Filly & Nubile (Completed)

4| Patron Saint

From my small teaching and daycare business, I make the minimum weekly until month ends as I get my payslip from the government.

In all, the regular payment is around $30,700 and seven thousand is given to the driver of the mini bus so I'll end up with $23,750 for myself.

On slow days, I'll make around $22,550 and the same payment is taken from it and I'll have around $15,550. Sometimes it's less but I'm glad for the little.

My favourite week consists of exams, parents busy schedules, special classes and more kids coming in for the daycare. The least I make then is $31,900 and the most is $37,900. The driver knows this and takes the same $7,000 from the least that I make, then I'll have $24,900. During the holidays I made the most and he request a good $9,000 and I'm left with $28,900. He's even disrespectful most times as he wants around ten instead of the basic seven and I was only being generous to give him the seven thousand. I have to walk to work and wait for him to have his early dinner before he can come to the school and pick us up for the fifteen to twenty minutes drive. His excuse was the bad roads and that I'm doing it for the charter service.

"I swear that one of these days I'll stop supporting him. He came looking and smelling like a drunk today and was late then he expects me to pay him the full seven thousand dollars cash. This is a slow week and I made only nineteen thousand, five hundred and he got his money today. I have twelve thousand, five hundred to use for the upcoming weeks added with my little savings. I'm so done with JuJu. Lee Lee, I don't know how I'm going to do it but this week is the last I'm putting up with his greedy, drunken behaviour. The only reason that brute had a job was because of Mama and he couldn't charge her that much. Mih look like dih idiot, don't?" I complained to my best friend over the phone.

'I know I'm stupid for doing this.'

"Seven thousand dollars, Kitty? Are you crazy or something?" She screeched with disbelief and anger.

"Lee Lee, mih just too kind fih mih own good. The only reason mih did start give him that amount was because him dih have the likkle accident but the brute better now and don't wah mih lower the price back to the four thousand dollars." I added and she scoffed.

'Lee Lee, I'm just too kind and I always want to help. I gave him such amount due to an accident he had previously but the fool/brute had gotten better. He refused when I consider bringing the price were it was before, the original four thousand dollars.'

"It still too much fih such short journey... Shit!" She went from being considerate to alarmed. "Dih professor come in, later mih gyal."

'You're cheating or ripping off yourself for that short journey of traveling... I'm in trouble!'

'My professor just arrived to our lecture, I'll talk to you later my friend."

I told her 'later' and hung up while I leaned backwards on the bed as I was seated on my bedroom floor. I didn't know whether to cry or scream but before I could decide, there was a knock on my door. I forgot I left it half opened as I've started getting use to having someone else here than us women.

Stephen was there looking worried so I looked up at him.

"I'm sorry and I don't mean to intrude but I overheard what you've said and saw what happened today. I have no problem with helping you out, not only for your sake and Mama Louise, but for the kids too. I'll handle all the transport and the finance that comes with it, I promise. It's the least I can do, please." He proposed and I sighed then shrugged my shoulders.

"If you want to, then sure." I agreed and he grinned happily.

"Thanks, kitty. You won't regret it." He said before leaving and he closed the door behind him while I was left confused as I scratched my head.
