My Love is a Playboy

Rina Maria Alysia's

"Sister, I want to quit school so I can help you make money, so I can help Ryan stay in school, too."

Ronald's words made me stop cleaning up the fish I was going to prepare for lunch today.

"You and Ryan have to stay in school, that's all brother's hopes. You guys should be able to finish school." I said

"But I feel sorry for you, you know, one night make money on our fees, I can stop for a year and Ryan will work together first, okay?" reply Ronald.

"Ronald, stop thinking that you're going to quit school, I'm not going to let you do that" I said to Ronald, who lowered his head on the table.

"You don't have to quit school, Ronald. I'm here to help you and your brother" Adrian said, surprising us all of a sudden.

"Adrian, stop, you always surprise us." I said with a laugh.

Adrian Samaniego is my best friend, he is always there to help us. Sometimes I feel embarrassed because almost every day he brings us food and rice.

"Alysia told me" said Adrian

She used to call me Alysia because my last name was Alysia, and I was used to being called that.

"Adrian, come here tonight." I invited him.

"It looks like it's going to rain, I'll be here around seven in the evening" Adrian said.

"Huh? Why are you coming at seven?"

"I'll take you where you're going, I'll also pick you up when you get out so you can save on the fare" Adrian replied.

"Oh Adrian, stop. I'll go home by myself, I'll be home from work at five in the morning." I replied to him.

"Alysia, I'm five o'clock awake too. Tomorrow I wake up early because I have my father's business so I go to the office early."

He was still a little pushy, I could only thank him and could not force what I wanted. I knew he wouldn't stop nagging if he refused, so yes I let him.

Three years ago, when I was 17, our parents died in a car accident. Now that I'm 20 years old, since they died I've covered all my brothers' living expenses.

I've been a father and mother to them for three years, and Adrian never got tired of helping me. I was really ashamed of him but he was always the one who insisted no matter what I refused to do.

Sometimes when I come home from work, I just eat rice and potluck. Usually he would leave a note on my desk to remind me not to refuse his help or he would get angry, so I couldn't do anything. Inevitably I still accepted his help and thanked him wholeheartedly.

"Ronald, the hunt serves the mountain Adrian is still here so we can eat together." I said to my sister.

"Okay brother, I'll call Ryan to eat together" replied Ronald.

Adrian and his family have a close relationship with my family. Our mother was a good friend and maybe that's why we became close to each other and we also grew up like brothers.

"Oh yes, Lorna said that there is a new Italian restaurant opening near the Hamilton hotel. Maybe you want to apply there, he said they are recruiting staff now and the owner himself who conducts interviews. Otherwise the name of the restaurant he said was La Cuesta" Adrian said before he returned home.

"Well, after the bath I'll go see Lorna and ask her." I replied to her and immediately rushed to the room.

I went into my room to get some toiletries, because we only had one bathroom and it was in the kitchen.

After I took a shower, I immediately went to see Lorna to ask about the job she told Adrian about and what documents she needed to bring to apply for the job.

The scene moved elsewhere.

"Would you want to apply, there are already many people who apply there, there are many vacancies such as waitresses, kitchen maids, janitors and cashiers so hurry, or you will miss this opportunity." lorna said to me after we met.

I thanked him and immediately went home to prepare the necessary documents and changed clothes to get ready to apply for work.

A white polo shirt whose arms are too long up to the elbows but feel comfortable in my body, then paired with a black skirt cut with a pencil and simple shoes.

I faced the mirror and I smiled, I just let my hair unravel and I just put on a thin face, then I went back to the mirror and smiled. Even though my clothes were a bit worn out, it still could not hide my beauty that I inherited from my mother.

We have Italian ancestry from our mother, but my parents were rejected by our grandparents because my mother married my poor father. My full name is Rina Maria Antonio Alysia. Antonio is my mother's last name.

After I felt enough with my makeup, I immediately said goodbye to my sister and immediately went to apply for work.

During my travels I kept praying that I would be accepted even as a janitor, I desperately needed another job now because tomorrow was the last day of my contract with the fast food place where I work now.

It didn't take me long to reach LaCesta's restaurant, I was amazed by its beauty and the cars parked in front of it, the vehicles in front of it.

I saw a guard standing in front of the entrance when I was about to enter the restaurant.

"Sorry sir, where can I register?" I asked the guard.

"Please join the march with them." replied the guard as he pointed to the row of applicants inside the room.

I was really surprised because so many people were waiting in line to apply for work.

"Am I still acceptable here? I see a lot of people applying for jobs here, of course this will make the competition even tighter." I asked myself while immediately joining their ranks.

"Whatever happens I will keep trying, after all I've got here, it doesn't hurt if I try."
