The Mcq store

TERRY almost missed DAY 1 of London Fashion Week, owing to a fluke at the Alexander Mcqueen store opening. He first visited the McQ Flagship store in June, but was told he'd have to wait few more months. Few months seemed like years. Naturally, when it finally opened, he and his sidewalk sidekick, ROSH, were FIRST in the queue. Other Alexander Mcqueen's aficionados arrived hours later.

This jacket is at the center of the fluke. More later.

SECURITY stepped forward as Terry and Rosh attempted to enter the store.


TERRY:

Is this the new Alexander Mcqueen store?



SECURITY:

Yes!



TERRY:

So do we need invitations or something to enter?



SECURITY, Demi;
(stepping back)

No! Not at all.


TERRY:

Thank you

Staff members were immediately noticeable. They were well-dressed and, of course, there was a disproprtionate number of them to the number of shoppers.

If there were clear signs indicating what department was upstairs and downstairs, Terry did not notice them. Rosh rushed downstairs excitedly. On instinct, Terry mounted the wide, beautifully carpeted stairs. They led to the Menswear department. Like the first floor, it was spacious and immaculate. Both the ready-wear and catwalk pieces were lush, resplesdent and priceless.


A woman was taking pictures of the delightful pieces in the collection. Terry assumed she was a blogger. He whipped out his camera, and without asking for permission, started taking photographs of items he fancied. ALL OF THEM.

STAFF
May I help you?


TERRY

I'm just looking(and taking pictures), thanks

Terry and the 'blogger' got so carried away while snapping away, they almost bumped into each other. They shared a smile, then moved on.

.................................................................................................................

This STUNNING biker jacket captured Terry's little heart. He daydreamed about teaming it with lots of other pieces in his 'famous' suitcase. He had a casual glance at the price tag; £1,265.00.....
A staff member rushed to Terry's side.

Heart stealer!

  STAFF: Are you feeling okay?


TERRY:

May I have a chair, please? Quickly!


STAFF
Sure. (to ROSH) did he fall down or something?


ROSH

No. He saw the price of that biker jacket. I think it over-impressed, sorry, over-whelmed him

..................................................................................................................

STAFF

I'm sorry


TERRY

It's my fault. I had already noticed that the other biker Jacket cost £2,340, so  I shouldn't have looked on the    

price tag for this one. UGH!


STAFF

Shall I get you a glass of water


TERRY

Good God, no. I'm feeling better now


..............................................................................................

Rosh:

Never mind, it's not that appealing anyway.


TERRY:

Look! I love that look. Put on your glasses and have another look at it.


ROSH:

When you attain your dream of becoming a sidewalk icon, tourists from all over the world taking pictures of you on the bench, you can come back and buy it.


TERRY:

I deserve it Now. Not years from now


ROSH:
(admonished)
Have a little faith man.


TERRY:

You don't understand. I have never loved a biker jacket before. I desperately need this one. It's so stylish, so vibrant, so....


ROSH:

......It's not meant to be man. Forget it...for now...until you start raking in millions from you iconic sidewalk status. It will be worth the wait. I promise you.


TERRY:

The time is now....Almost £1300. I have NEVER seen that kind of money in my life. Damn!


ROSH

Okay, since it will restore your smile, I'll buy it for you.


TERRY

Your kindness is more priceless than this expensive jacket. Let's go!


ROSH

What about the jacket?


TERRY:

I don't need it! It will be a cold winter without it, but I'll be fine with someone like you sitting beside me on the bench.


ROSH

What? You can't just unlove the jacket in an instant like that. That's not possible.


TERRY

Come on! Can't you see that YOU  have RESTORED my smile? We already missed a few hours of magic at London Fashion Week, so Let's GO. (to bemused staff members) I'll be back...


ROSH
(teased)
Years from now


TERRY

Have some faith man!!
