Chapter 1
Johnny growled, for the twentieth time. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck in frustration. It's close to the middle of his shift and since this morning, he hasn't had not ONE costumer today. He stood behind the counter and leaned his head against his hand as he watched the people walk around him and headed towards the back of the electronics store.
He was starting to think that EVERYBODY had a cell phone and wasn't in dire need to be getting a new one. Johnny held himself back from walking out of the store, and clocking out early, because if he did, he would get fired, and he was in desperate need of a job, so that couldn't happen.
.
Alli was pissed and the scowl on her pretty face made it clear to the people she was walking by. She could not believe that he had broken her cell phone, all because she had deleted his number. People did that when they no longer wanted to talk to a person, especially after a break up that happened over a year ago. She had been happily single since then.
Stepping into the Electronic store she made her way to the back where the cell phone's where, she was pretty sure they couldn't fix her poor blackberry so a new one was probably going to be needed. Flipping her black hair over her shoulder, she headed to the counter and the blonde behind it. Setting the broken phone on the counter she smiled weakly.
"It's dead." She said tapping it with her nail.
Johnny blinked a few times, and then looked around him, making sure she was talking to him. He mentally cheered and cleared his throat. He picked up the girls broken phone and examined it.
"Dead? It's broken, what did you do to it?" He glanced up at her and watched her eyes roll. Johnny arched his eyebrow and waited patiently for her to answer, but she only scoffed and sighed in annoyed frustration. Johnny was happy that he had gotten a customer, but he couldn't help her if she didn't respond to him.
"I didn't break it, an ex of mine did... long story short he decided it would be a good idea to run over it, I wasn't about to throw myself in front of his car." After all Alli was smarter than that.
"So, can it be fixed or am I going to need a new one?" Her parent's where going to kill her, but it wasn't her fault and she had already talked to Mrs. Torres about it.
Alli looked for a name tag and smiled finding it.
"Johnny, please say you can help me." She pouted a bit and sighed, it had been a very long day.
"I really don't want to explain this one to my parents." To be quite frank, her parents weren't all that understanding and well they hadn't really known about Drew till the end...
Johnny frowned.
"Well, to be honest, you're going to need a new phone, this is practically killed, there's no way in fixing it." He stated honestly. He watched her face drop and she bit down on her bottom lip. Johnny added, "Please come with me, I can interest you in a different phone, probably a more durable one." He walked away from the desk and headed around towards the front where the different varieties of cell phones lay.
"I recommend that Blackberry Torch." He grabbed the phone and handed it to her.
"Shit." Realizing that she swore, Alli covered her mouth with her hand, before she started following him, seeing the phone he grabbed and handed to her she looked at it and nodded.
"This fine, does it come in any other color?" Her cheeks still felt warm from the fact that she swore. Alli hardly ever swore, mainly because at five feet nothing she usually got teased when she did.
She was taller today, her black knee high boots gave her an added three inches, paired with dark blue skinnies and a tight tank and her bomber jacket she looked ready to go out, not be coming from school..."Maybe a purple?"
Johnny pressed his lips a line. He said, "They don't come in purple, only silver, black, and red. However," He walked behind her and grabbed a packet and continued, "They do have purple cases." Johnny handed her the packet and watched her eyes scan over it. He shifted his weight to his left leg and watched intently. Johnny licked his lips and scratched behind his ear, waiting to hear a response from this girl.
It didn't take her long, because when she looked up at him, she was smiling slightly in satisfaction.
"I take it you like the phone? It's pretty good, I own one." Johnny stated.
Alli looked the phone over again and the case, before nodding her head, she looked over to Johnny. "Really, is it similar to the Blackberry curve?" She asked leading the way back to the counter, looking over her shoulder at him; he was cute... just something about him. He wasn't the typical guy she was attracted to but she was, though he wasn't even flirting.
Sighing she leaned lightly on the counter. "I already have a contract from here, so...do we just switch the phones or how does it work?" She really had no idea, she had started with a pay as you go but when she started working she switched. Waiting for an answer she followed him shyly with her dark brown eyes.
Johnny sat behind the desk, and offered her the seat in front of it. He answered, "It's sort of the same as the Blackberry curve, but it's somehow much better. It's easier to text on, and of course, as you can see, it has a touch screen. Anyway, we just switch the phones since you already have contract. All you have to do is transfer everything from your old phone to this one, and you're all set. Let's hope the memory card isn't busted."
