Ebony

Chapter 3

It's been a week since I left home for 🙄Aunty Pam's house.
To say it's been hell would be an understatement.
I knew I wasn't coming to her house to have fun or be free from boredom but I wasn't really expecting to be treated this way. I mean I'm her niece for  Chrissake.

According to my mum,people don't treat each other badly where we originated from (Nigeria) especially family .
I wonder what's wrong with my aunt.

Aunty Pam is a widow whose husband left her a ship load of money after his death.
She has 2 children twins (a boy and a girl )that are my age and thinks they own the world and everyone else in it don't matter . Imagine me a girl from the poorer side of town with cheap cloths and shoes and no money coming to live with them...

My life just took a one way ticket to VIP hell.
So far I've been the maid,chef,laundry girl & errand girl.

I can't tell my mum because she wouldn't believe me and would think I'm just making things up to leave her sister's house.
I'm currently doing the dishes after lunch which I didn't even taste even though I made it.

I really need to get a job cause I don't think I'd be getting money from my aunt and I need money to get some necessities.
I think I'll look for a job but I'll have to tell the mistress of evil first.

"EBONY!!!"

Here we go again!
Yay!!!!🙄

"Yes aunty" I answered

"You need to start paying for accommodation and feeding by next week,how you do it I don't know" she said .

Ohh how much I want to strangle this stupid woman with the stupid pearls on her fat stupid neck that look like 5 corn dogs wrapped together... stupid! stupid!! stupid woman!!!
Okay that's a lot of stupid in one sentence.

With my best 'good girl' face I said

"Yes ma'am"

"I can't be accommodating you for free like I run some kinda charity organization,your dumb mother should have known that before she dumped your smelly self in my house"

Bitch! First off, don't you dare talk about my mother like that. In your life!!!!

"Okay ma'am"

Lol 😂
Of course I didn't confront her out loud but trust me when I say I really want to shove her dirty tongue down her throat.

2 hours later

I'm soo tired,I've been walking for a while now on the streets looking for a job but all I get is

"blah blah no vacancy blah blah"

And the ones where there are vacancies don't pay well. I know I know beggars don't have a choice but I really need the money and if I'm going to be working for it, it has to be worth my while.

Ohhh wait a minute I think I see a sign that says 'help needed'. I'll try this one out and if it doesn't fall through, I'll call it a day.

Entering the establishment, it doesn't look fancy or anything I discover that it's a fast food restaurant.
I walk up to the counter and ask the lady standing there looking like she's tired of living (yeah I know the look, I see it everyday in my mirror) if help is still needed and she looks up with her dull eye and tells me
"Yeah it is,do you need a job?"

Her voice sounds like squidward from spongebob when he's having a bad day. I had to hold in my laugh cause she even looks like squidward with the way she was looking at me.
Ohh how much I miss my home and watching spongebob , Aunty Pam (mistress Of Evil) won't allow my watch TV at all.

I'm about to answer the counter squidward lady when the back door of the restaurant opens to let in a...god.

MY GOODNESS!!!

This boy is definitely going to hell cause it's a big sin to be this perfect.

He's just arghhhhh soo handsome.

He's definitely a black but light skinned black and he has the bluest eyes I've ever seen on a black person, I mean is the color even real or... you know what I don't care. He's tall about 6'2 and he's body ohhhhh don't get me started on his body! It's the definition of a sculpted masterpiece.

Ohh hol up hol up!!!
Is that a tattoo I see?
I think the tattoo is a...

"Excuse me miss"
Who's interrupting my dream?
Get thee behind me satan!

As I was saying I think the tatt...

"EXCUSE ME MISS!"
Ohh wait I'm not dreaming, I'm actually in public beautifully disgracing myself in front of my newly employed actor for my late night dreams😏

"I'm so sorry, what was it you asked me again?" I answered .

The lady rolls her eyes at me and I'm actually surprised she's capable of human actions different from her zombie look.

"I asked if you're interested in the job"she said.

"What is the job exactly?"

"It's a cleaning job, you wipe down tables after customers use them, you make sure the cups and cutlery are clean before they're given to customers and so on"

Ohh okay that doesn't sound so bad.

"Uhmm sandy,my shift's over so I'm heading off now. See you tomorrow"

I heard a voice which seems to be coming from heaven.
I've totally forgotten about my fantasy boyfriend.
He looks at me and waves.
Yes He waved and no I didn't imagine it

"Bye beauty"
Someone catch me pls cause I think I'm about to fall right now!!!

Was it this hot when I entered or what!

Okay okay I'm definitely taking the job.
I wouldn't mind see that work of art everyday.

I filled out all the necessary information and left the shop after being told the time I come in to work and what to wear.

I guess my day wouldn't end badly after all.

...
Phewwww that was a bit longer than my previous chapters. I hope you enjoyed it.
