Gail liked opening the cafe, sure the hour really sucked but it was quiet and peaceful and she got the place to herself for just a few hours. She opened the doors with her key and made sure the sign didn't flip to open with the gust of wind. Taking a deep breath of the smell of fresh pastries and coffee beans she flipped on the lights, and she was met with something she thought she'd never see. Someone was there, sleeping under a table littered with books and loose papers.
Gail took a moment to look over the person, a woman with long dark wavy hair, skewed glasses, a puddle of drool at the side of her mouth, and all she could think about was how adorable this person was. She didn't want to disturb the student so she did her regular routine as quietly as possible. She made herself a coffee, ate and drank as she went over inventory, wiped off the counters and checked that all of the machines were clean. All too soon it came time to open up, she'd pushed it back five extra minutes to give the brunette more time to sleep, but she had to open the doors and start the day. Which was also the time Gail usually swept.
She got out the broom and began sweeping, taking down chairs as she went, amazed at how the woman hadn't woken up with all the noise. It wasn't long before she reached her little table in the back, she swept awkwardly around the heavy sleeper, an amused smile playing on her lips. When suddenly the brunette's eyes fluttered open, and she jumped back startled.
"Whoa, sorry."
She rubbed at her eyes and brought her glasses down to sit on the bridge of her nose. "What is." The brunette croaked out, voice heavy with sleep, and gestured around in a vague way of asking where she was.
"You seem to have fallen asleep in a cafe, and stayed the night on the floor. Which I am sweeping." Gail explained with a small smile.
"Oh." She whispered
"I'm Gail."
The brunette sat up and looked Gail over. "Holly."
"Want some coffee, Holly? It's on the house."
Holly smiled lazily and nodded. "Two sugar."
