His Personal Assistant

Chapter 1

The aroma of smell hit my nostril of the delicious food that was cooking in my kitchen. As I lay in bed my stomach started to grumble.

I open my eyes slowly to see my cousins Anna and Kezie were still asleep.

I got  suspicious because if they were sleeping and we live alone in the apartment. Who was cooking in the kitchen so early in the morning?

"Anna and Kenzie,wake up! I think there's a burglar in our apartment."

"Omg,Are we going to die?" Cried Anna.

"Would you shut up it's probably nothing to be afraid of, you and Anna are acting like babies." Kezie whisper

I open my room door slowly and walk into the living room holding Anna's tennis racket to defend myself while Kezie and Anna walked behind me. I swear if this wasn't a serious situation I would be rolling on the floor with laughter. We walked slowly into the kitchen then Anna and Kezie  jump on the burgular falling to the floor.

"Help!"

"Mom?" I said peeking from where I was standing

"Catalina, what's going on?" my mom said as she struggle to get my two cousins off from her.

"Girls, it's not a burgular. You can get off my mom now"

"Girls, you want to kill me." mom said laughing

"Omg, Aunty Nadia we are so sorry. Forgive us for doing such thing. It was Catalina's fault." Anna said looking at me

"How is it my fault?"  I said laughing

"You're the one who woke us up to say there's a burglar in the apartment." Kezie  said walking towards the diner table to take a seat.

"Catalina which burglar comes into someone house and cook " Mom kept laughing as she speak.

"Okay, just forget about it. What brings you here mom? You haven't call to say that you're coming."

"Well you're my daughter and I'm concern about you. Your dad sent me here to check on you to see if you're okay. He wants to know if you have a job or I will have to take you back to Mexico with me and the only alternative is to find someone and marry because you're not doing anything here with your life."

"But mom, I'm a big girl. I have a life here. I came to New York for a year it's not that easy. Jobs are so hard to find. I have sent out applications and I have an interview today. I'm trying to make this work. I don't want to go back to Mexico."

"Those are your father's policies, I can't object to him. He give you several chances. All you do is resign from your jobs and only made it worst on yourself. You have to prove to us this time to keep your next job. If you quit or get fired you know what happens." Mom said placing the food she cooked for us on the table.

After having breakfast, my two cousins were dress to go  work and I had to get going before I miss my interview. Anna works at a hospital as a nurse and Kezie is a receptionist at a hotel. I waved to them as they went into their car and drove off .After a few minutes of standing and not seeing a cab anywhere. I decided to walk another block. As I walked a cab pulled over and the old man who was driving the cab began to send flirtatious gestures.  I just wanted to baffed.

"Get lost, no sort of shame you have!" I said causing him to drive off.

As I walked further, I could feel the heat of the sun penetrating through my skin. I finally saw a cab at a nearby gas station. I quickly told the guy who was standing by the car door where I was going and hop into the cab but he stood there looking at me dumb founded.
