------------------------------------------------------------
Finding a job was not easy. So Nadia was simple. Ten blank white pieces of paper, a couple tacks, and home made flyers all over the school. With 5.00 dollars left in her pocket her phone finally vibrated a couple days later.
Nadia eagerly accepted the offer.
Nadia put the 5.00 in her tank, and drove to the BeachWood apartments. They were that same apartments that Shawn stayed in. It was just a little ten minute drive away. Nadia made sure that she locked her car up before she climbed the steps to the apartment.
A girl her age if not older answered the door.
The girl told Nadia over the phone that her name was Faye. She was kinda peculiar looking with a long looking face. She sported some long wavy light brown weave, and she was taller than Nadia by at least 3 inches.
She was very lanky.
"You are a life saver. FSU got some crazy prices. Normally I wouldn't do this, but I'm trying to save money, and they ask for an arm, and a leg. My son's name is Mikey. He's two. Come in though. I don't have a lot, but your welcomed to what little I have. I have a list for him. I should be back from work around 8:30pm."
Nadia nodded. "Um, where is Mikey?" Faye lead Nadia to another part of the house telling her about Mikey as she handed Nadia a small list of things about him. An adorable looking little boy with too big eyes, and very curly hair laid down on his mother bed -- sucking his sippy cup while watching TV.
Nadia smiled. "Awe, he's cute Faye." Faye smiled. "Yeah, he's usually quiet though. The doctor says he's okay though. I don't know though. I see other little kids running around crazily, but this is what he does most of the day." Faye shrugged. "Well I gotta go, thank you again."
Nadia followed Faye letting her out, and locking the door behind her.
Faye was right Mikey just laid there engulfed in oomie zoomie still sucking on his sippy cup. Nadia took it when it was empty. "Mikey, are you hungry?" Mikey just nodded. Nadia picked him up from the bed putting him on his feet. Nadia held his hand walking to kitchen.
Nadia opened the fridge to reveal bologna, juice, hot dogs, bread, milk, bacon, and eggs
"Do you wanna hot dogs?" Mikey pointed at the juice first. Nadia unscrewed the top filling his cup again, before handing it to him. Mikey smile drinking from it again. Nadia took the hot dogs out heating up the stove before she filled a pot with water, and dumped two hotdogs in.
Nadia kissed Mikeys forehead when she sat him at the small kitchen table.
He was so sweet, and cute. Nadia sat with him waiting til the dogs started to boil. Nadia took them out cutting them up very small. Nadia pushed the plate over to him. Mikey put his juice down palming each hot dog, one by one.
Nadia smiled ruffling his hair when she felt her phone vibrate three times.
Jodi(1) Shawn(2)
From Jodi
I'm about to request me another roommate, this bitch just let out a nasty ass fart, got the room smelling like eggs.
Nadia started laughing, ever since Nadia wasn't there Jodi had been complaining about her room mate.
To Jodi
U know you can't write that down as a complaint right?
From Shawn
How you doing?
From Shawn
Noticed you put up some flyers for work. I like how you put yo self out there, that some sexy shit. Independent, and out putting, (I like that.)
Nadia smiled. When she wasn't looking to impress Shawn she did, but when she was trying to she didn't.
To Shawn
I'm fine, :) and you know I gotta do what it do, I can make time for some extra money.
Nadia told Shawn she was working at a small clothing boutique not to far from the campus. It was another lie. The babysitting job was her only job, but she wanted him to believe she was at least doing something.From Jodi
lol, I miss you so much pleaaasssseeeeeeeee come live with me.
Nadia smiled putting her phone up to see Mikey still eating. He was really chowing down. He even had a cute little dance while he was putting each piece in his mouth. Nadia started doing it with him, and he laughed making Nadia smile as her phone vibrated again.
From Shawn
Shhiit I hear you on that, maybe I need to babysit too. I know u fine I'm asking how yo doing tho?
Nadia smiled, it was so corny, and over used, but for some reason when Shawn said it, it was very intridging.To Shawn;
I'm good. lol Smh.
Nadia looked up when she heard Mikeys feet on the floor, he landed on his butt.
Nadia expected him to cry, but he just stood up again walking. "Mikey, lemme wipe your hands baby." Nadia called to him. He paused turning to look at Nadia.
Nadia lifted him into her arms taking him to the bathroom she wet his hands, and dried them before she started smelling poo. Nadia took Mikey to the bed room laying him on the small changing table in the corner she took apart his jeans while he was still sucking on his cup full of juice.
Nadia wiped him clean before putting on another pair of big boy pants on him along with his jeans.
Nadia had noticed Faye had a baby blue playskool training toilet in the bathroom. It was obvious he was still learning to go.
Nadia was with Mikey till 8:45pm when Faye tiredly came in.
Faye handed Nadia 40.00 dollars. "Thank you. Did Mikey use his trainer toilet?" Nadia shook her head. "No, sorry Faye." Faye sighed. "Girl, he will pee in that thing, but not poop for some reason." Nadia laughed. "He's a sweet little boy though."
Faye smiled. "Bye Nadia, thank you again. I'll probably be calling you again."
Nadia waved goodbye to Faye as she walked to her car. Nadia put twenty away to save, and used the rest to get something to eat as she spent the rest of the night texting, Shawn, and Jodi til her phone died.
