Maid For You

New Beginnings

I woke up this morning super nervous about today, I was doing all this thinking about what ifs until I looked in the mirror and decided that an "What if" wouldn't determine my future. I took a long relaxing shower and got dressed in a blue Addias track suit with some air force ones. I styled my hair up in a bun and laid my baby hairs and was actually feeling myself I walked downstairs to see Shanta cooking breakfast "Haaaaay Sexyyyyyy" she said while fixing both me and her plates "Goodmorning Bookie, Why are you up so early?"

"Well, I just figured today's a big day yunno." She looked at me with glistening eyes. I can already tell what she was thinking "Shanta, I'm fine. Really. I appreciate everything that you and Mama Brielle has done for me, but I need to go my own way you know this. I have to do this." I saw tears fall down her eyes as I was explaining, but she still managed to nod her head. I got up and hugged her "I love you"
"I love you too slutbucket. I should beat your ass for ruining my makeup. I spent a whole hour on this."
"Ehh, it looked kind of slutty to me."
"Ohhhh! No bacon for you hoe." She said walking upstairs with her plate before yelling Good luck to me. I really was blessed for a friend like her.

I thought about walking to the place, but when I looked at the address it was way outside of town. I would have asked Shanta for a ride, but her mother took the car to go to work. Sighing I used the last $30 to my name to call for an uber. 45 mins later we pulled up to this mansion that looked a lot like off the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but a little bit more spacious. I took a deep breath before walking in and I was instantly met with Travis who was eating what looked to be a pop-tart. I stood there for a few seconds and then he noticed me and smiled and began to walk over to me. "Yo wassup Ma, Ya hea for the maid job?"

"Uh. Yes, I'm sorry i'm late.. I had to find a-"

"No problem ma. All these hoes in here it doesn't matter if you're late. He probably not even paying attention. Just uh take a seat in the living room and we'll be with you in a sec kay?" He stated genuinly, I just nodded and went off to find a seat. When I stepped into the living room, it was a group full of females here, some were decent, the others were barely dressed, I felt out of place. I found a seat next to this girl who was really pretty, she looked good enough to be a model. She was gorgeous, I sat next to her and smiled and she rolled her eyes, I still kept a smile on my face, because I'm trying to have a good day. You could have the prettiest face in the world, but an attitude that makes you ugly as hell. I just sat back and thought about my life, about half an hour later I realized I was the only one here and was starting to think they had forgotten about me, as soon as I got up to leave the door to the office came open and out walked Travis. He smiled at me and told me to come in "Good Luck" he whispered and I smiled. I dont see how him and East are friends. He's so nice and East is the compete opposite. He's a real big asshole if you ask me, but I needed money and If I could handle my father, I sure as hell could handle East.

I walked in and East was sitting on the other side of the desk looking mean, All that mugging is gonna give him wrinkles. I chuckled a bit of thinking of East with wrinkles, both him and Travis looked at me like I was slow. I just cleared my throat and looked down at my hands. "Sooo. What's ya name and why you need this job." Dave declared

"I-i'm Nzuri and Well
.. I was having trouble at home and got kicked out, so -"

"You were hoeing or something?" Dave stated with a straight face

"Umm. Excuse me? No. My father was a little ... controlling. I had to leave before it got worse.. I got out while I still could.." I spoke quietly

"So the man at the store. That was your father??" Travis asked

"Yes. He was abusive for awhile after my mom died. He recently just put me in the hospital. I've been living with my Bestfriend ever since, but I know her and her mom are struggling too. I don't want to bother anyone. I just wanna make my money and get away. I love to cook! And write and I get alone with just about everyone. I won't even speak unless spoken to.. I know how to stay in my place." I looked in between those two and Dave just looked unbothered.

"Well.. You can start tomorrow. You'll get paid every Saturday, You're to wash, clean, and pick up everything out of place here. I'll go over the rules with you tomorrow. Be here at 10 A.M. Sharp." East said sternly. I thanked him and began to walk out before hearing my name called, I turned around to be faced with Dave as he said "And don't be late again. A nigga got shit to do. Money to make." I simply nodded and walked out. To say I was excited was an understatment, In a couple of months I would have enough saved so I can leave this life behind forever and start fresh. I was finally moving up and this is all I been praying for.
