Being remembered as the girl who told THE CUPID💘 to go fuck himself is not the legacy I planned to leave behind.
That's another story for another time.
I wasn't a fighter like Khad (don't be fooled I can still kick ass tho) or courageous enough to decide who or what I wanted like Lhae, but ... I was me.
Now,.... let's focus on the issue at hand,
my best friend and I have come a long way to be independent...
We've been traveling a lot since we both left home in hopes of becoming something more....or maybe trying to escape punishment, hurray....but my utmost wish is to live young, wild and free just like that Bruno Mars song.
Ok... Don't mind me.... that's total bullshit but true though.
The thing is ... we actually run away from home and have been on the run since then.
The only person who knew about our plan is my older brother khad and now Kheey my dog, just don't ask me to explain please.. thank you....both of them found out by accident.
It's been fun alright but it's seems we would have to settle down at some point cos,... folks we've run out of cash…. and it's kinda hard and expensive to move from one place to the other..... and surviving without money can be considered brave to some people, but to me, suicidal with a capital S and an L.
Worst case scenario,we drop dead while trekking halfway around the world back to the one place we tryna run from aka (home)....NO, NO,NO, HELL TO THE NO...not happening.
Home is not a bad place trust me, but..i refuse to quit..
I could do the adult thing of finding a decent job for like the 100th time.
"BITCH.... you need to wake up or else you are gonna loose that job....and we will be stuck here forever with no money.. Or.....do you plan on walking back home..... or waiting for a couple of years to be deported,cos I ain't.. "
I would rather volunteer to be kheey's chew toy than to go back there,...... at least I will get paid by his owner and maybe..... get on that boy's good side cos that boy hates my guts.
She said stifling a a yawn.
He wouldn't, if you hadn't devoured his portion of deer we caught that one time we went hunting.
He worked extremely hard and was going to gift it to his mate on their date at the creak.. you ruined that by deciding to be an obsessive meat lover... I would still hate you if I were in his shoes, at least he tolerates you. Deal with it.
Those were fun times.
Are you by any chance a vampire? Just asking. For research and safety purposes.
It's scary sometimes how you love meat.
I asked cautiously, cos that girl is crazy she could attack me any anytime and,......I'm too sexy and young to die.
Let me tell you, I may look tasty, but I'm not all that tasty, just in case you are planning to eat me.
I would advise you don't,..... but I do know a better candidate.
Who else than your crush, your brother's best friend and my darling brother,....
KHADDY boo!!!!.
He's tasty and hot, just the way you like it.
Don't worry, I'm not planning on tasting something foul as you any time soon, my taste buds are too expensive for your ass, feasting on you would be a waste of my time, you and I both know I ain't a vampire.... and about your brother, I don't want to don't wish him dead,...yet.
she said while walking down the stairs.
Lhae and I got a job after a couple of months of searching and good news,..... we found one.
I would still have to go to double check and finalize mine with with the H.R to day.
Lhae here got a job teaching English to Pre-schoolers and I.... decided to do something with the combat skill I learnt from my brother..,
Being forced to wake up at 3:00am to train since I was 11 by my idiot of a brother just because he didn't want boys hitting on me, at least that came in handy.
I think I have to thank that idiot the next time I see him.
I decided to be a bodyguard again…. for the second time.
Shocking right?
Walking out the door, we both went our separate ways wishing each other good luck.
With little time to get to the recruitment centre, I got on the next bus praying I got assigned to a good place cos,
1. I hate working with people who like getting on my nerves by asking unnecessary questions and..
2. People can be mean,nasty and rude, they pay no regards to the question they ask, whether it's offensive or not,they ask questions as if they were talking from their ass and that's to say the least.
I made it just in time to hear the announcement for applicants to divide into their respective groups and to join the queue.
This place wasn't this packed the last time I was here.. and what's with the weird stares?.
This is very uncomfortable. I would really appreciate it If people would just stop staring at me.
We are not here to look at me people.
We are here for much more important stuff like to get the job. so please....so... look away and stay focused. I whisper under my breath.
I'm overwhelmed, this place is packed.
I decided to wait in the queue like everyone else since I myself am an applicant.
About an hour and half later (that seriously felt like eternity), I feel the vibration of my phone only to see it was the HR who interviewed me.
I quickly answered only to hear her displeased voice.
"Hello? Miss Darah, ...it would have been appreciated if you called to let us know if you were no longer interested in the job".
"What in heavens name is she talking about?
I've been sitting in this long damn queue for about an hour and half.”
"I-I- I-"
I tried answering her question on to be stopped by her rant.
"The seat in front of me is still vacant, I was supposed to be meeting you an hour ago according to my schedule". She countered.
On the other hand,where are you?.......
"Please don't tell me you joined the queue?....she asked more to herself.
"What if I told you I did?, I answered nervously.".. I could hear frustrated breaths on the other side of the phone...
" I'm making my way to your office,.. see ya!" I quickly hung up to avoid a scolding.
Walking through the door to her office, I took the vacant seat in front of her and got straight down to business while she scanned through my files.
I left the center 30 minutes later with a job, picking up on the first ring, I hear Lhae squealing on the other side of the device telling me she got the job and how we needed to celebrate tonight.
" So not only did my first day go super well, but I made new friends too, isn't that exciting?"she asked squealing again.
Why the hell is this bitch squealing, in fact, when did she start squealing?
" So I was thinking we could go clubbing , I miss the booze and the company, don't tell me you don't miss it too?."
" I do miss it, but.....can we talk about this when we both get home?
"I'm about to get on the bus.. Talk you later ".
"Okay then, later" she hanged up first like always.
Silly girl.
