Thread: An Unexpected Opportunity...(thisisnotforyou & Squee)

What was left of the week and weekend was about the same for Sophia. While she found it easy to occupy her time with finals, studying, and even a few chores around the house. She was almost to excited to even sleep at night. She would bounce between, 'what if he changes his mine', 'what if he forgets', this is going to be great' . Her mind just couldn't stay on one train of thought. Even her parents thought they noticed something. When they asked her she merely brushed it off as excitement for the summer to start. Too busy with other things, they excepted this lie eagerly. Finally after an overly long weekend, Monday arrived. She had changed her mind more then a couple times about what she would wear today. First it was a simple sun dress, then it changed to a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Settling on a cute little white and blue pleated skirt, she paired it with a cropped t-shirt. Slipping her feet into a light blue pair of heels, she rushed through hair and make-up. Skipping breakfast with the family, she would just make a detour to the cafe on her way. She didn't want to run the risk of her parents wondering why she was so dressed up in the morning. Grabbing her car keys she rushed down the stairs and towards the door. I'm heading to meet Ammie at the park, I will check in later. She shouted from the front door. Not much time passed when she was met with a shout from her parents. Have fun, be careful, and tell her we said hi. Sophia barely heard the last part as she rushed through the door. After picking up a muffin and a caramel breve, she made her way quickly towards Mr. Duncan's house. She had to glance at the address a few times to make sure she was going the right way. When she pulled up outside the house she nodded an approval to herself. It wasn't as big as her own house, but then he also didn't have an over abundance of kids to house. Muffin in a paper bag, she checked herself in the fold down mirror. She wanted to look nice for her first day and all. Reaching over she grabbed her shoulder bag. It held a few things she thought she might need for the day. Sophia nearly ran towards the door in her excitement. Knocking, she was worried he wasn't home when it took longer then she would have expected. From the smile on his face when he answered, her fear that he would change his mind or forget, was left far behind. Hi Mr. Duncan, she smiled back at him. Walking through the door after he invited her in. The place looked nicer then she thought it would for a single guy. The one item she knew he would have for sure, the large TV on the wall. Nice house, she didn't want to seem rude by just staring at everything. Taking a seat on the sofa when he walked into the kitchen, Sophia crossed her legs at the ankle. Her grandmother taught her this, telling her when in another person's home you had to sit proper. Granted 80 years ago was very different then it was now. Sitting by herself, she felt the butterfly of nerves race around her stomach. Should she even be here, could they get in trouble for this. Mentally shaking the thoughts away. Of course this was okay, it was just a summer job. She was just setting her shoulder bag down at her feet when he walked into the room. For a moment she looked confused at the envelope he tossed on the table. Not really expecting to get paid right away, let alone at all. Shyly she leaned forward to pick it up. The movement caused the neckline of her shirt to fall open slightly. Just a hint of white lace from her bra could be seen. Sophia peaked inside the envelope. It looked like a lot of money, uuummm are you sure this isn't too much? She asked the question, thinking maybe he made a mistake.
