"You can't do this!" tears streamed down my face.
I can't believe this was happening to me. What did I ever do to deserve this? I always helped out
The best I could. I took on two jobs, I prepared food, I helped the people who were even less
Fortunate than us so why?
Why had I been sold for marriage?
Pause.
Let me rewind and explain how I got to that tragic moment in time. It started of as a normal day, Well atleast, what I'd call normal.
I got up exceptionally late for work and scrambled out of bed and into the bathroom in a hurry. I
Quickly took a shower and brushed my teeth before putting on some lotion and tossing on a
Plain white T- shirt and black jeans with my beat up sneakers. It was the best I had.
I put my hair up in a pony tail and ran down the hall to the kitchen where my mum held a small
Cup of tea with a smile.
"Your tea, " I take it with a greatful smile and kiss her cheek.
"Love you, " I grab my fliphone and dash outside and nearly ran to work.
If we had the money for a car I'd take it. I was 19-years-old. I was told I didn't do normal things
Girls my age did, like go out and have fun. Go find a boyfriend.
Truth was, I didn't have time for any of that. With two jobs and school, that proved hard to do.
My parents made a low income and with them old they couldn't do much so as soon as I hit the
Age that allowed for work I set out for a job. But it seemed dispite all my efforts we were still
Near losing our home. We barley ate much because we were saving to pay this months bill, Sometimes our water would shut off and I'd have to go take a shower at my work place.
Despite all of this I couldn't say I felt bitter about it all. As long as I had my parents and the small
Group of friends I had, I was content.
I slipped inside the tea place I worked in and rushed to the back room where I put on my brown
Apron that had my name engraved on the top right. I clock in and turn to go when April, a good
Friend I had here, stops me.
"Emmie, you're late...again, " she scolds lightly. She was co-manager.
"I'm so sorry. It's just, I have so much to do with school and another job. I try but-"
"Emilia, manager said he's had enough of it, " she pauses, face filled with guilt. My stomach
Drops, "Todays your last day."
"Wha-I, please tell me your joking, " I plead desperately, my eyes stinging with unshed tears.
"I wish I could, " she gives me one more sympathetic look before taking off.
I stand there, heart beating fast. What would I do? My other job didn't pay nearly as much as
This one did. Sighing, I wipe at my eyes and head out with my notes and pencil in hand. Maybe
My last pay check would be enough to pay this months bill.
Fakely smiling I head out to take orders for this lovely couple sitting by the windows. The way
The man looked into the woman's eyes conveyed just how much he loved her and the woman
Looked as if cupid himself hit her with his arrow.
I sighed, sometimes even I wanted something like that.
After taking there orders I went on my way to take others when a man in an overly expensive
Suit entered. His hair was styled to perfection, his creamy brown eyes expressionless. His light
Pink lips were pulled into a thin line and clinging to him was a woman in a sky blue dress that
Clung to her, hugging her in the right places.
Her dyed blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders and onto her breast in tight ringlet curls.
Makeup covered her face, large earrings dangle from her ear, and white high heels sit under her
Feet.
Their entrance captured the attention of everyone in the small tea café. Many were murmuring
About them, some just stared but it didn't seem like the two cared much about the people who
Stared at them as if they were wild animals in a zoo. The woman ate up the attention she was
Receiving and even went as far as to flip her hair, stick out her chest onto the mans shoulder and
Smile adoringly at the people.
"Waitress, " the woman snaps her fingers, her gaze meeting mine.
Blinking, I slowly move over to their table almost nervously. They screamed expensive!
As I stood in front of their table the woman blindly ordered our sweet tea with low fat sugar and
Claimed it to be for the both of them. The man didn't seem to care for he was far to busy on his
Expensive looking gold phone.
I nodded and turned away quickly before dashing to the back where I'm immediately given the
Tea they ordered just moments ago. I raise my eyebrow skeptically at Ralph, our tea maker.
"Had the water boiling to a temperature as soon as they stepped foot in here. Now hurry, if they
Give us a bad report we're done for, " he shoos me out.
I speed walk back to their table where the man is still on his phone and the woman talks
Endlessly. I lay their tea on the table and the woman looks up giving me a bright smile.
"Have a nice day, " I speak softly and the mans head instantly lifts from his phone and focuses
On me. I freeze as his eyes bore into mine as if I was his only focus at this time.
His brown eyes intimidate me into wanting to back down and go into hiding but for some reason, Some odd reason, I just stand and stare at him as he stares at me. My heart pounds in what I
Suspect is nervousness.
"Alton, " the woman breaks me out of whatever trans I was in. I blink before a blush spreads out
On my face, the man-Alton, continues to stare in perplexity.
"Um now will go I, " I shake my head and blush harder but turn and rush off into the back area
Where I take off my apron. April rushes inside, eyes wide in excitement.
"What the hell was that?" she asks, taking off her apron and white shirt and putting on an
Expensive looking Polo shirt.
"I don't even know myself, " I shrug, heart still pounding. He was so weird.
"Who is he anyways, " I murmur.