Johnny tore his eyes away from the cute girl sitting in front of him. For some odd reason, he could feel her pain, anger, everything. If someone ran over his phone, he would be seriously pissed as well. He started to type away on his computer, and then walked away for a few minutes, just to get the new phone for her.
Alli was pissed very, but it didn't solve anything, grabbing her old phone she prayed that the memory card was still alive; opening the back she grabbed it and smiled happily.
"Thank you." She said softly setting it on the counter. She turned her head and watched him go in the back; blushing a bit hoping he didn't catch her staring.
Looking away as he came back she handed him the card.
"It looks okay." She honestly had no idea how she was doing this! Her cheeks felt like they were on fire.
"Uh...you need my name right? You know, to find my contract information?" Smooth Alli... really smooth. She mentally slapped herself for that one.
Johnny smirked a little.
"Yes, I do need your name." He stated as he opened the box with her new phone inside it. Johnny pulled the phone out, turned it on and slid the memory card inside. He tried not to stare at her cute face which was slightly darker than normal, because of the blushed that adorned her cheeks. Honestly, he thought it was cute.
But what is he saying! This is his costumer, nothing more.
"Alliah Bhandari... Alliah Bhandari..." He chanted softly, looking through the list of names. Johnny smiled a little and clicked on her name. He turned to her and responded, "Your memory card should be fine, I don't believe you'd have to get everybody's numbers back, not unless you deleted them all." Johnny started to look at his computer again and typed a few things, then turned back to the phone.
"And you're all set. Here you go." Johnny handed her the phone and watched her smile wide. He glanced at her, as she started to fiddle with it, making sure it was okay and such. As she did this he actually looked at her. She was cute, very cute...
But he didn't let that pass him, because clearly she was too young for him, and he normally doesn't get involved with costumers. It happened once, and to put it simply, it didn't end well.
Alli looked through it and smiled happily.
"Thank you so much." She was so happy right now. Alli looked at it again and set it on the counter.
"I'm going to get that purple case too, black is great but kind of boring." She said grabbing the new phone case as well, thank god for pay day.
"Thanks again, you have no idea how happy I am that this was so easy to fix." She's thought of a million different reasons why she was going to be phoneless. Taking a moment to look at him again out of the corner of her eye she sighed, he wasn't interested... it's too bad too; she hadn't liked anyone since Drew.
Johnny watched her leave, and he sighed. He tapped his finger on the desk and frowned. Johnny grabbed the wallet on the desk, and wondered how it fell out of her purse. She may have taken it out earlier when he was in the back. He got up.
"Hey Alli! You forgot your...
His sentence trailed off when he watched her leave out the front doors. Johnny held her wallet and figured it might be okay to hold it. She'll come back later... hopefully.
Alli had made it half way to the Dot where she was to meet Clare when she realized that her wallet was MIA, another curse word left her pretty mouth and she wasn't sure if she should scream or cry as she tried to think about where it could be.
Praying that it was at the electronic shop was still open and that her wallet was there she walked quickly back to where she had been, great now she was going to look like one of those stupid girls...great impression to make. Hell what did it matter he wasn't interested in her.
Opening the door she walked in and looked around, she couldn't see Johnny, maybe he was in the back. "Hello?" She called out timidly, ignoring the look on the couple of costumers faces...
Johnny's nonexistent doggy ears perked up from the sound of that voice. He turned around from the room he was in and started walking out of the large room, holding the wallet in his hand. Johnny smiled when he noticed that it was Alli calling out to him. He walked up to her and said, "You forgot your wallet."
Johnny handed it to her and she smiled nervously at him, taking the wallet from his hand.
Their fingers brushed against each other's, causing Johnny to turn a slight pink. It's weird! How can this girl have an effect on him like this? They met for exactly thirty minutes and he's already having his heart racing.
Alli sighed in relief.
"This has not been my day, thank you so much for keeping it safe for me." Her hand was tingling from where they had brushed fingers and she knew her face had turned a bit pinker; she tucked her hair out of her face and smiled up at him.
"Well I guess I should go..."
She had embarrassed herself enough for one day, she might as well just head home, Clare could meet Eli early and then she would be happier than if she was drinking a coffee with her thinking about being with him.
"Thanks again Johnny."
Johnny watched her leave after he said, "No problem." He sighed, and silently hoped, that he would see this girl again.
Leaving the store she hoped that she'd get the chance to see him again, it was to bad she was above breaking her phone again...because right now she didn't know how else she'd be able to see the other again.
