It's a gloomy day in South London. The rain, the people, it's like everyone here is dead.
I've only been here for a day and it seems like I won't like it. To think that this is how I want my life to be is ludicrous!
"Excuse me ma'am?"
I get out of my thoughts as I realize the customer I'm currently serving is done ordering. "Yes would that be all?"
She looks at the menu one last time before nodding. "Okay your food should be out in the next 10 minutes"
She nods and I turn to go to the kitchen. As I'm going to make my way to place the order I almost bump into another server. I quickly apologized and kept making my way to the kitchen.
The chef takes a peep at the order and quickly starts to prepare the meal, I check the clock and start counting to make sure he's done in exactly 10mins. After I serve this lady it'll be time to clock out.
This is my first job here since I moved to London. I actually got a job transfer to work for this company as a esthetician. But until they get my paperwork together I had to find something temporary. I sigh and check at the clock & as if he read my mind the chef finishes his touches and hands me the plate.
I grab it, thank him and make my way back to the lady.
"Here's your meal, I hope you enjoy and have a great night" I said with a smile.
The lady thanks me and starts eating. I go around to empty tables and gather all the food plates and other things that are left behind. Double checking to make sure that I grabbed everything I make my way to the kitchen and place the dishes in the sink for the dishwasher to wash them.
It's late, I'm tired and need to get home asap. I tell everyone good night and finally clock out.

I finally make it home and it's a little past 1am. I waste no time getting into the shower and washing off the days stress.
After turning the shower on, I turn on my speaker and put on my shower playlist. I fully undress and check myself in the mirror before stepping in.
The warm water caresses my body and I sigh with relief. I grab my loofah after fully submerging myself into the water and add my coconut body wash and start scrubbing my body.
I hum along to the music making sure I'm scrubbing all the areas and making myself clean.
I get my facial soap and start to wash my face and neck, I wipe the soap off using a different clean rag. My music pauses as I realize it's my phone ringing.
"Incoming Call from Angie ♡︎"
"Oh shit this must be them telling me about my paperwork"
I quickly wash myself off and answer the phone.
"Tiara Hey my love are you busy?"
"Hey Angie! And not even I'm just getting out the shower what's up?"
"Well Let me just congratulate you on your own shop! Your paperwork was cleared and you start tomorrow!"
I sit on the toilet and sigh with relief, this is just the highlight I needed to make my night better. I'm officially pursuing my dream.
"Omg that's great news thank you so much Ang I couldn't have done it without you and the teams help"
"Ofc course My love, I'm so excited for you. I don't want to keep you up to late. So I will call and check on you in the morning"
We say our goodbyes and hang up. Smiling from ear to ear I finish my hygiene and go to my room.
I place my hair into a bonnet and dim the lights to get ready for bed. I turn on Netflix and put on YOU since the last season just came out and I refuse to miss out.
Tomorrow is finally the start of my beginning.
