Bodie

For fucks sake Bodie! Why would you say that to her? And could you have gotten away from her any faster?

Marjorie, for her part, was at least kind enough not to say anything. She was embarrassed if the redness on her face was any indication. I mean, it’s not like what I said was a lie. She is adorable. Downright gorgeous, but what would a girl like her ever see in a loser like me? Sure, we were both at a treatment facility so she obviously had her own issues, but I’d be willing to wager she had guys just blowing up her phone or facebook or Insta or whatever way they could get close to her. All I could offer her was a less than desirable body and corny jokes. I guess it doesn’t really matter. I didn’t come here to meet the love of my life anyway. Still, it might be nice to feel like I at least stood a chance, but with the likes of Zachery and his model good looks and affable charm, I didn’t stand a chance. Hell, even Malcolm with his surly demeanor and one and a half legs has a better shot at a girl like Marjorie than dumpy old me. Then, there’s Avery who steals as much time with Marjorie as possible.

Better not to dwell on that, Bodie. You'll only end up breaking your own heart and quite possibly your sobriety.

I’ve worked too hard to fuck this up, even for a girl like Marjorie. Her beautiful green eyes flash in my mind and I know I’m screwed. Maybe, just maybe. I mean, she didn’t shut me down, right? Of course, I didn’t exactly wait around for the letdown either.

I walk the rest of the way to my kitchen shift feeling lighter, letting that one iota of a shot bolster me to almost believing. For now, that’ll do, Donkey, that’ll do.
