[There's a significant pause and then a spitting sound.]

Okay so truth time. I love that buzzed, hyper, omg everything is amazing feeling that six shots of espresso in a latte gives you.

The truth part? It tastes like crap and that makes me sad.

[And another significant pause]

Sometimes, I buy a pair of shoes and realize I have a pair at home that looks almost like the pair I just bought but that new shoe high just makes it impossible for me to say no. And yes, I've had months when I ate ramen and didn't pay the light bill because new shoes are my addiction.

If you're no good at being poor, shouldn't you try to reign in those impulses? I mean. I know it's difficult, but still.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Or work harder at making money.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Or that. I suppose that's better than not buying shoes.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Sort of my philosophy.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Good one.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Anyway, I'm Lucy. I don't think we've met and fellow shoe addicts should stick together.

[If they have met then I'm a dipshit and don't remember.]

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

I'm Cameron. It's really nice to meet you.

[ They've never talked before! ]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you too. So what do you do in the City?

[Oh good! I like when I'm not a dumbass]

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

I'm the Chief of Police. And yourself?

[ Hah, not being a dumbass is always good! :D ]

[She's so used to responding that she does nothing, she almost says that and catches herself at the last minute.]

I own a bath and body kind of shop here in town. It's kind of new.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

A bath and body shop. I think I'll have to come by sometime, see what you have to offer.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I'm there most of the time but if I'm not Jill is or the pretty shirtless boy. He'll tell he's not paid to sell things but he is not strictly decoration, no matter what he says.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

You have shirtless boys as a sort of decoration?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Yes! His name is Jace. He lives with me too. His official title is Eye Candy. He's also seventeen so...decoration. He is ridiculously pretty. Especially when he doesn't talk, which isn't often.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

He's seventeen and willingly spends time in a bath and body shop?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

No, I pay him to do it.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

That makes somewhat more sense.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

And he doesn't really have to work that hard. We don't usually leave him in the store alone.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

That might be a smart choice on your part. Though of course I don't know him, so I can't judge.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

He wouldn't hurt anything. He just wouldn't do anything.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

I was more worried about your sales.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Good point. I should come up with some sort of incentive for them to buy things while he's there. Buy some bubble bath and Jace will take off his shirt.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

That would probably work well with the younger girls.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

It'd totally work for me. I'm twenty four so I don't know if I count as younger or not.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

You count as younger from my perspective.
