The New Maid by HikariOneeSan
HOT
Hot.
“I wish I had the money to fix my air conditioning.”
“Maybe you should find a job.”
Maybe she’s right.
Yum!
“Lemonade is always delicious in the summer, don’t you think, Sango?”
“Yeah it’s great Kagome, but it’s too sweet this time.”
No it’s not.
“Well excuse me for liking sweet lemonade.”
“I’ll make it next time, too much sugar and not enough lemon when you do it.”
“Oh just go home if all your going to do is complain.”
“Humph…maybe I will.”
Sip…sip..sip.clink
She got up as soon as the glass hit the table.
She walked out.;
I’m alone.
I put my head down.
Closed my eyes.
Its dark.
Its been hours.
Knock. Knock. Knock!
“What?!” I snapped.
Opps it was Miroku.
I never got up to lock the door.
“What’s got you so angry?”
Shrug.
“Have you seen my beloved Sango?” He’s only kidding. She keeps rejecting him.
“She left…”
“hehehe” He chuckled softly.
“What’s so funny?”
Don’t laugh at me.
“She’s probably at the bar, see you later.”
“Bye.” He’s gone.
Actually Sango and I are best friends, sisters even, but we are so close that we fight sometimes. Actually this happens about once a month and it’s always something stupid. Oh well, I’ll just go and apologize for telling her to leave tomorrow.
It’s still hot.
I’m going to bed.
DingDong Ding Dong Ding Dong
What now?
Grabbed the clock.
7:08am
AND it’s Saturday.
Who the hell could it be.
“Hold On!” at least that’s what I meant to say but the sleepiness was affecting my speech so much, I’m not even sure that was English.
I got up.
Threw on some sweatpants.
Walked sleepily to the door.
Sango.
“Morning!” She smiled, held up a bag.
Juice, bagels, butter, cream cheese, the bag had a smiley face on it.
It’s to early for happiness, I was disgusted.
Obviously she felt my bad vibe, walked past me, put the bag on the table, “Cream cheese or butter.” we aren’t angry at each other anymore now.
We ate in silence, watched the little TV on my kitchen counter.
“A newspaper?” I saw it in the bottom of the bag .
“No a flyer.” She threw it at me.
I laughed. My mood is getting better.
“You want money right, that job pays good, really good, you’ll be rich in no time, seriously. I went down to that job place and someone gave me that flyer.”
I read it.
It was a job for a maid. Basically the job was to clean some rich guys mansion for the summer, but not just cleaning, it was all the works, cooking, watching the kid, watching the house when nobody was around, it included living there for the summer. Sounded boring BUT $4ooo a week. AWEEK!! not just for the summer but every week! I was probably drooling just thinking about it. I was already counting it in my head.
4000 x 10 (weeks of work) = 40000
40000 + (about) 200 (what I am left with now after paying rent this month and some of my college loans, so pathetic, and I haven‘t even bought most of my furniture or any food. Parents are so mean and useless…anyway) = A LOT OF MONEY!
I would be rich well rich until I paid all my bills. Then I would probably be back to 200 since my mom refused to help me save money for college and well I have spending issues sometimes.
The point is that I just found myself the perfect job (well Sango found it for me). If there is one thing I know how to do its housekeeping. I have always cooked for my little brother and cleaned everything because I just hate mess. “THIS IS PERFECT!”
“Isn’t it.” Sango watched me carefully nodding like she knew what my reaction would be. “Here’s an application, take it to the mansion tomorrow. I hear the guy is really mean though so nobody wants the job but if you want the money badly enough I think you can handle it. Besides he’s a really important businessman he’s probably never home.” I hardly heard her as I snatched the paper out her hand.
“Oh this is great I can’t wait.”
“I’m gonna go, I told my boss I would take the early shift at the bar today but I wanted to go shopping first. I need new shoes bad, and you know how long it takes me to buy shoes.”
“Yeah yeah yeah, bye”
Squeal!
I jumped and laid back on my couch. I’ll take a nap before I fill this out.
