Mr Duncan's Son

chapter 10

Saturday morning had come by so fast. I was a wake from about 5:00 and my interview was 8:30 am. I did my morning routine and picked my black skirt and black and white working blouse from the wardrobe I decided to wear my flat black shoes and comb my hair. By the time I was finished it was already 7:15 and its so hard to get taxi on days like today. I didn't bother to eat any breakfast. I can't afford to be late.
After standing at the gate for about 10 minutes a taxi pulled up almost full only one seat remaining which luckily I could sit in.
When I reached downtown I realised that the address is the same street which I walked through to go to the market. Walking and walking until I found the address of the place and realised it was the same placed which I saw the cute from the behind boy. Opening the door the scent of black cherry blossom filled my nostrils.. It smells so dam good. Looking around I realized that this place is an Agricultural supply store. Walking to the counter  present was a Indian looking man who look like he was in his 50s.
"Hi Good morning I am Layla Fling am here for an interview".
"Oh hi good morning miss Fling , I am Mr Duncan the owner of the store I'll soon call you for the interview just take a seat around the back".
When I went around the back there was three other girls seated  laughing and talking.
Good morning, I said but only one of them answered. As I got closer to the empty seat behind them I could see them looking at me from head to toe and the black melanin one with piercing all over her ears rolling her eyes while popping a gum.  Few minutes later black melanin attitude queen was called in for the interview and then the others. I was the last person to go. When Mr. Duncan call me in my heart started to beat fast. When I got to the door I knocked and went in instantly and Mr Duncan was seated behind a large grey desk in a black office chair. Inside the office had a different fragrance which  smells better and  was painted in sunshine yellow. The interview started with me telling him everything about myself and  about my qualifications and experience . He looked pleased with my interview and he actually look interested in what I was saying.
Five minutes later the interview was finished and I could feel that this job is definitely mine.
While walking out I hear somebody calling miss Fling I looked around and it was Mr Duncan  calling.
" The job is yours you can start Monday morning same time."
" Thank you very much Mr Duncan."
Finally I got a job. It pays me 11 thousand dollars JMD a week although its not  what i wanted but am grateful.  After leaving the business place I decided to go to Maxie department store  about three buildings away. I love Maxie because there are just so many clothes to choose from and the prices are always reasonable. I went over to the working clothes section and chose a  grey skirt knee length and a white blouse with cream flowers around the neckline. Walking up to the cashier then someone catch my eye. He's the same guy that I saw outside the Agricultural store am going to work at. Now I could see his face  he had this Indian look and he also had a slight look of my boss and then it struck me he must be Mr Duncan's son he looked like a younger version of him. He looked so cute and had some God gifted lips  that no girl could resist to kiss. Oh boy. He was walking around with a tall   chocolate skin  black girl she is so skinny. When it was my time to cash I saw them laughing and holding hands kmt that should have been me.
Layla what has gotten into you. He is like five years older than you and you're not his type. Isn't it obvious that he likes black skinny girls and you're the opposite. You can never get a chance with him he's rich and you're.. That's enough..subconscious. There is just always a voice in my head that defeats me. After paying for my clothes their were no where in sight. They have just disappear in the short space of time I wasn't looking that way. Afterwards I decided to head home I was starting to yawn a bit and my feet felt like they will give up anytime soon. When I reached home mom was not in the living room and the TV was off. heading up stairs I take off my clothing and went into the bathroom for a cold shower . after  having the shower my body felt light and fresh but I still wanted to sleep. Some seconds later there was a knock on my room door. Come in. It was mom with a plate in her hand it was loaded with curry chicken and breadfruit with a bit of white rice.

Yummy.. Although I want to sleep. I ate most of the food and brush my teeth and went straight to bed.
