Beginning of First Chapter

She woke up at 5:30 the next morning and proceeded to the go to the bathroom to wash her face. She then dried her face with a towel and changed into her jogging clothes. She jogged for about an hour and went back home to have breakfast and after breakfast she took a bath and changed into house clothes and donned an apron. She cooked pork adobo, fried chicken, braised beef, fish fillet, green leafy salad with tofu and cheese, steamed vegetables and potato that's cooked in three ways: potato salad, mashed potato and french fries. For dessert she baked apple pie and made a fruit salad. She placed all the food in a microwavable containder and placed them all in the refrigerator. She was relieved that now all they have to do is to reheat the food every mealtime and anytime when they are hungry. 

She rested during the afternoon and continued reading the ebook by her favorite author. 

I Can't Help It

I Can't Help It

I'm happy with you

And that's what matters

Not you're past

Not who you are

And not who you are not.

I just can't help it.

I just can't help but fall in love with you. 

The First Meeting

Alexa was at a restaurant eating lunch and at the same time reading today's newspaper when she came across an advertisement for a job vacancy. She immediately got a highlighter from her leather sling bag and encircled the advertisement. She just graduated from college and she's looking for a job. She's lucky that she found a vacancy for assistant restaurant manager that requires minimal or no experience. The job is clearly for her as she graduated with a Management course from a prestigious university. She is so happy and greatful to have found the advertisement. It's probably her lucky day today. She prayed hard that she will be accepted for this position. 

After she had her lunch, she asked for the bill and paid for her lunch. She then went back to their home. She lives with her Mom who is right now in her Ipad looking at photos of her friends on facebook. 

"Hi Mom. I'm back. I just had lunch, how about you?", she asked her mom. 

"Oh, that's good honey. I already had lunch too. So what are you up to for today?", asked her mom.

"Oh I'm going to prepare and iron my clothes for tomorrow when I will apply for a job. I saw the job vacancy ad on the daily newspaper, Mom.', she told her Mom.

"Well, that's great sweetheart. I wish you all the luck in the world. I hope that you get accepted.", her Mom said.

"I sure home so too, Mom. I'm so excited and I couldn't wait to start working.", she said.

"Can you tell me about the ad that you saw and for what position is the job vacancy, sweetheart?, her Mom asked.

"It's for an assistant manager position in Soup Restaurant. You know that restaurant near Holiday Hotel?", she asked her Mom.

"Sure I know about the restaurant. I'm glad that they have a job vacancy and that you are able to find out about it through the daily newspaper.", said her Mom.

"I am so happy that I came accross their ad. And what's best is that they don't require any experience to apply for this job.", she told her Mom. 

"That's good to hear sweetheart. Well, since I don't have anything important to do I might as well cook dinner ahead of time so that it we can have dinner early because you have to wake up early morning tomorrow. So, what do you want for dinner, sweetheart?, asked her Mom. 

"Oh, you don't have to worry Mom, I cooked lots of food and placed them on the ref. All we have to do is reheat them.", she said to her Mom. 

"Ok, no problem sweetheart. I hope you don't mind that I'll go to the kitchen now to start heating for our dinner later.", said her Mom. 

"Sure Mom, I don't mind, go ahead. I will also have to prepare the clothes that I will wear for applying for work tomorrow.", she said while going to her room.  

Once inside her room, she opened her locker and chose a brown slacks and a white colored long sleeved blouse. She took it out of the locker and went to the ironing board and started to iron the clothes that she picked. 

After that she cleaned her black heels and made sure that its sparkly clean. She went again to her locker and took out a hanky. There, that should complete the clothes that she will wear for tomorrow. Now, she had two more things left to do. Prepare her resume and application letter and arrange her bags and make sure that everything she need are there. 

She prepared her resume and her bag and then took a quick nap. She woke up with her Mom knocking on her door telling her to come out and eat dinner. 

"Ok Mom, I'm coming. Thanks!", she said in a sleepy voice.
