Lindsey was having a great first week in town. Getting her apartment in time, finding out her baby sister lives in the same town. The only thing that could top things off, was if this town was setting some sort of play or musical. Her life would be complete then. Another day had past though, and Lindsey decided to make the best of her summer vacation at the mall for a little shopping for summer clothes and perhaps some new theater shoes for the future.
Meandering through the mall, looking at all the shops and food courts around her, there wasn't that one moment where that smile dropped from her face. The first store that she spotted then, was personally was one of her favorites. Forever 21. She walked through the doors, taking in the smell of the newly put clothes on the racks. The summer dresses being the first place she headed to, she immediately spotted a dress that she absolutely had to try on. She picked it up, holding it up to herself before looking at the price of it. "Ooo...its cute..but...eh." she shrugged, setting the dress back after seeing how much it really was. Lindsey looked around some more, this time, more careful of the price range she was looking for. In that case, the sales rack was calling her name. She didn't find much, but it was definitely in her budget at the time. "Man, I hate being on a budget." she grumbled under her breath, skipping through each dress that came to her, with a look on her face reading that she was not at all happy about shopping the sales rack. "I seriously need to find a job. Pronto."

Enzo sighed, running a hand through his hair. Another busy day... He thought to himself, going into the back room to sign out. "Manager, I'm out." He told his boss, pointing in the general direction of the door.
"oh, Enzo, I won't be here on Friday, so I'm handing out paychecks early." The manager explained, handing him an envelope.
Score!!! Enzo thought, mentally pumping his fists in excitement. "Thank you sir." He said, trying to maintain his composure.
"Take care kid." the boss said, bidding him good bye.
Enzo left his work place and entered the main part of the mall, looking around as he put the envelope in his back pocket. I guess I could surprise the kids tonight... He thought, looking around. The only an advance could be better was if he got a promotion with it, but he knew not to expect that after barely working for a month. He went into Forever 21, knowing his sisters would love a cute skirt or something from there. He went inside the store, automatically going over to the sales rack and looking for something he thought his sisters might like.

Lindsey continued passing through each dress she saw, none of which struck her attention. Not even realizing someone joined her at the sales rack, she continued through the dresses, until finally spotting the one that seemed to suit her greatly. "Oh my god!" she couldn't help but shout, pulling it off the rack holding it up to her then the price tag, smiling wider to herself, squealing on the inside for her excitement to let out. Immediately after, Lindsey swung the dress over her shoulder spinning around to head in the opposite direction towards the dressing rooms when she rammed into some guy that seemed to be looking at the same rack as her, causing her to drop the dress she was holding onto the floor in a gasp. "Oh! I'm so sorry. I didn't see you." she immediately apologized, in a rather speedy voice too, as she quickly picked the dress back up in her arms, looking back at the guy with a sincere look in her eyes. "Are you okay? I'm really sorry. I guess I just...got a little excited." she explained, giggling out her mistakes she made, as she always did. |

Enzo smiled weakly, subconsciously rubbing his shoulder where she ran into him, "Y-yeah, I'm fine..." He told her, glancing from the sales rack to the woman in front of him. Even though he worked at a store in a shopping mall, he was still horrible at finding things like something his sisters would like. Hesitantly, he spoke up, "This uh... This may sound weird, but can I have you help? I'm trying to find something my sister's might like... but to them, I have no fashion sense..." He explained, pointing to his simple wife beater and black jeans, his work shirt hanging over one shoulder.

Lindsey nodded, her face still showing sincerity as he continued rubbing the arm that she ran into. She was about to go on her way to the dressing room again, this time, without any accidents on her way there, but was quickly stopped by the same guy asking her something. She couldn't help but giggle either. "Um, sure. I'll help you." she smiled, looking back through the racks with him. "Is there like, a certain style of clothing your sister's like?"

