In My Dreams

Chapter1- Just Me

Kring... Kring... Kring.....

The clock keeps on ringing but I don't want to shut it off. I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep. How I want to do that but I know I'll be dead if I do that so I have no choice but to get up and stare at the ringing clock and shut it off.

I stared at the ceiling and thought how will I escape this hell of life? How I wish someone would come and rescue me. But that's so impossible to dream of so I got up and walk to the bathroom to have a quick shower and prepare myself for another long hell of a day.

I quickly go down stairs to prepare for breakfast while the others is still sleeping. I check the fridge and end up cooking some bacons and scrambled eggs. While I was still preparing the table claire was already there sitting and looking at me.

"Good morning, how's your sleep? " I said then back at preparing the table.

"Nah kinda' bad, can I have a coffee? " She demanded

I quickly make her one and give it to her. "Here's your coffee claire".

"You know I'm always wondering why won't you come with me every saturday night to the bar? Have a life dear cousin, you're not getting any younger dear".

I paused and shrugged in front of her. " You know I'm not a fan of those clubs claire. "

She faked a laugh and said " You know you're 23 already jeez you haven't even had any relationship and never been laid-"

"GOD CLAIRE that's not your life to think of, and you know me it's better to love myself than have any company." Yeah as if someone's gonna love me like I wish he could.

"You're so boring. Nobody's gonna love you oh no let me rephrase that. No man -"

"Oh claire please, if that man comes my way then he will if not then let it be. Let the cupid do the work I'm not in a rush" yes yes yes I am, I am in a rush. I wanted to feel how to be inlove. I wonder how it feels when a man loves you more than you ever wish.

"Uh-okay but I just want you to know that if you need some help to find that - I mean how to hook a man then I'm here at your service couz. " She said and take a sip of her coffee

"Oh thank you but I love my self, MYSELF, Just myself ". But if that man comes I'm ready to love him wholly.

"Oh you're crazy! you're going to die virgin you woman trust me your life's so boring", she rolled her eyes

I just laugh at her and sat beside her while thinking about what she had said earlier. Yes, my life might be so boring to your eyes. I don't even know why I hate clubbing and hanging outs claire my couzin is one of my closest friend I have. Since my mom and dad broke up when I was 5 .

I was forced to lived here with my aunt she had 3 kids Claire's the only girl and she's the youngest and she's also about my age. well yes, that's why we're so close like true siblings do. My aunt loves me in fact the whole family loves me . They were popular and so am I since I lived with them. My aunt owns a jewelry shop and at the same time she is a designer too. While her husband Rob owned a huge company here in New York City a CEO of Cunningham-kings Industries. If you were wondering why I acted like a maid Yes and No. Yes, you can call me a maid but No, I am not a maid. We have maids here in the house to do the works but for me as an exchange of the kindness that the family showed me I serve them every sunday.

I graduated my college last year and my aunt decided to have me in her jewelry shop since she doesn't want me to work. Cause for her why work when I already have everything I want and need? That's so stupid right? Every single human being loves to work like you need to work to live and survive but in my position work is prohibited.

I quickly ran upstairs after noticing the time it's already 9 in the morning. Well, as if I have loads of works to be done there but no I just want to act like busying myself. I want to experience being tired of working. I'm 23 but I am still unemployed many times I attempt to apply jobs and many times I attempt to talk to my aunt and Rob just to give me some work but they always refused. So, my life is a cycle of home, eat, sleep, watching movies, spent a day at the jewelry shop and went straight at home. Hell right? You cannot do anything you want to happen in your life because you're being watched in every move you make. So, that is how popular life is.

My name's Ara 23 years of age, I live somewhere in the city of New York and single. Living a hell yet wonderful life with the Cunningham the very well-known wealthy family.

I glanced back at the clock on the wall it's near 10 am. I made my way to the door and found my driver waiting for me outside.

"Good Morning, Ms. Ara, How's your sleep? ", The driver greeted me and opens the car door for me to enter.

"Good Morning too, Jordan I'm good how about you?",

"I'm good too miss.", he smiled

"That's good to hear! Thinks everybody is having a Wonderful day today isn't it"?,

"Well yes, To see a beautiful lady like you makes everyone's day beautiful."

"Oh! Jeez stop flattering me Jordan I'm no beauty I'm only me. Just me. "

"OH okay, so where to miss?", He asked then placing his hand on the steering wheel.

"To the Jewelry shop. "

He smiled then starts the engine and roared the car to life. I arrive at exactly 10:15. Beatrice is already waiting for me she looked at me and her smile widen she ran to me and hugged me.

"I thought you're not going to show up today! ", she said

"Uh-uh what makes you think that? " , I said

"It's already 10am my dear and you never came in this hour. ", yes, you were right! I never came in this late if only you'd know that I have lots of things going on my mind.

"Well, let's just say there is always a first time, I think. ", I sighed

She smiled at me and said" Yes, there's always a first time. So, because you're late I'm leaving you with these papers today! " ,

I looked at the papers on her hands and asked" what's with that papers?",

"Well, these papers are from no other than JM&Jewelry Business. They are planning to make a contract I mean they want to be partners with us. " she handed me the papers and smiled.

"And? What will I do with these papers? Wait- you mean the famous JM&Jewelry -", I was cut short with a loud laugh.

"YES, YES, the only one and only. You know what this is awesome ara!", I don't know what to say to her but I'm so happy for her. I trully am happy for her.

"So, what to do with these papers? "

She looked at me and said " Well, all you need to do is read them and after that make a copy of that contract and give them back to me. " she announced

"And that's all? " I looked at her not knowing if what I hear was true. Well, in fact this is the first time she ask me to do something in this shop aside from being with her everyday.

She clears her throat and said" Yes, and don't forget to call me when you leave this evening ok?"

I blinked and said " Okay ",

She smiled at me and hugged me again then she grabbed her purse and left. Good luck for me today! I guess I'm on my own today, I looked at the papers on my hand and sighed this is gonna be a long day.
