My lips touch the rim of the coffee mug letting the French vanilla that remained to warm me up. It's another cold day in England, I let the softness of the thick blanket cover me from head to toe. I know that sooner or later I would have to get up and start looking for jobs, but for now I take advantage of the time I have left.
I slowly pull the covers off me and get up, I can already tell that today was gonna be a looong day. I quickly put on jeans and slipped on my toms. While I was heading out the door I get my keys to my apartment and walked out.
Walking the streets of England reminded me of back home, oh how I missed the warmth. Was moving here really the best idea? Will it work? Will I find a job and be able to pay rent? Only time will tell. As I was letting these thoughts fill up my mind I stumble past a coffee shop with a sign in the window that said "LOOKING FOR EMPLOYEE" I quickly opened the door and as I did bells chimed my entrance, this place looked so peacefully, so relaxing, such a perfect place to work! I walk up to the counter sheepishly, and ask if they needed someone to help around, with that a woman who looked about in her 30's replied:
"What's your name kid?"
"Lizzie Bennet" I said while adjusting myself to the new setting
"Your not from here, are you?"
"No, I just moved here last month from Texas, see I finished college and my parents thought it was a good idea to visit new places and travel around the world" I replied with a smile on my face
"Look kid," she said with a frustrated tone. "I didn't ask for your lifetime story. Can you make coffee?"
"Umm yeah."
"Good you start tomorrow at 9! Your shifts are 9am-6pm Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays okay? When ever your sick and don't feel like you should come to work that day just text or call me at this number." She said while passing me her number on a wrinkled piece of napkin.
"Thanks!"
I smiled to myself, could it be? Did I just get a job?? Finally my adventure begins! With the money I get from working 3 day a week I can save up and visit France or maybe Spain! Ohhh this is so exciting! I was going a little over board but who cares I actually got a job!
Right when it starts to rain I reach the doorsteps of my apartment. I let the rain sprinkle on my face before entering. It's only 2pm what am I gonna do for the rest of the day?? Then I think back to yesterday, 'A Walk To Remember!!' Ahhh I bought the DVD and suddenly proud of myself for remembering, I run to my bedroom and grab the DVD that was laying on my desk.
*2 Hours Later*
Curled up in the fetal position I wiped my tears with the tissues that sat beside me, that movie always gets to me.
