Pacsun Ghost..

It was a while back at Pacsun, I had worked there for my first job; really good one actually, I enjoyed it very much. Considered myself special in a way; I mean it made me smile seeing as most first jobs consist of working at places like, food joints or convenient stores. It really wasn't that bad of a gig when it comes to mind; fold clothes, check hot girls out, and get high. Those were the days.

On one occasion I had the best and most particular day of my life working there. I was folding some shirts up in the front, just getting them sized up and getting them ready to put on the shelf when this girl came in. I don't remember having many first words for it but it was probably something like "Ha..ha...hi...." (meaning "hi")

I mean she was gorgeous, probably about 5'3" or 5'4", she wasn't that short at all but it was probably her summer heels she wore that made her seem tall. Though from my perspective her height was completely oblivious to me. In that exact instant and moment as she walked in, time itself froze just for me.

Within my instant of paused time; I looked deep in her soft green eyes and with a smile upon her lips, she looked back deep in mine. It was as if she knew that she had made my day; she had that walk, as if purpose had taken her over to bring her inside the store, or perhaps it was just her walk. She knew that I at that instant had eventually fallen face first for her. She was an angel with her dark brown hair, or something of an angel. She looked into me with those eyes, like she knew everything about me, everything. Her smile gave me the answer of "yes, I know how to make you smile."

Complete and absolute stranger to me, I had found a three letter word to write horizontally in my crossword puzzle, it was "her".

It's funny because she was only in the store for no more than five minutes. I was just so into her at that point. As soon as she left, my frozen time went back to life's normal warp speed. Though, as she left the store she decided to turn her head around just to smile back at me one last time, I hadn't even said "Goodbye" or "Thanks for coming." but she herself decided that she should smile to me, turn her head as she's right at the door and smile.
