It all started out so innocently, I went out to the mall with a few friends of mine from college. We were going to the local mall to listen to some music, maybe pick up a few CDs or something. I didn’t know. I just thought that something might be interesting to me. I wasn’t really looking at anything to buy. Just to browse, if you know what I mean.
There was this really cute salesgirl that happened to catch my eye. I don’t really know if she was interested in me at all, but I did my best to try and capture her eye.
Still nothing, so sadly enough, I went over to the stacks and picked out some CD’s that I thought that I might like, and went over to the desk to pay for the things.
There was a line of course, so I backed out, thinking that I might be able to wait until the line was going lower or something… really I don’t know what it was that I was thinking, just something thqat made me think of backing out.
“Oh excuse me.”
I turned and looked over at the voice that had spoken up behind me. It was a girl that I knew from school, Monique or something. “Oh, its all right, are you ok?”
She smiled at me, “Yeah, I’m fine.” She extended her hand out to me.
I was proven right on my assumption as she told me her name. “My name’s Monique. You’re Josh right?”
“Yeah.” Part of me was surprised that she knew me. “Um, I hate to ask this, but how do you know me?”
Monique laughed, and it sounded like a flock of bits had just taken into flight, it was beautiful. She was wearing a black leather jacket, I guessed with something airbrushed on it, I couldn’t really tell you as she was facing in front of me and I didn’t really want her to stop. “I’ve seen you over in the library, and in the rec-room in the dorm.”
