OMG SLEEPOVER <3 (Kamillia)

[Alista Sabina Castillo]

(Dated back to Saturday, December 14)

God, the apartment was a mess. A mixture of dirty and clean clothes was strewn everywhere, and a few boxes which hadn't been unpacked sat open on the floor. Between her day job, her night job, and the little sleep she was able to get between those, Alista hadn't had any time to clean it. And now she was having Kam over. Fuck.

Exhausted as she was, she had to make time for Kamillia. In her attempts to make ends meet and have enough left over to send to her family - Carolina was in a bad spot financially, and she wouldn't let her mom and little sister go hungry - she had sacrificed all of her time to the yawning vortex of work. Even when she was tired, sleep had to go by the wayside. There was no way she had had time for friends on top of that. Still, when Kam had called her, she had seemed off somehow - a little less secure, a little more stressed. Alista wasn't exactly the best at comforting people, but she could at least try - and besides, didn't she need this too? She hadn't really spent time with anybody in meatspace for months, only chatting with coworkers and online friends in the few minutes of downtime here and there that she could squeeze out of her two jobs. It would be nice to have some time with someone, so she had made it work. Alista had a precious two days of break to enjoy and reconnect with her old friend.

An enormous yawn split her mouth, and she took another swig of coffee from her thermos. Sure, her apartment was tiny/cheap/pathetic, but she could at least make it not messy. Hopefully. She thought. Fuck, did she really only have thirty minutes??!?!

Well, then. Time to get to work. Her ankle had just barely healed from the last time Kam had seem her, and she would make damn sure not to embarrass herself again in a similar way this time. Heaps of clothing clung to Alista's skin as she moved it into hampers - she would sort it out later. She tackled the boxes, unpacking some things but mostly moving them around to appear more presentable. Hopefully Kam at least wouldn't be early.

Taking a taxi to her best friend’s place, she was going to spend the night. It was something she was completely excited about. She couldn’t wait to talk to Alista about everything that happened. Mostly because she just liked talking to the girl, and she kind of hoped she would give her some advice. Here’s to hoping, because she could really need the advice.

It took her a bit to actually leave the house. There was a lot of things she had to do. She had to walk the dogs, feed and water them, and make sure they had everything they needed before she left them for the night. She also had to make sure her snake, Toph had clean water, that’s pretty much all she needed. Snakes were very easy to take care of. After doing all that, she had to get ready. She put her set of pjs, and clothes for the next day in a bag, as well as make up, face wash, and other things she needed to keep herself clean, and smelling good. Other than that stuff, she put a few xbox and ps games in a separate bag, just some games she thought would be fun to play with Alista; she really wasn’t certain what games the woman already had. She even brought a pack of card (you never know). As well as a deck of ‘cards against humanity’. She also packed her notebook, and a few other things. She also brought her acoustic guitar along with her; because really, where shouldn’t she bring it?

This was a night that she really needed. A night away from boys, her gramps, her sister, and everything else that had been stressing her out lately, she needed this down time. And who better to spend it with than Alista? Which was really why she was so excited; she just really hoped she wasn’t intruding in Alista’s life. Before she would have been confident to say that anyone was glad to have Kam as their friend, now she really wasn’t so sure.

Having arrived on time, not early, but no late either; Kam was good at managing her time. With all her bags slung over her shoulder and her guitar case in hand, she handed the taxi driver his money, then made her way up to Alista’s apparent. Stopping in front of the door that was her best friend’s, she knocked a few times with her free hand.

Strictly speaking, Kam had interrupted the routines that Alista had laid out for herself - but that wasn't anything to hold against her friend when she resented being forced into a routine of 3 parts work to 1 part sleep and little time for anything else. It was a relief to have a reason to interrupt that. Sure, she would have to pick up work over the next few days, but she didn't want to think about that - she just wanted to enjoy the company of her friend for the night and however long Kam wanted to stay the following day before returning to her Gramps' house. Alista really wished she had more time to spend with the girl, it had been too long since they had really seen each other.

Alista glanced periodically at the microwave clock while she frantically threw things in boxes and boxes to the side. Dontbeearlypleasedontbeearly... She didn't want Kamillia to think that she didn't value her company, and was worried that having a ridiculously messy apartment could give off that signal. She didn't think Kam would horribly mind, but still. She fought down a yawn as she shoved the last box under a table - and a knock sounded at the door.

Well, that was good timing. Didn't exactly give her a chance to rest, but she was used to that. Brushing dust off her shirt, she rushed to the door and opened it up. "Hey Kam!" she immediately exclaimed, surprised at just how glad she was to see her friend face-to-face. For a moment the fatigue of the last few weeks just faded, and a wide smile spread across her face. "Whoa, you brought your guitar. Sweet, can I carry anything?"

The redhead never meant to get in-between anything in Alista’s life. Had she known that Alista rarely had free time, she wouldn’t have bothered her at all. She didn’t want to be selfish when it came to the only person that was close to her. Alista meant the world to Kam, and she didn’t want to lose that. With her luck she just might however. Considering every time she thought she was getting close to someone, the just ran away from her… It was all so tiring, and it made her feel like shit. This was downtime they both needed, Kam didn’t even care if they slept the whole time. As long as she was some place outside her home, and with someone who actually might care about her.

Grinning as the door opened, “Hey! I missed you so much!” She was really excited to be having this sleepover. The only sleepovers she really had was when, well when she was sleeping with a guy. This made her sound either slutty, or antisocial… Maybe even both, maybe she was both… Lately she had been thinking over her personality and her actions. She came to realize she was antisocial, and a slut, which didn’t make her feel any better about herself. “Yeah, I hope that was alright. And I think I got everything.” She scratched the back of her head, awkwardly standing there waiting to be invited in. “How have you been? I’m so glad we could do this.”
