Right let's get dressed up all nicely for my sort of interview with Mrs Morgan today. Not too fancy, but not my usual scruffy self. I put on a white t-shirt with some black pants, some little nice boots and put on a bit of makeup so I look somewhat presentable. Let's go!!!
Their house is massive that's a good sign as it means they might offer me some good money, but it also means they are probably a lot fancier than me... Maybe I should of worn a nicer outfit and put my hair into a nice ponytail instead of it all just flowing down... oh well, too late now as I've already knocked the door.
"Hello there, you must be Sarah" Mrs Morgan says to me
"Hey, yeah that's me. You must be Mrs Morgan" I respond all smiley
"Yes. Please come on in"
Mrs Morgan ushers me into their living room and there is a man sat on the sofa.
"Hey, I'm Mr Morgan" he says
"Hi, I'm Sarah" I respond.
"Please take a seat" Mrs Morgan says as she points to a sofa.
"Your house is really nice" I say whilst looking at all the stuff they have in their living room.
"Thank you. Now please tell us a bit about yourself Sarah" Mrs Morgan asks.
Oh dear I'm not good at stuff like this, well I will give it my best shot.
"Well I'm Sarah and I'm 18 years old. I live in an apartment by myself and in the morning to the afternoon I work in a little cafe" I say to them, hoping that's enough
"Wow. Our son is 18 as well! So you could make a friend" Mr Morgan says
They already have a son able to look after himself, so why the hell do they want a babysitter for?
"Yes we have a son who is 18 and a daughter who is 9" Mrs Morgan says
"If you don't mind me asking, why isn't your son able to look after his little sister?" I ask
"Well... we use to let him look after her, but something happened and he just isn't responsible enough to look after her now."
"Oh right, what a shame"
"Now with this job we will only need you to work on Fridays and maybe the odd Saturday, but we will let you know in advance if we need you for a Saturday and of course if you are too busy let us know"
"Do you do a lot together on Fridays then?"
"Yeah, we always like to do something and go somewhere fun" Mrs Morgan says whislt giggling.
"Now price wise it will be cash in hand and every hour will be $7" Mr Morgan says to me.
That sounds alright to me, with my cafe money and then this extra bit, I can't complain
"That sounds great. How many hours would I do?" I ask
"Usually we are gone for about three to sometimes five hours depends on what we are doing" Mrs Morgan says
"Are you interested?" Mr Morgan says
"Yeah. It sounds great" I say.
"Now our son is currently out, but I can get you to meet our daughter, Jane." Mrs Morgan says.
"Sure" I say.
"JANE!" Mr Morgan shouts.
I can hear very fast running coming down their stairs.
"Jane this is your new babysitter" Mrs Morgan says.
"Hi!" Jane says
I don't know what to do? I'm not good with meeting adults, let alone kids.
"Hi... ummm... I'm Sarah" as I stand up and shake her hand.
"Do you like dancing Sarah?" Jane asks me with a massive smile on her face.
"I'm not the best dancer" I respond
"Great! That means I can teach you tomorrow on Friday!"
"Yep, of course"
"MOM, DAD I'M HOME" a voice shouts coming from the front door. Hang on a second... I know that voice
"WE ARE IN HERE ETHAN!" Mrs Morgan shouts.
Holy shit! It's Ethan!!! Oh no! Maybe I should leave and reject this job or maybe I should just not turn up or maybe I should...
"This is going to be our babysitter Ethan!" Jane says cutting me off my mind panicking.
Ethan is stumped and looks in shock to see me in his living room.
"Earth to Ethan!" Mrs Morgan snaps at him
"He... hello" Ethan stumbles out
"Hi" I awkwardly says back
"Ethan this is Sarah" Mr Morgan says
"Yeah. I sort of know her" Ethan says
"How?" Mrs Morgan asks
"I saw her at Lotta Latte the other day" Ethan says.
God the vibe in here has gone so awkward. I don't know what to say or to do? I think I just need to leave.
"Right. Well thank you so much for this job opportunity, I do have to go to work in the cafe in a bit so I guess I should just leave" I say, which is a lie as today is my day off.
"Of course" Mrs Morgan says as she stands up and guides me to their door. "So we will text you details about tomorrow and times and stuff"
"Yep. Sounds great for me" I say as I quickly leave the house.
I literally wanted to stay away from him as he saw me fight some guy and asked way to many questions and now I'm babysitting him tomorrow evening. Good job Sarah!
I head back to my apartment and my phone starts flashing up with notifications. Wait what a text from an unknown number?
The text says: "Hey it's me, Ethan, my mom thought you should have my number in case"
Shit! Now he has my number, I have to reply or else tomorrow will be even more awkward.
I write: "Hi. Thanks"
Well what else am I going to write? My phone lights up again and it's Ethan texting me again
The text says: "My mom would like you to work tomorrow 8pm - 11pm, if that's alright?"
I write back with: "Yeah that's all good. Thanks"
Let's hope that's it for texting and I don't want that to become a thing where we text each other every night and become "besties" as the girls call it nowadays.
I get in my shower and once that's done get into some comfy pjs and watch Slashers Valley 3 on my TV.
