Chapter 10

"Yes, this is her," I confusingly stated. 

"Hi, this is Patsy Patterson with iFit. We were wondering if you were free Friday at 6 pm for an interview." I jumped out of my skin when I heard that. I get out of my bed and start happy dancing. I checked my calendar. "Yes, I'm available," I said holding back my excitement.

"Great, we'll see you Friday at 6."

"Thank you so much," I said smiling.

"You're welcome bye for now," she said hanging up. I immediately ran into Robby's room.

"Robby, guess what!" I asked happy dancing in his room.

"What Jul," he stated looking at his fish.

"I got a job," I exclaimed. He gets up and starts dancing with me. "Well, not yet, but I know I'll get it."

"Yes, Jul, then you buy me fish," he said, returning to his lonely fish.

"Yes, Robby, and we'll go to the movies, buy you Spiderman plus get our birthday gifts."

"About time you got a job I thought I'd be the first one. At the paste, you were going." I slammed Robbys' door in her face and decided to play with Robby while we let our imagination free.

Luckily Friday arrived quicker than I thought. I nailed the interview with Patsy.  She seems really cool to work with. After working and busting my butt for several months and busing tables for tips I managed to have enough saved up so that I could finally go buy my first car!

"Hurry, Jul," yelled Robby grabbing me off my bed. We head out to the van as Dad locks the door. "Bye Bye Fishy," Robby yelled as we left the driveway. Shelley likes Bob, Jul. Thank you for fish," he told me while giving me a hug.

"You're very welcome, Robby," I said looking out the window anxiously waiting to pull into the car lot.

"Now Juliette, you need to find a good car for you and something you can afford," says father. "Can you believe it, Linda, our baby girl is getting her first car." Mother leans over the seat and snaps a picture with the camera. We finally arrived at the car lot. I jump out of the van like a kid in the candy shop. As I could see rows and rows of cars.

"This is the one you'll like," said Libby pointing to a 1998 Honda accord with two different colors paints.

"Not even you can ruin this moment, Libby." I searched rows and rows of cars and none seem to meet my needs or my budget. Then all of a sudden I look to my right and see Robby staring at a car. I walk over to see where he was looking and it was like heaven opened up and rays of light shined down onto a red 2007 Food Mustang with black seats.

"God said you like it," Robby told me with a smile. I give him a huge hug and try to flag down the salesman. He sees me waving and makes his way over to us.

"Oh, this beauty is a great choice. Unfortunately, this is out of your budget," I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders.

"Okay thank you," I signed. Dad pulls the salesman to the side and talks with him as I admired the car I thought was perfect for me.

"Actually today is your lucky day. This car is in your budget. Let's get the paperwork started," he stated heading back to the main office. Mom and Dad were so proud of Robby for feeling the good deals the Lord provides more than me actually purchasing a car. In the end his celebration is mine as well. I'll take it.
