An Attempt on Flirting

I was in a hair salon with my Grandma and she was getting her hair done. She told me to go around and look for the lipgloss she bought before. The area was like one big department store with shelves in the middle showing different branded items then on the side of the walls there were different services offered like the hair salon, nail salon, massage spa, etc. It was all in an open space. I walked around, looking for a store that sells lipgloss. I even went outside the store but I didn't go far since I wasn't familiar with the place. I went back inside and looked again but the items sold there were more of fashion than cosmetics. I approached one of the sales clerk and asked her if there are any shops around that sells lipgloss but she said no. I thanked her and was ready to go when she suddenly corrected my pronunciation. She kept on repeating the word as I continued to fail and thought who is she to teach me like this. When I finally got it right, I have just walked a few steps away when I looked back and thought that the lady was actually pretty and how I was suddenly attracted to her. My heart was racing as I approached and attempted to talk to her. I don't remember what I did/said but I think I heard her say, "So what are we gonna do now?" She then mentioned that she just got back from South Korea a month ago so I asked her for how long was she there since Covid-19 happened and all. We sat next to each other on one of the sofas there as the conversed. Time passed and she was growing tired because of work so she rested her head on my shoulder as we talked more before she dozed off. My heart was already racing and now it just took off. I realized then that we haven't actually introduced ourselves to each other so I looked for her ID while trying not to wake her up. The ID was clipped on her uniform and I just noticed that it unbottoned halfway so her skin was showing. I couldn't button it up since half of her body was now resting on me and I didn't want to wake her up. I still couldn't read her name nametag when I remembered that my grandma was probably waiting for me from the other side of the store.
