Can I help you?

You could always tell when summer was right around the corner, the stores were chock-full of  people desperate to shed the winter look. The bathing suit rack seemed as if a tornado had hit it. After sifting through I managed to find a lovely jade set. Glancing about I spotted the changing room, just needed to check the top I thought.

I smiled at the attendant as she did the obligatory item count, "Just this one?"

"Yes, definitely don't want a mishap at the beach," I laughed as she directed me towards the back.

"I'm sure you wouldn't hear anyone else complaining," she said as I walked away, I could feel her eyes following me.

Every stall was empty which surprised me with as busy as the store was. Randomly picking one I tossed my purse on to the bench, closed the door and began to unbutton my shirt. Glancing up at the mirror I was surprised at how pale my skin looked under the florescent lighting.

"I'm going on break in a minute just want to try on the skirt," I heard the attendant tell her counterpart as she walked into the dressing room. The stall next to mine opened followed by the standard rustling of someone trying to get out of their jeans.

I had just started to pull the bathing suit top up when I heard the door click. In the mirror I watched her slip in behind me, "Did you need any help?" She asked as she stood near me, our eyes locked in the mirror.

With one eyebrow raised I lowered my arms letting the top slip off my shoulder.
