Everyday was the same and everyday she told herself she should’ve known working in an arcade would bring in a certain type of people. There were the (mostly) cute kids that came in with their parents, the adults that were feeling a bit nostalgic and then there were the pimply teenagers. The damn teenagers. “Hey, hey,” she told the ones standing in front of her, snapping her fingers in their direction. “My eyes are up here, losers. You realize I’m probably old enough to be your mother, right? Run along before I add you to my banned customers list.” She hadn’t technically told Bowie about this list she secretly kept, but what he didn’t know couldn’t hurt him. “Sorry about that,” Rory told the next person in line. “You’d be surprised how often that happens. Or maybe you wouldn’t.”

“Not surprised at all” Tyler shook his head with a knowing chuckle at the mention of the brunette’s list. “I was definitely on more than my fair share of those kind of lists when I was an annoying teen” he nodded thinking back. “More for causing trouble than eyeing up the assistants though”
“Actually, come to think of it, I’m probably still on quite a few lists now” he confessed knowing that just doing what he’d needed to do to survive had got him banned from a fair proportion of Silverlake businesses in the past. Just because he’d grown up and got his life together didn’t mean the business owners had forgotten. “Some people are like elephants” he joked. “They never forget”
