sage walked along the cracked cement sidewalk in search of a cold drink to refresh her dry mouth. she was hot; sweat forming on her forehead and the rays of the sun baking her skin. she swore underneath her breath for not wearing sunscreen and kept walking until she saw the sign that read manny's convenience store. she walked in the store; acknowledging micheal behind the counter before walking to the back of the store towards the drinks. she opened the door and sighed as the cool air currents soothed her overheated skin. and she grabbed the watermelon arizona, walked back to the counter, paid and opened it as soon as possible. she took gulps while walking and ran into a stranger. and the drink spilled all over her shirt and the stranger wolf whistled. and she looked up angry and slapped the stranger across the face because honey, sage was not the person for that type of stuff. and the stranger held his cheek and smirked and said,

"babe, my cheek isn't the only thing that's red."

and sage looked down to that you could see the red of her bra through her shirt and scoffed; walking away from him and throwing her arizona in the garbage can near the front of the store.
