The next morning I woke up very early and washed some of me and my mom's dirty clothes , I could not wash everything because I didn't want to be late , at least not in the first week of work. When I was finish washing I hang out everything on the line and afterwards went inside to freshen up and get ready for work. Mom prepared breakfast for me so I wouldn't be late. When I reach at work the store wasn't open so I had to sit at a concrete bench that was placed outside the entrance. Few minutes later a navy blue Mark X pulled up and parked at the gate way. I could not see who was inside because it was tinted . The car was just so pretty all shinny and looking as if it was just purchased. Suddenly One of the front door flew open revealing Daniel with a smirk plastered on his God gifted lips. When he realized I was looking at him his smirk expand making look like he was grinning like a Cheshire cat . Good morning Lay--la , said Daniel in a singing tone while looking at me from head to toe. Good morning Daniel, replied layla while walking behind him waiting on him to open the door. I just can't believe my eyes. I didn't expect to see him coming out of that car because when the car pulled up at the gate all in my mind was that it was either Mr Duncan or maybe someone to deliverer something. Then he was grinning like hell and then it went to the point where he acknowledged me by my first name while singing it . He never calls me by my first name , so I don't know what has gotten into him . Daniel's car:

I don't know if he is trying to show off or something but he looks stupid cute, if that's even a word. Entering inside I walk to the cashier room and put down my handbag and turn on the air conditioning unit (AC). Later in the afternoon Mr Duncan came and carried island grill food for the three of us.

Jerk chicken with rice and peas steam vegetables with festival. When lunchtime came I ate most all the food especially the jerk chicken, it was so spicy and nice not to mention the festival. I enjoyed my lunch , thanks to Mr Duncan. I did not expect him to carry lunch for me since none of my previous boss has never bought anything for me. He seems as if he is a very nice person. Daniel is so lucky to have a dad like that who cares for him so much. Sometimes I wish I had a father like that. I have never met my dad, I've only seen him on pictures, but my mom always say that I look a lot like him when he was in his teens,but I just can't see the resemblance.
time flew by very fast, when it was time for me to go home Daniel wasn't there but his car was Parked outside which means he is somewhere nearby. I walked to the bus park where I got a bus that carried me straight to my gate. As I stepped through the gate i could smell a strong aroma of chicken soup. Yummy , I always loved chicken foot soup. When I opened the door to enter inside the aroma was even stronger. "Good evening mummy", said layla while walking into the kitchen. "Evening lay mi deh yah Cook sum a yuh favourite soup". Yes mummy thank God, hope it done cauz right now mi need a bowl .( Jamaican patios) Translation: " Evening lay am here cooking some of your favourite soup". "Yes mummy thank God, hope it is finish cooking, because I want some". Mom shared out soup for the two of us and I was so eager to drink mine.

I always loved when my mom cooked soup because it was most time full of dumplings, yellow yam and other ground provision foods. When I tasted mine it was so hot and spicy with a lot of steam coming out. I almost burned my tongue while trying to drink the soup without cooling it. My mom was laughing at me and saying that am too greedy. But am not greedy I just love my soup and I don't want it to get cold or else it won't be as nice as it is now. When I was finished eating the only thing that was left in my plate was the corn cob and there was not even one corn grain on it. My stomach was full after all and I was belching a lot. Afterwards I went up to my room and freshened up and text Tina few minutes later she replied asking how is my job so far and I told her about everything that happened and about my new boss Mr. Duncan and Daniel. After about 15 minutes of texting Tina fell a sleep only to hear a knocking on my door. I rubbed my eyes trying to remove the sleepiness from my eyes and answer my mom who opened the door with a excited Tina behind her with two bags in her hand and a knack sack on her back. "Wha.. what are you doing here"!?, I asked while stuttering " So I can't come here? ", said Tina while rolling her eyes. Only Jamaicans answer a question with a question. "I never said that Tin , I am just surprised to see you here at this time of the night and disrupted my sleep." "Whatever , you won't be going to sleep now anyways." Said Tin with a evil smirk plastered on her face. I don't know why she didn't call me to tell me she was coming before just popping up out of the bloom and the worst thing ever to disturb my sleep, but that's just the typical Tina. She ended up spending the night at my house. We talked about everything all about Travis her boyfriend and about me . I went to bed late than I expected around 1:30 in the morning because of a chatterbox Tina. I was surely gonna be late for work tomorrow.
