Shadow's P.O.V
"Yes!" I cried after I had hung up the phone.
I was going to have a real job. I wasn't going to have to rely on my parents to buy me everything I needed anymore. It was just a job as a maid but it was a start. The guy's name sounded really familiar but I couldn't quite but a finger on where I had heard it from before.
Mort Rainey? Isn't he that writer you mother likes?
"Maybe," I said walking out of my room. "I'll ask her when I tell her about the job."
Are you sure you want to do this?
I started to open my mouth but Clover cut me off.
What do you mean? Of course she's sure. It's just a job.
"For once you're right," I admitted peaking my head into my mom's room.
I heard my conscience sigh and mumble something I didn't understand. I don't know what she was getting so worked up about it. It was just a job. My mother was sitting on her bed reading.
"I got a job," I said.
"What?" My mother asked looking up from her book.
"I got a job," I repeated.
"When?" she asked setting her book aside.
"This guy named Mort Rainey just called and took me on as his maid," I explained quickly. "He says I can start anytime."
"As in the writer Mort Rainey?" My mother asked.
"He's a writer?" I asked.
My mom didn't answer me. She just stood and walked over to her bookshelf. She looked over the books before pulling one off the shelf. Mom flipped through it to the back and brought it over.
I found myself looking at the cutest guy I had ever seen in my life. He had blond hair with a patch of black on the top. It was a bit messy and I love a man with messy hair. I couldn't really see his eyes because they were hidden behind glasses but I guessed that they were just as cute as his hair.
Mom was pointing at the paragraph under the picture. It said that this man's name was Mort Rainey and that he currently lived in Tashmore Glen.
"Unless there are two people named that living in Tashmore than that is him," I explained. "Because that's where he told me he lived."
"Oh wow!" Mom exclaimed closing the book and pulling it close to her chest. "I've always wanted to meet him and I finally have a chance."
You'd think she was getting the job.
I didn't say anything to Clover because I didn't want mom to start worrying about me.
Shut up Clover. She's get excited.
"I'm going to go up there this weekend to meet him," I said. "I want to meet him before I start working for him so that I won't be nervous my first day."
I thought this would impress mom but she wasn't paying attention. She seemed to be off in her own world.
"Ok then," I said. "I'm going to go back to my room and sleep."
Great job there showoff.
"Get fucked," I whispered as I walked out of my mother's room.
