"Well she called from Alvinish Fashion Company", I replied making sure to drop at some end in other to get on her nerves.
"Did you just say Alvinish Fashion Company? The Alvinish I know? Why would you receive a call from them?" she asked anxiously.
"Apparently she had some information to give me from the company"
"Spill it already you're getting on my nerves"
"Relax"
"Edna Fabio!!" she is definitely getting impatient from the way she sounds right now.
"Okay. Fine, I will spill. I got a job!!!!!" I replied with a scream and we both started jumping and shouting until we heard the door bell. We smiled at each other as we tried to compose ourselves while the customer approached the counter.
"Giorno beautiful ladies", the customer greeted while standing at the counter.
"Buongiorno, what would you like to have?" I replied
"Cappuccino, please?" he replied with a smile.
"Coming right up. Name please?" I said while Bria starts getting his order.
"Paolo and what's yours beautiful?" Ugh I knew it; he is one of those shameless flirts.
"Sorry, I get to do the asking of names here not you", I replied with a tight smile. "One Cappuccino for Paolo, please", I shouted, wondering why Bria was taking long.
"Here you go", she said walking towards him and handing it over.
"Thanks", he smiled going to take a seat with it in his hands.
"Did he trouble you?" Bria asked while burning her eyes into his back as he sat down at the far end of the café.
"You know I wouldn't let that happen" I replied with a smile as she turned over to face me.
"Where were we?" This statement only made us scream for a few seconds because we remembered we had a customer. "So what job did you get in the Alvinish Fashion Company?" I wish she never asked.
"Cleaner"
"Wait What? A cleaning job? Like you're a cleaner?"
"Amica please don't start"
"What do you mean? You gave me hopes and shattered it at the same time. How are you going to pay off a loan of €1,200,000 with a cleaning job?" she starts off. I know she means well but at least let's be fully happy for once.
"Well, they're paying me a year and six months' salary on my second day of resumption if am good at my job", I had to lie to her. I couldn't tell her that I applied to get a loan from them and would pay back later but they don't see my current work fitting enough for that so they offered me the job. Let's just say although it's a fashion business company it renders help to the members of the pack if the find your reasons fitting since it's owned by the Alpha.
"You can't possibly be serious right now. So you mean you would work for a year and six months without a pay? How would you survive? To think that I was celebrating your gain not knowing I was celebrating your lose", she says in a very disappointed voice. I know she means well but I have this under control why can't she see that?
"Amica I would survive. I have you and my family, so I will survive. It's not like I don't have a roof over my head", I tried to make her see things my way.
"You are not serious, are you? Amica, you can't do this. You won't have anything left except us and it will drain everyone. Who knows if you would even have a roof over your head at the end of that period", she says trying to talk me out of it.
"Bria can we stop talking about this right now, I don't want to think about negative things right now", I said trying to end the conversation.
"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore because it results to nothing anyways", she said giving up. I was about to say something else when the customer walked over to the counter to pay.
"You know telling me your name is not going to kill you?" he said while taking out money from his wallet.
"Listen, am not about to tell you that we werewolves believe in waiting for our mates than you vampires", Bria said trying to shout him up. I must give it to her she's the best.
"You know I can be her mate, right?" he said while handing over the money to her.
"Well you are not so, do not try", she said taking the money from him.
"Have a nice day", he said while leaving.
"We are already on it", she always has an answer to everything, doesn't she. I laughed at my own thoughts.
"You don't always have to be rude, you know"
"And you don't always have to be stubborn, just listen to me".
"Bria I thought we were over this discussion? Can't you let it go?"
"You were over it not we, am not obviously. Until you…"
"Bria!!!"
"Name calling"
"Just stop. Am exhausted already and if you don't stop I will leave you to handle this café all by yourself today", I said trying to frighten her.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Oh try me"
"Dad, mom, I have a new job", I shouted across the room the moment I walked into the house. I was sure they were both home because I saw their foot wears outside. Mom should probably be in the kitchen and dad in the sitting room.
"Really, that's good news", my dad said while dropping his magazine on the table.
"You know you are the reason why she is going through all this trouble right?" mom said while coming out of the kitchen with a tray of plates.
"I didn't ask her to pay my debts, did I?" my dad said nonchalantly.
"Mom please, let us leave it. The good news is that I can pay the debts now and we would be able to live in peace", I said as a matter of fact. I did not want them to have another drama because of me. Dad feels he owes me nothing and I owe him a lot seeing that the adopted me and I have been a shame for not having my wolf and my mate at the age of twenty-one and still have blurry vision taunting me almost every day. Mom on the other hand is drawn between me, her adopted child and her husband, her lovely mate.
