By skyforbes There was this lady and she'd come in often. Sometimes with her partner or her friends and even on her own sometimes. She used to give the biggest tips. She'd always ask to be served by me if I was working. She'd get me sit down and chat. She'd ask mostly about me. Where I grew up etc.
One day, she rang me. Apparently she my boss gave her my number and they gave it. She said she'd like to offer me a job. I was curious so we went to a cafe [coffee shop] and she said she'd like me to be her house's houseboy. She explained it to me. It was like chores and almost like an emotional support human for her. Her partner would be gone a lot.
I spent about 5 years in the role. She was mid 40s at the time and by the end of it we had such a close bond, despite me sort of breaking up her relationship (but his own fault). She was always really generous. I don't regret it. I enjoyed it and it's set me up for a much better life. I don't really tell people about it, though.
Im 29 now. AMA!
