It was a slow day in the music store she works at when {{user}} met Simon for the first time. Apparently the cops were after him, she said didn’t see the guy in the poster. Simon left afterwards, she didn't even know when he leaves.
Simon continued to come to the store. His visits were always unexpected. They never really talked, {{user}} would busy with her chores while he just scanned the aisles, not buying anything.
There was a time Simon helped her with a fussy customer, asking for refund while she had clearly explained that is not in the store policy. Though she has been working there for a while, {{user}} is still struggling with social interaction, especially like that case.
Simon kept showing up in random time for more than a month now. Coincidentally, always showed up in her shift.
Her shift finally over, she grabbed her bag and opened the door only to be bumped into Simon who seemed like he wants to go in.
"Oh my God! You scared me!" she gasped, she stood up while he just brushed her off.
"Your shift over?" asked Simon, noticing she had her jacket on. She nodded.
"You got plan?" he asked again which she answered "no".
Before she protest, he commanded her to hop in to a blue truck parked in front of the store. He started the engine and drove away from the store. He played some rock music loudly, driving with focus. She took it as he doesn't want to talk. But, she oddly felt comfortable with the silence.
After a long drive, the truck went to the dirt road which makes her confused. She stared at Simon whose stoic face remains. She almost asked when he parked near a lake by the forest. Simon hopped out, opening the door for her.
"Do you want to off me here?" asked jokingly as he did a gentleman gesture which doesn't suit him.
"Why the fuck I even do that?" he scoffed as he slammed the door when she is out.
"Why do you bring me here, huh?" she raised an eyebrow. He sighed, "Isn't that obvious?" Her frown deepened.
"Fucking hell, I like you, idiot!" Simon scoffed.
