i don't care if you're sick [tagged]

just another day at work for byrnleigh, she liked working at zumiez. it was a chill place, chill people and she didn't have to change anything about herself for her job. however, when it came time for her to get her shit and leave she wasn't crying over it. "five more minutes!" she danced around her one co-workers, who told her to shut up and stop bragging about how she was free for the night. that particular day, byrn had worked from ten in the morning to five thirty but for some reason she wasn't feeling too tired. the girl pulled out her phone, scrolling through her text messages until a certain name had caught her eye. diego. diego was a good friend of hers, and they'd been friends for quite a bit. quite a bit meaning three years. she began texting away, then let her eyes scan over the message. come to the mall i'm free from work!? <3 she debated whether or not she should keep the heart, and before she bitched out and erased it she had already sent it off.

her situation with diego made her head spin, he was literally her best guy friend and she loved him to pieces. but somewhere within that three year friendship, she had literally fallen in love with him. sure, she hid some things from him when it came to her past and her current bad habits but those were skeletons bryn wanted to keep in her closet. as she shook the thoughts from her head she scanned the clock once more, and ran to the register to clock out. after saying goodbye to her co-workers, byrnleigh stepped out in the mall. after grabbing a dr pepper from the vending machine, bryn sat on a bench awaiting for a text back from diego.

work had been pretty slow that day, and diego had spent the majority of it out back smoking. considering his best friend was his boss, diego had it pretty easy. of course, he didn't slack off all the time. diego loved his job, and inking people's skin had been a a passion of his for years. but when it was quiet instore, he had no other choice than to just chill. which was actually pretty sweet considering most of his co workers were mates of his.

closing up shop took under five minutes at closing time, and diego was just going to head home, when his phone buzzed. his lips twitched upwards into a smirk as he read the text, flicking a text back to her quickly. sure, be there soon! for a moment, he had just contemplated showing up and surprising her, but in the five or so minutes it might take him to get there, brynleigh might decide to go home. and diego didn't want to miss her.

deciding to walk the few blocks to the mall, it didn't take diego long at all to get there. once stepping inside, he started to head towards bryn's workplace, only to spot her on a bench nearby. circling around to approach her from her blindspot, he closed the distance between them, lifting his hands to cover her eyes. "guess who, booger." he laughed, not even bothering to disguise his voice. there was no point anyway. he never seemed to fool her.

(( lol, sorry for crap <3 ))

just after she took a sip of her soda, she felt her phone buzz and a stupid grin lit up her face. she didn't bother to reply, since she'd be seeing him soon anyway. she sat and waited, even more excited than before. she started tapping her feet, nervously while looking around the mall for diego. he was hard to miss, tall as fuck with tattoos not to mention just him being drop dead gorgeous in general. brynleigh let her mind travel to what the day would bring, would she finally get the courage to tell diego how she felt? lulz how hilarious, at his rate he'd never find out. she was too insecure to tell him the truth, although he did sometimes give her the word vomit affect so she had no idea what was going to happen. she got lost in her thoughts, sighing aloud. a few adorable couples caught her eye and she pouted, they were so happy and she literally envied them. she watched them hug and kiss and just be super cute, things she imagined herself doing with diego... amongst other things but she kept that to herself.

suddenly things went black, and she smirked hearing the voice behind her speak up. "is this tyrone from down the block?" she teased, turning around with her cheesy grin still in tact. she hopped over the backless bench, opening her arms and wrapping them around his waist. "what's up chicken butt?" she snickered, grabbing her soda and looking up at her gorgeous mexican friend.
