I woke up in paradise. The bright light shone through the beautiful squeaky clean window and I was engulfed in the sheets around me. It was so beautiful and soft and fluffy. It had been many days since I have got this kind of sleep. That's when I remembered that I had a job to attend to and I shot straight up and ran for the washroom, actually tried to run to the washroom as my feet tangled up in the sheets and I fell face first on the ground and landed with a thud. Luckily I had a little extra cushion on me so I guess that my body didn't take such a severe impact. Anyways as I was about to get up, I heard two familiar noises screaming, and as I tried to use my super hearing to use, I noticed it was the little boy, Chris and his mother whose name I haven't learned yet. They seemed to be laughing, well I guess the mother actually thought about what I had told her about her sons feelings. I smiled as I thought that I helped a family out and for once not wrecked it like I had done to mine. I was once again lost into thoughts at the mention of my family, and I wasn't given time to reminisce as the mother had barged into my room.
She had a smile on her face but as soon as she saw me on the ground it changed to confusion as she rushed to me. "Oh honey, what're you doing down there, now hurry up, your job starts up in a hour and I have to show you around." She said and shoved me into the washroom and closing the door behind me, as I heard her heels clicking on the floor as she made her way out my door and I heard her yell " Correction, your job starts in thirty minutes so hurry up and there are clothes about your size in the closet, toodles". 'Great' I thought as I quickly took a shower with the beautiful smelling shower gel and the shampoo that made my lifeless hair way better. I stepped out with only a towel on with clean legs and hand's, luckily there was a new cute pink razor. I walked to the huge closet and opened it and found casual outfits. They seemed about my size, but a few things were a little tight and some were a little too loose. Since I didn't have much time to choose what I'm wearing, I grabbed a pair of loose jeans, rolled them up and a loose shirt, and rocked a messy hair. I looked like crap but better then the days I spent on the streets.
I opened my door and walked down the quiet hall trying to find the stairs in this huge house and to my surprise, I had bumped into Chris. He looked up and seemed extremely confused but happy to see me here. "What are you doing here, aren't you the one I was talking to on the streets the other day?" he asks, "Uhh, yeah, it's Anna by the way, I forgot to mention my name last time and I saw a add for being a maid so I decided to apply since I have nowhere else to go clearly." I said kind of scared of what he would think. "That's great, well I guess have someone cool around to hang out with, hopefully you last a little longer." He says taking me into confusion "What do you mean I'll last a little longer, I'm planning to stay here for a pretty long time buddy" I said, "There's a reason why my mom took you in without doing any checks, she's kind of desperate since my older brother who I guess is a few years older than you,, thinks its fine to spend a night with each, then kick them out." He said and that's when I'm like whaaaaat, no one told me there was an f-boy up in this house, but its fine, as long as I mind my own business it's all going to be fine. I ruffle his hair up and say "thanks bud, now let's go downstairs", we run down the stairs and I see the mother, I really have to know her name. Chris runs to the kitchen as he tells his mother how cool she is for getting me to work for them. She looks at me and says "Oh, you're here.", "Good morning Ma'am, sorry for the hustle this morning, it won't happen again, I promise." I quickly said trying to add a really good impression on her. "Oh, don't worry, it's Katrina and here's a list that I've maid, you basically have to do this every day and the other maid Naomi will show you around, I will see you in the evening, I have to go to work and drop Chris off." She said before leaving with Chris and leaving me breakfast. I sat down and had the pancakes topped with fruits, I looked around the house wondering where the other maid was and as if on cue, a women who seemed to be the same age as Katrina walks in with some plump features and graying hair walks in. She smiles to me and walks up introducing herself as I smile back "Hello dear, I'm Naomi, one of the maids here." She said, "Nice to meet you Naomi, its Anna, and I can already tell that you're gonna be great company, so, care to give me a tour?" I said and she gave me an even wider smile, we hooked arms and she took me through the house, showing me the house according to the order of the chores on the list. Here's what the list looked like,

The list was a little long and kinda rude but probably Katrina's way of being professional. Naomi told me that today was a day off to get settled in and unpack and the only reason Katrina woke me up early was because she wanted to see me before she left and know how dedicated I am.
