For me, family holidays are always boring. So I'm sure you can understand that while sitting on the plane going to Cyprus, I was not too pleased. I hadn't been there in 8 years so was excited to see my family, but to be honest; there was nothing to do where I was staying.
I would wake up each morning, get ready and go out to town. Three days into the vacation, my cousin asked me to get a movie to watch in the evening. In town there was no place to rent movies, but there were two shops which sold them so I decided to go them.
The first store was cramped with hardly any light due to masses of movie posters stretched across the windows. I navigated my way through the stands of CD's and unsold cassette tapes to the back of the shop where the DVD's were shelved. I ran a finger along the covers, tilting my head to the left to read the titles; however, nothing really stood out for me. I knew I had to choose a movie soon, because it was around the time where the shops started to close. Feeling disappointed, I stepped out of the store ready to go home empty-handed when I remembered that there was a second store straight across from the one I had just been in. I crossed the road, fast, dodging the oncoming traffic, stepped inside and took a deep breath.
The girl at the counter looked up from the newspaper she was reading, gave me a smile. Stepping out from behind the counter she asked,
"Hi. I'm Aliye. Do you need any help?"
"Nice to meet you Aliye" I said, holding out my hand as she held out hers, "I'm Gee. Can you tell me where the horror movies are?"
Her hand touched mine, and I felt her warm skin. I looked into her eyes which were an amazing shade of blue. I got lost in them. It is unusual for Turkish girls to have blue eyes and blonde hair, but it suited her wonderfully. Then it clicked. She was the Aliye my aunt had told me about. She was what they called "the town lesbian". She had come out in front of her whole school when she was 12 and ever since then, word had spread and she had been treated differently. I was a little surprised at first. From the way my aunt had described her, I imagined her to be really butch. I let my eyes scan over her from head-to-toe, taking in all her features. She was quite petite, around 5"4, which was the same height as me and she had slender hands, with a curvy figure. Her face was round and her lips were plump. Again, she looked around my age. Her short, blonde crop was swept behind her ears; her ample breasts seemed about the same size as mine, again, through her tee. In one word, she was angelic.
With a smile, she led me to the back, right hand corner of the store. Her head kept checking back, as she walked, to see if I was still following her. Every time she turned to face the front, I couldn't help but let my eyes wander to her perfect behind. It shape was just visible through her low-rise jeans, and I couldn't help but notice the swirling black lines coming up from inside the jeans. It was a tattoo, but I couldn't work out how far it went down. Finally she came to a halt. She flashed me another smile and told me that they were on the two shelves in front of her. I was mesmerized by her presence and must have zoned out, because next thing I know, she had her hand on my shoulder asking if I was ok. I gave her a small nod and she smiled again, walking back to the counter to leave me to browse.
I waited until she was out of sight. I shook my head. I had never been so captivated by a lady before. I wanted to know all I could about her, and not second hand information. I wanted to be near her. From the 2 minutes I had spent in the shop, I could not think of anything other than her. What was wrong with me, I asked myself. I composed myself, picked out a DVD without even looking at what it was, and walked slowly to the counter, breathing deeply to calm myself.
Once I reached the front, she looked up at me. I placed the DVD onto the counter, and waited for her to speak.
"This DVD is actually in Turkish with English subtitles. Is that alright?" she asked. I nodded, not wanting to speak at the risk of stammering like a fool.
"Okay. Then that's £3. Is that all you want?"
This time I had to speak. "Nope, that's all thank you" I said handing over the money. She gave me a small nod, and handed me the bag with the DVD inside. I took it, and went outside without another word. As I stepped outside, I screamed at myself, inside me. Why didn't I just ask her out? I must have looked like an idiot rushing out the store like that. I convinced myself to go back in the store to ask her. I couldn't let this chance get away. I knew I would regret it if I didn't say anything. I composed myself, once again, turned back around, and walked back into the shop.
She looked up, and gave me a smile. "Is everything alright" she asked.
I walked up to the counter, took a deep breath, looked into her captivating eyes, and just let the words flow out. "Do you want to go out? Like for something to eat?"
Her eyes widened, but she looked a little puzzled.
"I can't help but notice the way you asked that. Do you mean like a date?" she said.
I fumbled my fingers and looked down. "Yeah, I mean, if that's okay with you."
The corners of her mouth curled into a smile. "I'd love to, but I hope you don't have a problem with me being gay. A lot of people tend to not want to speak to me because of it" she said.
