Black Friday is Coming... [Closed Alex/Ash]

Ashley was digging through the rows and rows of CDs searching for a few in specific. She was in lone music shop in the entire mall, and had a ton of cash in her purse. She had done nothing but study the past few days, since she got here, and she figured that it was about time to get out and actually do something. Of course she came at a time of day, where most people were busy with something else, so that the amount of people in the mall would be next to none. Her mom had given her a handsome amount of cash to not only live for the week, but to get herself something nice for christmas since her mother couldn't be there in person to present her with a nice gift. So that is exactly what Ashley was doing. Getting herself something nice. she found one of the many CDs she was looking for. She had lost a ton of them in her move to the school, and was looking to replace them. After an hour or two of searching she finally found all of the ones she was looking for. So ashley gathered them all up and headed for the counter to pay for them, until on her way there she caught a glimpse of a really nice Bass guitar. She slowly walked over to it, not trying to be too excited over it, but she nearly dropped her bags when she saw the price. It was in her range. she grabbed it as well and then finally made it over to the counter, but not without grabbed herself a new pair of headphones first as well.

As the man totaled up her items, she adjusted her scarf that hung around her neck, so that it looked it bit nicer. She also adjusted the coat she wore. the man told her her total, and she payed him immediately grabbing her headphones and plugging them in to her phone so she could listen to her favorite songs on her new headset. Then she put the guitar in the case it came with, and locked it up, then finally grabbed her plastic bag filled with CD cases, and headed out of the store. Now she STILL had a bit of money in her pocket, and so she decided that she would get her mother something for Christmas, and mail it too her. So she immediately turned to her right, and looking into the windows looking for something that she could buy for her mom, But as she turned she ran right into someone. Of course the one time in history that she falls on her ass, she had to be wearing a skirt. She fall backwards, and both of her hands instictivly let go of the things their were holding, the case dropped to the ground, and kept the guitar in side, perfectly fine. However her CDs proceeded to hit the ground and scatter all over the mall floor, but this wasn't the most embarresing part. When she feel over, her legs spread revealing her bright pin panties that read "Kiss me" to the person right in front of her.

Ashley rubbed her head, as she slowly sat up from falling over. ouch. what on earth had she ran into? it was highly likely that it could have been a pole, or something else that was sturdy. It wasn't until Ashley opened her eyes that she saw what she had hit. She had ran right into a Man an- what was he staring at? His face made it seem like he had seen a ghost. She followed his eyes right to her.... open skirt.... She let out a small sound that resembled a squeak, and immediately sat up, and sat in a position so her legs were closed tightly together, and her legs went out and backwards to either side of her, while her hand pressed tightly down on her legs in an attempt to get her skirt down farther, to possibly cover up what he had just seen, but it was too late, and Ashley's face was now a bright red as she straight straight down, unable to look up and face the man before her. She heard him begin to apologize, and stuttering while he was doing it, which meant that he was obviously just as embarrassed as she was. She spoke, but her voice was barely audible "N-no.... i-i'm fine" she managed to squeak out. She felt like she was about to die from embarrassment, as her hands pressed harder down on her skirt, hoping that maybe that might erase the scene that had just happened, but she knew it wouldn't help. Nothing could undo what had just happened, but she still sat there, her music just a minor background sound to her now.

He spoke again... Another apology. They both sat there in awkward silence for a moment, before she heard him shuffle around a little bit, and her curiosity finally managed to get the better of her, overcoming her massive embarrassment. she peered up at him through her bangs, taking a good look over him, and waiting it out a bit while he offered his hand. Finally Ashley squeaked out a small "Thanks" before placing her hand in his hand, and using that as leverage to pull herself up from the ground. Once she was finally standing, she noticed that the man was taller than her, although not too much, maybe 4 or 5 inches. She then took her hand out of his, and placed them behind her, each of her hands grasping one another, in an attempt to just do something with them, as she lightly tapped the tip of her right foot against the ground, scanning the surronding area in search of something to divert her attention from the awkward silence that hung over the area.

Just then her gaze fell upon her CDs scattered about the fall, and in that moment it felt like th world around her shut out, and she completely forgot anyone was in the mall at all, much less a person standing before her. She let out a gasp and then said "Oh my god" in a rather worried voice, as she rushed over to the bag, where some of the CDs were still in or hanging around. She began to pick up the CDs, and examine each and every one of them carefully, occasionally letting out a "Damn" . Some of her brand new CDs had broken when they fell down and hit the floor. Well this put a damper on her mood, that was for sure.

Ashley thankfully nodded at the person in front of her. At least he had had the decency to help pick up some of her disks. which was awfully nice of him. once they had finally gotten all of Her disks back into the plastic bag she said forcefully once more "T-thanks for the help" she said as she picked up the bag, and then walked over and picked up her guitar. then turned around to find the man holding money towards her. and then he began to speak. first he apologized about breaking her CD's to which Ashley responded with "Oh.. no worries... i-it wasn't really your fault... it was my fault really... i-i should have been more careful... please... keep your money..." then she heard the next part. Her face lit up bright red once more as her eyes immedaitely searched for something of interest on the ground. he had had time to read them... blush at this point had crept all over Ashley's face. she was hoping he had only just glanced at them. maybe briefly caught the color, but no. he had had a full view, and as such even read the embarrassing remark, she had had on them. Ashley mentally scolded herself for being such an idiot and not being as careful as she should have been.
