Never With You

And by compromising situations, I’m talking about every single moment with Nate’s hands on me that I’ll have to endure.

@girl_sees_the_world:

Yes.

@worth_traveling_to:

In that case, you're welcome.

@girl_sees_the_world:

I wasn’t thanking you.

@worth_traveling_to:

Maybe you should be.

@girl_sees_the_world:

If you knew what I had to suffer through the next few days, you’d want to apologize for your role in all of this.

@worth_traveling_to:

It can’t be that bad, can it?

@girl_sees_the_world:

Yes, it really can be that bad. But I’m a big girl and can handle it.

Just like I did in the elevator.

@girl_sees_the_world:

I just wanted to keep you updated on the situation because you said you were invested. What about you and your lie? Any new developments?

@worth_traveling_to:

The lie has progressed into something bigger, which is good and bad.

@girl_sees_the_world:

Hopefully, the good outweighs the bad.

@worth_traveling_to:

Tonight, it definitely did.

There’s justno way to make a Voyager Travel Events t-shirt look sexy. It is what it is. Boxy and oversized and the most horrific shade of bright yellow.

I sneak another glance at Isaac’s girlfriend, Lauren—easy to do while wearing tinted sunglasses. Her outfit is the epitome of tourist chic: halter neckline, dangerously deep V in the back, flowy pleated skirt, no bra for those looking, which is probably every man here. Her hair is slicked into a low ponytail, making her large sunglasses and dangly earrings stand out as the perfect statement accessories.

Whatever small amount of confidence I had looking in the mirror this morning shattered when I saw her step into the lobby. Lauren looks like a Thailand goddess next to my black biker shorts and Chacos sandals. When packing, I was going for comfort and humidity relief, not style. Don’t even get me started on my fanny pack. Not a cute cross-body shoulder bag. I’m talking about the literal 1985fanny pack.

It’s fine.

I’ll just keep my head down and work, which is what I’ve been doing all morning.

Today, I love my job.
