Trade Part 6
Alex POV:
I don't live in this neighborhood but I had to pick up a refill for my ludicrously priced pen in this part of town so I figured I might as well run errands and grab some supplies for what I had planned as a relaxing Saturday night. I walked into the unfamiliar supermarket and it took me forever just to find a basket.... frustrated I wondered if I should just head back to my local store. However, I was here now and wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles trying to find items, dipping in and out of the cold section to prevent freezing at the whim of an open refrigerator which seemed intent on making my shopping experience long and cold.

It was after I had just grabbed some sharp cheddar when I was startled by the voice which was plaguing me more and more. 'You don't live here, nor do you shop here, what do this half ass store and I owe the pleasure'. I could hear the smirk and turned around to challenge it with my best Cabot stare and replied 'Its always about convenience, getting what I want, when I need it'. I watched her process the comment and swear I saw a small tinge of red on her neck. 'Well what do you want right now' she quipped trying to recover. My mind is running and that question pushing my buttons... (Right now I want to kiss you until my lips are swollen red and my ears are hearing
promises of much more from you).......Instead I sigh irritated and say 'proscuitto, but its so damn cold'. I have no time to say anything else and she is gone silently ordering me to stay put.
I watch her eyes wander through the deli sections and she grasps onto it and plops it into my basket. 'I always deliver' her confidence now back and her eyes trolling through my basket. 'Wine, cheese, crackers and $45 a pound meat..are you entertaining tonight?' she asks sterner then I expected however as I looked through her basket of beer, doritos, salsa dip and M&Ms I grin at the contrast. 'Looks like Im not the only one'.
We continue chatting and before I know it I've invited her to bring her party supplies to my place and join me, lacing it with excuses about it
being Saturday, needing to relax and not minding company..leaving out that the excuse to spend time and openly stare at her is my main reason. Thankfully she agrees and sends me a winning smile. I can't help it and reach out and touch her arm...'thanks for getting the proscuitto' her reply of 'what you want when you need it' leaves me grinning and dirty thoughts beginning to conjure. I remove my hand and watch her staring in awe as though I was removing a syringe. She knows my address so I tell her Ill see her tonight and turn and leave with a grin on my face... this just got interesting.
Olivia POV:
I replayed the words in my head 'You don't live here, nor do you shop here, what do this half ass store and I owe the pleasure'. What I left out
is the fact I live 12 blocks away was returning from lunch with a friend when I saw you, followed you and ended up casually running in to you is of no consequence. I glance at my watch, four hrs until I plan to convince you that Im what you want what you need and will need for some time to come.
