Getting to Know You

A MONTH HAS passed since I met Daniel and Connor and things are good. I stayed the weekend with them after the party and Daniel brought me out to meet his parents. Rick is tough but he’s fair. Bev is so warm and loving; they remind me of my parents. Rick offered me a job but let me know that in no uncertain terms would he tolerate anyone who wasn’t serious about learning the business. It’s ball busting work but I love it. It doesn’t leave me much time to think, either. At work I’m focused, and when I get home, I’m so exhausted that the only place I think of Katherine is in my dreams. I traded my Porsche in for a truck and moved in with Bev and Rick. I love it here. Bev tells me stories of all the kids growing up and how it was for her and Rick when they were young.

Bev’s the kind of person who can draw out your all your inner secrets. She doesn’t judge, she just listens. I told her about Katherine and my dad. I explained to her why it’s so important to me to figure out who I am without her before I can talk to her again. She seemed to understand all too well the pain that comes with heartache. It was nice to vent my anger and frustrations to someone and she promised she wouldn’t tell anyone what I’ve been dealing with.

Daniel’s been coming up each weekend to visit his parents but I have a feeling he’s also making sure things are working out with me here. After all, he did essentially drop a stranger into his parents’ lap. When he comes up we go to the site and he gives me some additional training. It’s been really helpful and they already trust me with more work than the guys that started the same time I did. Daniel’s a talker. I haven’t been around a lot of guys that talk as much as he does. He’s the type of guy that really wants to get to know people. Katherine would have really liked him; he has a lot of her characteristics. They both really have a way connecting with the people around them, but never in a pushy way. He obviously cares about people since he basically just saved a virtual stranger from self-destruction.

Tonight they’re having a party at the house and invited me to come down. I’m still a little hesitant to be there since they go to UCLA. But I can’t let my life revolve around my proximity to Katherine and Jessica. I’m living my life for me now.

My job is to pick up the kegs on the way, which is much easier to do with my new truck. I also grabbed a couple of bottles of Absolute. I figure maybe I should stay away from the tequila tonight. I make sure to arrive early since I have the beer. I carry the vodka in the house first and am literally attacked by a gorgeous girl.
