Clarissa
I squinted my eyes at the ray of sunlight shining through my floor to ceiling window. Arghhhhh... I forgot to close the drapes yesterday in my haste to sleep. Before I could drag my tired body to move and close the god damn drapes, I heard the sound of the door opening.
Immediately, I sprung to action all signs of sleep evaded me.My fiery hair was in all directions.,my clothes wrinkled and my face a mess since I had slept with my make up on.Who the duck is at the door and whT are they doing here at... I paused slightly to check the time. At 7am!!!!
I gripped the telephone at my bed stand I closely walked to the door as if I was an FBI agent.
When I reached the door and placed my hand on its knob,i was started cause d door moved causing me to stumble back in fright.
"Miss meadow? "A man in ripped Blue Jeans and a purple shirt walked in. He had honey coloured hair slightly ruffled as if he ran his hand through his hair several times.
"Who are you?" I demanded still holding on to the telephone and situated two feet from him.
He raised his hands as if surrendering."I'm sorry miss meadow. I've been sent here by the travelling agency to aid you in your tour and make sure you have a good time on the island. You must have been informed of a tour guide ,right?"
"I'm Jordan, your guide." He held his hands out for me to shake was smiling.
I lowered my weapon carefully still not trusting him. However I took his hand and shook it.
"You can call me Clarissa. But why are you here at this time?"
He looked ashamed." I'm sorry but I have something urgent to do later in the day that's why I came here early to discuss our plans. I hope I'm not inconviniencing you?"
"I Just woke up for God's sake." I shouted feeling extremely angry at him for disturbing my sleep
He paled immediately and I felt guilty.
"Please make way to the parlour. Would you like something to drink?"
"No thanks."
I felt even more guilty for shouting at him.
"I have to go freshen up. Make yourself at home. I'll be back in a jiffy,I said with a small smile to ease the tension.
"So I could work on my duration here?"
"Yes ma'am... You could."
I stared at him in awe. I could make some money here!!! If I save much then paying my rent back home will not be hard while I look for a new job.
Jordan and I were currently in the sitting room talking about my duration here.
"But for this week I would take you round the highland so you could have an idea of this place."
The thought of scouring through this beautiful place amused and excited me at the same time.
"I would very much like that. Thank you. "
No problem. He shrugged. "It's my job. We would start tomorrow at 9am. Would that be okay for you?"
"Hmmmm... Yeah. "
"Meanwhile, I think I have a job I could recommend to you. It's not really a decent one for someone like you but the pay is really good."
I sighed not really liking the prospect of this. "Let's about this another day. Meanwhile I'm just really excited about being here. "
He stood up. "I'll be on my way now. I have something to do." His eyes turned sad.
"Are u okay? "feeling worried about his change of expression.
He shook his head. "Yeah I'm good.I will be here by 8:45 to pick you up."
When he left I sighed and slumped on the sofa. A smile crawled up my face when I thought of tomorrow. Can't wait to explore this paradise.
Something clicked at the back of my mind. I hope I brought my camera? I immediately went in search of it and to my luck I had packed it. Maybe I could even create my blog and share beautiful pictures of this place to outsiders.
