i actually enjoyed my first night in the apartment but i did feel really lonely and it was too quiet
i think it's just because i was so used to being with my mom and my two loud ass siblings that i miss so much
right now i'm getting ready because my manager called me to come in today to get to know everything and what i need to do
after i finished getting ready i was going to grab a small snack but i realized i haven't went grocery shopping yet
i'll go later
i hopped in the uber i ordered and went on my way to the place
i really need to save up money to get a car soon. i heard this job pays very well so hopefully i'll be able to get one
-
i walked inside the building and went to the front desk "hi! i'm here to see Robert King"
"Okay one moment" the woman who looked to be in her 40s replied
she picked up the phone and dialed a number "hello Mr. King someone is here to see you"
"send them in" i heard on the other side of the phone
"okay sir" she replied and hung up "mr. kings office is down the hall first door on the right"
"thank you"
i walked down to the first door on the right and opened the door
"Ah so nice to finally meet you Ms. Jones" he smiled
"you don't have to call me that. please call me jas" i smiled "but it's nice to finally meet you too" i said shaking his hand
"please take a seat" he motioned to the chair in front of his desk. i sat in the seat and nervously picked at the skirt i was wearing
"so as you know, this is a job for photography and since you are just starting out in adulthood i would like to give you the most paying job we have" he smiled "which is photographing for celebrities"
for celebrities?
"is that fine with you or would you like one of the other photography jobs" he asked
"no that's completely fine!" i smiled "especially if it's the most paying job" i giggled causing him to laugh
"great! so basically you'll be going to different shows and photograph whoever's performing on the stage which is a pretty easy job for how much the pay is"
"how much is the pay if you don't mind me asking?"
"you'll be getting paid $500 every friday" he informed causing my eyes to bulge out of my head
every friday? this is crazy. that's $2000 a month!
"but if you do really well your pay can go even higher up to $1000 every friday"
so these people rich rich.
"so are you up to doing the job?" he asked
"yes please" i said with no hesitation causing him to let out a chuckle knowing how excited i am
"well that's great because i got contacted by interscope records. you're familiar with them? yes?" he asked
"yes i am"
"well they contacted me asking if you could photograph one of their singers so i will inform them that you will be doing so" he said typing on his computer probably emailing them
"do you know who the singer is?" i asked
"no i'm not sure but they do want you to go to the interscope records building to meet them and whoever you're photographing"
"right now?"
"if you can" he smiled
"um yes i'll go right now" i standing up shaking his hand again "thank you so much once again"
"it was a pleasure having you" he smiled
i walked out the door and let out a breath. this is so overwhelming but in a good way. $500 every week? that's amazing! i cant wait to call my mom and tell her about it
also Mr. King was way more nicer than i expected. he was at least in his 60s but looked very intimidating
i walked outside and to my surprise there was already someone waiting to take me. i guess Mr. King called someone to take me
-
i arrived at the interscope records building and some guy came walking up to me
"hi! are you Jasmyn Jones?" he asked
"yes that's me" i replied "i'm justin, follow me this way so you can meet everyone" he smiled
i followed him into a room and seen everyone seated. once i looked up i was shocked to see the same girl who was sitting next to me on the plane
she looked up at me with the same shocked expression and laughed quietly to herself
"so as you may or may not know this is billie eilish, the girl you're photographing and billie this is jasmyn your photographer" justin said
i did a small wave to everyone in the room and the older lady i seen at the airport came up to me hugging me
"hi i'm maggie, billies mother, it's so nice to meet you" she greeted
"so nice to meet you too" i smiled genuinely
next the tall red headed man from the airport came up to me introducing himself as her brother and also her father came and introduced himself
lastly billie slowly walked up to me looking me from head to toe before stopping in front of me and looking me in the eyes
her eyes are so beautiful yet intimidating
"so the girl with a staring problem talks? and has a name?" she chuckled
"i wasn't staring" i mumbled
"what we're you doing then" she tested
i looked up and tapped my chin "i'd say observing" i said testing her back making her playfully roll her eyes
"nice to meet you though" i said
"nice to meet you too" she said dapping me up
real professional i guess
"billie performs in 2 days so we'll see you there?" justin asked in more of a question
"you will see me there" i confirmed with a smile.
"okay i'll send you the location and the time and all that other stuff" he said "mind if i get your number"
"no not at all!" i said
he handed me his phone and i added my number
-
i finally got back to my apartment excited to tell my mom the news
i called my mom and she literally picked up on the first ring causing me to chuckle to myself
she misses me a little too much
"hey baby! how'd it go" she asked
"hi mom! it went really great! i start in two days" i smiled
"that's great!" she smiled back "i'm so proud of you. you're sister and brother miss you"
"you don't miss me?" i playfully rolled my eyes
"no"
"wow" i laughed "you deadass picked up on the first ring"
"girl what i tell you about cussing at me"
"sorry" i laughed
"but i do miss you" she frowned "i miss y'all too but mom guess what!"
"Mr. King was really nice so he gave me the highest paying job which is photographing celebrities an-"
"hold on" she cut me off "did you say celebrities"
"yes" i laughed
"oh my god! i'm so proud" she shouted "how much is the pay"
"i was just about to tell you" i giggled "but he said the pay is $500 every friday and if i do really well it can go up to $1000 every friday"
my mom just looked at me with her jaw dropped
"you're kidding me"
"nope" i chuckled
"OH MY GOD" she screamed making me laugh
"mom shhh the twins are probably sleeping for school" i giggled
"you're right but that's crazy! i cant put into words how happy i am for you" she smiled "but you need to get some rest. i know you're probably still jet lagged"
"i am" i yawned "i'll call you in the morning mom i love you"
"i love you too honey" she replied
"WAIT" she yelled just before i was about to hang up
"if you photograph p diddy let me know and let him know i'm a single woman" she winked
"mom!" i laughed "goodnight"
"goodnight sweetie"
i hung up and took a shower and changed into my pjs. i laid in bed thinking about how much i love being so close to my mom. this is one of those moments when i start to think about my dad
were we not enough for him?
