sure that she could shower and get breakfast before her mother woke up and started her usual hangover histrionics.
Lying in her soft, queen sized bed, she relished the quiet. Her body was still primed to wake up by no later than seven, and she listened to the grounds coming alive outside. The sound of birds in the trees and the scurry of animals through the leaves. In the distance she could hear the low murmur of voices, but the fact that it was Sunday meant that everything was slow and peaceful, and she loved it.
Tomorrow, she would have to go back to the grind of working two jobs, but for the moment, she was enjoying laying in bed and not having anywhere to be.
It occurred to her that now that she was no longer supporting her mother, there was no real reason why she needed to work two jobs. Whatever happened to her mom was going to happen, and it wasn’t like she had rent or a mortgage to worry about when it came to the place she was currently living…
“Huh,” she murmured under her breath, rolling onto her side and staring at her closet doors. With her expenses drastically reduced now, she could actually work at having savings. Things that she never thought she could have before were suddenly much more feasible, and it was a heady thought.
For the last few years, she’d been doing double duty. Working mornings at a coffee shop in town and evenings as a waitress. The money was alright, but she usually cleaned up in tips. Her earnings had been enough to keep food on the table at home, but now she didn’t really need both jobs.
A knock at her bedroom door broke her out of her thoughts, and she stretched languidly, pulling the covers up more before calling out for whoever it was (and she already knew it was either Ben or one of the maids) to come in.
Ben stuck his head in and she grinned at him. He was used to her early hours and was the only person she knew who kept earlier hours than she did.
“Just thought I’d check on you before I head out,” he said. “I’m going to meet with a couple more people who’re interested in being on Dorian’s security team.”
“How’s that going?” Andrea asked. She hadn’t had a lot of time to catch up with her brother in the few days that they had both been living there.
“Pretty good. Dorian still has to meet everyone and make the final decisions, but I think he’s going to be pleased with the people I picked.”
“Look at you making strides in the world,” Andrea teased him.
“That’s me. You wanna grab dinner later tonight? I feel bad that I’ve been pretty much leaving you on your own these last couple of days.”
Andrea shook her head and sat up a bit. “Don’t worry about it. I know you’re busy. And anyway, Dorian’s been showing me around and stuff. I’ve been eating with him and Anita lately.”
Ben raised his eyebrows at that, but didn’t make it into a big deal. “Okay. Well, that’s good. Dinner, though?”
“Sounds like a plan. I’ll be here.”
“Great. I’ll come get you around seven. Have a good day.”
He was gone before she could reply, and Andrea rolled her eyes and flopped back against her pillows. That was her brother. Always on the move.
She laid in bed for a bit more and then decided that she might as well use her time off to make some decisions about the way she wanted her life to go. If she didn’t need both jobs, then quitting one made sense, and it was even possible that she could get a better job down the line.
But first she had some decisions to make.
Well…
Andrea eyed the closed door of the absolutely beautiful ensuite bathroom. Maybe first she’d take a nice, long hot bath.
After her bath and a quick breakfast (eaten with Anita because Dorian was nowhere to be found, and she couldn’t think of a casual way to ask where he was), Andrea retreated to her sitting room, plopping down on her couch with her laptop and opening a fresh word document.
Her brother had always been fond of the pro/con
