucking cheap."

"No shit, Sherlock."

"You have a horrible vocabulary."

"So do you."

When they reached their destination, the two girls saw a rundown looking shack. Storm parked the car and motioned for her friend to follow her, which Cassandra did. If Matt's Video looked terrible outside, it looked absolutely repugnant inside.

Oh my God! The guy actually lives here! Cassie thought in horror as she entered the shack and stared at a rumpled bed in the corner of the room. Is Storm sure this place is new? It smells like something died in here months ago...

Storm, on the other hand, strutted over to the shelf with a 'half-off' sign and started to browse the cassettes and DVDs without so much as a glance at the state of the shop.

"Can I help you?" A voice from behind the girls asked in what would seem a friendly manner if he wasn't openly leering at the brunette six feet from him.

The two friends spun around in surprise and took their first look at the owner of the rundown establishment. Cassandra had to admit that the guy was much more presentable than his house/shop, and...he was kinda cute. His red hair was slightly shaggy, but in a hot way, and his eyes...God,his eyes...a rich hazel color.

Wasting no time on ogling the gorgeous man in front of her, Storm got straight to the point. "Yes, you can help. My friend and I are looking for the movie The Lord of the Rings. Do you have it?"

Raising his eyebrow the redhead chuckled. "And a nice day to you, too, ma'am." Walking over so he stood directly in front of her, he reached out his left hand and plucked a movie from behind her. "Here you go, Miss...?"

"None of your business." Stormella snapped, going to grab the movie but the man just pulled it out of her reach.

"Well, Miss 'None Of Your Business', I don't just go giving away free movies..."

"Cassandra, give him the money." Storm growled out.

Sighing, Cassie reached into her backpack and removed her black Gucci wallet- a gift she got from her dad on Christmas. "Here." She muttered, waving a crisp five dollar bill at the stranger.

Grinning, the redhead pocketed the money and handed over the movie to a scowling Storm. "Here."

"Thank you, kind sir." The blond hissed as she tore the movie from his hand and stomped out the door, "Cassie?" she called when she realized her friend wasn't following her.

"Uh, coming!" Cassandra yelled as she took one last look at the smirking guy in front of her before following her friend.

Tazzledmuch: Thank you for adding me on your favorite authors list, for adding this story in your favorites, and most of all, thank you for your review!

Malafemmina: Haha, thanks! I think I should probably tell you; Cassandra is the Brains and I'm the Brawn;) LOL
Cassandra's character is the type of girl who uses her head, but still likes the thought of being rescued by a handsome knight in shining armor. She does not like the thought of being inthe armor though- she's basically a girl who is really smart but a bit of a daydreamer. Cassie always tends to see the big picture when her older friend fails to;)

Stormella is- well she's me! Uh...I guess I'm the type of girl who doesn't wait for the knight in shining armor. I'm stubborn, independent and easily solve my problems with my fists...or sharp tongue- whichever I think I need. I don't see the big picture;)

Reviews are always appreciated!;);););)
