Finding A New Purpose Chapter 5

"I'm putting mine on first," I said loudly, making sure Mike heard me.

"Hey, Mike!" The voice sounded familiar. It was coming from outside of the dressing room where Mike was sitting. I continued getting dressed.

"Oh uh. Hey, Jessica." He said her name loudly. "What are you doing here?"

All I really heard was 'Jessica.' I started panicking. 'Oh shit!' I sat down on my clothes and pulled my legs up, hoping she wouldn't notice anyone in the stall just a few feet away from her. I hadn't even thought about what I'd do if I ran into anyone that knew me, and here was my sister, talking to Mike.

"I could ask you the same..." She said, looking at him strangely. "You realize this is the women's dressing room, right?"

"Ha, oops. I get lost in big stores like this." He was trying to get himself out of the awkward situation. Failing miserably at it, too.

"Right... Hey I heard about you and Rachel. You get over it yet?"

"Yeah, I guess. I have been occupying myself with other things." That was for sure.

"Ah. You could have called me you know. I would have gladly helped you get over her." That slut! Had she seriously just said that?

Mike coughed, "Uh, thanks but, I think Alex would be pretty damn pissed about that." I was pissed already!

"Probably would be," She chirped. "You waiting for someone? I heard someone talking in the dressing room but the other stall is empty."

She had gotten Mike. His earlier excuse was pretty pathetic. "Oh right, yeah. Just a friend of mine. She asked me for her opinion on something," He said nervously trying to cover for himself.

"Well, that's nice of you." I heard her make her way into the other stall. Jessica shut the door hard and she started getting undressed. Great. My sister was getting naked right next to me and here I was, wearing a dress. I prayed she had lots of things to try on so I could get out before she finished. Or maybe I could wait long enough for her to leave? No, that wouldn't work, Mike had told her he was helping his friend who was trying on clothes.
