Scared, Nervous but yet Happy and Optimistic.

This was me as I straightened down my black trousers and white vest top before pulling on a black jacket. I ran a hand through my hair before re-applying some lipgloss and daring to venture from the confines of Troys and Mines bedroom.

Granted, things over the past week had improved between Troy and I. He had spent alot more time with Kayla and I and after 2 weeks at U of A we were finally settling in.

Now though, i had to shake things up by getting a job - Something Troy was NOT happy with but our money was beginning to run low and lets face it, we had no choice. So i had a job interview at a fairly local diner as a waitress...I hoped to god i got the job because i was running out of options. AKA - This was the last hope.

I walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, where i noticed Troy making coffee while Kayla fed herself in her highchair. "Whaaat the.." I gasped as Troy suddenly lifted me up and put me onto the counter when i was within reaching distance of him. I giggled as he moved between my legs, his hands moving under my top so they could move over my body while he kissed me passionately. I smiled into the kiss as i wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. When we pulled away, i sighed blissfully as Troy attached his lips to my neck, planting butterfly kisses along it, sucking on a soft spot here and there. I moaned softly at the feelings he was envoking.

When Troy pulled away he took hold of my hands and stared at my open palm, tracing the shape causing me to look at him confused. "Do you know why there are spaces inbetween our fingers?" He asked randomly causing me to shake my head in response. "They're meant for someone elses fingers... I found the fingers I want there forever - yours." He finished.

I smiled, connecting out lips together after whispering in his ear "I love you".

"Moommmy!!" Kayla whined from her high chair, causing Troy and I to pull away yet again. We both looked over at our beautiful daughter.

"Whats the matter sweety?" I asked

"Take me to the park?" Kayla asked hopefully.

"Awww sweety i can't today because i have a job interview but im sure...if you ask daddy nicely" I began

"You have a job interview?" Troy asked suddenly, stiffening.

"Yeah, remember i told you last night...but you were busy trying to do other things" I giggled causing Troy to blush and chuckle slightly.

"Daddy take me?" Kaylas voice came "Pweaaaassseeee"

Troy seem to consider this before nodding gradually. "Ok princess, i'll take you. Your lucky its saturday."

"Yaaaaayy" Kayla exclaimed clapping excitedly.

"I think you have just made her day. She loves being with her daddy"

"And her mommy" Troy remarked before sighing and moving his hands to my thighs - Rubbing them smoothly "Do you have to have that job interview?"

"If we want the money then yeah" I replied.

"We can live without the money??" Troy asked hopefully.

"Yeah and we will wont be able to feed our daughter. Nice plan"

"Our parents..."

"Nope" I replied simply. "I have to get this job Troy."

"When can you start?"

Those words were like music to my ears. I had gotten the job.

"Um not to be rude, but you did hear me when i said i had a child and i have college 3 days during the week? And that things might be a bit crazy?" I asked the manager - Mr Hampton. He was an old guy - in his fortys i would guess with a practically bald head that had only a few whisps of hair here and there. To be honest he actually freaked me out. No kidding, he didn't seem to just look at you...no instead he 'leered' at you but maybe that was just who he was?

"Yes i did and thats fine" He smirked "Obviously to fit it to you, you can work 3 days a week. Now do you want the job or not?."

"Yes thankyou sooo much!" I said, extending my hand out to shake his grubby hands. I grimaced as i felt like he was leering at me again. I really am probably just imagining it.

"So can you start today?" He asked.

"Umm sure" I replied

"Ok well claire over there" He said nodding towards and very pretty girl who looked around the age of me. "Will show you the ropes but i will be 'monitoring' you. You know, looking over shoulder now and again and making sure your doing things right."

"Ok" I nodded

"Now obviously we will have to get you a uniform for tomorrow but for now what your wearing will do" Mr Hampton commented. I could have sworn i saw him lick his lips...Ergh?

"Claire!" He called to the waitress who hurriedly walked over. She looked quite shy to be honest and ...fragile? If thats the word to describe it.

"Yes sir?"

"This is our new recruit, Gabriella. Show her the ropes; ill be watching" Mr Hampton said glaring at claire then walking off.

"Hey I'm Gabriella" I introduced myself properly, holding my hand out.

"Hi, i'm claire" She replied shaking my outstretched hand. "Ok, so umm basically it works like this. Try and take it all in but if you cant don't worry because ill help" Claire began "You see a customer, you take their order, clip the paper to the line" she pointed to a rotating line with clips that looked like a washing line or something. "Then when the chef says 'order up' get the order and take it to the table. If it gets quiet just clean some tables or something. But listen yeah? You must keep busy. Whatever you do."

"Ok..."

"You get 2 breaks a day, one for 10 minutes and another for 30 minutes...use them wisely and dont be late otherwise Mr Hampton gets a little...agitated."

