Laborer By Day Boyfriend By Night

Everybody thought it looked like he wore girls shirts to work. It was just that he had some old, out of style shirts and he wanted to save his cool shirts for better times. Work was sweaty and dusty and he couldn’t see a need to be cool among a bunch of guys he didn’t even know.

So he drove the fork lift up and down the rows. He picked up whatever the boss man said to pick up. He didn’t like it but a guys gotta eat.

Before work in the morning he went for pancakes, eggs and hash browns. At lunch he ate a sandwich. For dinner he sometimes went out with some friends for big, juicy burgers with everything on them.

Day after day he picked orders and drove them down the line to where they were prepared for delivery or pick up. Who got a new leather couch and love seat today? Who got a new dining room set?

He was smart, but there were no opportunities in this small town. There were no better jobs. He needed to make a drastic change if he wanted to secure his future and grow financially.

Already halfway through his twenties, he was primed to succeed. His girl had an eternity ring, now she should be getting a diamond engagement ring. He didn’t need to impress her exactly. He did, however, need to grab hold of a future for himself and take her along with him.

They met at the restaurant for dinner. She strolled up to him wearing a long skirt and brown boots with a white blouse. She carried a matching hobo bag. He had changed into a clean shirt. They had a sweet familiarity that they had nurtured over the years.

Sitting back in the cushioned booth, they ordered Margaritas and taco salad. It was their favorite ethnic food. Their diets were pretty much healthy.

She told him about a professor who stared at all the girls legs as he lectured. He told her how his boss got a box dropped on his foot in the afternoon. She earned top grades and planned her career. She never took her attention away from him however.

He, however, never at a loss for words, told about how his boss had a box dropped on his toe this afternoon. It was a funny tale due to his boss being less than favored in his eyes. She laughed as he related the look on the boss’s face. She could not help but wish he shared the academic world she was immersed in.
