My beautiful slumber was interrupted by my awful ringtone!! Gosh...why did I ever agree to Gina into putting a country song as my ringtone? Now I am to endure the consequences of being an idiot.
I shot up on my elbows and yanked my phone from the night stand and picked up ready to share my mind with the sleep terminator! "What do you want,hah!? Can't u leave me in peace? Don't you have a life to live?"

"Excuse me,am sorry for ruining your sleep." A gentle voice spoke back. My cheeks burnt in embarrassment. "Can I talk to Ms. Hamilton?"
"Well....uhhmm...this is her...little sister. She left early. Who is speaking?" Lying had become my habit. I had no siblings.

"This is Ms. Tina from SH company. Do you know how I can directly contact her?"
"Well, this is her cell phone. You can gimme the message. I'll be sure to deliver it."
"Ok,please tell her that she has passed the interview."
Ofcoarse I know that. I mentally rolled my eyes. "Tell her to report at the firm by 9am."
I looked at the wall clock in my room with a Winnie the pooh theme,it read 7:45am. I have been in this room for like all my life that is 22years! I have no plans of changing anything except my mattress and bed....I GROW TALL,OK? Plus,the bed wetting issue when I was 7 still has impacts.

"Sure will do!" I yanked my body off the bed and walked to my closet and opened it.
"And without delay. We can always change our minds if she delays."
Fuck you Tina.
"Sure. In fact,I will look for her right now and share this piece of incredible news!"
"That will do. Ok then. Have a merry day...Ms. Hamilton." She said with a chuckle.
"Huh?" Did she know it's me.
"You are her little sister, right?"
"Oow right." I felt so stupid. "Yeah." So either end this convo fast enough or commit a mistake. I just happen to talk a lot and 90% of it is trash. "So Ms. Tina...have a nice day too." Then I quickly hang up.

"Ok Rosa,let's cause a tornado in this wardrobe. Fucking Tina will be so surprised that she won't know what really hit her!" I smirked in satisfaction.

But before I turned my closet upside down to get THE outfit, I went to thoroughly brush my pearly whites. Afterwards, I took a long shower until my skin wrinkled. "That's clean enough." I looked at my wrinkled toes. I tossed my robe aside and dried my body using my towel. I wasn't expecting anybody to burst into my room so I walked freely in my room....nude. Then I wore my lucky lingerie. It was a label called 'George'. I even had some clothes from there.

I came across a long sleeved cream blouse with pearl buttons,a black tailor's trouser and its coat. They looked classic and official. I smiled at them with full enthusiasm.
Shoes...they say shoes take women to great places. I wasn't a fan of high shoes so I opted for flats. I had these cute black fluffy flats from German. I got them as a birthday gift from Gina last year.
I put all of my clothes organized and begun wearing one after the other.

After putting on my shoes, I sat before my dressing table for a slight make up. I applied some mascara to my eyelashes,lipgloss to make keep my lips fresh,combed my always messed up brows into a neat order and wore some blush too. I tied my blonde hair into a simple pony tail since it is what Gina usually does with her chest but brown hair. So, I assumed it was a thing that they do. Pearl studs as a final touch and I was ready to hit the road.

I checked the wall clock and it was 8:25am. Amma be late!! With the L.A traffic,am going to run in totally late.
Mom was no where to be seen. She is usually awake by this time,doing chores or tending a bunch of flowers. We also owned a floral shop.

"Mom!!" I called out. Breakfast can wait. "Mom!!" I shouted louder.
"What do you want woman?" She came in holding carnations. They looked so lovely and they were my favourite flowers. "Adorable,heh?" My mom asked after she noticed how lost I was in their beauty.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Mom, I have a job!" I told her. I expected her to cheer,yell or something but she stared back blankly. "Mom!!" I clapped my hands before her. I then noticed her glimmery eyes before she pulled me into her embrace.
"I am so happy for you darling. God has heard our prayers." She whispered into my ears calmly.
