I, Naileha Martinez swear to myself that as of today I will never look back and think of myself as a useless person. I will love, cherish and accept myself. Try to forget all about what happened to me and move on with my life. I will try to stay positive and look for a job that will help and provide for my family.
As I chant this over and over in my head I make my way to hunt down a secretary or personal assistant spot at any of the companies in the city. Since the city 10 minute away from my house I decided that is best to look for one here. I've heard that the pay is good and I really hope it is. I need this money. Not just for appliances that are needed at the house but for my Ma's medicine...
Its been almost 2 hours that I've been on this job hunt and nothing. As I am about to quit and start again tomorrow, a girl dressed up with the uniform of Cage & son Inc. comes out crying saying something about quitting her job because her boss was an arrogant prick and blah blah blah.. I stopped listening after the word prick. I take that as an opportunity to look for a job at the incorporation.
Fixing my outfit a bit and standing straight, I make my way to the double glass doors and enter. Wow! This place is beautiful. While admiring this place I almost walked into someone. A gorgeous red head that looked like she belonged here. But her uniform was way to short to look "professional" and just by that I immediately knew I was not gonna like her attitude or her.
"Hey piggy, watch where you are going. Someday you are gonna fall and wont get up and start rolling. Aren't you ashamed of walking around with all fatness?"
As she is laughing at me, I feel like my eyes sting.. I know I am not as skinny as all the girl that work here but I'm not fat either yeah I am a size 10 in jeans but its because I have a lot of junk in the trunk. I admit that I attract a lot of attention from the male species and a lot of ugly stares from the skinny girls that walk by pass me. They try to avoid me like the plague, oh well. I am NOT ashamed of my body anymore. I have come to the point of accepting myself for who I am and what I have.
I smile at her and say "No, I am not ashamed of myself. I believe that the more the meat the better. No starving man wants to eat a bone for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desert" I laugh and shake my head. As I do I feel a pair of penetrating eyes staring at me. I lift my head up and stare straight ahead and there he was... The most handsomest guy I have ever laid eyes on. The way he looked at me made me feel like he could see deep into my fucked up soul.
Peeling my eyes away from his, I walked towards the receptionist that was unoccupied. "Good afternoon Ms. I have a question for you.." she looked up and in a way I saw that we were gonna be great friend. She was around my age. Maybe 22 years old around there. She didnt appear to be more than 25. I gave her a big smile " Hi. Welcome to the cage & son Inc. what can I do for you today?" ahhh. Professional, I bet that act wont stay put for long; I really have a good feeling about her. Not like that red headed bitch from earlier. Ugh. I dont usually judge a book by its cover, but damn. I had a really bad vibe about her. I couldn't put my finger around it.
Coming back to my senses I look at her piercing blue eyes and smile again. "sorry for disturbing you from your work but I was just wondering Do you guys have and opening for a secretary or a P.A position? I have been looking around for a job but non have the spot that I've been looking for. I have my resume with me if you'll like to see it." I wait patiently for her response and pray to the big man In the sky for some help.
"I actually do have an opening for you but I dont think you'll like it, you see there was a girl that was working as the P.A of my bestfriend and she just quit today. Saying something about him being a jerk and stuff. But I dont quite believe her. He is a good person but he has his moment. Anyways would you like the position? I have a really good feeling about you. If you work here we'll get to know each other more and become the best of friends!!!" Told ya. I can tell she is a very ecstatic person. Shaking my head I see her smile slowly disappear.
"No, no dont take this the wrong way! I would love to take the job but dont I need an interview of some sort?" With her smile back in place she said "Nahh. I can present you to your new boss as my closest friend and he will take you right in. I have a feeling you guys may become great friends... maybe more" she winked at me and shook her head. Typing something in her computer, she took like 5 or so minutes typing and finally finish.
" All done! You are ready to start on Monday at 7:30am sharp! He doesn't accept tardiness. Sooo see you on Monday?" "Naileha. Naileha Martinez" I extend my hand towards her and she shook it with a big smile which I returned just as big.
" Here is my resume with all my information. If you need something or change your mind just give me a call". Looking at my resume she comes out and say " Dont worry. We wont change our minds. Looking at your resume you have a lot of experience and are qualified for this job. I'll take your number and text you with the details of what you need to know about this job, who you'll be working for, your wage etc."
Giving her one last smile, I take my fat ass and walk out the double doors I came in from. And dont think that just because I say that, that I am putting myself down. No, its not that. I meant it literally . You can notice it more with this tight ass pencil skirt. Walking away, I feel some of the males eyes on my, well More so my ass. Ughh I hate men. They are pigs. Not all of them, but some.
Once outside take a deep breath of fresh air and smile to the world. I finally have the fresh start I've always wanted...
