Chapter: 4

Today is my first day of my vacation; I'm planning to do something different from every year. I always think about writing books. May be this is the time to start it.

First thing I should start cleaning my apartment. Then I should call my mom and check how she is doing without me this summer. For past 21 years I spent my summer with my mom, this is my first summer I'm spending in Seattle.

I woke up at 10, already bonnie went to office. She is very excited about being a journalist. I applied for couple of publishing houses in Seattle, I hope I get it or I will be in serious trouble.

By 2, I finish cleaning home and had a bubble bath. I prepare myself green salad for lunch. When I finish my lunch, my phone starts to ring.

I pick up my phone and saw Bennie's photo. "Hello what's up?"

"Oh, care nothing I have to go to New York today and I will be coming home in 2 hours".

"Why?"

"It seems that new art gallery is opening tomorrow and I have to write an article about it."

"Oh, ok, come home I won't be sleeping. Do I have to pack your things ah?"

"No, no, I will pack. I just want to inform you."

"Okay"

"Bye, see you in hours"

I finish my dishes and bonnie arrives at 5. We exchange pleasantries and she went to her room to pack her things for her trip.

By 7 she finished her packing and brings her luggage to living room. I was in kitchen making sandwich for both of us. There was a knock on the door and bonnie went to open it. It's Kate and she came with big luggage than bonnie.

It's big and it can hold a 2 year boy. "Are you going to relocate to New York Kate?" I asked her.

"Shut up care."

"Seriously, why you need this big luggage anyways?"

"Oh, come on care its new York for god sake. We should be fashionable and I'm really excited to visit New York."

"I thought you guys are going to stay for couple of days."

"What Couple of days! We are going to stay for 1 week".

"What?" asked bonnie with freaking tone? This clearly shows that bonnie didn't know about Kate plan.

"Bon, we are going to new York. Of course we want to enjoy the city. It's a big opportunity bon. Trust me it's going to be magical."

"Bon, not everyone get chance to visit New York and you should enjoy the city and have some fun bon" I told bonnie. It's true not everyone get a chance to visit New York. I dreamt about going to New York and shop in Times Square.

Finally Kate and I convince bonnie that New York trip is going to be magical. Bonnie packed some extra clothes and some things which she may need for her stay in city for 1 week.

"It's almost time, bye care take care. I will call from city."

"Ok, bye bon, take care and have a safe journey."

"Bye care" said Kate.

"Bye!Kate. Have some fun" I said to Kate and I hug her.

I close the door and lean on it. It's the first time I'm going to be alone. I never had been alone in my life. I always have someone with me.

I watch TV for some time but nothing interests me. So I went to my room and search something to read. I love reading books. It always keep me interest and not to worry about my life.

I read all kinds of novel. But my number one priority is romance. I'm believer of hopeless romantic. It's nothing wrong to believe in love and have some fantasy about love life.

We can only image certain things because it may not happen in your life. I always dreamt about prince charming to come and rescue me from my life.

I come across Dan brown's the last symbol. I'm a huge fan of Dan brown. I almost read all his books and his work inspire me to see the world. I really want to visit Europe. I love how he describes the cities and define about minute things.

I f I'm lucky enough, I may visit Europe. Luck is always far from me. I have a thing that what I like or love for certain things, I don't get it. In my life I never get anything I love.

That's why I love to read book and I can image myself having those things that I can't have.

I don't know when I fell asleep. The next morning I woke up at 8 and shut off my alarm clock. I done my morning routine and went to kitchen to grab my tea.

I read my newspaper and I saw headline that some guy name Klaus become richest man alive. Nearly 2 columns have written about his success. Some people think being richer, make them happy. But it's not true, money don't make you happy.

Some people always whine about things, they don't have. I always believe in god and I believe that if you don't get something you like, don't worry you may be end up with better things.

I went to my kitchen to do my dishes, and then only I come across that I need certain things from grocery store. In grocery store I bought the things I need and I was waiting in queue to pay my bill.

My phone starts to ring and I check the caller id and its aunt Jenna. I haven't spoken spoke to Aunt Jenna in ages. I wonder why she calls me.

"Hi, care, how are you?"

"I'm fine, how are you and how is your job going on?"

She answers me hesitantly. "Hey, are you free tomorrow?"

"Yeah I'm free tomorrow. What's up?"

"Nothing, can you help me tomorrow with catering. This is a huge opportunity and Jeremy got flu, so Elena has to stay with him. I hire some waitress but she bailed on me. I can pay you 20 dollars an hour. What you say?"

She was waiting for my answer. I'm free tomorrow evening and it may be good experience for me. So I replied "yeah, sure at what time I have to meet you and where?"

"Thank you care, I will text you the address and time."

"Ok Jenna, see you"

"Bye care, see you tomorrow" with that she hang up. I hope tomorrow everything should go smooth.

I went home and start to take out the things I have brought and arrange it in kitchen. By the time bonnie text me, that she arrived New York safely. She and Kate are getting ready for gala and she told that she will send me photo of her dress.

I lock my front door and went downstairs to do my laundry which I haven't done in one week. With my final semester exam, I got little busy, now only I got time to do it.

I'm standing in my basement staring at the wall and waiting for my laundry to finish. A tall guy entered with huge basket. He is African American with well build muscle. He has cute brown eyes.

He is wearing black t-shirt with brown shorts. He is struggling to put quarter in the machine and he is making annoying noise.

I can't bear the noise any longer, so I offer to help him. "Hi, can I help you?"

"Yeah, sure, I can't put my quarter in the machine"

"You have the quarter upside down, that's why it's not entering in the machine. Give the quarter" asked him with my palm wide open.

He place the quarter in my palm and I put it in the machine and it starts to work.

"Thanks, I'm jess and you are?"

"Hi, I'm Caroline Forbes and you are welcome."

"So, Caroline what are you doing?"

"I finished my college and I'm waiting for my job. What you do?"

"I'm an accountant in Michaelson Company."

"Working in corporate, it must be tough I guess." I try to have a polite conversion and it's good to know about your neighbor's; being friendly with them.

"It's everyone's dream in Seattle to work in Michaelson Company."

"What kind of job you searching for? I can help you with that. You can work for my company though."

"No thanks, I'm looking for publishing company and I like to work as editor."

By the time, my laundry got over and I open the machine; I grab my stuff and head off to the door. I reach the door when jess called me.

"It's really nice meeting you Caroline."

"It's nice to see you too."

"Can we get coffee sometime?"

"Sure, see you around" . I turn and went to my flat. I fold my clothes and arrange it in my closet. I get a text message from bonnie and she sent me the photo of her dress. It's so beautiful.

Nothing interested me in TV, so I check my Gmail to see if I got any notification for my job. I got a mail form Seattle publishing house. They want to interview me for assistant; interview at 10 a.m. on Monday.

God, I'm really excited for the interview. I hope I may get this job and my career going to start. I want to prepare for my interview. First I have to search good outfit for my interview. Good outfit always make good impression, I learn this from my carry class.

I came with white shirt, black skirt with black pumps. I wish I had better clothes. First I have to buy some clothes with my first month salary.

I went to bed very early. Tomorrow is big day for Jenna and I can have some fun helping her. I learned so much from Aunt Jenna. She is a good adviser.
