I haven't really slept since my last post two days ago. Life needs to slow the fuck down for a couple days when I have them off, please.

So, I went into work that morning and saw that Jessica wasn't in until later. I stuck around, took Krissy for breakfast, took my mother to her doctor appointment, and killed an hour before I went back to work so I could leave with Krissy.
But before I came in, I made sure to look a bit... different. Jeans, button up shirt, hair down. I lingered at Returns where Krissy was because I was stressing and feeling queasy.
I saw Jessica. And she goes, "Look at you! Those don't look like your work clothes."
I made a face and laughed and told her, "Well, I'm not working. I'm waiting for Krissy."
She goes into Returns to do some reciept audit thing, and there's this weird conversation happening, where I'm just really tense, and I'm joking with both of them. As in, I can't remember what I said, how I said anything, except she was teasing me and I was teasing back. I just remember at one point I'm pretty sure she saw me looking at her out of her peripheral and smirked.
I managed to ask her out for a drink with a couple of us. She's staring at her clipboard and smiling a little, and she's talking low, "I caaaaaan't. I've been working here two weeks and you're already trying to get me fired."
She moved to leave the area, and the gate is wooden. It's been ridiculously humid for a good month now, and the gate swells so you have to force it. I shut it right as she was trying to leave and move past me, since I'm on the other side. I let it go after a few seconds and kinda knee it to jar it open, because like I said, it's swollen.
It whacks her in the hand.
And I'm horrified, and apologizing, because she's making a pained face. I call her back over but she's laughing and shaking her head, talking some shit, about how she thought of me so highly, but now it's lowered. She's holding her hand at hip level. And I just blurt, because I'm mildly retarded when it comes to communicating with her, that it's a convienient height. THE BLUSH SHE HAD, PEOPLE.
And then she disappears into the back office and I'm mentally kicking my ass.
So I go to Krissy's and Alicia comes too, killing a couple hours before we have to leave for a small party. We decide that we need to swing by work again when we pick up Kerri.
I walk in the door and she's right. the. fuck. there. I whistle (not a wolf whistle) and she turns around. Alicia walks in to go buy her rolodex (wtf, lol) while Krissy lingers at the entrance to talk to one of our friends who is working.
Basically I'm left waiting for Alicia and I'm completely beside myself, freaking out a bit. Krissy grabs a piece of paper, writes my number on it, and talks to Jessica off to the side. And this is where I had to have Krissy tell me what happened.
Apparently Krissy handed her my number and says, "Call me." But Jessica says, "Is this your number?"
Krissy gets sarcastic and goes, "Guess who."
Jessica asks her who I'm crushing on (!!!). Krissy basically said, "Guess who," again.
I start walking to the door where they are and they separate, and I'm like a deer in the headlights. Because Jessica is looking RIGHT AT ME and smirking.
FFFFFFFFFFFF.
The rest of the night, I'm fucking freaking out in my head, while trying to enjoy a party.
And I hear nothing from her. Until 11:30pm.
I gave her my number again, and that's been it so far. She was off today and she's off tomorrow.
Friday, please.
Honestly, I can't tell if she is into me. Alicia and Krissy say she definitely is. But they also thought she would call me last night, so who knows.
I just know that I'm wicked sprung. I want to get to know her better.
