Denied And Unnoticed

CHAPTER 25

Catherine POV

Holiday started off well

I got a call to babysit a baby for two hours on a certain Tuesday which I did successfully and got paid handsomely

I got calls from my new found job frequently and I was making money out of this gift of loving children

To say I wasn't proud with my success would be a lie, I was making money enough for both of us to live at least a little luxurious

My mom bought herself a watch and I was happy that she finally started buying stuff for herself again

Today was Saturday and I was cleaning the house as usual when I got another call again

Me: hello Catherine speaking

"Hello I'm Mrs Nowels how're you"

It was a lady

Me: I'm okay how're you

"I'm fine ...I saw your poster about babysitting ...are you free today?"

Me: oh ..yes I am

"Alright I wanted you to look after my kids for a while from 12 till 5"

I gasped internally

Five hours!

I've never worked that long but the hours meant ten thousand I just couldn't turn it down

I just couldn't

Hello? Are you there?

Me: yes I am ...I'll be free ..may you send me the address of your home please

"Great! I'll do that ...see you in 2 hours time"

I was ecstatic when the call ended, I did a little victory dance and grinned

I was gonna make more money today, my little butt just couldn't wait. I finished my chores quickly and started getting ready

"Are you going somewhere?" My mom asked when she saw me packing my phone and other stuff in my backpack

"Yes I am"

I told her about the call I had an hour ago as I continued getting ready

"Wow that's... nice" she sat on the bed

"Yea" I smiled

I knew she didn't like me working one bit but I was just too stubborn to sit down, I just couldn't stay here do nothing and let her overwork herself

I sat on the bed and hugged her from behind and she grabbed my hands on reflex

"Thank you mom ...for letting me work"

"Hmm"

I pulled away after a few seconds and got down from the bed grinning

"Well I better start going ...will see you when I get back, yes"

"Mmmhmm"

I got up grabbed my stuff and started off my journey

A few minutes I found myself on the bust stand where I took a bus to town, I got a taxi to take me to Potterg street

Mom seemed a little odd now that I thought about it, she usually asks so many questions like where I'll work and for how long

I got none of that today

Something is probably bothering her

The thought was soon forgotten when we entered potterg street, I couldn't help but admire the neighborhood through the window
