Then again

chapter 1

What a day! I cannot believe I am only leaving work now at 8:30 pm. I work at a small business that does personal home decorating, this client was not happy with any of my suggestions that I made for him.

My name is chané and I am now 22 years old I work for my aunt who owns the business it's just for now until I figure out what to do next.

I'm now walking home my mom is probably waiting up for me. It is very dark out and I am so happy that there are Street lights that are lighting up my path!

I live in a small quiet neighbourhood. My house is a single story which is fine with Me it's big enough for my mom and I. It has all the things we need, a lounge dining room, kitchen,bedrooms. Office, a bathroom which we Share and let's not forget a swimming pool!

Almost home just a few more steps!! And I'm home! "Mom!! Im home!!" I shouted out "In here hunky!" I heard her shout from the kitchen.

I headed to the kitchen and saw her sitting on a chair drinking some hot chocolate. "I'm sorry I'm late mom I was dealing with a client that was being very difficult." I told her while stealing her hot chocolate and taking a sip. She glared at me."make your own, and thats alright your supper is in the oven just heat it up and eat" She then stood up and headed off to her bedroom. I looked in the oven and saw she made some macaroni and cheese, yummy. I took it out and heated it in the microwave.

Once it was done I sat down at the table and began to dig in and eat! I was hungry!

My mind started roaming around and thinking about my future and where I want to be.yes I am 22 and all but it's not always to late to change what you want to be. My mom couldn't afford to send me to an expensive university so I had to work straight out of school. I'm lucky my aunt has her own business and gave me a job to earn money. Ive worked my way up and now and earn enough to live on my own. But I am more comfortable living with my mom until I feel I am ready to move out.

I enjoy working with my aunt it's just the late hours that really get me run down and working with difficult clients that never agree with you with out putting up a fight. It requires alot of creativity and patience!

Before I know it my food was finished and my stomach is now full. I headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower once I was done I dried off and ran to my room and change into my sleeping clothes.

I grabbed my laptop and paper and began to sketch out the ideas the client gave me and looking at some colour ideas. Before I knew it I began to fall asleep.
