Work Before Play

WANTED

I was walking on campus when I got the call. I had just been let go from my babysitting job. I had just sent them my new semester schedule of classes, Mrs. Morgan said that my times were too late and too hard to work with.

Now how am I going to pay for everything?

The Morgan's were insanely rich and made sure that my ends stayed met. At least Mrs. Morgan said she would pay a small amount until I got another job. She knew I was not the kind of person to milk out her money.

Now I am on campus looking at ad sheets on campus boards for a job.

Housekeeper WANTED

I read the ad and it sounded perfect!

Though, it was significantly less that what I was paid before, it was still higher than minimum wage.

I called the number to arrange an interview. A man with a deep voice picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi, My name is Lydia and I was curious if you still needed the housekeeper position filled?"

"Yes, actually, if you could email me a resume so I can look it over , that's be wonderful. If my roommates and I agree on it all, then I will give you a call back, shortly for a more formal interview and show around the house." The man said kindly.

"Okay, I will be sure to do that. Thank you!" I said in a cheerful voice.

"You are very welcome. I look forward for your email. Bye byee." The man replied happily.

"Bye!" I hung up the phone.

I sat down in our campus' student center and began to update my resume of the Morgan's and my list of work experience that I gained there.

I typed in the email address on the ad and sent the file to him.

Shit. I forgot to ask the man for his name.

I was in my Zoology lecture, typing my notes from the screen in the front of the class when I got a notification of a new email.

It is the guy about the housekeeping job!

I pulled up my email to see that he approved and his roommates were impressed of my job qualifications.

They wanted to meet in person. I was composing an email back to the man, who said his name was Mark, when I got a text.

Hey,

My roommates and I would love to me you as soon as possible to you can start and all! I noticed you have a student email of the college near by, we will work on your class schedule to meet up.

-Mark

I quickly texted back that could meet after this class I was in currently. He sent me the address.

After class, I gather my material and printed off some lecture notes for Economics. I walked to my car and plugged the address in to my navigation finder.

After a small 15 minute drive I pulled up to a beautiful big house.

Oh, wow. I did not expect this.

I parked in the driveway and walked up to the door to knock.

After a couple small knocks, a blonde haired man answered.

"Hey, I am Matt." The lanky tall guy said while extending his hand to me. I shook his hand.

"Hey, Matt! Is that the pizza? Or what?" A man's voice yelled from inside the house. Then suddenly, I shorter, stockier guy came behind Matt.

"Oh. You aren't pizza." He said frowning slightly. "Wait! Are you Lyla? No, Lindsey? "

"Lydia." I said shyly.

"Oh yeah! I am Ryan." He smiled at me. "Well, Matt quit blocking the door with your fatass and let our friend in here!" Ryan pushed Matt away from the door to let me slide in.

"Guys what are you yelling about down there?!?" A familiar deep voice boomed from the stairwell farther in the house.

A man with red hair came down. His hair was a wild mess and he was holding his shirt in his hands. Meaning he was shirtless.

"Oh, shit! You're Lydia, aren't you?" The man exclaimed who I believe was Mark.

He hurriedly threw on his shirt and ruffled his hair, attempting to make it more presentable I assume.

"Yes, I'm Lydia. You guys have a very beautiful home."

"Awe thanks!" Mark said in a funny voice that made my chuckle softly. "Come lets all sit down and get to know each other!"

We all sat around the living room. I got a recliner while the guys sat on a couch across from me.

Mark started off, "Is there anything that you wouldn't do?"

"Well, since I have worked with babies ranging to preteen, I feel as though nothing could shock or deter me too much. I feel as though I can handle a lot you guys may throw at me." I replied, crossing my legs. I was relieved that I wore a fairly nice outfit today, since this was an impromptu interview.

Ryan piped up next, he had a smirk on his face. " What about laundry?"

"With all of my babysitting jobs, I have done plenty of loads."

"So guys underwear won't scare you off?" he said with a chuckle.

"No, I will not be scared of men's under garments. I'll fold it, hang it, all the works." I said with a smile.

"Why don't I show you around?" Mark said nicely, standing up, and extending his arm to me.

"Sure!" I took his hand.

Mark showed me the entire house, except for one room. It was near Mark's room. Mark said that was his personal room and preferred to not show me that room.

I gave them a copy of my class schedule and we all decided Tuesday and Thursday after class I would come over to clean and all for them. I received a spare key to use to get in.

The guys were all very nice after I stayed until almost eight pm just chatting and sharing a meal with them. I left shortly so I could start on my homework.

I called the Morgan's informing them of ow quick I found a new job and thanked them for the opportunity of letting me work for them for almost a year then.
