Sleeping at Sleepy's

"I swear to fucking God Dinah if you try to make me go with you to that-"

"Chill out Mila damn, I just need help picking out a new mattress for once I move in with Mani," Dinah cuts in as she finesses into the parking lot of the mall that Camila's been taken to in the false claim of Dinah wanting to buy her dinner at Chipotle. Camila should've known there would be a catch.

"Fine but I got a solid hour of sleep, if even that much, last night so don't expect my feedback to be helpful, I'm going to find every mattress ten times more comfortable than it is," Camila replies as she unbuckles her seatbelt and pushes her sunglasses up on her nose so the sunlight won't make her feel dizzy again.

She'd been up all night writing an essay on the French Revolution and the effects on the rest of Europe and blah blah blah she doesn't remember the half of it, only that she had to turn it in by the class at eight o'clock in the morning. She's finished the essay at roughly half past six, quickly proofread it, and fallen asleep with her head on the desk, only waking up about twenty minutes later when her wheely chair slipped further back and her body flew forward since the desk was no longer there to hold her up.

"Now Mila we only have an hour so we're gonna lie on as many as these bad boys as we can okay?" Dinah says as they finally make it to the large, two story Sleepy's in one end of the mall and walk towards the first set up, king beds.

"Dinah no offence or anything but king beds? You aren't going to be able to afford this no matter how comfortable it is," Camila protests after about twenty minutes of watching Dinah roll around to test out the bed. She's tied them too but she's afraid if she lies down for more than a minute she'll fall asleep so she's been bouncing back up.

"Let me live out my dreams Chancho okay? If I want to pretend I'm able to treat myself I will pretend I'm able to treat myself now you shut your mouth."

Camila rolls her eyes and opens her mouth to argue back but she catches sight of something that makes her stop in her tracks. A light grey fuzzy blanket covering a twin sized bed, which may be small but woah that looks comfy. She can't stop herself from wandering over towards it and is almost close enough to jump in and block the world out when she's cut off by a group of kids running by.

"Damn kids," Camila mumbles as they beat her to the bed and hop in, messing up the set up and getting their dirty shoes all over it. She's about to yell at them because she's lacking sleep and that's so rude, what type of parents let their kids act like that in a store? Singlehandedly elongating the jobs of a few people and ruining products. Before she can yell though someone else cuts in and now her heart stops more than it did when she saw the fuzzy blanket.

She's probably Camila's age. Jet black hair, green eyes Camila can see glistening from feet away. She's scolding the kids, but not in a mean way, just telling them to move and to find their parents but they don't look scared, they look like they just talked to an angel and Camila's pretty sure they did.

She watches as the mystery worker runs a hand through her hair in frustration once the kids are gone and begins folding. She watches as she tugs one of the sheets off the bed and goes to redo it since the kids had kicked it out of place, she's going to watch her as she fixes the pillows to but Dinah chooses then to walk up and pinch her side making her yelp in shock and green eyes turns their way, locking eyes for a minute then going back to work.

It happens like two more times. Camila will spot the beautiful worker, get lost in staring at her then Dinah will drop something or roll of a bed and scream and the employee will catch her eyes and smirk before turning back to work as Camila scrambles to not blush and to help Dinah.

Finally Dinah starts looking at more realistically sized mattresses and they end up oer with queen sized and full. Camila didn't mean to lie down for over a minute but she honestly couldn't help herself at this point and it's not like Dinah actually needs her help so when Dinah gets up she doesn't bother following.
