The Past Always Comes Back

Chapter 4: Getting the job (part 1)

Today I have to go get the job at the coffee shop that I really need to know the name of but nah. I think of what could happen on my little adventure and maybe Marie could get a job with me...WAIT I need to go get ready for the interview.
I quickly jump up out of bed and run to the shower almost falling from getting up to fast, then after the shower I change into the new clothes Marie and I bought (picture above) that I thought was cute but appropriate to wear to get a job...I went to go ask Marie but she wasn't there and just as I was going to walk out I smell something, huh? It smells like...FOOD!! I sprinted down the stairs to the kitchen to see Marie cooking blueberry pancakes with bacon on a paper plate since we haven't bought dishes or silverware...
"I hope you are hungry because I made-"
I cut her off and took the plate, hugged her, sat down then started eating..well more like inhaling my food...
"Okay I guess you were hungry"she says surprised I don't know why she's surprised I'm always hungry...
"Well DUH your cooking is amazing, and I'm always hungry you should know this by now" I say with a mouth full of food which makes Marie cringe at the sight of partially chewed food.
"How many times have I told you DON'T TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL" she scolded me in her motherly tone. Then I look at my phone and get on my shoes and go out and get in the rental car because my car arrives tomorrow morning. The drive isn't very long only 10 minutes and before I know it we are there, I get out of the car then enter the cafe but not until I look at the name of the place, Federal Café..hmm odd name but it's so cute on the inside and at last I take a deep breath and walk in... I hope this goes well!

*After the interview*
YAY I did it, I got the job, and it pays well I get $30 an hour which will be enough for rent and have left over money for decorations, furniture, dishes, and silverware...I told them I was also applying for the job with FC Barcelona and they are willing to set up a schedule that works for me... I need to tell Marie right away, as I look at my phone I see that it's 1:00 pm, I should really head home but why not explore a little. I find a park nearby and go sit on a bench beneath a huge tree the get out my phone to see new messages from mum, Marie, and a missed call and a voicemail from an unknown number, hmm. I read Marie's text first.
Marie: hey how did the interview go?
Me: great I got the job
Marie: awesome
Me: okay I've got to go I'll see you when I get back home
Marie: okay

Great now I just have the other two to get out of the way which ones first, I guess I'll put on my big girl panties and answer the unknown number before mum...she's going to kill me but oh well. I play the voicemail to hear a woman's voice, it sounds very calming yet serious at the same time, she delivered a message that said: This is Emily from FC Barcelona headquarters, I have called to see if it would be okay that we had the interview sooner everyone is so eager to meet you so if you could give us a call back to work out the details that would be great! Thanks, bye.
After the voicemail ended I decided to call back as asked by Emily whom I assume was the secretary. She answered at the third ring and spoke gently with her soothing voice...
(SKIP CALL)

I hung up with Emily, wow she is really nice. Nicer than I expected a secretary to be because aren't they usually grumpy and old? I don't know but they want to meet with me tomorrow and I couldn't be any more excited even though it's Christmas but oh well I need the job, I get in my rental car, just as I remember I have to pick up my car and read mums text. So I go to pick it up while I read mums text which says:Hi sweetie how's Barcelona? How did the job interview go? About twenty minutes passed by and I finally arrived. I texted mum really quick then got out of the rental and went to go collect my car. I head to the front desk where a middle aged man got me my keys and showed me to my car. I thank the man, get in the car, start it, then I started driving and thought 'My baby. My black 1967 Chevrolet Impala with black leather seats, oh how I missed your comfortable seats and the way your engine purrs.' She is going to stick out like a sore thumb, all these people have are rusty old cars or really expensive sports cars.. But I'm going to be the only one with an American muscle car, I can't wait to pull up at work with her. Then I snapped out of my thoughts and realized I was home already, I don't even know how I remembered my way back i guess it just happened. I walk inside and look towards the kitchen, then to my bedroom and debate about whether or not I should eat then sleep or just sleep. Might as well get some food, so I walk to the kitchen and heat up some leftover Chinese food, which was gone within a few minutes. I'm soon finding myself very tired, so I go and hop in bed and begin to drift off to sleep...a calm and peaceful sleep, but it's never that simple, NOPE because I'm getting a call from mum. I know because it her ringtone. I almost ignored it but I always forget to text her so I need to answer, I picked up the phone and at first I am sleepy but I wake up slightly and answer.
Me: Mum why are you calling me at this time of night you should be asleep?

Mum: well I love you too I just called to ask how you are and how things are going.

Me: I love you too, everything is fine things are going great here I have my interview for FC Barcelona tomorrow... How are things with you?

Mum: good, great actually, I..well..I met someone who I really like...

Me: OH MY GOD really?!?!?!?! What's his name? How old is he? When can I meet him? What's his name? Where does he live? Did you do a background check? Do you want me to do it?because I'm really-

Mum: okay calm down his name is Conner Michaels he's my age so 39, he lives in Los Angeles about 20 minutes from our house. I'm not doing a background check this time because I trust him, and no you are not doing it. You can meet him when you calm down and get your panties out of a knot.

Me: AWWWWwwwwww so adorable I'm going to puke

Mum: go ahead I don't judge...anyways you are probably tired so I'm going to go now love you bye

Me: okay love you bye
And with that she hangs up and I look at the clock and it's now 11 pm and I'm tired, and I have to get up early so I need to go to bed like now...but I wonder what working there will be like, I hope it's fun, and I hope to god they like me. As I get into my thoughts I become very tired and actually get to drift into a complete nightmare free slumber...
