I was fresh off a breakup with my first ever high school boyfriend, who I thought was the love of my life. I lost my virginity to him, so I was pretty devastated. I’ll never write a story about him because the sex was so bad, but I was too inexperienced to know what bad sex was. I was still heartbroken though.
To make myself feel better, I kept going on these solo shopping sprees at the mall in between college classes. I was at this one store looking through some dresses when this guy who worked there came up to me and asked if I needed any help.
“Umm no, I’m good just looking” I said, barely bothering to glance at who was talking to me. I tried on a few dresses and took a backless one up to the register, put it on the counter, and started digging through my purse for my wallet.
“I bet this would look really good on you” I heard the same guy say. I looked up and connected eyes with who was talking. He grinned at me confidently while he rung me up and I almost stopped breathing because he was so handsome and incredibly tall and a bit lanky.
