I was laying in bed, chilling on my phone, suddenly my mom barged into the room.
"Oh wow Annalise." My mom stared at me blankly. She only calls me that when she's serious about something.
"Uhm.. mom.. how can I help you?" I reply back to her with a smile on my face.
"What are we going to do about you getting a job? You're god damn 19. Just because we have money and you go to a good university doesn't mean you will just sit all day and do nothing. You have to be more responsible Anna." My mom said looking at me with a frown.
"Mom.. I tried babysitting before, working in a shop, and even volunteering in community services. They just don't seem to work! These places aren't meant for me!" I said while looking at her. She sat beside me, and said,
"Honey.. just because that kid vomited at you doesn't mean you can not babysit anymore! I know how much you love kids and you know how much they love you. Please.. try once again. At least, for me.." I looked at her and nodded. I took my phone once again, turned it on, I reinstalled the babysitting app, and logged into it.
"Mom, what time should I apply for.." I looked at my mom while she smiled creepily.
"All day!" My mom said happily while I looked at her shocked, "It's not like you have anything else to do."
She was right.. I am on summer vacation which meant I would just lay my ass on this bed all day. So I applied for babysitting for a full day. Once I applied for it, I turned to my mom and informed her. When suddenly a buzz from my phone came. We both looked at the screen, the notification saying, "Antonio Alvaro has successfully booked a spot for tomorrow..." I personally thought it would take a couple of days for someone to book me hence why I was chill about it. My mom looked at me with glowing eyes and said,
"How amazing! Since it's late I'll let you sleep, so that you could wake up early tomorrow and get ready for your new job!!"
She gave me a peck on my forehead and stormed off my room. Seriously mom.. late!? It's only 8pm. While I was still in state of shock, I heard another buzz coming out from my phone. This time it was from Antonio.. I opened my phone to see a text message from him.
Antonio: "Hey Ms. Annalise,
My name is Antonio Alvaro. I booked a spot with you for tomorrow in attempt for you to babysit my three years old son, Alessandro. Almost everyone that has babysat him said he was a tough one.. I am really hopeful that you can get him to love you as it's written in your bio that you love kids and kids love you back. I will leave off to work at 7 am and return him around 11 pm. I will pay you $500 dollars by the end of the day.
Thanks you so much for your time.
Best regards,
Antonio Alvaro."
I sighed as I read his very long message. I guess I'll have to sleep early then, what a long day it'll be tomorrow..
