The days of laziness are over, Ariana thinks to herself as she sprints out of her duvet covers after a very long holiday away from work. Ariana's dad passed on when she was 5 years old. He got shot during a robbery at his workplace and it's now upon the newly high school graduate of 18 years old to fend for her mother, Nadia and younger sister of 16 years old, Bianca. In order to fulfill her father's wish, which is to take care of both her mother and sister, Ariana works for the famous Mrs McCarthy as a helper around the breathtaking mansion situated in the suburb named Ricchwood, known for its beauty, its loaded famouse residents and its marvelous sunsets which Ariana is looking forward to seeing in the future.
"Hey mom ." She greets her mom as she enters into the kitchen after a long bubble bath, loud bangs on the bathroom door and wicked threats from the beautiful lunatic of the house, Bianca.
"Hi" mum first lifts one eye up giving Ariana a questioning look and then eyes her up and down with both eyes." Your are not all dressed up for breakfast are you?"
" not at all, I'm off to work. Remember?"
Ariana is dressed in a neon pink top and black tight jeans that emphasize on her curves and very thin waist. Like Bianca, Ariana is a brunette with shoulder length hair in great profusion streaming down her shoulders. She has the most prettiest face and an extravagant smile that is capable of making any normal man come crawling at her feet.
"Oh ,okay" mum replies her facial expression making it kind of obvious that she's forgotten. " Well then, take care of yourself. Make sure you catch the correct taxi heading to Riccwood and not Whicchwood and as for that purse of yours, sticking out of your-"
"MUM!" Ariana shouts. "I'm sure I can choose the correct taxi going to Ricchwood with my eyes closed, I've been doing that for the past three months. So you literally have nothing to worry about." She continues "and I was about to fix the purse...mum."
"But remember when-"
"Yes I do remember,but that was my first time going to that place. So you, my dear mum, just have to relax ", Ariana replies.
"Just making sure ." mum replies.
Ariana rolls her eyes and at that moment Bianca comes running into the kitchen carrying Ariana's ringing phone reaching it onto her sister's ear and signaling for her to speak.
Ariana quickly gets the message and starts talking over the phone.
"Hello" she answers in a formal tone.
"Hey Ariana", a famliar voice filled with zeal replies.
"Um...Mrs McCarthy." Ariana replies with a perplexed expression written on her face. Well she still has about three hours left before she starts her work or at least that's what her watch says.
"I'm sorry for calling you this early but would you mind coming in earlier today. An emergency has just come up and I need you to quickly arrange something for me."
" Is there something wrong Mrs McCarthy?"
"No no.It's just that Quinton decided to come earlier than he was supposed to and is landing in less than an hour."
"Okay, I'll be right there" Ariana replies clearly vexed at the sudden emergency. That to her sounds very much dense. But then again Mrs McCarthy has always been good to her so why would she veto to the nicely asked favour.
"What's up ?" Bianca asks solicitously.
"Nothing. I just have to go earlier to work today".Bianca grabs her phone and heads towards the door. "Bye everyone and by the way DO NOT FORGET your doctor's appointment this afternoon,mom."
"Hey! I thought I was the adult of the house the last time I checked" mum replies whimsycally.
A short chortle escapes Ariana's lips as she closes the door behind her. She heads to the Grahamston taxi rank
with earphones plucked in her ears while singing along and earning herself curious glances all around her.
What's so bizarre about what I'm doing , Ariana thinks to herself.
Ariana hastily prepares everything she was told to prepare in honour of the anonymous Quinton's arrival, who she already regards a nuisance to the power of two. If it wasn't for his stupid early arrival she wouldn't have been forced to report to work early and thereafter run around the three story mansion like a headless chicken.
Ariana has to manage the house and make sure that everything is in its correct place. It is not an easy job as she helps here and there and the house must be up-to-date from top to bottom.
She is preparing a bedroom for the guest of honour when she hears a soft knock on the room's door.
"I'm sorry but I cannot help you at the moment as I'm preparing this bedroom for the master of the house" she shouts out without even glancing at the person standing at the the door.
"Umm...that's me...I guess," the person replies

Do you think that Ariana is in trouble . Well don't hesitate to tell me what's on your mind.
