Being a single mom

we are sisters and not just best friends

My name is Daniella Norman and I have lived my life with Lorita by my side and she is the only family I have. She is more than a best friend to me. We are like sisters and with me being the eldest, I've got to always look out for both of us. We go to different houses to wash, clean and do other necessary things just to get paid.

We both have so much in common like the grey eyes,big ass, our love for fashion and so on. We also have our plans of studying further and building our own fashion house one day. We also want to travel around for adventures too.

After school, we went to work and by the time we were done, it was late about 8:02pm that evening so went home and took our bath and went to the kitchen to prepare noodles and meat balls. Lolo came out in her blue short pajamas which is the same as what am wearing too. We both laughed at the coincidence, we cooked the food together and ate it with an orange juice which was in the fridge.

Today is Friday and school will be closing by 1pm so I thought of reading with my small friends group for one hour before going home or work. Lolo and Bella liked the idea but Addison seem not to be interested, we asked her why and she said " what is the use when am still gonna live my life based on instructions" and she didn't let any of us say a thing before she ran out.

We were reading when Eric, the hottest guy in school came to us.

"I would love it if you guys will give me five minutes of your time" Eric said.

I agreed even when the other two didn't like the idea.

"You can go on with what you have to say and be quick because we don't have much time" I said as we all listened.

"I'm celebrating my birthday in five weeks time before our Prom night and I will be glad if you guys are there" He said as he handed us the invitation card.

"Okay, thanks for inviting us, we appreciate it so much now get going because we are really busy now". Lorita said in a sarcastic way.

Eric smiled at me before leaving and I turned to lolo and asked.

Must you be harsh?

"Well not really but I hate that dude, he is such a flirt and I bet he was about flirting with us. Besides why are you defending him? Do you like him huh? She asked raising one of her eyebrows up with a smirk on her lips.

"No, maybe she is In love with the flirty hot guy in school" Bella chipped in laughing

We all laughed at it with me saying "No am not"

Truth be told, I like him. He is so hot and handsome, tall and has a beautiful structure, beautiful green eyes, full pink lips. What else name it and tell me why I shouldn't like him but he is a playboy and a flirt so I can't get my hopes high on him.

We finished reading and left school, Bella went home and we both changed our outfit in the public toilet along the street close to school then went to start our first work for today at the centra city mall. By 3:40pm we were done and we also have some work at starbucks, clark avenue Bloomfield, New Jersey.

We got there on time to resume at the exact which is 4pm on the dot and we started serving the costumers. Star bucks is a restaurant and wealthy business men patronize it.

For Lorita.

New Jersey is not just a state to me but home. Growing up in Bloomfield orphanage home, I have always seen New Jersey as home and it's welcoming too.

It's 7:58pm and we are rounding up to close for the day. The manager, Mr Robert is really a nagger and so troublesome with his annoying glasses, looking at him, one could tell he is in his thirties. He wears recommended glasses, an average height, not fat or skinny but handsome too.

We closed and was heading home which is going to take us thirty minutes if there isn't traffic since were we stay is not so far from starbucks. We got home and did the necessary things to do in the house and then took our bath, changed into our pajamas and came out. I decided to cook today, so Ella went to the sitting room to choose a movie we will be watching tonight. I decided to make macaroni and cheese with fried fish. After cooking, I dished it in two separate plates and brought it to the sitting room, went back to get water for us and we sat down to eat and watch beauty and the beast, the animation.

We later retired to bed at exactly 11:50 when the movie ended and I had a good sleep. I woke up 7am in the morning and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, I came out not seeing Ella anywhere I checked her and she was still sleeping so I decided not to wake her up and I left to go get some chores done. I cleaned the entire kitchen, washing every plates, spoons, cups, pots and so on, I cleaned the fridge, cupboard, gas cooker and the kitchen floor. I moved to the sitting room cleaning the two sitter cushion and the table then the television and other electronics with it. I move to the toilet to clean it when I heard a door open and close back, I knew it was Ella so I continued and finished up coming out, I saw her in the kitchen so I went to say goodmorning to her.

Good morning Ella!

"Good morning lolo! Why didn't you wake me up?" She asked.

"Well we slept late so I thought you should rest a bit longer" I explained.

"Well thanks, but you had to do everything alone, am sorry" she apologized.

"Come on, it's nothing, besides we are sisters so we can do anything for each other okay" I assured her.

" Okay, go clean your room,let me prepare something for breakfast" she said.

We finished all the work in the house and ate breakfast before going to the mall for shopping since it's Saturday and work time is 1pm in the afternoon. We did some shopping, went to get some groceries at the grocery store then back to the house.

It was still early when we got back so we decided to read for a while and we made the reading fun by asking each other some questions and also interacting.

We later went for ice cream and then went to work from there. It's weekend so we are bound to have so many costumers today.

We started serving costumers as usual and they kept coming and going. Some group of people came in, they were six, five guys and a girl. The girl was holding one of the guys too tight as if not wanting to let go.

I recognized the girl as Mia Roland the famous seventeen years old model so I decided to serve them so I can talk to her.

"Hi what do I offer you all sir? I asked smiling so bright.

"Yeah get us the big size of pizza you have and I will take Dr pepper as my drink" the guy Mia is clingy to said.

"Also bring one diet coke, two tropicana and two monsters" another guy said.

"Okay, I'll be right back" I said and left, I came back with their order and served then turned to Mia.

"Wow it's you, it's really you, Mia Roland the top famous model, I can't believe am seeing you. I like your style so much, can I have an autograph" I said happily.

"Oh please, just bounce off. I don't have time nonsense" she said rudely and I lost it.

"So much for being a celebrity, here I was thinking you are lovely because I like your style but you are disgusting and with a ugly heart. Nonsense" I said and left.

I am so angry right now, is this how all the the celebrities are? I asked no one in particular.

Ella came to me and was asking what the problem is but I waved her off and went in to the kitchen.

The rest of the day was history by the time I got home. We both skipped dinner because we ate lunch late and had other small snacks to eat before coming home.
