Chapter 5 *********
Back in L.A
Kay is in her hotel room getting ready for her first day on the job. She told the lady who interviewed her about her pregnency and the lady said she understood what it was like trying to make it, so she got the job. She got into her uniform and called a cab. She went downstairs and the cab was waiting. The cab takes her to the restaurant. She walks in and the manager who interviewed her comes up to her.
"Hello Kay and welcome."
"Hi."
"Now you can put your jacket on the coatrack and follow me."
Kay does what she is told and follows her.
"Now this is the non-smoking section, considering your condition I thought you much rather work in this area."
"Yes, thank you."
"Now, I guess thats it. I already told you about how to take the orders and stuff like that. Now your break isn't until noon but if you need to take a break sooner just ask someone to cover your tables for a couple of minutes."
"I don't want any special treatment just because I am pregnent or anything."
"No, of course not. But if you do want a early break just say so."
"Alright. Well, I better get to my tables."
"Ok."
Kay walked away and got to work. She was having a hard time just with carrying the trays that were heavy. But she eventually got used to it. She worked hard and by her break at noon she earned thirty dollors in tips, not much but it was a small restaurant. She sat down at the empty table near the door and took out her sketch book she had brought with her. She started sketching a dress when she felt she was being watched. She looked up and there was a woman standing behind her.
"Oh, can I help you miss?" asked Kay
"Oh, I was just admiring your dress you were designing. Its beautiful." said the lady as she sat accross from Kay.
"Thanks."
"May I?" she said holding out her hand, so she could look at the other drawings. She began fliping through the book. "Oh these are wonderful. What is your name hon?"
"Kay, Kay Bennett."
"Well, Kay Bennett, I love these sketches and I have a offer for you. How would you like to quit this job and come to work for me."
"I don't know. I mean this is my first day on these job. Plus there is something that might be a set back."
"What you don't have a background with the law do you or anything of that some sort of thing."
"No, its just that well, I am pregnent and I just don't know."
"That doesn't matter. I want you to design clothes with my company and will get your own line of clothing. With talent this it can take you places."
"Well..."
"Oh, come on. It pays very well and I do mean very well. You will be able to provide for you and your child. Please."
"Oh, alright. I just don't know what to tell the manager. I only been working a few hours."
"Just tell them you found a better job. You know I knew something was dragging me to this restaurant today."
Kay smiled at the lady and went to tell the manager she had found a better job. Kay returned
"Whats are your name by the way?"
"Lauren, Lauren Smith. Can I take you home. Where do you live?"
"I am currently staying in a hotel. I only been in L.A for a week."
"Well, you won't be there for long. I will help."
"You know for someone who just met me you surely are being nice."
"Well, I just have a very good feeling that you will be going places with your talent."
"You really have that much faith in me?"
"Yes, I really believe in you."
"Thanks."
"Let's go."
Lauren drove Kay and on the way back to the hotel they talked about all the designs and Kay talked about all the ideas she had for some new clothes. She dropped Kay off and told her she will be back at nine in the morning. Kay went up to her room and she closed the door. She sat on the bed with a smile on her face. I went into work thinking that I was going to be working as a waitress for a long time and I leave work being a designer. Maybe I should go with Theresa's advice. Fate will work my way. Maybe its working on me now. Kay smiled and went to sleep.
