It was the first real day I'd had off in weeks. I was tired of getting home after everything was closed except the bars and I was sick of seeing only my own four walls and my cubical. Even the bar scenes were boring to me; the same people, the same music, the same fights. So, I hit out to the ultimate experience in humanity at it's finest and I went to the mall.
Fortunately, the town mall is the largest one for about 400 miles. It's got a couple floors in it, some real restaurants, a fountain in the middle, and probably 1000 stores or more. Needless to say that on Saturdays, the place is packed.
I got there early. I had some stuff I wanted to get and I was looking forward to stretching my legs and wandering around. I could have gotten the exercise outside; the weather had been good enough for that, but something about the controlled climate of the mall just appealed to me. That, and the view was usually pretty good in the mall. It held everything from the posh shopping for the latest fashions in the area to the little mall rats that were here whether it was the weekend or not.
I got a decent parking place and walked inside. The day was already getting warm and I could feel the humidity creeping up, making me very glad that I had picked air-conditioning over the slight breeze of the mid-west. The mall was likewise fairly busy already, and the piped in musak could barely be heard over the roaring murmur of the gathering crowd.
I stopped in at the local movie store and looked around the place, trying to find something that was a little funny or something with a lot of action, or both if I could find it. While I was in here, I was checking out the sales staff as well. There was a guy in here, not my type, I don't swing that way, but he looked to be in pretty good shape. After listening to him, he seemed to be a little more than a dork. The other two salespeople were girls, one looked like a tired housewife in her late thirties, wearing her graying hair like a badge of honor. The other looked like a high school girl, her face breaking out in acne, trying to cover it up with make-up as if it was a badge of shame. I mentally crossed both of them off my list; the older one wasn't my type and the other was probably going to get me arrested.
My gaze switched to the patrons and I saw a group three girls come in. They looked like college-aged riff-raff. The one that caught my eye was a redhead, her was hair almost a foot and a half long in the front, tapering back to about 6 inches in the back, framing her head and shoulders beautifully. The first inch of hair on either side of her face was dyed silver, and she took amazing care of it; it shimmered in the light so beautifully. She was wearing a shredded black tank top, and a red satin bra could be seen under it prominently. A black leather choker was around her neck with a silver medallion of some sort in the center. Black wristbands adorned both her wrists with some sort of red star emblem on the top. Her skin stood out in stark contrast, being white as the driven snow. I moved around the store, trying to get a better look at her; the shelves kept blocking my view of the rest. After trying to not look conspicuous, I finally got a full view of her.
Her legs were straight and skinny, clad in tight black denim and leather pants with zippers laced through out their length. Most of them were open, exposing more white flesh beneath. They were slung incredibly low on her hips, and I couldn't figure out (and still can't) how they managed to stay up. An unbelievably sexy amount of belly was showing between the top of her pants and the bottom of that red bra. The tank top more or less ended at the base of that bra, with some shreds dangling further down her back. A few more tattoos adorned her ribs and were around her belly button, looking like a cross between tribal and Asian designs. All of them were jet black with silver ink outlining them. There was one right above the top of her jeans, and it was pink in color, but I couldn't make out what it was.
One of her friends caught me staring at her. I was spotted and pointed out. She said something to the other friend and they both turned and half-scowled at me, but the redhead only turned to see me and looked away. A second later she turned around again and brushed that platinum and red hair out of her face, showing me one eye and a cocky smile. That made me happy.
I had gotten in shape in college and in the couple years since then I was working in an office and had gotten a little soft. Last year my friends signed my up for a gym membership for my 24th birthday and I had worked and worked to get my body toned back up again. I didn't turn into a huge-armed monstrous freak, but I got to be well muscled and very toned. It made me happy to see that someone actually appreciated it. But, figuring I was probably not going to get anywhere because of the goon squad accompanying her, I bought my movie and took off.
I wandered around the mall for a little, making the rounds in the multi-winged temple to capitalism, and found a bookstore. I checked around for my favorite authors and a few of the magazines that I pick up when I see them, and I was about to leave when I saw the redhead wander in and her friends kept moving. They broke apart after saying something, but I was too far away to hear it and I never did learn to read lips. She came in and wandered over to the horror section and dipped below the shelves. I walked over to her aisle and cleared my throat. She turned and looked at my boots, her head slowly turning up my six-foot frame, but pausing at my crotch and my chest before settling on my face. Her eyes narrowed a little and she stood up slowly. I could hear the leather in her pants creak and she cocked her hips, putting her hands on the bare flesh of her waist. "I'm beginning to get the feeling you're following me," I said, and gave her a slow look up and down.
