'Angel Your food is getting cold.'

I heard footsteps coming up to my bedroom.

'get your ass down before i get your dad' mom shouted at as she open the door.

'Give me 10 minutes ma. Gotta finish up ordering stocks'i look at my mom over my shoulder. I can tell that she's irritated by the clicks on my keyboard. putting her hand on her hips and she started scolding at me again.

I completely ignored her rants and quickly finish up listing down orders before dragona here start breathing out fire on me.

'Ok mom you can stop' i got up to my seat and go into my bathroom to wash my face and and do some pep talk to my self. just a lil reminder that im a bad ass.

I look so pale. When did the last time i got out and feel the sun on my skin. Im naturally tan but ever since i started my online businesses my skin got paler well ofcourse dumb ass! You did nothing but sit across your computer everyday and ignored your mom when she said that you need an actual fucking job.

But this is the job i want.

I started this from scratch, i poured my heart and my time for this to work. And i wont just give up now that i actually got orders. I have a plan when everything goes perfect and orders are gonna keep comming im gonna have enough money to finally open up a clothing store. And I'll do whatever it takes to make that dream come to life. They say determine women is dangerous. Well i guess i am.

I got out and see that my mom is cleaning my room she does that when she's stressed out.

'You miss the spot right there' i tease.

I was raised by this women alone but ever since i was young i consider my uncle my dad and his wife my mommy. And i call my biological mother mama she's a Filipina that's  why she loves scolding so much and hates it when you don't eat. I guess thats the thing about us filipinos we always believe that blessing such as food shouldn't be just ignored you need to be bless even if it just cereal and water. Thank like its a fieast on your table.

I ran to her and hug her. I'm always this clingy to mama she sigh and wrap her arms around me. 'I thought your mad'

'I thought so too.' I let out a cuckle. Pulling out from the hug she face me 'your getting a job'.

Horror filled my face. Because i know when mama gets serious you better do it or its gonna be bloody.

'We talk about this ma. Im not getting a job i don't do well on having a boss. You know my big mouth always gets me in trouble you don't want me in jail for kicking someone's balls right?'

I just graduated last year. My college life wasn't pleasing at all. People there just stick there noses on everybody's business and talk shit about it. As for me i didn't like it when people label me as slut for just dating to well known varsity players. I didn't even fuck them. Yes i am a virgin dont ask why. So i learn the hard why to survive i stood up for myself and as quick as that i from a slut to a bitch. And from there i realize whatever you do people always have something to say to you. So i ignored them like there just bacteria or something.

'No your dad and I think it's best for you. Rather than just typing all day and walking so lifeless after.' I gigle. But me getting a job not gonna happen.

We head down stairs to see dad and mom on the table with there almost finish breakfast.

'Oh good morning sunshine' mommy greeted. You probably asking why are we living together. Well they can't have a child because of some issues. So they treated me like their own. They also help mama raised me financially since we're broke.

'Sit we need to talk' dad said looking up on his news paper. If this is about getting me a job still not gonna happen.

I sat down in silence because like any other morning talks with parents this is where you; the child would just blink and don't talk unless you're told too and if you talk you get scolded for talking back.

'Your getting you a job.'and they all look to me like they actually want me to agree with them. I shake my head in objection.

'Hon you need this. You need experience' mommy said holding my hand she's such a softy but that won't change my mind either.

'Guys, you know im running business right? And getting a job means letting go of everything i work hard for it and i just don't want everything to go to waste' i swear I'm about to cry. I'm always so sensitive to things like this. But i hold back my tears and still stand on my choice.

'Who said about giving up your online store?' Mama said on my back.

'well help getting everything done from getting stocks to delivering them, you don't have give it up' mommy added.
'Angel, we know your working hard for that but you need to work so that somehow you can use that degree you finish. Don't let it go to waste' They got me right there. They actually have a point surviving college is not the easiest thing to do.

'Alright all of you, IM GETTING A JOB' they all smile. And we started having talks that involve dad and his toys. I mean his car tools.

Smiling to my family. this beautiful people mean so much to me. I would do anthing for them. They gave me so much in life. Now its my turn to gave them a life they deserve.
