BREATHLESS

Chapter 5

I have good news for you jessy informed me happily, guess what?. 

What dear you know I am not good at guessing,  what has you this excited?  "did Donald come already" I asked smiling.

In your dreams. Well immediately you left,  I called my friend from college,  Lisa!  the one I always told you about how she spends money like no mans business.

Yes you did.

I called her to ask if she would love to join us at the beach,  cause she has the money in abundance and is ever ready to spend it,  I know for sure that her presence means free shopping spree, nice time out at the spar and so many goodies,  but she said she wouldn't be able to come.

Wait can you calm down jess. You overly excited and I am not able to understand you properly,  besides why will you be so excited over the fact that your friend couldn't make it here,  if you desperately wanted her to come; so would foot your bills and all,  make me understand.

"Patience my dear is a virtue" she joked, let me finish.

Okay sorry for interrupting.

You welcome. So as I was saying, she said she couldn't make it here; because she had to take food to her brothers house and do a few clean ups,  considering his house help quit a few days ago,  because she had to travel to mexico for her dream job.

How does that serve as something to be joyful about?.

Seriously can you think for once lex,  with the help gone,  its means there Is a nice mouth watering job opportunity; that will help pay up your debt.  Look at it from this angle,  if Lisa doesn't work but yet spends so much,  its means just one thing, her brother is surely the source of her wealth and if you work for that source,  do you think your pay will be less or more.

You right jess.  Though I am not sure if I will get the spot' but will give it a try.  I hope its works. 

It will believe me. Would put in a few words for you to my friend Lisa,  I know she will convince her brother to let you get the job,  besides she's always told me her brother adores her and her twin sister  lori so much.

If Lisa is so great and rich how come she is friends with you.

You just being jealous lex,  its written all over you.

"Jealous of who? " if I may ask.

Me of course,  well you see I am not rich,  but I gat the brain,  in my school if you are intelligent the rich folks just flocks around you like bees to honey cobs,  they depend on you completely for anything That has to do with academics,  be it assignment, test and tutorial.

I feel so much pity for her.

"Pity for who and why?". 

Lisa of course,  because her brain must be badly damaged for her to see you as a brainy,  you jess I mocked.

Awwwwwn my bestie must be so proud of me,  "come give momma a hug" she teased forcing me in for a hug.

You must be crazy jess,  but you right I am so proud of you and I love you so so so so very much.

send your curriculum vitae to this mail and leave the rest to me I will handle it.

Thanks so much.  What would I have done without you.  Thanks jess.

You not welcome,  till you get the job,  first but congrats in advance.

"Sure you don't want this handsome man"she said pointing towards Mr Rudy; whose already walked past us for the hundredth time.

I do not jess,  I am feeling tired already,  let's go home plus am hungry I could eat a whole being right now.

I am not ready to go now lex,  please let me drawn in the awesomeness of this perfect creature before me,  then we can go please she begged. 

No I won't,  let's go moreover I have to mail my cv already,  I dont want to lose this opportunity,  you know how much I need the money in 3 months time,  my fate will be decided by he who decides our fate,  either I will be on the street with no where to go or I be in my house eating a box of pizza and a chocolate ice cream from dominion.

You will get your house back,  I assure you bestie nothing will put all your effort to waste not after having to only wear my old clothes and go hungry most of the days,  just because you feel every dollar counts and you don't want to disappoint your mom.

Let's go dear,  let's go get that job of yours, remember to bring me take out sometimes,  you know how much I love your cooking,  its just out of this world,  i believe if you to own a restaurant you would do just great with i, cause your culinary skills are  out of this world, though you have refused to tell me who taught you the art.

Its just a talent that runs in my family.  My grandma was a great chef and so was my mum,  she only stopped when she fell Ill and was advised by the doctor to rest from indulging in any stressful activity, thankfully she had trained lots of people, so they ran her business so well, one could hardly tell the difference between her cooking and that of her trainees.
