Even though this didnt get any reviews, im still going to keep publishing it.
Here's the second chapter. =)
Tayla's point of view.
Flashback – 6 months
"Tay, we need to start thinking about getting real jobs, I can't work at Safeway for the rest of my life" Sophie complained to me. She has been going on for weeks about finding a better job, one that she hasn't had for 4 years and that isn't stacking shelves. "I know Soph, I have heard you go on about getting a new job for weeks now. And as you already know, we are not getting very far" I said, matter-of-factly, as I put down my newspaper. "Actually" Sophie started, sounding happier than before. "You might be in luck, Aunty Soozie called today while you were shopping and said she had some exciting news for you, well I suppose for me too, and that she is coming over for tea" she finished talking and smiled. "And you didn't tell me when I got back, why?" "Well to be totally honest, I forgot" she smiled and got up to go into the kitchen of our two bedroom unit. "That's just like you, always forgetful" I laughed. "Im not that forgetful, only with something's" she said, and I could hear her laughing from the kitchen.
After, I quickly called Aunty Soozie back to tell her what time tea was and to ask what news she had for us. I didn't find out, her reply was "You'll have to wait until later to know" and with goodbyes the conversation ended.
It was now 6:30pm, the time I told Aunty Soozie that tea would be ready. I had made spaghetti for tea, nothing to fancy, quick and simple. 10 minutes later she arrived apologizing for being so late. "Aunty Soozie, don't worry about it, 10 minutes is nothing" Sophie keep assuring her. She finally stopped apologizing and we sat and ate tea. We had started reminiscing about our days we had spent having One Tree Hill or Gossip Girl marathons, and I realized Aunty Soozie hadn't changed since we had met her when we were 15. She had a crazy and colourful clothing style, with her frizzy hair always tied up and always bubbly attitude.
Were as Sophie and I were different, Sophie's clothing style was quite girly, her natural wavy blonde was always straightened and is very loud. Then me, my clothing style is very alternative, ill wear what I want as long as it looks good, naturally straight brown hair and definitely not as loud as Soph, more to the quiet side.
"Alright, so you want to know why im here, rather than the fact to see you two gorgeous girls?" she asked. "Yes, I've been wondering ever since Soph told me!" Yes, I was getting excited. Usually she can just tell us news over the phone, so im thinking this must be some pretty exciting news. "My husband needs a new photographer to work for him and since you have done some work for him in the past, he wants you to work for him permanently" Soozie said. And that's when the screaming starts. "Omg, that's awesome but im not sure if I could handle it" I replied. "Tayla, you have to take this job, it's a chance of a lifetime!" Sophie gushed. "Oh and Sophie, he wants you be Tayla's assistant, if you want the job?" "Omg, are you serious, this cant be happening" Sophie had started screaming, so nobody could get a word in. "Oh, but there is one small slight condition" said Soozie, not sounding to sure whether to tell us or not. "It's in England"
Over the speakers I could hear the captain announcing we were landing at Heathrow Airport in London, taking me away from my daydream, and right back into reality. As you probably realized, us being on a plane, we had taken the job. We thought it would be a great advantage for us. It's a dream job that doesn't come around often. Once in a lifetime chance for me to be a professional photographer and this is it.
I had been listening to music most of the flight while Sophie slept. I nudged her in the arm "Soph, wake up were landing soon. We're nearly there!" She opened her eyes and yawned. "Well Tay, I hope England's ready for us" I was starting to get excited!
