So far he was making at least three hundred a day, and all he had to do was follow this guy around and send the photos through the mail. No strings attached, no problems. Anyways it paid the rent, and that was something Adam needed help with badly.
"Very rock star."
Heading to his mailbox, he noticed the woman's pale face and how she had turned her back towards him when he spoke. She was slowly heading up the stairs with what looked like a large duffel bag.
Right away Adam wanted to kick himself for sounding like such a creep.
"Your hair…it's very rock star." He pointed as she stopped midway and looked at him.
She was attractive.
"Oh speaking of rock stars, I was assigned to give these out…"
Stepping forward he reached into his back pocket and gave her the crumpled up flyer his buddy Luke had given to him.
"A buddy of mine is having a show in a couple of days, they don't completely suck as buddy bands go for."
She slowly took the flyer and gave him a weak smile. He looked over her face.
"Do you live here?"
"Just visiting."
She said in a lower voice.
He nodded and watched her walk back up the stairs. For a moment Adam thought maybe he struck himself a date…someone finally who wasn't Gretchen.
"I'll see you there…"
Turning he sighed, knowing how she had hardly even looked him straight in the eyes. He turned around back and shook his head. beep his pride…he didn't even care.
"Your not really going to show up are you?"
The woman slowly shook her head.
"Probably not."
She was at least honest…he had to hand that to her. Nodding he then stared at her large brown eyes. They looked as if they were made out of thin glass.
"Hey…can I take your picture?"
Now she must really know I'm a loser. He thought to himself. Instead she just held in a laugh as he stepped closer, holding up to camera to focus.
"Okay just stay there…"
He fixed right on her face…she looked so lost and sad.
With the flash of the camera he lowered it and nodded.
"Okay nice, thanks."
She let a small smile as she turned.
"I'll see you…later."
He stumbled over his words as he turned around feeling another odd feeling in his stomach. Just then his two bitch neighbors from the third floor came in.
"Hey ladies, show on Saturday night…five bucks come on!"
They shot him dirty looks and pushed forward as the woman watched from the stairs laughing.
He at least got her to smile, one thing he was good at.
Looking up he flashed a smile to this stranger.
"Don't worry their going to be there."
She smiled before turning for the final time and making it up the stairs. Smiling again, Adam turned and pushed forward on the front door that lead out into the city.
He now wished he had asked her name.
