My eyes flutter open as the sound of my alarm gets louder and louder, the ray of sunshine peeps through my curtain, and I reached out for my phone to turn off the alarm. As I sit on the bed, stretching out a loud yawn escapes my mouth "I need to get ready….Just five more minutes" I rubbed my eyes before slamming my face into the pillow and drifting back to sleep.Shortly, I woke up and let out a yawn as I stretched my arms and grabbed my phone I looked at the time"Ohh no, I’m late for work, Nadia is gonna kill me," I said as I quickly rushed into the bathroom.As soon as I left the bathroom, my work shirt along with black straight skirt, a white silk scarf which I used to cover my hair, and black flat shoes. I applied lipgloss and looked at my reflection through the mirror, a smile found its way."I’m already late" I whispered before I grabbed my bag and exited the room I microwaved the food Rayan packed for Khalil last night as I knew I didn’t have much time to cook, I arranged Ja
I arrived home early today, I met Rayan at the grocery store and he decided to drop me off. I wasn’t willing to go with him but I knew I have no choice as the weather was starting to change and finding a ride would be hard for me.Once I placed my hand on the door handle I heard a car pull over, I turned around and saw Noor coming out of the car which wasn’t surprising for me because different cars drop her off almost every day. I was about to open the door when a man came out, he looked a bit familiar but I couldn’t remember when I saw him. I watched them as they kept talking."Isn’t this the guy that walked into the bakery store a few days ago" I muttered As they began to walk towards the door I quickly stepped into the house not wanting to have any conversation with them.As I entered the house, I saw Jamil and Hannah seated on the couch eating popcorn while watching a cartoon, they glanced at me as they turned back and faced the television.I was about to walk towards my room dir
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW "Yes, I want everything to be at my doorstep before 9 am." He said as he took a sip of coffee "I don’t care, you heard what I said." He growled out before he hung up the callAs he hung up the call he walked to his bed and lay on it before he heard a soft knock on the door, before he could say anything the door opened."We need to leave now." "Now? It’s past eleven, can’t we wait till tomorrow?""Now means now Rayan and please be quiet I don’t want us disturbing anyone’s sleep." "Okay Abu." He said as he grabbed his jacket and left the room.Once they finish the job and arrived home, he entered his room and changed into comfortable clothes. He let out a deep sigh and fell onto the bed. "I can’t believe I have to do this" He muttered before he fell asleep.The sunrise as its shades its sunlight through the window directly on his face. He groaned as he stretch his arms, a loud yawn escapes his mouth. He quickly walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Soon
Once I arrived home, as always Noor is sited on the couch and is angry about something, I glanced at her as she furrowed her face, I’m sure she’s angry about what Rayan did. When I was at the bakery, Khalil called me and told me everything, I seriously didn’t expect that from Rayan, I mean I know he’s a nice person but I never thought he would care about Khalil to the extent he would buy a lot for him.As I entered my room, I gaped at it, I can’t believe how messy and scattered the room is, without knowing what exactly happened here, I can tell Jamil and Hannan did this, those children will never stop doing this no matter how I tell them to stop. I eyed the room in frustration before I took off my shoes and walked into the bathroom. I have been working hard lately, I want to impress Maha so she would make me the manager of the grocery store. Amal and I have applied for the competition and in a few weeks or less, we will participate in the trial. I just hope we pass, if we enter the fi
Another day of work and extreme body pain, my back hurts really bad and I know that won’t be a good enough excuse to take a leave from work. I’m already leaving for a week because of the trial, I just hope Nadia doesn’t replace us after we leave, well Nadia won’t but if the boss finds out he might. I stretched my arms before I let out a loud yawn."Today is gonna be a tough day" I groaned.I throw the covers off me, rubbed my eyes, and stretched to the chest of my drawers to take out my work clothes.Once I took them out I realized there were unpressed and had a lot of wrinkles on them. I sometimes wish the fabric doesn’t require ironing. I took the clothes and placed them on the floor, I grabbed a damp towel and placed it on top of the cloth, I pressed down the towel and smoothed it out with my hands. I repeatedly continued until the wrinkles lessened.I learned this method when I was fourteen years old, I had no choice but to learn it because my stepmom refused to buy an iron presse
Once I was done with all my chores, I made sure Khalil took his medicine and Jamil and Hannan went to bed. I entered my room and changed into a pink pajama and a black shirt. I sat on my bed with a laptop kept on my thighs, I borrowed the laptop from Amal, I needed to complete some documents for the grocery store. Maha has been quite impressed by my work and she said she is thinking of making me the manager. I was very elated when she said that, and helping her complete this document will give her another reason why she needs me as a manager. Even with the trials coming, I have to make a place for myself at the grocery store just in case Amal and I don’t make it to the finals.I let out a yawn grabbing my bottled water, I took a sip and continued what I was doing. "I should probably sleep right now." I groaned "No, no, not till I finish what I am doing." I tried to convince myself as I gently tapped my cheek.Once I opened my eyes widely, I began to slowly close it. I am very exhaust
I was tangled in the sheets and blankets, laying on my stomach with a pillow covering my head. I lifted my elbow slightly, the pillow tumbled over. My eyes were squinted as the sun shine through the curtains making me groan and lay my head back on the mattress. I slowly turned over to my back, my arm reaching over to rest over my eyes. My alarm started going off making me basically wanna run mad. I felt more drained and exhausted as I reach for the phone and turned it off. I seriously should be sleeping right now. I let out a yawn stretching my arms, I pulled the blanket off my body. Letting the longest yawn, I walked into the bathroom. Starting a quick shower and then went to brush my teeth. I looked at my reflection, my eyes looked drained making it obvious that I didn’t have enough sleep.Once I was done, I wore my clothes and head out of the room. I’m mentally and physically exhausted. As I walked towards the kitchen I saw Noor sited on the living room couch.Why is she up early
"Welcome to Amees Bakery, how may I help you?" I said to a customer that just walked in."Hi dear, I will like to have.." He paused as he looked at the menu board "I will like to have.." He tapped his chin Oh lord, another day with a type of customer that wastes time before he will order a thing, and the most annoying part about this is that he will only order one single thing. Yesterday and the day before this same customer came, it took him almost thirty minutes before he ordered something, and guess what he ordered, one black coffee. "Sir what will you like to have?" I asked "I’m not sure of what to order." He responded "Will you like to order a black coffee," I smiled "Black coffee, yes, yes I will love that." He smiled As I said, black coffee is always what he wants. I let out a breath, turning back I turned on the coffee machine. Days like this make me wonder if two jobs are actually helping me. Once I was done making the black coffee, I took it to the customer. Shortly a
