Friends

The weeks have flown by and turned into a month. I started a garden. I have fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and apples to live off of, so I don’t have  to buy groceries as much.

Every day for the past month I have seen Stan Henley. He is my boss, but I fell in love with him the moment I laid eyes on him. I worry over everything, especially money, and he seems to always be there to talk to.

Stan and I usually eat dinner together after our late nights at work. I stay late most nights to help him clean things up around the restaurant so we can share a meal together. During these times we talk about our dreams and plans for the future.

I have made a lot of friends at work, but there is one that I haven’t mentioned. His name is Rez Berry and he is married. I met him and his wife at the Bistro. They don’t work with me, but they come in and eat a few times a week. I have made fast friends with him. He is a real party animal. He convinced me that a party would help me make more friends.

Rez and I throw a party together and we invite all of my friends from work, and a few of his friends. After a nice dinner of stu surprise we went outside and paired off to dance. I, of course, pick Stan and we danced until everyone else got tired and started leaving.

Finally after a month of working together, Stan confessed that he is interested in me, and he wanted us to become exclusive. I went to bed that night and dreamed about my future with Stan.

The next morning, I called Rez over to tell him of the past night’s events. “Hey Pink, this is Acacia. Can I speak to Rez please?” I always hated when Pink answered the phone. I didn’t want her to think there was anything going on between him and I.

Rez said he’d come over before he had to go to work. “Hey Acacia. Whats up?” he asked when I walked outside to greet him. I told him all about what went on after the party was over. “I’m happy for you, honey. I hope he is all you want him to be,” he told me. I was so excited about the possibilities, and I could only see the good things.

I had my mind made up. It was time for Stan and I to become official. It had been another month of flirting around and making out, and I was ready for something more. I invited him over one night after work. “I think it’s time that you moved in with me,” I just came out and told him. Much to my surprise he agreed, but under one condition. In order for him to move in, he had to be able to tell people I was his girlfriend. That was fine with me. I had one friend at work that disagreed with my decision. Susan kept telling me that Stan was trouble and that I was too absent-minded to see it, but I told her she was wrong.

I noticed things about Stan after he moved in, but I blew it off as nothing. It was just things like, talking to air and getting into arguments with himself. I thought he was just being silly.

I didn’t see the real problem until he started accusing me of stupid things. The toilet kept getting stopped up and he got furious with me over that. I think he was just having a bad day, though. Stan was perfect. He couldn’t be insane! Could he?
