I love you
One a two a three should we do.
I love you four
that's more than I can afford.
Ophelia sighed, and placed the newspaper back on the table. She ran her fingers through her hair, and walked to the mirror. Her chestunt brown hair, was messier than usual, and her eyeliner was smudged across her cheek. In this state she will never, going to find a job. Recently Ophelia, was thinking about getting a job. She wanted, a fresh new start so badly that she could even give up, her love of her life, Josh. Ophelia and Josh were togheter since, kindergarten. They were so attached to each other, through good times and bad, but now it's time for a change. Either if Josh likes it or not.
Ophelia walked back to the living room, and picked up her phone and a piece of tissue which had a number on it. She dialled it carefully, and slowly and then pressed the "CALL" button. Beep Beep Beep Beep. No answer. She almost pressed the red button, but a voice interrupted her.
"Hello, Tvens Residence, how can I help you?"
"Umm.. I was calling about the nanny job. I would like to apply for it."
She could hear, werid buzzing only. Then she heard the voice again.
"Im sorry, can I phone you back.. Im just busy and.."
"Yes okay."
"Bye"
Ophelia looked at the clock. Half past seven. She had to hurry not to miss her Date with Josh. She grabbed, her red coat. and ran outside. She retrieved her ipod from her pocket, and placed her earphones, in her ear while turning the volume up with the other hand. I love you one a two a three should we do, I love you four and then, the music stopped. Opehlia, started at her ipod for a while, and then realised her battery was dead.
The streets, were crowded with people. And even tho, there was more people than usual, it was quieter than the usual. Moments passed, and she was entering McDonald's. It was crowded too, She searched for Josh, and automatically found him. He was sitting in the corner, eating fries, and texting on hes phone. Ophelia quickly flashed a smile, and walked to the small table.
"Hey!" Josh's heat shot upwards.
"Hello, I needed to talk to you about something, im not sure about it, but-"
"Talk later Lia, Eat now. You are getting smaller and smaller. Here I ordered you a spicy bean burger."
"Thanks, that's nice."
Ophelia wrapped her fingers around the burger, and then took a one big bite. She bun was so soft, that it slowly melted in her mouth. Soon all the burger was gone.
"So Liaa, what did you want to talk about?"
Ophelia sighed.
"I was just, looking for a job and I think I found it."
"THAT'S AMAZING! What is it?"
"Babysitting, but theres one problem."
"Oh come on, you aren't scared of babies are you?"
Ophelia laughed.
"No of course, notIt's just that the job isn't here. Here in California."
Even thought, Ophelia was staring at ther feet she could feel Josh's jaw drop. She felt a burp, coming up but this wasn't the time for It. She placed, her hand against her mouth and listened to Josh.
"You are going to come back, back from work at the eveing and we will have good time"
"Josh.. On the advert it says, I will have to live with them. I'll have to drive the kids to school, in the morning and I just won't be able, to come home at evenings."
"Its OKAY, Listen I gotta go."
"No Josh, im sure we can talk this out.. We might find a flat and then live in it togheter."
"No."
Ophelia watched Josh, walk out of the door. She quickly rose, and ran after him but when she was outside, he was gone. Ophelia zipped her red coat close, and walked home as fast as she could. She didn't want to mess this up, but she did. Tears rolled down her pale cheek Then her phone buzzed.
"Hello?"
"It's Mark Tven, you were phoning me earlier."
"Oh hello, I was phoning earlier about the nanny job, is it still in offer?"
"YES OFCOURSE! We have interwived loads of nanny's but none, of them were okay so we decided to stick to the one that is going to ohone us next!"
"And when do I need to start, working?"
"Tommorow please."
"Okay."
"I'll text you the adress. It's in London."
"Oh my god, that's in a different, state but okay I'll order a plane ticket, for tonight"
"We can send, our jet to you."
"YOU HAVE A JET? I mean .. that would be awesome.."
"Yes, wait for it in the airport. Me and My wife will be there."
"OKay… Just one last question?"
"mhmmm?"
"How much kids do you have?"
"four."
"Okay, thank you goodnight."
And then Mark Tven hang up, he had a lot of stuff to do, He had to get the jet ready, and Ophelia needed to pack.
Ophelia stuffer he rphone in her pocket, and walked home. It was 10 oclock now, but it was still light right now. Ophelia was fine, she was happy. This is what she needed. She had aches in her chest, and suddenly behind her house door Everything became blury, as she ran upstairs to her room. Soobing.
