Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN FROZEN
Another plain day in California. Random street sounds can be heard all over. Sun is smiling above the horizon, signaling the start of everyone's day.
She rubs the sleep in her eyes. Adjusting on the morning light coming from her blinds. It's 8:00 in the morning which she knew that she will be running late for work again and yet the gravity of her bed is more powerful. Ignoring the alarm, she let out a groan. "If only I can live with lots of money without working, I would be happier." she lazily said. But knowing that she doesn't have any other choice, she pulled herself up from the covers and she let out a very tired yawn. "But on the other hand, I don't have a choice. So, darn it. "
Anna's POV
Sometimes my alarm can be so annoying. Well, not 'Sometimes' but always. Ruining my lovely dream about unicorns jumping over the rainbow. Okay, that sounds so childish but who cares? Despite my age, I still do childish things. 20 isn't a bad age for doing things that makes you happy. Right?
My name is Anna Lair. I'm working at a Disney Store for a living. I really enjoy working there but sometimes I'm just so lazy to get up. I don't have any complaints against the store anyways. It has a good salary, nice people, a hassle-free job, and you have free access to Disneyland. How's that? Sounds great, right? Hell yeah, it does.
I grew up watching Disney cartoons. It's my main source of happiness up until now. After I graduated from High School, I applied right away hoping that it will turn out fine and it does. I'm working at the store for almost a year already and I don't have any regrets.
A morning ride is always a hassle because you need to deal with everyday traffic. Angry riders, angry citizens blowing up their horns violently, Gods. Can I have a flying carpet here so I can be away with this mess?
As the traffic eased already, I drive fast as I could. It's 8:45 am and my shift will start at 9 am. I blame my bed for this, damn it.
As I reached the parking lot, I parked my car and I quickly fixed my wavy auburn hair into a ponytail and put light make up so I can make myself look presentable (At least). I grab my backpack and get myself out of my car and I make sure that I locked it.
I run towards the entrance of the store and I was greeted by the entrance guard. I quickly run to the back office so I can put my things inside the lockers. It's 8:55 am and I'm so damn lucky that I made it.
"Running 'almost' late, huh?"
I shook my head as I heard a familiar voice. I let out a sigh before speaking. "Yeah, dud. Almost." he tapped my shoulder with a smirk on his face before grabbing me into a headlock. Seriously, this morning greeting from my best friend is the worst.
"Damn it, Kristoff! Can you please stop doing that? You're twice bigger than me! Have mercy. I suffer from your grip man."
"What? Isn't that our traditional greeting?" he said as he let out a chuckle.
Kristoff Norman. My only best friend since middle school. He has blond hair, 6ft. Tall, fair skin, average muscular body build and a pretty charming face. He always got my back whenever I get into trouble. He applied here after knowing that I got hired. I guess he's just so lucky that he got hired as well. It's a good thing that I have my best friend here with me though. I don't have a lot of friends. I'm just a plain girl who loves Disney. I didn't have any lovers as well. I'm a big loser for that category but I don't care. Someday my Prince will come (heh, I'm sorry, Snow white.) Kristoff, on the other hand, is a lucky man. A lot of girls in high school used to have a crush on him. He's a sweet guy, humble even. Despite his charming looks. He is also an athlete, he used to be part of the football team back then that's why he is a lady catcher. He's famous but he still stays by my side. He never left me behind despite that fame. He stays low-key, which I am grateful for. But we never had any romantic feelings for each other. Okay? We're just super best friends.
"Norman, Lair, settle yourselves now and start to work." Our store manager called us out. Kristoff and I bumped our fists together as we fixed our uniforms and we start with our daily tasks.
There are few people visiting the shop right now. Not too crowded, which is kinda good. For us, at least. I'm currently unpacking all the new arrival items that arrived yesterday. And putting it to their respective shelves. Kristoff, on the other hand, is currently entertaining a customer who shows interest in our Monster Inc. Stuff dolls. Kristoff is pretty good at sales talking, which I envy the most because I'm just an average employee here who doesn't do a lot of sales talk but well, It's fine. At least I'm not a trouble maker. I may look like one, but trust me, I'm not.
After unpacking the first 3 boxes of new items, I dusted my hands off and Kristoff offered me help.
"Hey, dork. Hand me those empty boxes. I'll return it to the stockroom. Assist the customer over there, will ya?" I pass him the empty boxes before giving him a nod. He turned on his heels while carrying the boxes. I scooted myself closer to the customer who shows interest in our Disney princess doll collection.
"Hi. How may I help you, Ma'am ?"
I showed my brightest smile as the customer turned her attention to me.
God freaking damn it. I don't know if this person is real, or am I just watching too many fantasies. This woman looks like she literally came out from a fairytale book. She has long wavy blonde hair, bright blue eyes, perfectly shaped lips, heart-shaped pretty face, pink-tinted cheeks, fair white skin. I'm starting to think that maybe she is a princess in her past life? Well, that doesn't sound so impossible actually. Maybe she is. Okay, I sound stupid.
"Uh, yeah. I just want to inquire about these dolls. I'm collecting a set of them."
The woman said with a slight smile on her face. I'm still a bit fazed by her undeniable beauty. I shook my thoughts off because I need to do my job here.
"Sure, Ma'am. These are limited edition Disney princess dolls. We can actually give a discount when you purchased a set of 8." I said while slightly pointing at the dolls that were neatly settled on the upper shelves. I really don't do sales talk a lot. I'm having a little anxiety attack whenever I do but this is also a part of my job so I need to overcome it at little by little.
The lady is now on her thoughts. I wonder if she's now convinced? Am I a good sales talker now? Heck. Cheer to me.
She blinked multiple times while tapping her chin with her forefinger.
"I'll get the set of 8 by next week maybe. I'm glad that you have these items."
She turned her gaze on me which surprises me a little. What the heck is wrong with me?
"Oh, sure ma'am. No problem. Do you need any other help?"
"Actually, I'm new here in this place. I'm so glad that I found this store. Maybe this will be my new regular store." she beamed me a bright smile and letting out a soft chuckle. I, on the other side, is internally screaming.
"Oh wow, that's good to know. Well, our store is pretty famous. A children's zone also, haha. Who doesn't love Disney anyways?"
"Maybe the evil people?" she let out a laugh while walking on the other side of the aisle where we're in. I followed her behind with this goofy smile on my face.
this time I let out a laugh. I can't believe that I'm having a casual conversation with a customer for the first time.
"So, how long have you been working here?" she turned her attention to me once again.
"Almost a year now. I'm loving my job here actually. Being a Disnerd working on a Disney Store? That's a dream work for me."
"Right, right. Oh well, I need to go now. Thank you for your assistance, A..nna?"
She scooted closer to read my nameplate that was attached to my uniform before giving me a small smile. I smiled back and waved at her as she walks towards the exit door.
"Thank you! Come again!"
Woah, that was.. Amazing? I really did had a casual conversation with a customer? Not to mention a 'princess-like beauty' of a customer?
I can say that she's the most beautiful woman that I've seen in my entire life. I wonder if she will visit our store tomorrow?
