Chapter 110

Halfway through the movie, which we watched from the back row, Beebub leaned over and whispered in my ear. “Are you having a good time?”

I simply nodded and went back to ogling Keanu Reeves as he kicked ass.

After the movie, Beebub drove us toward home. “Want to have a late snack at the diner?” he asked.

I yawned. “I’m really tired, man. I have to be at the store in about five hours to get ready for the day. Thanks, though.”

“Why do you work so hard?” he asked as we continued on to my house. “It’s like that’s all you ever do. Even with my busy schedule, I still make the time to have fun, go out.”

“I guess I fell into it. Things were rough for a long time, trying to make ends meet, taking care of my dad, working long hours. It’s not as bad as it used to be, yes, but I can’t let up. Anything could happen and I don’t have anyone else to look out for me, even though Marlene tries her best.”
