"Aaron! Dinner!!"
"Yes sorella!"
It's just a normal city. With normal people, living lives as normally as they could.
For redith Rossi, and her younger brother this normal life wasn't so easy to co by. Running away from ho with a little brother to cater for wasn't easy.
"Sorella, you're not eating," Aaron pointed.
"Oh, never mind , go on eat up," she smiled.
"It's okay I miss mom too, but it's been a year now," he said while taking a bite out of his tofu.
Her shoulders dropped, "I know but if it wasn't for"
The 12-year-old pinched her cheek, "Stop it, it's not your fault! I won't forgive you if you keep talking like that!"
"I'm sorry," she muttered.
"Enough about that," he said and turned to his food, "it's getting cold."
She apologized again and started eating. Sotis, she forgets she's the older one among the two and should act more in charge but she tended to back away from difficult situations and couldn't also speak up when it mattered the most.
She was bullied a lot because of that and no matter how she tried to improved, she couldn't seem to overca the disability. Her best friend Sofia would be the one to save her from most of the challenges.
Sofia has been her best friend ever since she found her and her brother sleeping on the bench at the park.
redith had thought she was crazy at first when she had invited her and her brother ho. Who in their right mind invite a complete stranger to their ho or maybe she was the crazier one to follow a complete stranger ho?
It was the best decision she had ever made and Sofia's family has been good to her and her brother ever since she told them a half lie and half truth of her story.
Sofia would send them so allowances to support them and pay for her brother's school fees. Honestly, redith owed her a lot.
Her phone chirped; a ssage from Sofia. Speak of the devil.
"rri co et , I've got more books for you," it read.
"Aaron, stay ho. I'm going to et with Sofia," she said to her little brother.
On her way to Sofia's ho, she noticed how quiet the road was. Although it seed nice, she couldn't be too careful.
Sofia was waiting outside her ho with a brown shopping bag.
"Here," Sofia handed over the bag to her after they had exchanged pleasantries.
redith inspected the bag and of course, Sofia had outdone herself again. These were the best erotica one could acquire.
"Thank you very much Sofia," redith said, "This ans a lot."
"It's the least I can do for my favorite virgin pervert," Sofia smirked.
"I'm not"
"You're not a virgin?!!" Sofia faked being shocked, "Congratulations!"
"Stop that! I'm not a pervert," redith said while pouting.
"Says the one who likes those kinds of books and is still a virgin,"
"These are for preparation," redith said laly.
"Uh huh," Sofia shook her head and dipped her hand into her purse and pulled out an envelope, "Here, it's this week's allowance."
redith accepted it, "Thanks but"
"But?"
"Could I ask you for a favor?"
"Sure."
redith played with the fras of her glasses a bit before speaking, "Could you help
get a job?"
"You want to work?" Sofia asked, "But I told you that you shouldn't bother about that. I have you covered."
"I know about that but" redith looked at the ground, "I need to grow. I can't be protected by you forever you know? I need to learn how to stand on my own to support myself and my younger brother."
Sofia thought about it for a mont, "Do you have corporate clothes?"
redith's face brightened up, "Yes! Yes, I do!"
"I'll talk to an acquaintance of mine," Sofia rubbed her temple, "You'll start tomorrow."
redith jumped into Sofia's arms excitedly, "Thank you, big sis!"
"And stop calling
big sis, we're age mates you know?"
"I know but you are one to ," redith bead, "No seriously, you've done enough. You're my guardian angel."
Sofia's lips curled into a soft smile.
After bidding their goodbyes, redith returned ho.
"So, I'll be employed starting from tomorrow," she said to herself, "Wait that would an
waking up earlier than usual!"
She groaned and complained about the fact that she wouldn't be able to read the new books. As she crossed the street, she was so focused on her bag that she didn't notice the car which was heading her way.. The car which was about to change her boring life.
