~Chapter Fifteen~

"Yeah.." I clear my throat sitting up straight. "So in conclusion I would love ta have the opportunity ta work here." Looking at me with a blank face her eyes travel from my tattooed knuckles, to the sleeve on my arms, then the tattoos on my neck. "Right, so I see you have that you graduated a year early from high school with a 4.0 Gpa but I don't see anything on here about college or any real work experience?" She flips through my two page resume immediately setting it down on the glass table in between us. "Look I'm gonna be very honest with you Mr. Alsina, you just don't meet the requirements for the job. You need at least a year of college, 2 years plus work experience and you just don't and can't have that at eighteen." She sighs trying her best to act like that's the reason why. I know the song she's singing all to well.

"I can talk to my boss to see if we can get you a job starting from the bottom perhaps?"

"What? Cleaning floors, taking out trash? No thanks lady." Politely grabbing my resume off the table I start to leave the room. "No. I can start you off as my assistant then you can work your way up only if that's what you really want Mr.Alsina." She crosses her legs while looking over her glasses waiting on my response. "The pay?"

"Eleven an hour until you get evaluated for a raise. Your first day is Monday, bring a Venti iced skinny hazelnut macchiato, sugar-free syrup, extra shot, light ice, Extra whip with a waffle from IHOP and don't be late." I look around the room then I realize shawty's talking to me. "Got it?" She asks not even paying attention to me anymore.

"I guess. See you Monday."

"Mhm. Close the door on your way out please."

Inhaling then exhaling smoke I watch Vanessa cake her face with a bunch of makeup she don't need. "She just wants to have sex with you Lexus." She rolls her eyes right before she puts some black shit on her eyelashes. "How you sound? Tha broad is 'bout fifty-six years old. If that's tha case i'a fuck the grey roots out her head, at least imma be gettin' paid way more than I am now." She shakes her head looking bothered by my news.

"I ain't gon' touch that old broad Nessa, relax." Noticing the time on my phone I sigh. "I gotta go."

"Yeah. Whatever Lexus." Brushing the top of my hair with my hand I go ahead and hang up before the conversation takes a full left. I can never tell her good news especially not anything that has to do with me or imma just get a negative response. I toss my phone on my mattress feeling exhausted with the day, all I wanna do is sleep but work, church, and a hospital visit is the only thing on the schedule. Standing to my feet I lay out my work uniform then I put a outfit I can wear to bible study in my book bag along with some stuff for my grandmother.