"Well... I don't know if it means anything to you, but in their words, 'We're from Paris.'" He said, making a face as mocked his sisters. "I've bought them things before and they pretend to like it and then never wear it... I guess... something classy and up-to-date?" He shrugged. "My eldest sister is seventee, and my younger one is fourteen." He added in last minute.

Lindsey nodded, giggling a bit when he mentioned them being from Paris. "Hm...well, it does sound like they could use something up to date." she told, rummaging through the rack again before looking back up to him with a grin, "but, unless I'm wrong, most of the up to date clothes would be somewhere other than the sales rack." she giggled, "that is, unless you're like me and don't have much money to spend." she smirked playfully, moving her eyes back to the rack, picking up a dress his sisters might like. "How about this one?" |

Enzo smiled sheepishly as she mentioned money. looking at the dress, he surveyed it, trying to imagine one of his sisters wearing it. "Besides the fact I'd never let Kamon wear that..." He said, trailing off. He crossed his arms, "I think it'd look good on Suchin though..." He said approving of her choice. He looked at the price tag, not able to hold back a grin before remembering there was someone else there. "I'm the epitome of a cheapskate." He told her jokingly.

Lindsey giggled lightly at his choice of words. "What are you, like a father to them or something?" she teased, "You sure sound like one, anyway." she added, placing the dress over her arm where the other dress that she picked out for herself was, rummaging through the rack for another cheap dress. She couldn't help but laugh at his last remark was though. "Oh, really? Try being poor like me." she laughed, joking around herself. "I'm still looking for a job to pay the bills, unlike you, who most likely already had a job by the look of it."

"Do I really sound like that?" Enzo asked, a look of worry on his face. "I guess... I'm something like that..." He told her simply, avoiding the question. After all, he moved to a new country with his siblings to avoid the pity that came with the truth. At her mention of not having a job, he raised an eyebrow. "We've got an opening at Bloomingdale's starting next week..." He tipped her. With a smile, he added, "Since you're helping me, I may as well help you, right?"

"Kind of." Lindsey told him with a slight nod. "Its fine though, I act like a mother to my little sister sometimes...even though she's only two years younger than me." she admitted, shrugging her shoulders at that. She was looking through the rack some more to find another dress that might fit one of his own sisters, when she suddenly stopped what she was doing as soon as she heard him say something about a job being open for hiring. "Are you serious?" her jaw dropped, "Oh my god, that would be so great of you. I've been looking for a job lately anyway, and this one could be perfect for me." she explained, talking a little too fast, but stopping herself before she possibly started to annoy the poor guy. "Oh, um..how about this?" she held up a tunic this time, bringing back the other conversation they were holding. |

"That's cute... I guess I could let Kamon get away with that..." Enzo agreed, gently taking the tunic from her and letting out a smile. He looked up at Lindsey, "Oh really?" He said, interested. "I have six siblings. The oldest after me is my nineteen year old brother Ame. But he's uh... he's not a good role model." He smiled, "And yeah, it'd be no problem. If you just mention you know me, I'll put in a good word for you." His grin widened, "And I'm shift manager, so I've got a lot of sway..."

Lindsey nodded, with a slight giggle slipping out. "You really are like a father to them. Even the way you're explaining them to me." she told him. "Its not a bad thing though, I mean, at least it means you'll make a good father later on in life." she added on, with a grin. Smiling even wider when he told her he would put in a good word for her, even if they didn't really know each other all that well yet. "That'd be great!" she explained, her eyes sparkling in excitement. "I'll have to go down there later today to fill out an application. Thanks again, by the way."

Enzo smiled, but still looked a bit nervous, as if she'd figure out his family's living situation just based on her assumptions. As she changed the subject, he relaxed more. "Yeah, definitely. Uh... what's your name? So I know who to look for." He asked, feeling awkward they'd been talking this whole time without introducing each other.

Lindsey giggled, "I'm Lindsey." she finally introduced, holding her free hand out to shake his. "What's your name? So I know who to mention in my interview." she asked, giggling towards the last part.
