Hotshot: a short chapter, I know. I just didn't know what all I wanted in this chapter, so I just decided to have a short, domestic chapter with Alice and Becky. Anyways, hope you all enjoy!
Racing for Everything
Chapter 4
When Thursday rolled around, I was making dinner while Becky was sitting at the kitchen table, doing her homework. I was making some mac and cheese for her since I already ate before she came home. I had just started to pour the food in the strainer when the phone rang. I reached over and grabbed before answering.
"Hello?" I tilted my head to hold the phone still against my shoulder as I poured the rest of the mac and cheese in the strainer.
"Ms. Abernathy?" a male voice asked from the other end.
"This is her."
"My name is George Calt, the manager of Ccoon Cafe, the one across from the garage. I'd like to have an interview with you tomorrow if you're able."
"Yeah, I can come in tomorrow."
"Great, how about, let's say...two?"
"Two's good."
"Excellent. I will see you then, Goodbye."
"Bye." I hung up and set the phone down before finishing making mac and cheese and place a bowl full with it in front of Becky.
"Thank you, mommy."
"You're welcome, now eat while I call Auntie Jill."
"Okay!"
I grabbed my phone and dialed Jill's number before heading into the living room.
"Jill speaking." Jill stated as she answered.
"Hey Jill."
"Alice, what do I owe this call?"
"I need a favor."
"That's all you call me for." Jill teased, making me roll my eyes.
"Oh haha. Anyways, I have an interview tomorrow at two and I was wondering if you would be able to pick up Becky from school."
"Yeah, I'll be able to."
"Alright, thanks."
"Where's the interview?"
"Ccoon Cafe."
"Ah." Jill sounded a little...off. "Be careful is all I can say. That's in a part of town where it's still good but it's on the edge of going into the bad part."
"I will, I will."
"Good luck, make sure to tell me how it goes."
"I will, bye." I hung up and put the phone down before walking back into the kitchen.
"Auntie Jill will be picking you up tomorrow while I go for an interview, alright?"
"Okay, mommy."
I smiled before kissing her on the forehead and sat down, sipping from my mug of coffee that I got just before I got that phone call.
Hotshot: Remember to review!