"I got it." I smiled.

"Good" Claire smiled back.

"Umm i know this is like sudden or whatever but can i ring my fiance real quick and tell him i got the job?" I asked

"Sure, but make sure Mr Hampton doesn't see you."

It had been two hours and i was shattered. I hadn't stopped since i had called Troy and let him know about the job - He was not happy. On the plus side i had been able to pick up my job pretty quickly and was very easily slipping into the routine. True to his word however, Mr Hampton had been continuously beathing down my neck, watching me from afar, or leaning over my shoulder...i was getting such a wierd vibe off him and when he was around me or claire. Anyway, the midday rush had just began to wind down, giving Claire and I some time to take a breather.

"Umm claire?" I began, cleaning down a counter with a cloth.

"Yeah?" She replied as she poured a customer some coffee. "There you go sir" She said to the customer before turning to me.

"You know Mr Hampton, do you think he is a bit wierd?" I asked quietly. She glanced up at me, uncertainty and tenseness crossing onto her face.

"H-H-How do you mean??" She stuttered.

"I mean, i get this wierd...vibe from him"

"Gabriella listen to me" Claire said placing her coffee pot down. "Its better not to ask or say anything about Mr Hampton ok? I know you need this job so my advice is..don't worry about him. Focus on your job and everything will be fine. You should have no problem because you have picked this job up quickly. So just focus on that and you gunna be ok here. Alright?" She said in all seriousness.

I nodded "Ok"

However, I was not Ok. I was concerned, something just didn't seem right about Mr Hampton but to be honest i knew Claire meant well. I did need this job and i couldn't afford to lose it because this had been my last option - No where else would hire me. I was going to take Claires advice and try my best to get on with what i was getting paid for.

Afterall, that money was needed for Troys and Mine family to survive.

"See you late Claire" I said, grabbing my bag.

"Umm Gabriella, could you just wait so we can leave together?" Claire asked randomly. It was around ten at night and the diner was now ready to close so Clair and i could leave off. I was completely exhausted.

"Yeah sure" I said, watching as she pulled her jacket on and grabbed her own bag. We walked from the changing room into the nearly empty diner together, noticing Mr Hapton was sitting on a stool near the counter.

"Goodnight girls" He leered "See you tomorrow, Claire i expect you in at opening time. Gabriella i expect you in at 10."

We both nodded and left - It had become apparent to me that Claire was holding her breath and had released it when we were away from Mr Hampton. I didn't mention is however, remembering Claires talk earlier.

"See you tomorrow" I said

"Yeah Bye Gabi" Claire smiled walking away.

I climbed into Troys and mine car, starting the engine and driving home, smiling 10 minutes later as the apartement came into view.

I entered the apartement as quietly as i could. I walked into the living room and soon noticed that Troy and Kayla had most probably already gone to bed. I sighed before going into the kitchen and opening the refridgerator. I scanned it quickly before pulling out some orange juice and pouring myself a glass. After quickly drinking it i walked through to Kaylas bedroom, noticing she was asleep. I smiled and walked ove to her - Leaning down and planting a kiss to her cute little forehead. Glancing around the room i noticed it was a mess - Toys scattered everywhere.

I sighed once again but yet not really minding because she evidently had, had fun.

I soon left kayla to sleep before jumping in the shower then walking into Troys and Mine bedroom with just a towel wrapped around my semi-wet body. I smiled noticing Troy was asleep - He looked soo cute when he was asleep...like a little baby. Kayla must have really worn him out. I began to change into some suitable clothing before gently and carefully climbing into bed next to Troy. Instantly Troy's arm moved to wrap around my waist.

"Hey baby" Troy murmured, his eyes still closed but obviously not asleep.

"Hey" I whispered back as Troy began to massage my waist with his thumb.

"I missed you today" He said, slowly opening is eyes while pulling me close to his body, our bodies fitting together like a jigsaw.

"I missed you too." I replied "Did you have fun with Kayla today?"

"Yeah but that girl can run. Im shattered and by the looks of you, you are to?"

"Now, do i take that as a compliment or insult?" I giggled.

"Definetly not an insult. I could never insult you Brie" Troy smirked

"Ok, but yeah i am incredibly tired...Troy?" I began

"Hhmm?"

"Things aren't ever going to be easy for us are they?" I asked.

"They will be. I promise. Its just hard right now because we are both trying to accomplish soo much on our own. We forget we have soo many friends there to help us"

"I guess"

"No, i know. We both want soo many things out of life Brie. It just so happens we thought we would be rebels and do it all in the wrong order" Troy chuckled causing me to giggle.

"Now, get some sleep babe" Troy said kissing me gently on the lips before resting in his previous postion, pulling me even closer, allowing my head to rest on my favourite position on his broad chest. I sighed blissfully before closing my eyes.
