My home (Completed)

9

              "Thanks alot , Jack."I thanked him for like the hundredth time since we had driven out of their mordern large white detached house. If anything it was a half mansion of three stories which highlighted the money their parents had.
               "No problem, if you're Ni's friend, you're my friend."he smiled briefly. "And don't mind my bro's I don't care attitude, he will come around."he added and I nodded.
Bidding him farewell, I climbed down from the Camaro and started down the street. He had dropped me off just ten minutes away from my lodge since he had been visiting a friend somewhere around.
             A poster on a certain diner caught my eyes and I smiled immediately hoping it was what I thought it was and indeed, it was a 'job available'  poster. With a wide grin on my face I pushed the glass doors open. It was a typical Little diner and I could see customers here and there having lunch. Yeah, I had woken up at midday. So I went straight to the lady, who looked to be in late twenties clad in the diner uniform. It was a mid thigh white and black dress on which a black apron was fitted around her waist, a hairnet and kitten heels. She was just from serving and made for the kitchen when I stopped her.
               "Excuse me, good afternoon ma'am." I greeted politely which she returned with a small smile, she looked tired.
            "Is the manager in?"I asked and when she raised her eye brows in question I added,"I would like to apply for the job. I saw a poster outside."
       She asked me to wait as she called him. So I took in my surroundings as I waited patiently though I had my stomach rumble loudly, yeah I had only taken a glass of water at the twins house and declined the offer of breakfast. So maybe I could eat here before I left, I was sure I had some money on me.

            "Come in."the chubby light guy said rotating in his swivel office chair. I could see him through the glass door. The lady that had introduced as Lena had led me to the back after confirming that he was in. So I pushed the door open and stepped inside. The guy looked me up and down and the smirk on his face was clear. That made me feel uncormfortable but I pushed that aside and forced a smile as I greeted. He motioned for me to sit down.
               "Uh, sir I am here to apply for a job as a waitress."I re echoed my reason. He nodded still smirking.
              "Name?"
             "Primrose Kenaza."I felt like I had been introducing myself alot lately, I guess it's because am in a foreign town. He nodded and smiled at me instantly.
              "The job is yours." What? No interview or something. I looked at him quizically and he laughed heartily.
          "Your the only applicant and we need a waitress straight away so your starting today, right now." What?But I agreed since it was so hard finding a job.

He led me to the change rooms, gave me a uniform which ended mid thigh and a hair net. Then left after telling me to go to Lena and she would assist me start straight away.

         And after a briefing from Lena that for today I would just get orders, I had started. I had noticed that we were only two waitreses and two chefs in the kitchen who had greeted me politely. One a man the other a lady both looked to in late thirties or older. And I tell you it was tiresome walking around all the while. I worked until 10pm in the night and closed up since it weren't a twenty four hour diner. They actually left me to close up, I had to clean the tables, mop the floor, clean the kitchen then close up the front and back door and leave with keys which meant I had to be at work early the next day. God, by the time I reached my room I was dying of fatigue, it was as though they were overworking me, I mean who does all that on just their first day. With only the youghurt I had eaten during by my 15minutes break I dozed off as soon as I had collapsed on to my bed.

               It had been four days since I had started working and it wasn't exactly pleasant. There were times when Lena didn't call in for work and I had to serve alone, topping up with closing up and all the chores before closing up. Literally I worked from 8am to 10pm and including the closing up process I would get to the lodge at 11pm. They paid daily and though it wasn't much I had convinced myself that it was better than nothing. What made me worried though was the way the manager checked me out all the time and kept on smirking at me. What the heck? The fact that the uniform hardly covered my thighs didn't help at all.
      

           I made my way to the last table on Friday night and the customers beamed at me. Looking closely, it was Niveah, Sona, Lucy and Carl who was busy on his phone .
             "Why didn't you say you worked here, then I  would eat here everyday?"asked Ni.
              "Well, I didn't see you guys anywhere again after the party."I mumbled. "So how would I communicate?" I added. Carl looked up, I guessed to see who they were talking to then returned to his phone.
            "Well, we are having a sleep over tomorrow night at the apartment, you should join us."beamed Lucy. Well it seemed these two girls were hell bent on making me their friend and it felt nice that they wanted me to be their friend so I nodded smiling back. And started on their orders straight away .
