Stays up front with the shopkeeper

Allison decided it would be best to wait up at the front for Mark. Whatever he was up to, Allison wanted no part of it.

So Allison stood around, looking at the curios around the store. She saw vibrators and dildos over in a section and thought for a second to look but decided against it.

The man at the cash register looked over at her

"Interested in some miss?" he asked

"Oh...um no, sorry. Just waiting on my friend. Sorry" Allison looked at his name tag "Sam"

"It's quite alright, miss...?"

"Allison"

"Well Allison, what brings you to an establishment like this? Are you looking for a toy or maybe something to use with your boyfriend? I saw you enter with that one young man" Sam asked

"Mark?!? Ha! No, he and I are not dating. Hell, we're barely friends. He just brought me here because he had "business" and wandered into the back. I shouldn't even be here. I should be on my way to Udon-con, but I had to break down into tears because of my aunt..." Allison was feeling the tears welling up

Sam stepped out from behind the counter and hugged Allison, "Hey, hey. It's ok" Sam patted Allison on the head and held her

This was the first time Allison really looked at Sam. He wasn't much older than her. Maybe in his late 30s early 40s. Brown tussled hair with a neatly trimmed goatee. And his smell...Allison couldn't put her foot on it but whatever he showers with smells amazing

"You smell nice" Allison cooed before realizing what a strange comment that was

"Thanks," Sam chuckled. "Listen, my break starts in a few minutes. Do you want to join me and we can talk? Get to know one another. I bet it'll be a lot more interesting than standing around up here for your friend."

Allison considered her options. Sam is an attractive man and wanted to get to know her. However, she had no idea when Mark would be back or if he would leave without her. What to do. What to do.
