Maritza leaned against the counter, her black painted fingernails tapping repeatedly on the wood. Her eyes were glued to the clock, watching as the second hand slowly ticked it's way closer and closer to the twelve. In her head, she was counting the seconds down, until another dreaded day at work would be over. For a brief moment, the short girl glanced away from the clock and over to her little sister, where Isa sat at the corner table, scribbling away at her coloring book. Ritza couldn't help but smile softly watching her blonde curls bob up and down with each movement. With a sigh, she glanced at the clock, smiling wide. Her shift was now officially over! Quickly, she darted to the staff door, clocking out with a happy sigh.
All her energy was gone, between school and work, she was exhausted. Thankfully it was a Saturday, meaning she could sleep in all she wanted the next morning. She pulled the hair band out of her hair, letting the multi-colored brown locks spill over her shoulders. After sliding the band around her wrist, she left from behind the counter, after making a small goodbye to one of the other workers.
With a happy smile, she skipped over to Isa, scooping the small three year old up in her arms and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Ready to go home?" She asked her sister quietly, glancing down at the coloring book. Isa squirmed at the kiss with a giggle. "But I want a cookie!" The tiny girl exclaimed, giving puppy dog eyes up at Maritza. Ritza wrinkled her nose, but she couldn't find it in her to deny her sister anything. "Just one okay?" She said in a playfully stern voice as she sat her back down in the chair, only to go back behind the counter and snatch one of the cookies from the tray.
They can take it out of my pay. [/size] |
