Raya
11am appointment confirmed with Jamal Hart
I closed the text message , letting out a heavy sigh while I tapped my foot impatiently. With my hand on my hip and my eyes fixated on my car, I dialed the number I was giving for the shop.
It rang a few times before a quirky little voice picked up. "Desirable Ink, this is Jordan speaking how can I help you?"
"Hi um I have an appointment scheduled today for eleven in the morning but I was trying to see if I could push the time back a little?" I asked while biting my lips.
My car decided at the last minute to break down so now I'm waiting on my car service to come pick it up. I would leave it here and catch a Lyft but even then I would still be a little late because it's already ten fifty and the place is twenty minutes away from me.
The girl-Jordan- goes silent on the other end and I looked at my phone to make sure she didn't hang up on me. "Hello?"
"Yes hi! I'm sorry I had you on hold. Um, what's your name or who did you make an appointment with?"
"Raya Montgomery and it was with a Jamal Hart?" I tell her anxiously while looking down the road at the service trucks making their way towards me.
"Okay one second." She puts me on hold again and I let out a long breath through my nose.
I'm getting a little frustrated because my day isn't really going as planned. I woke up late because my alarm didn't go off this morning so I had to rush to put on something comfortable, make a quick breakfast and brush my teeth and other things.
Sadly, I didn't have time to get any numbing cream because, yea, my car.
Jordan comes back to the phone. "Okay so I just spoke with Jamal. You're welcomed to come a little later but after an hour you would have to pay a fifty dollar extra fee."
Jeez. "Okay that's fine."
"Okay! Well I will be seeing you soon Ms. Montgomery!"
"Oka-" I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence because she hung up the phone before I could say anything. "Rude." I muttered.
I sighed in relief when the tow trucks pulled up in front of my apartment and a man stepped out. He spoke to me about payments, when I can come pick it up and who to talk to when I get there.
I did my business, signed some papers and it was over with. I watched in sadness as my baby gets dragged away down the street.
My Toyota. My darling Toyota. We will meet again.
Sighing, I opened the lyft app on my phone and ordered a ride.
Five minutes away, it said.
During the wait all I could think about was how I'm going to be literally broke after paying for my car. It's taking a leg and an arm just to get my oil changed.
I need to find a job soon.
"Fuck!"
