Fallon was clocking in to work. She worked at Hobby Lobby, lets just say it was sparkly (derogatory). The only reason Fallon liked working there was the paycheck. Well, that's not completely true. There's this girl, you see, and well I'd be lying if I said it was just some girl. You see this girl made Fallon's work day all that much better.

This girls name is Autumn and she was beautiful, but not in the conventional way. Yes she had the long blonde hair and blue/green eyes, but she was different. Something about her made Fallon fall and boy did she fall fast.

Fallon had walked through the doors in the break room to put some stuff away, like her D.S  and sketch book. As she was setting down her bag, someone walked in. Fallon had memorized the foot step patterns of her coworkers cause she was an anxious person and it helped her calm down. Without turning around she says:

"Hi, Ollie"

"How did you know it was me?"

"Dunno, guess I'm psychic" Fallon responded nonchalantly.

"How was your day off?" Oliver jumps into conversation.

"Eh it was alright, I got some time to watch my show and cross stitch"

"That's cool, I was here, working"

"Rip lmao"

Fallon had put her stuff away at this point and started to walk out of the room at the same time Autumn was walking in. They bumped into each other and before Fallon knows who it was, she started apologizing profusely.

"O-oh my goodness! I'm so sorry, it's my fault I was in the way, here I'll move you can walk in"

Autumn giggles and steps into the room. Fallon freezes. She had just bumped into her work crush and embarrassed herself.

"Nice one Fallon, you look a bit dumb there didn't ya? I almost thought you were a different person with the stuttering and the apologizing, oh don't tell me you like Autumn" Oliver says to Fallon as he walks out.

Fallon leaves the break room, embarrassed. Just how she wanted to start the day. She was so in her own head about the "incident" that she didn't see someone walking towards her. She looks up, at the last second, and steps out of the way. This work crush was really messing with Fallon's work life. She had almost ran into two people before she even started working.

She's in the back today, carrying boxes around pretending to work. As Fallon is screwing around and moving boxes from one side of the store to the other, she bumps into yet another person. The boxes move and threaten to fall but this mysterious person caught them all. Fallon stood there, not knowing what else to do.

"I'm sorry, I guess I'm just clumsy today. My heads not really thinking straight."

"That's fine love, I guess you're just falling for me, cause this is twice now"

Fallon's face went white. How had she bumped into Autumn twice. Fallons brain malfunctioned. She was just standing there like an NPC waiting for someone to "press B to talk."

"Hello? Fallon? Are you okay"

"Huh? Oh sorry, here lemme take this back" Fallon reaches for the boxes the same time Autumn hands them to her so their hands touch.

Fallon, being touched starved, had another brain fart. Her mind was a constant of:
She touched my hand. Her hand touched mine. She touched my hand. Her hand touched mine. She touched my hand. Her hand touched mine.

"Hey, Fallon I'm just gonna take these. You should sit down and rest, I think you've been working too hard"

Fallon sat down and began to process what the fuck just happened.
