1 CHAPTER ONE

♦♦♦♦♦

"Living with my younger brother, I had to take care of him, his school fees and everything.

All that, is my responsibility, and yes I had to take care of myself too.

I finished from NYU (New York University). I don't know my parents, I've never even met them, or even know what their names are.

I used to be in a foster home, and was adopted by this beautiful and loving couples who had no kids of their own.

They treated me well and with much love like I was their own. Then thankfully, they had a boy, we were all so happy and I love the baby like my own brother.

They never changed, or treated me differently.

Then we got into an accident, and they both died, leaving me and Jason my brother alone in this world.

I was 4 when they adopted me, and they got Jason when I was 12 and now I am 21. Making Jason 9.

They died when I was 16, its been 5years

I call them my parents, because they may not have given birth to me, but they brought me up, took care of me, and made me the person I am.

I miss them everyday.

I don't have a good job, I've been searching and applying for jobs, but they wouldn't take me, it's either the boss wants to sleep with me or they just hate me.

I finished with Major on Fashion Designing.

Went to a cooking school as well and I've worked with some good companies but left in the end, for the reasons above.

I am currently working in a cafe downtown, a little bit far from my house. My parents had a house and a car. Which was mine now and I won't let anything happen to their property because it reminds me of them.

I don't really like this job but they're the only ones I've worked with this long, and the payment is not very bad. So I'll manage.

Well this is my life.... AMAYA WATSON"

••••••••••

"Okay, make sure to be good okay?" I said to Jason dropping him off in school. We were already at the parking lot right now. He is sitting in the passenger's sit, and about dropping.

He always complained I'm going to drive away the girls crushing on him.

"I am always a good boy" he replied. Emphasizing the always. Okay, I may be a little or more over protective of him but I have to. He's my only family.

He's my brother.

"I know Darling. So, I'll pick you up later? Love you" I gave him a kiss on the forehead and he smiled. Opening the door and got off.

"I love you Amy". With that he was off, and this is almost 8 O'Clock i can't be late for work.

I drove fast to work, I'm not a rough rider though.

Immediately I got to work, I was ready to serve and make money.

I greeted my only friend in the cafe, Cassie, she's the only one that's not rude and has a good sense of humor. The rest you can say, are just trouble.

I have 5 tables for me today, and that is. 1,3,5,7,8,. Well that's not so bad I thought.

I better get to work.

••••••••••••

Hours later

It was almost 5 PM which means I have about 1 hour left here. I don't pick Jason directly from school, my parents had a close friend before they died. And their son, Mike is friends with Jason so he goes there after school and I pick him up from there after work. I'm glad they're cool with it and totally understand. They are very nice and kind family.

I decided to call Jason to check up on him. I currently have no tables to attend to, 2 out of three are occupied so I could as well use this time to talk with Jason.

"Hey, how you coping?" I asked after he answers the phone.

"I'm fine sis, I just finished eating. Everything's okay. How's work there?" Jason asked from the other end of the phone.

"Eh pretty much okay. So, I was thinking should i order for pizza or hamburgers? And we can watch movies, but I didn't know what movie to get soooo..."

I trailed off.

"Oh oh yesss don't worry I'll pick the movie and before you argue its not a 9 year old movie, so chill and burgers should do"

"Well good for us then, I'll be going. Love ya"

"Love ya too Amy"

I ended the call.

"Please if you're done with your lovey dovey on the phone can you attend to me?"

someone said, behind me and Immediately turned.

I met eyes with this really good looking guy,with grey eyes and really handsome but dull face.

He was actually beautiful, his hair fell roughly but in a sexy way.

"Uhm earth to" he leans forward to read my name tag.

"Amaya" he blinks..

"Uhm hi, sorry" I cleared my throat.

"What may I help you with?" I asked blinking like something had entered my eyes, well his looks certainly entered my eyes.

Gosh! what is wrong with me today?!

"I wanted to pay, you served my table earlier, the one over there" he points to table 5. Oh the table with the dark hair lady that's annoying.

Why will someone like him be with her?

I collected my pay, and they left.

It was 5:49 right now. I don't have any more tables to attend to so I'll just sign out.

After that done, I got out, started my car and headed to McDonald to get me and Jason dinner.

•••••••••••••

"Okay thank you" I paid to the cashier and got out.

About 40 minutes later, I was with Jason, eating and watching a movie which is not so bad after all. We finished eating, and retired for bed.

I wasn't sleepy yet, so I decided to check my laptop to see if I have any message from the jobs I applied, unfortunately there was none. I plugged in my phone and laptop, and slowly I began to drift away. I have work tomorrow.

I needed a better job!
