Much love, thank you

I woke up feeling so tired, why? Working three jobs just to survive in this cruel world. Oh I've got a degree you know but with no contact, it hasn't been of help. I had this stupid dream of graduating from college, getting a high paying job and just live my life to the fullest, meet the man of my dream and fall madly in love with him, wed and have a family and be happy, but life has its own wicked plans for me. Angelique enough with the self pity OK? I said to myself.
I got out of bed, took a shower and quickly got dressed, I can't miss the bus I muttered to myself...I'm so so tired of this messed up life!!! Why can't I just meet a billionaire and get married to him at least I won't lack for anything.
I threw my brush, powder and lipstick into my bag, rushed out and ran all the way to the bus station, lucky you Angelique I said to myself as I tried to calm my self, thanking God the bus just got here. I hopped in and the bus drove off.

10 minutes later i got down from the bus and head to the restaurant where i work as a waitress, yea you heard right a waitress, well the pay is good but not enough to pay my bills and other expenses so the extra two jobs came in handy. i took the staff entrance and bumped into none other than my best friend Megan Daniel.
Hey angel' Megan said... i smiled at her calling me angel, the nickname is so not me. i don't look anything like an angel, with my big green and grey eyes, wide hips and my God, my butt sometimes i just want to hide it with baggy clothes and that's what i do, wear clothes that even my grandma won't wear.
hola meg" i said in Spanish which made her roll her eyes at me and i laughed.
will you stop speaking Spanish to me? 'I'll have to learn that language coz of you angel'... meg said...
'well that won't be bad for a change meg', i said as i walked to the staff locker and changed my outfit into the restaurants uniform.

'yea, yea, yea'...whatever she shouted at me which made me laugh...
well she's Megan and i love her but she can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
so what's up for Friday night i asked her. 'well i was thinking we could go to the club and just have fun, you're no fun Angel'... meg said and i pinched her
'what was that for'!!! she screamed at me.
'well that's for saying i'm no fun sometimes', i said as i stuck my tongue out at her and before she could retaliate and quickly ran out of the staff locker room and into the kitchen leaving her behind.
Time for work Angelique... i said under my breathe.

few hours later...

gosh i'm so tired and these heels are killing me, i sat down, took of my shoes and rubbed my stocked in feet to reduce the pains i'm feeling. i quickly put the shoes back on when i heard my name from the kitchen... rest over i muttered. My shift would be ending soon anyway i consoled myself with that thought. i took the customers order and went back into the restaurant and a customer walked in
'welcome to fabulous restaurant and diner'... i said before looking up to the person and damn what a beautiful sight to behold i thought to myself.
'thank you'... the sexy guy said
i showed him to a seat and went ahead to take his order,
'this is the menu sir'... i said to him, which he took and looked over before deciding to go with pasta lasagna and chicken broth and a bottle of wine the most expensive one at that
i took his order and went to the kitchen, five minutes later i returned with his food, served him and said
if that will be all sir, i bowed slightly and left.

I couldn't take my eyes off him, got back to doing my job and went back to his table when he signaled for his bill, he paid and I'd say left a huge tip for me, that's a first.

Done with my shift, said goodbye to Megan and left the restaurant and went for my other two jobs, yea two, at least am not homeless.
Feeling so exhausted when I got home, took a shower, changed into my pajamas and soon as my head hit the pillow, I was off to dreamland.
