Kemala feels her phone vibrate while it sits in her pocket, piquing her attention as she busied herself in the cooler room. She relieves her hands from the weight of a box of apples, gently placing in on the cool tiles. She slips the phone out of her pocket, expecting Lando's name and to her satisfaction his name displays brightly:

I'm going to be driving down now, I expect some bomb ass ice tea when I arrive ;)

She giggles, bringing a hand up to her lips before replying:

Ain't no fucking way, drive safe tho :D

She slips the phone back into her pocket, resuming her stocking duties. She huffs through her work, her hands enveloping countless boxes of apples, lemons and strawberries with a cold sweat beginning to break upon her temple. She eyes the fresh, delectable fruits with a small twinge of hunger gnawing within her stomach. The repetitive motion between the arms and her knees have caused aches, her back coming in contact with the cool conditioned walls. She allows her back to slide across the wall before she meets the ground and rests her limbs. She envelopes her hand on her phone once again, slipping it out of her pocket to check the time: it's been about twenty minutes and nearing her lunch break. She feels the constant twinge of hunger beginning to strengthen within her, her fingers typing away to send a message to Lando:

I know you're driving but can u hurry tf up LMAO

She rests her hands upon her lap, unsuspecting of a reply from him. However, she feels a jolt of vibration buzz through her fingers. Her eyes quickly travel to see Lando's name light up her screen with the following message:

Aight bet I'll wait at this stop light faster LMAO

A laugh involuntarily escapes her lips, a hand coming up to meet her curved lips. She quickly types to his reply:

Shut up! EYES ON THE ROAD >:(

She shakes her head with a smile, her eyes searching the refrigerated room for her water bottle she had placed in beforehand. Once she had found the metal bottle atop a metal shelf, she brings herself up to her knees before enveloping her hands around its cooled base to bring it to herself. She twists the cap swiftly, tipping the cool water into her parted lips

"Mala?" A muffled voice calls out to her "Mala?" The voice calls out again once the fridge's door had clicked open

"Mmhmm?" She hums, continuing to gulp at the water in her bottle

"I'm pretty sure Lando's here" Arthur speaks, eyeing the girl sat comfortably on the cool tiles. Kemala had felt her phone buzz once again, checking the screen to see Lando's name upon it:

I'm outsideee

For someone asking for me to hurry up, you're really taking your time

"Oh, you're right" she speaks up to Arthur, her head leaning to meet the towering gaze. She twists the cap shut, bringing herself to stand with assistance of the surrounding shelves around her. She pats herself off gently before meeting Arthur outside the walk-in fridge
