one of the drunks

EMMA 》

I reached for my phone on the bedside table next to me, gripping it in my hands as it deep slightly of. I read the message, that made my phone vibrate numerous times.

Lisa- Emma, ran needs you.

Lisa- Emma! Where are you?

Lisa- EMMA ANSWER MY CALLS

I throw my clothes on in panic as I race for my car and drive myself to work, god knows what the time is, or who I'm meeting, I needed to hurry!

I arrive at the cafe on the high street that we arranged to meet at five hours earlier. "Emma, there's been to many mistakes, I'm afraid you have to go." And like that my life was over.

As soon as I got in my car I reached for any job I could to pay my rent, and to my surprise there was one that stood out to me; babysitting. I had always wanted a child, growing up with no siblings it had always been a dream of mine to become a mum. Maybe this could be great practice.

And within moments I was on my way for an interview with the little girls grandparents.

I got out of my car and walked up the patio steps and knocked the door. She welcomed me in and sat me down.

"My name's rebecca, and this is David. We are Angela's grandparents as if said on the ad," she was really kind. And she smelt like the beach.

"I'm Emma, my recent jobs have been modeling and acti-" she cuts me of.

"What made you change your mind?" She digs way down deep.

"Change of heart, the pressure I guess."

I was then Introduced to the lady herself, Angela. She was 4 years old and had sparkling blue eyes. She was wearing a pink frilly top with black lace leggings that hung above her ankles. She was model material.

"Is it ok if I ask where her parents are?" I say trying not to sound disrespectful.

"Her mother actually died giving birth to her, but you will meet her father now." She took me Into a room with pictures strung like fairy lights on the wall, and canvas' hung from the windows.

"I'm killian," he shakes my hand as he picks up Angela and squeezes her tight.

His muscles burst out of his grey, sweaty t-shirt.

I begin to drool as he puts her down and airs it out. HE is my happy ending.
