Chapter 1 RUSHING THROUGH MORNING
16, 17, 18 ,19 and 20
And I am officially late again I thought to myself staring at the mouse eared clock on the three legged table wedged by two of my textbooks from college it's not very pretty I know but hey it gets the job done
I rush into the bathroom packing my hair into a very messy bun spinning around the tiny space looking for my pink flamingo toothbrush finding it I squeezed the little bit of toothpaste unto my brush shoving it in my mouth bad brushing furiously before spitting it out and rinsing my mouth thoroughly I run back into my room kneeling as I rapidly search for the white button down tee shirt I folded neatly last night after air drying it in my tiny cupboard ... apparently it has developed legs and walked away because I cannot find it
I take of my bunny print pj shorts and run into the bathroom again cleaning up and washing my face there would he no luxury of a shower for me today
I stare at the mouse eared clock one more time as I force myself into my black flare pants how can I add weight at a time like this I say as I huff out bits of my hair that framed my face as it falls out of quickly done ponytail earlier
I turn around finally able to fit into my pants as I start looking for my shoes this simply cannot just be happening
finally catching sight of my black worn out flats I shove my feet into them still looking for my white tee as I put on my watch and put my hair in a bun
it's not exactly professional but it's the best I can do with -10 minutes to get to work
I put on some lipgloss and spritz my self with a bottle of perfume I got on sale for 1.59 dollars
I cannot afford to irritate any customers with the Smell of my body I readjust my lens and see my white tee buried under the pile of clothes I just
pulled out of the cupboard
what the
I grab the shirt and run down the staircase as I try to button it correctly
then I bump into my sister mia who is carrying some apples
"ow" she grimaced as she grabs hold of her forehead
"Are you late again?" she says, looking at me from her hand on her forehead."
"sorry mi I have to go I love you bye " I say grabbing hold of one if the apples and taking a big bite
"and tell Ma I love her " I called out before opening the door grabbing my little bag and running out of the house
I start running as fast as my legs carry me to the coffee shop just few blocks away from where I live as I collide with several people on the street who cuss and swear at me
New York not the place to run late got it
"good day Mrs kateolen " I greet my neighbor by a few blocks and speed into the back door of my coffee shop
colliding with a thick chest almost immediately
"whoooaaaa slow down nay you're going to get a concussion"
I look up at Aiden my colleague at the coffee shop
he's a 6,1 slim built guy with dirty blonde short hair and the palest blue eyes I'd ever seen
"I'm sorry Aiden ,is madam S here "
"yes she Is, but sarah is filling in for you,
hurry the man at table 6 needs plain coffee just plain "
I nod as I grab the spare apron by the door handle and tie on my waist
"thanks Aiden" I hug him as I walk towards table 6 and serve him his coffee already on the counter
smiling at the elderly man as he nods a thank you and grips his coffee cup
I turn around and head towards the kitchen
"ohhh sarahhhh" I say in a sing song voice
"back here " I follow her voice to the part of the kitchen where the oven and freshly baked goods are she's stuffing a pink cupcake in her mouth
"Sarah you sweet toothed moron ,what if madam S walks in ?" I say as I take the remains of her cupcake and trash it in the waist bin "
"why are you late " she says with her mouth full
"bad night at the bar yesterday got home 5am girl " i say staring at the cupcake platter as remember my hasty breakfast apple this morning
"Rogers being a dick again?" she asks wiping her hands on her apron
"when is he not " I answer laughing at the round man that owns the bar always torturing me
