Things Happen (Chapter 7)

Amanda’s POV—

            Here we go again another week of school and work. I’m getting so tired of all this work. I just want to relax and do absolutely nothing for once. Is that possible? I don’t think so, not for me anyway.

            These past few weeks have been hectic. I hardly got to see Gaby. Our schedules are not compatible at all which sucks. The only times I got to see her was after work or after classes.

            We are supposed to go out to dinner tonight. Hopefully nothing comes up…for either of us that would change that. I’m so excited to see her, it’s been like forever! Ok just two days, but that’s forever to me!

            Only one class this morning then right after I have to go into work, eight hours. It’s going to be a long day. No worries I have something to look forward to. I don’t remember anything my professor said during class, I just kept thinking one class, work, Gaby!!

            The next few hours went by in a daze. Class had ended and I had been at work for 2 hours.  I couldn’t remember leaving campus, coming to work, or even working the last few hours.

            Shaking my head, and slightly slapping myself to ‘wake up’ I decided I needed to keep it together. I can’t get fired! Looking around the store for something to do, I noticed a beautiful brunette near the entrance. She had her hair up in a messy bun, was wearing a cute ¾ sleeve button down and jeans that accented her very nicely. After staring at her I decided to see if she needed a little help.

            “Hi there can I help you find anything today?” I asked. She turned to me slightly startled. Then smiled and did a quick once over, looking me up and down, which made me blush. She had incredible blue green eyes.  

            “Hello,” she answered “I need some new jeans, but I can’t decide which color, or shade, or fabric to get. I like the darker shade but the fabric seems rough. What do you think?”

            “Well comfort comes before appearance right? I would go for whichever jean that has a more comfortable feel to it.”

            “True but this lighter color doesn’t suit me. Does it?”

            “Well it’s kind of hard to imagine, maybe you should try them on?”

            She went silent for a few seconds and I worried I had said something wrong. Then she turned to me again and said, “Mmk let’s try them on!”

            “Great let me get you a room.”

            I walked to the checkout counter and grabbed a key to one of the dressing rooms. I unlocked in and gestured for her to enter. Once she started going in I started walking away. That’s when she grabbed my arm and said, “W-wait help me. I’m going to need your opinion.”

            I swear I didn’t hear a word she said, all I could hear was my heart beating in my ears. Her hands were so soft holding me and it was as if static electricity when she touched me. She saw my reaction and freed my arm.

            “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to grab you, I just…do you mind giving me your opinion on these jeans?”

            “Ahem,” I said clearing my throat “sure absolutely.” With that she closed the door and I could hear her shuffling around in the dressing room putting on the jeans. Within minutes she opened the door. She didn’t walk out of the room but did a cute twirl in the room ending with a sexy pose.
