“Hi, do you need help finding anything?” Nicole smiled at the girl in the old Janis Joplin t-shirt.

“Oh no thanks, oh you work here?” Ashley said not remembering the girl ever working here.

“Yeah I um…I do. We’ve met right, you’re Becky’s friend. You go with the cute blonde?” Nicole said folding her arms over her chest.

“Yeah that’s me. I pulled the hottest ever.” 

“You’d do me a favor?” Ashley just nodded slowly confusion written on her face. “Tell Becca there’s no need to hide in the EP room because I’m not going to bite, not anymore that is.” The girl winked cheekily before turning and going back to her job.

Ashley blushed embarrassedly and turned back to the room, walking through the cheap plastic shingles she bumped into a stooping Becca who’d been listening the entire time.

“I think she saw me.” Becca gathered seriously.

“No shit Sherlock.” Ashley said sarcastically before leading her friend from the small funny smelling room. “She isn’t worried about you so come on out dude. You find my record?”

Becca stepped out of the room handing Ashley the first record she saw and sheepishly looked in Nicole’s direction. She sighed in relief when she saw the short girl was busy helping some guy with a piano. Becca stared a little too long because shortly after sensing the gaze Nicole looked up directly into her eyes and gave a small wave.

“This is Purple Rain, I already have this.” Ashley said as she picked up a few drumsticks. “She’s cute.”

“Yeah of course she is, but she’s crazier than Madison, except she definitely knows she wants girls.” Becca replied before taking a swig from the Fiji bottle she’d been carrying.

“Come on, I’m ready to pay, hey you think your girlfriend will give me a discount?” Ashley said walking to the counter with her items.

“She’s not my girl friend and you don’t even need it. I’m not asking her for anything” Rebecca said walking slowly behind Ashley, it seemed Becca was also cashier.

“Will this be all?” Nicole asked Ashley who nodded. The cashier sighed slowly noting that Rebecca was looking everywhere but at her. “Becky you know it does not have to be this hard.”
