Virgo in Noir

You are Late.

"Are you sure you want to be a private investigator?" Asked Oliviah 

I sighed into my cellphone because Livia is that mom friend, she is always worried about me and always addressed caution in my actions before doing anything. I love her but I want more of a Supportive Best Friend then mom at times when it comes to choices I'm making out of my own volition.

"Nahanni the only reason I'm concerned because it's dangerous work, I thought when you went to college for criminal Justice to, I don't know branch off to being a lawyer or a forensic Scientist but Not This!  you are not the most intimidating person, and I don't want to lose the one person who keeps me going, just reconsider moving and find something safer there is no shame in that! " I sighed.

What does intimidating have to even do with private eye work? I swear this girl watches way too many lifetime movies and dramas. It's about invisibility which my whole life I mastered. I am not a traditional beauty. I am average looking in every sense of the word. I have never turned heads, I never been bullied because to be bullied, you have to be noticeable and I just was not ever noticeable to the general public, sometimes in class when I was in high school during roll call classmates would be confused when my name was mentioned even though I been in the same class with half of them since pre-kindergarten. 

Being a wallflower does have some perks, I feel like my wallflower ability would be extremely valuable asset to this position. 

"Liv the point of being a private investigator is to lay low and find out the information without red tape. being not intimidating is going to work for me, But I have to get these suitcases downstairs now before the taxi arrives, I'll call you in a few days when I am settled in rising and I love you too" Before Oliviah could say bye I hung up, I fixed my messenger bag before taking some of my suitcase's downstairs, my dad and brother were helping me take them down as well. 

I know I should not have hung up on her like that, I told her a few days because Oliviah will be very nagging, patronizing, my best friend has a way of not letting go if she feels she is right and right now I need to focus.

My New position was a paid internship to become an official private investigator because I went to school for criminal justice science, I do not have any real experience, but when the advertisement come up on the job board three weeks after graduation, I knew it was fate seeing Confidential Services advertised looking to Hire Intern to and I polished my short resume and spilled my soul on my cover letter on why this opportunity was important and everything to me. 

I interviewed for them through Video Chat and was given the offer two weeks later after passing my background and Security check, shortly after mid victory dance I received an email about when and where to report for my official first day, The Luxurious Framed City of Virgo.

I watched all the L.A Noir Movies growing up and Knew I rather be the Mysterious private eye then the crying damsel in distress across the desk. No one understood the chosen profession and thought I would grow out of it in Highschool, my parents are very traditional and wanted something traditional for all of their children. Despite Racial injustices, racial prejudices they were proud to say that they owned a fully paid off three story home, good yearly combined salary in the Six figure range and could afford to put all 5 of their children through college if they decided on college. Except for me because I wanted to major in was not something traditional especially when I explained it was not to be Cop or Crime Scene Analyst.

I did my Time in college, I did not date besides hooking up with one guy I worked with that was purely to get it out of my system so there was no hangs up on the opposite sex look I did not want to feel squeamish about the penis or any male anatomy, I did not Go out.  I worked in a small convivence store The Qwik N Go next to campus in the evenings and did my homework while I worked. I put back my pay checks and ate half off-grocery foods and mainly roast chicken flavored Ramen to ensure that I see this through, I did not want to ask my parents for a Dime extra. I allowed them to pay for school like they dreamed but after that I did not want to lean on them.
