Omg I just realized that I forgot to give you an update on the body shop guy I’m so sorry 😭 I’ll try to summarize everything but my memory is ass so forgive me if I leave anything out
So the week before Christmas, my little sister says she wants to go to the shop I got my faux navel at bc she knows some people that would like stuff like that for gifts (she’s a lying bitch btw she just wanted to go to the mall), so I took her and just watched her run through the store for like five hours. She beelined straight to this game store the second we got there bc they had a poster of Ghost in the window. She bought it.
Also unrelated but after the mall, she made me take her to Walmart to get her the COD MW beef jerky or whatever tf it was and the monster with ghost on the back. The monster tasted like shit tho so she made me drink the rest. God I hate her sometimes🧍♀️
She eventually dragged me to the bodyshop and went straight for the kill and headed to the register guy. My heart literally dropped bc that lil bitch is unpredictable. She didn’t say anything for a bit so he just looked down at her like 🤨 and went “can I help you?”
She immediately goes “is your name Sean” and I almost left her in the fucking store oh my fucking God I was so embarrassed. He just laughs (THANKFULLY SO) and says no. The sigh this bitch let out made the exchange actually hysterical. I got my $10 later that day lol. She fucks off to the shelves and pokes around, and makes me go talk to Mr. Crush while she fucked around with the piercing displays.
Note that I’d been wearing the fake navel, that I was severely allergic to, on the daily. My bellybutton was red, itchy, and bleeding. It was even starting to scab.
I walk up to him and just start off casually by asking if he has any different fake navels. He goes “yeah, I just got some hypoallergenic ones on Wednesday. Ordered them in case you came back” and I just. Bluescreened.
“Huh? 😀” I say, like a fucking idiot.
And I can’t remember what he says exactly but it’s mainly align the lines of “Yeah, I noticed the earrings you wore the past times you were in here are from the hypoallergenic brand at Walmart. Sorry if that’s weird, but it’s just something I picked up. I need to start selling hypoallergenic piercings anyway.”
I WAS FUCKING DUMBFOUNDED. TRY to tell me this isn’t the universe telling me to shoot my shot bc WHY ELSE would this man RECOGNIZE that my earrings were from WALMART because My Ass is a Fucking Cheapskate and Allergic to Metal. TELL ME IT ISN’T MEANT TO BEEEEEEEE 🗣️🗣️🗣️
So I get myself a new hypoallergenic fake navel piercing (which he gave me for FREE btw) AND GIRL. LEMME TELL YOU. HE LIKE DOES THAT THING WHERE HE PULLS THE BAG OUT OF REACH RIGHT AS I’M ABOUT TO GRAB IT AND I JUST. USUBEVRGSVJEJ
Anyway, he looks at me and says “don’t wear this until that heals” with a gesture to my very irritated bellybutton 🫠 THEN he goes, “actually, wait right here.” He rummages around underneath the counters for a sec and hands me this itty bitty little tube of hydrocortisone cream and I almost SCREAMED. WHERE HAS THIS MAN BEEN HIDING ALL MY LIFE. He said he usually includes them as a complimentary item if someone purchases a metal that causes more intense reactions, but anyone can ask for them. But I didn’t have to ask. He just wanted to look out for me and LITERALLY went “you don’t wear this thing until there’s no scabbing, got it? 👁️👁️” and AHAHAUSHH SEE B F B AIDBEHWHJ FINEHSJJSWBSIHEF
Then my sister asked him if he could pierce her conch and I had to kick her out before she did anything else that would get her grounded. So instead she flips me off on the other side of the glass while she waits for me outside the store. I literally can’t take her anywhere omfg.
I say bye and thank him for like the sixth time, and tell him to tell me if there’s any other way I can repay him for how considerate and generous he’s been. And THEN his smug ass goes “and how would you like to pay today?” With that cheeky ass lil grin that lets me know that he KNOWS he’s fine. He is VERY aware of the effect he has on women. Painfully aware, even.
So shit happens, I learn his name, and now we have our third date scheduled for this Saturday :) life is good
Bonus: when we got home my sister put the Ghost poster up in my room and said “merry Christmas, virgin” before ripping ass and leaving the room. The pain I would inflict upon this little shit if she weren’t my sister. And if I weren’t a nurse.
