Virginia woke up early the next morning. She had to get dressed and get back on the road but first she had to get her some coffee and something to eat. The sooner she got out of this hotel room the better. She got up and went to take a shower. She didn't sleep all that great because the bed was lumpy but she slept. She got done with her shower and dressed. She then got her things together and turned the key in as she left.
She got into her car and drove away. She drove until she spotted a small town diner and pulled in. She got out and went inside and found a small table in the back. A lovely young waitress walked out of the back and over to her table. " My name is Rebecca and I will be your waitress. Welcome to the Country Cow." she said as she handed her a menu and silverware. " Thanks and can I have a cup of coffee?" she asked her as she opened the menu to see what she wanted. " Sure and how would you like your coffee?" she asked her as she opened her pad. " Three sugars and two things of creamer." she told her. Rebecca than closed the pad and walked away.
She studied the menu and after a few minutes she decided what she wanted. " Are you ready to order yet?" her waitress asked as she handed her her coffee and took out her pad. " Yes I would like the number three but leave off the grits." she told her. Rebecca than wrote her order down and stuck the pad back into her pocket. " I will have that right out." she said as she picked up the menu and walked away. Virginia spotted an abandoned newspaper and picked it up. She went to the classified section to look for jobs and a place to live she just wanted to get an idea of what was out there if she did stay here.
She picked up her coffee cup and out of the corner of her eye she spotted a very nice looking man walk in. Everyone must have knew him because they he greeted him by name and he did the same. She went back to reading the paper and paid no mind to how handsome he was because she did not need to get involved with anyone right now. Rebecca came back out with her food and she put the paper beside her. " Are there any good jobs and places to live around here?" she asked her. " Yes there are in fact the gentleman over there is looking for a secretary." she said to her pointing at the gentleman she was looking at earlier. " I see well not sure if that would work out, but give him my name and number anyway." she said as she wrote down her name and number on a napkin and handed it to her.
She then took a sip of her coffee and a bite of her food. She did not know why she gave Rebecca her info to give to him but she did and now she was regretting it. She was not sure if this was where she wanted to stay or not. She knew she had to decide something because she was running low on cash and she didn't have a bank account of credit cards anymore so she had to decide soon before she had to stay on the streets.
She finished her meal, paid the bill and left. She went to her car and set there for a minute to count how much cash she had left. She had a little over a thousand left and she knew that would not last her another month. She started her car and took off. She had no idea where she was going to go. She didn't think he would call her but deep down inside she was hoping he would because she so desperately needed a job and needed one quick.
