"You need a job? No offend but you look too young to work" she said. You explain to her that you are 16 years old so it is legal for you to work, and you really need a job to start saving money for college tuition. "But what about your school?" She asked.
"I can work every weekend ma'am", you tried to convince her.
She had long paused thinking of the possibility and then she said, "ok, you can work here every weekend, Mary is gonna work here during the weekday so you can fill her place when she is off duty".
"Oh my god thank you so much ma'am" you shook her hand passionately and she gave you her genuine big smile.
You hear a car parking in front of the house, a minute later, someone open the front door, you saw a tall and handsome guy in a white t-shirt and a blue jeans went inside the house and said politely "mom, i'm home".
He can see his mom from the foyer, "Hi erik" she smiled to him, he then come straight to the den and kiss her on the cheek "wow it's already arranged, you did a great job mom" he looks around.
You just stood there froze, watching them. Then Mrs. Menendez remember that you were still there, she turn her glance at you and introduce you. "Erik, this is magnolia, she will be our house maid every weekend, be nice to her okay".
You couldn't stop gazing him until he take initiative to reach out your hand, said "Nice to meet you" and smiled, he is full of confidence, kind of ostentitious yet well liked. You lost your words and can only shook his hand and smile back, you swear to yourself that his smile was the sweetest smile you've ever seen in your life.
His hand was warm, kind of wet and his grip is so firm like he was holding a tennis racket, you and him shakes hands for quite long before Mrs. Menendez clear her throat and talk to you, "okay, i guess i'll see you next week, magno".
Thank god you were still able to catch the last bus and head home safely, it was a real tiring day but you were so glad that you've found a job.
