\u201cExcuse me, but can you tell me where I would find Kings of Leon, please?\u201d<\/p>\n
I thought about telling her that I was not a member of staff, but she was fairly clearly somebody\u2019s Mum, rather than a fan, and I didn\u2019t have the heart to throw her on the questionable mercies of the actual staff. I\u2019d be lying if I said I wasn\u2019t a bit attracted to her as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cEr, yeah sure. Just come this way and I can point them out to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She smiled and relaxed, she seemed relieved to be led to the Rock section of the store.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, are you a fan?\u201d<\/p>\n
I asked as we weaved in and out of other browsing customers. She smiled and laughed nervously;<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I\u2019m more a Girls Aloud and a bit of Aleesha perhaps. No this is my punishment for getting myself a younger man. It\u2019s his birthday and I wanted to get him something he really wants, which was fine until I had to walk into a record shop.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but laugh at myself on the inside as this admission trickled out of her; my good deed for the day was not going to be rewarded with a phone number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
