Corner Store

A girl who’s trying to decide whether or not to call someone

One night a beautiful girl, Nichole, who is 5’5, with long dark brown hair, and big green eyes, was hanging out at the corner store with her friends. They were sitting in the back of her 2002 Black lifted Chevy Silverado. The girls were talking about the boys that were in their life. Nichole had just got into a fight with her boyfriend; therefore, she was out on the town with her girls to cheer her up. In the back of her mind she couldn’t decide if she should call him or not.
She knew that the fight was stupid and that she loved him but at the same time she was mad at him. Her friends were comforting her and telling her she was in the right and the boyfriend was a jerk. Nichole loved her boyfriend, Andrew, with all her heart but she was hurt and wasn’t sure if she had the strength to call him.
The corner store was the place to hang out. Everyone on Friday and Saturday night would come out with their pick up trucks. Everyone would just sit on the tailgates and socialize. Nichole wasn’t having as much fun as everyone else was. She was watching her friends flirt with someone of the guys that were three trucks down. She was happy for her friends because she remembered the day she met Andrew in that same corner store parking lot.
As the night went on Nichole still couldn’t make up her mind about calling Andrew. Then she saw his truck pull up into the corner store parking lot. He parked two rows away from Nichole. She was a little hurt by this but at the same time knew it was probably best. She saw him get out of his 1976 Ford F250 and open his tailgate. At that moment she knew she needed to talk to him.
Andrew saw Nichole when he drove into the parking lot. He wanted to talk to her but he didn’t know what to say. He knew he was in the wrong but didn’t know how to apologize. After a few minutes he got the courage to go over and talk to Nichole. Nichole saw Andrew coming and her heart began to beat faster and faster. She started to get butterflies in her stomach and felt that she wouldn’t be able to breathe.
“You look beautiful tonight,” said Andrew. “Thank you,” replied Nichole. “I’m sorry for yelling at you. I guess I just don’t like seeing you talking to bull riders or cowboys.” “Why? They are just my friends,” answered Nichole. “Because, you love those kinds of guys. They are your dream guys,” said Andrew. “I love you Andrew. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be with you. Yes, I love the rodeo but I don’t want to be with anyone else but you. Plus, I don’t like all of the people you hang out with. You know Brittany likes you and she is always coming over. I don’t like the way she acts around you. It bothers me really bad.” “She is just a friend. She is not even my type Nichole and you know that. She spent so much money on those new sneakers she got and I think that’s stupid. You know me and what I like,” replied Andrew.
Nichole looked into his eyes and knew he was right. She never did like Brittany but she also knew Brittany and Andrew getting together would never happen. Andrew walked toward Nichole, grabbed her waist, pushed her against her truck and kissed her. She put her hand on his face and kissed him back. She knew that one day she wanted to marry Andrew and loved him with all her heart. They had their good days and bad days but what couple doesn’t. You have to work at a relationship everyday.
Seven years later, on a Friday night the same friends were hanging out at the same corner store. Everyone was back together again having a great time. Andrew and Nichole were sitting on the back of Andrew’s truck, as they usually did on Friday nights. Andrew then turns and looks at Nichole. “Nichole, remember the first night we met in this parking lot about eight years ago?” “Yeah, why?” replied Nichole. “I knew at that moment that I wanted you in my life forever. So, I’m asking you Nichole, will you be with me forever?” Nichole was in shock and didn’t know how to react. “Of course I will,” she replied. Nichole put her arms around Andrew and they shared one of the most romantic kisses they ever had.
