Wild Crazy Love

Alexis POV

I sighed frustrated walking to a nearby provision shop to get a bottle of water to quench my thirst.

"One bottle of water please" I said to the lady, she nodded and gave me a bottle.

"Thank you" i muttered to the lady and paid

I opened the bottle hurriedly and gulped down the content disposing off the bottle in a waste basket i saw by the side of the road , i flagged down a cab and got in.

"Pearls lane" i said to the cab man

He nodded and drove off.

****

"Ma'am we are here" the cab man said jerking me out of my thoughts.

I nodded and got out of the car , paid the man and walked inside the house.

"Oh my gosh, i'm so exhausted" I whined . I flung the file in my hands on the center table and sank into the chair immediately.

My mom walked out of the kitchen cleaning her wet hands.

"How did it go" she asked sitting beside me.

"Same old story , the position is taken " I muttered

"Don't worry , you'll find the right job"my mom patted my back.

"When i'm old right" i murmured.

"Hey cheer up" my mom smiled trying to cheer me up. I only nodded, sincerely i was tired of going for job interviews and not been taken, not that i wasn't good.

"A messaged popped in your phone"

"I will check that later" i waved her off and made to stand.

"It might be an email from a company , you never might tell"

"An email telling me , I can't have the job" I asked

"Lex....i have never known you to be this negative" my mom said looking at me.

"Whatever" i murmured and picked up my phone.

I clicked on the message, it was a mail from a company i had applied for some weeks ago, i had gone for the interview and hadn't received a mail or message from them , and had put it on my usual *Taken list*.

"Oh my gosh" I screamed after reading the mail , almost throwing my phone away . I had just gotten the job and was asked to resume by eight tomorrow for clarification.

"I got the job, I got the job" i screamed in excitement .

"You see, i told you...so which of them did you get" my mom asked.

"The one in HuxC , i applied for it some weeks ago, i have to resume very early tomorrow for clarification" i said

"That's nice to hear, congratulations " my mom beamed.

"Thank you mum" i smiled and

gave her a quick hug before i dashed to my room.

I had a lot to do.

****

"Mum " I greeted taking my seat at the dining table .

"Where's dad" i asked my mom who dropped a plate of rice salad for me.

"He's not yet back from work" she replied sitting opposite me.

"It's late already , he should have been back by now" I replied worriedly

Dad never stays this late, I wonder what's wrong.

"Don't worry dear, he's alright" mom assured

I only nodded and we began to eat our food.

Soon we were done with our dinner. I packed the plates to the kitchen and washed it clean. I came out some minutes later and dried my wet hands with a napkin.

"Lex, I'm leaving" my mom called from the living room, she was dressed in her usual nurse clothes, hanging her bags over her shoulder.

My mom is a nurse in one of the popular hospitals here in Texas, and sometimes she had night shifts , that meant she had to work overnight, I was already used to it, but most of the time my dad is always at home with me.

"And uhm....your dad just texted to tell me he won't be coming home tonight" mom said opening the door to leave.

"Is there something wrong" I asked

"No "

"Make sure to lock all the doors and windows before going to bed, also switch off all the lights , okay?"

"Mom, I'm no longer a kid you know, I know all these things" I shrugged at her statement, she has always been reminding me of this things since I was a little kid.

"Okay , bye , take care" my mom added blowing me a kiss, which I caught. I smiled before shutting the door.

I sat in the living room staring at the wall, i couldn't wait to resume work,

'I wonder how my boss would look like'

Taking a deep breath, i walked to the windows and locked it, switched off all the lights before retiring to my room.

I closed the door gently and walked to the bed.

I lay on the bed , spreading the blankets over myself, i put off the bedside lamp before drifting off to sleep.

****

I jumped off the bed like i was chased in my sleep. I turned around and checked the time.

"What" i yelled getting on my feet immediately.

It was 7:30 am and i had to resume by 8:00 am , how had i slept this late.

I dashed to the bathroom to take my bath. I hurriedly brushed my teeth .

Some minutes later , i was out , i applied my body lotions and put on my clothes, grabbing my bag and sandals,I hurried out of my room .

I quickly put on my sandals and checked my bag to make sure i didn't leave anything behind, when i was sure i didn't, i grabbed my bag and walked out of the house.

I kept the key in the flower vase by the door . luckily for me, i sighted a cab , i flagged it down and got in.

"Venus avenue" i said shutting the door.

"Yes ma'am" the driver said and drove off.

I glanced at my wristwatch .

"Great" I muttered

I was able to pull it off in less than thirty minutes, well that was because i didn't have breakfast. I just hope i get there on time and not having breakfast is worth it.......
