1043 Words
Bella POV; The gentle light seeps through the window and illuminate my whole bedroom. Cool breeze flows, making my hair ruffles and making me snuggle more into my soft pillow and then there comes a voice more like a tremulous sound of tractor running over a bumpy road shaking and quavering every single bone in my body and yes sorry to exaggerate but the voice of my very old but still workable, Jerry the mouse, alarm clock, indicating that I am again late for my work. My eyes flutter open and take a look at the sight of my room. There's not much about my room to describe just a single plain bed, a plain brown worn out sofa, a wooden desk with my very old mini Dell laptop with luckily internet service, and my most favorite thing, yes a cupboard.  Though there's not much in it except for two pair of pants with four tops and two dresses that I bought on 50% sale from ZARA and one pair of joggers, one pair of flats and my very favorite black heels.  Still I am a girl, who truly loves all those girly girls outfits and makeup. Though very sadly and unluckily I cannot afford them . My alarm clock again rang breaking my chain of thoughts and making me rush to the washroom . Damn....! I am so dead . After a quick shower I changed into my 3 years old skinny jeans and a beige top applying minimum amount of makeup with only pink L'Oreal lipstick and Essence mascara, I looked at myself in mirror, Ah you are Queen of beauty babe! Praising myself to my heart content,I rushed out of my room only to see my aunt June sleeping on the couch with TV on. She must have slept here last night. My aunt is really a sweet lady in her early 40's.She works as a nanny at an Agency. She has been my guardian since the death of my parents in tragic car accident, when I was 14.  Oh I forgot to introduce myself I'm Bella Miller. Age 22. Just graduated from university with the great help of my aunt and part me jobs, Still struggling hard to find a good job . Sigh.... My parents were poor but content with their life . My father worked as a mechanic and my mom as housewife. I'm there only child. They loved and cherished me to no end. They died in a car accident leaving me alone in this cruel world. I really miss them. There had been many nights, I cried for them to be here with me but life has been cruel.  After them my only aunt my mother's sister, June, who's not married took me in her wings and I love her to no end and same for her . I am currently work at the Shawn bakery as a waitress.Ugh. I so hate this job. There's no respect for workers at that place.No one cares if a customer slaps you on butt or tries to touch you inappropriately. They freaking think it's their right to do anything, if they are paying for eating a tasteless s**t there.  But I have no other option but to work there. Sometimes, I feel if only we had money no problem would come our way. Sigh! Currently, we are having a bit of money problems. It's not as if we never have but this time it's completely nerve wrecking. How I wish we never had any problems at all. Only if...... I made myself breakfast and placed aunt's breakfast in oven and quickly ran out to only see that the bus is already gone. Damn life.... Not having enough money to hail a cab, I walked to my destination. After 15 minutes, I reached at Shawn's bakery only to greet my very angry boss waiting for me at the entrance of bakery. Can this day get any more better?! I sighed exhausted as I knew, I will be receiving a good scolding from Mr. Shawn. "Miller, in my office," Mr. Shawn aka my boss voice boomed "NOW!" With weak steps knowing that what's waiting for me there, I walked into the bakery to his office. "Mr. Shawn, I am really sorry. I-I truly missed my bus today. I promise it won't happen again. Please forgive me this time," I pleaded but I guess luck isn't on my side today as always its against me! "Ms. Miller, it's not the first time its happening. I'm sorry but no I can't afford such tardiness. I have forgiven you many times but not anymore. I am sorry you can show your self out." Mr. Shawn said in high stern voice making it clear that there's no room for argument. No I can't lose the job not now at least! "Uh please Mr. Shawn please do understand my financial crises right now are not very well. I really do need this job please."I played my last card hoping he really buys it. But no, never anything can happen in my favor, he just nod, a freaking dismissive nod. Oh Common! you can give a last chance but no damn this world! Oh how I wish I could kidnap him and torture him for all the extra work he made me do and all the taunting he did and then burn both his stupid shitty bakery and house with him inside. Relax bel, no need to get hyper over this oldie! relax babe relax..... Only if I had money I would never have begged him or to anyone .Cruel world...! Without any more arguments, I walked out of cafe but not before giving him my most deathly glare with hatred full in it.   Tardiness, what the fish!I mean, I miss my bus that's all and what he did, fires me?!  Ugh old freak!!  At once a flood came and whisked me out my thoughts with a jerk.  Oh no it wasn't a flood but some i***t who was racing his damn car very fast not caring about poor people walking on road side and bathing them with puddle sticky dirty water on the road.  I was completely drenched and so damn angry.  The posh car stopped a little bit far from where I stand. Oh God! Can my day be any more worse than this? The car's door opened and a man stepped out of it and there I was like, OH MY GOD..!
