Dress shopping on a dare

Date: 5/2/2016

I was with my landlord for whom I have an unreciprocated crush on. We were in a big, cheap looking, sort of run-down shop that sold dresses mostly, looking for something to buy as a joke, possibly for a fancy dress party, but we were in the shop almost as a dare so we pretended to be serious with the staff but we were basically pointing and laughing at what looked like the worst dresses ever made when we were sure no one was looking at us. There's a very helpful shop assistant that tries to hep us and we kinda cruelly led her on for a while and I try some monstrosity at a certain point that leave us in stitches anytime I come back from the dressing room. Surprisingly there is also something that doesn't suck, like two 50's polka dot dresses, one sea-foam green and one a kind of muted pink that I mention are cute. We stay in the shop for so long that eventually they're preparing to close and we end up taking a couple of terrible things, I think, and we approach the till, shaking with laughters all the while, and I see he got the two cute ones as well. We go out and when I ask who those two dresses are for he said that they were both for me since he didn't get me anything for my birthday (which strikes me as odd because it's not true but I decide not to question this too much). I say I have to try them on before we go too far from the shop, in case they don't fit and we have to get them back, and I have to do it now because the shop was either in a very far town or in a part of a city I'd never go by myself, so I say I will try them in a public toilet that I know is close to the bus stop, that now looks like the city I grew up in instead of where I'm living now. We get close to this public toilet and then I suddenly wake up in the middle of the night.
