One Night Stand

2.

I picked up my phone so I can call my cousin angie about her helping me get a job. I scroll through my contacts until I reach her name. She answers on the fourth ring.

"Hello, this I angie speaking"

"hey angie this is your cousin germany, the one who your aunt kicked out"

"oh hey how have you been ?"

"im doing okay besides the fact that i lost my job today and I really need work"

"well have you done any special training? like with weapons or anything  ?"

"y-yeah" I stutter out because i don't know how that will help me.

"I don't want to talk about the job over the phone so how about we meet up tomorrow at Ronalds Cafe, let's say ten o'clock ?"

"umm yeah sure why not, I guess I'll see you there and thanks again"

"no problem, see you tomorrow"

After I hang up I put my phone on the charger next to my bed. Once my head hit my pillows I was out like a light.

After I dropped royal off at school this morning I went straight home so I can start getting ready to meet up with Angie at 10. I took a thirty-minute shower, after I got out I dried off and went to my closet to find an outfit. I chose to wear my virgin mary sweatshirt with my red sweats and some all black Vans. I put my hair in a messy bun that shows my dark purple highlighted tips.

I arrived at the cafe at about 10:05 due to crazy traffic. Once I walked in i saw angie but I could barely recognize her due to her wearing all black.

"Hey angie, how have you been ?" I greet her.

"hi I've been doing great, how about you ?" she says shyly.

"I'm getting by but why did you want to talk about the job in person and not over the phone ?"

"well this job isn't exactly the most legal job in the world but the pay is amazing and you will be able to support your daughter"

"what do you mean by not the most legal job ?"

"I'm a hit-man, you know you kill a person for somebody for money" she says with a hint of longing in her voice. I'm still stuck on how she just said she's a murderer so calmly.

"wait, how long have you been doing this and you never got caught ?"

"I've been doing this for about 5 years and my boss is really on top of his things so we will mever get caught and I think you two will get along great"

"I don't know angie i mean what would happen if I get caught? and I have training but I've never killed somebody before"

"I swear you'll get use to it because your doing it to survive and  your only killing bad guys"

"can I call you later with an answer ?" I say ready to leave this conversation alone.

"yeah but hurry because I don't want the spot to get taken"

"okay I'll call you later" I say as I walk out of the cafe as quick as I can without getting any food. This is going to be a hard desicion because I have to take care of my daughter but I don't think I can kill people. ever.

-

I'm taking royal to go get some pizza and ice cream like I promised her yesterday.

"how was your day at school today royal?" I say as we're walking to the car from coldstone ice cream shop downtown.

"it was good because I got two stickers on my test today" she says excitedly.

"good job baby girl, I'm so proud of you"

"mommy, do you think daddy is proud of me?" she asks in a longing tone.

" I don't know baby girl, but I'm sure he would be."

-

After we got home I ran royal's bath and said she can stay in for a extra thirty minutes since she did good today in school.

I decided to take this time to call Angie.

I dial her number and she answers on the third ring.

"hey Germany, did you think about the question from earlier?"

"hey and yes I did but when do I start?" I say giving her my answer. Which was yes.

After I gave her my answer she explained that I have to tomorrow morning at an abandoned warehouse so I can be recruited and meet the boss.

I guess tomorrow's going to be a long day....

-

Afterwards I put Royal to sleep and get ready to take my shower. I step into the shower and let the warm water wash all the stress from today away. I washed up and got out to dry off and lotion up.

As I lay in my bed I realized that I have a lot to do tomorrow so I just let sleep take over me.
