the other half of me [ Fai Khadra ]

2 / you again

"You know since it's summer I think it's necessary that you ought to find a job darling" Mum read through the newspaper, only if she knew that hardly anyone reads them anymore this isn't Europe mum

I laughed "Yeah because mhm my dear older brother totally has one too"

"Auzzie!" I yelled from the kitchen as I tried to find something to stuff my belly with, a very small girl with a very big appetite

"Hush it will you?!" He threw a crumpled up piece of paper at me, ah how grown up you must be

"Braxton stop throwing things around the room it can brake some glass" Mum's concern for glass really amuses me when I could've been blinded by that piece of paper for fifteen seconds!

I laughed

"I love the concern mom"

"F-Y-I" Auzzie paused "I have a job" He bragged

"Where at PornHub?" Our little brother Koda brought up one of the most dumbest jobs our older brother ever had in a summer

"Auzzie just because pornhub hired you to be a rep it doesn't mean it's a job" I clarified giving him a pat on the back

"Don't ever disrespect this family like that ever again or else I'll send you to your father do you hear me Braxton James?" Mother brought a fresh memory of dad, a wound so fresh that could cause you to bleed but to mum it's all nothing and I hope it really is nothing now

Braxton nodded

"Who even needs a job when you're living here" Koda opened his arms and held his hands together behind his head as he relaxed on the white couch with his foot up on the table and all, I couldn't help but giggle at my little brother

"Mu-"

"Get a job Tatyana Celine! "

I sighed, picked up my purse and went out of my way to go look for a damn job. What dear mummy wants, dear mummy gets

"Just because I have a well paying job it doesn't mean my children should sit down and watch their mum do all the work! I'm a single mother for God's sake, help me out"

I nodded at those words, she's been a single mother for nearly 5 years and yeah I know the recent wound is not the 5 years.

"Where in the hell do I find a job at 19 with zero job experiences ?" I sighed looking at the empty road of Hidden Hills

"Whatever" I muttered to myself and drove to wherever my heart takes me 

I just ended up getting a coffee from that one coffee shop, I honestly am hopeless at this point. I'm stressing on finding a job I don't even want- come on Taty! My feet brought me outside because I saw something that caught my eye, shoes. Oh dear, instead of a job I see shoes!

"You're a new face" The person who worked the front welcomed me oddly

I smiled "New to the country actually, big move"

she stopped playing with her curls and followed me "British are you?"

I shook my head "I'm bulgarian and hawaiian"

"That's some mix"

I laughed "Yup it is, crazy life really- complicated" I paused

"These shoes, do you have a 6 and a half by any chance?" I pointed

Her name was Keira, she was friendly I think because of her I'd want to work here... at Barney's...

"Let me check that for you"
