“I SAID, CAN YOU PLEASE HOLD MY CLOTHES?!?!” Shara yelled.
“Ahhh! Oh, o-of course!” Colin stuttered as he grabbed the large bags of shirts and yoga pants.
“Finally, you’ve been staring out the window for fourth minutes.” Shara groaned as she swiped her card, “What are you even looking at?!”
Colin turned around to see that the pink eyes were no longer there.
“N-Nothing… I just have a lot on my mind…” Colin sighed.
“Colin…” Shara said with an eyebrow raised.
“Okay, I saw someone watching me from outside.” He said.
“Just stick by me and they won’t bother you…” Shara smiled, “Now come on, I wanna get to Nightingales before the line gets too long!”
“Rosé?” Shara asked as she spritzed some perfume “Or Peach?”
“Peach, definitely peach.” Colin said.
“Added to the basket.” Shara smiled, “Now… Cherry Blossom? Or Honeysuckle?”
No response.
“Cherry Blossom OR HONEY SUCKLE?” Shara asked with a tinge of irritation.
She opened her eyes and saw Colin shaking profusely.
She turned to look were he was looking.
‘Oh, it’s HER.’ Shara thought with a scowl, “We have enough Colin, let’s go…”
The tanned beauty practically dragged Colin across the floor as the stalker quietly watched from the other side of the shop.
“Come on, Colin, grab a stick!” Shara said as she spun up some glittery purple cotton candy.
Colin grabbed one and stuck it in the spinning drum of green sugar.
“Now you have to move it around.., move it around… are you… serious?!” Shara said as the stalker came back.
The arcade?
She was there.
Food court?
She was there.
The Mattress Store?
There too.
This creepy ass lady wouldn’t just leave them alone!!!
“Alright, that’s it, I’m getting security!” Shara snapped. “Wait right here.”
“But Shara…” Colin started.
“If you wanna eat my ass tonight, you’re gonna sit right on that goddamn bench and NOT MOVE A MUSCLE until I’m finished giving Creepy McGee a piece of my mind!” Shara whispered.
Colin sat at the bench trying to calm himself down with some Tetris on his phone.
“Hey.” A random woman said as she sat next to him.
Colin ignored her and kept tapping the L block into position.
“My friend thinks you’re pretty cute…” She smirked.
“Uh-huh.” He said in a dismissal tone.
“Did I mention she’s… single?” The woman grinned.
“I REALLY don’t care.” Colin said as he cleared the board.
“Come on, you seriously wanna spend your time with your balls in that bitches’ purse?” The woman asked snidely.
“Look, I’m just here trying to have a nice day with my girlfriend!” Colin snapped “If your ‘friend’ is really that desperate, sucks for her…”
“Alright dick, tell her yourself, she’s right in front of you!” The woman snapped.
Colin looked up and saw those gleaming pink eyes lock with his.
“Are you seriously not gonna do anything about it?!” Shara shouted.
“Ma’am, we are reviewing the security footage as we speak, please calm down…” the guard said as he stuffed his face with a loaded pretzel. “We’re gonna need more that your word to kick a customer out.”
Sure enough Colin ran past them screaming as the stalker chased him down.
“Heeeeeeeelp!!!!!!” Colin called as he was chased down.
“Yeah girl, get him!” A woman cheered on as the stalker leapt over a sunglasses kiosk in pursuit of him.
“Security to 13 East, we’ve got a situation!” The guard yelled over his walkie talkie.
That’s when Shara saw someone running towards Colin… it was….
