*Sammie’s POV (Early Afternoon)
My life is going well right now. I still have my Applebee’s and Hollister jobs so I’m making enough money to keep my apartment and make a good living for myself. Ever since Louis and I exchanged numbers, we’ve been texting every single day. Even if it’s about nothing, we just keep the conversation going.
It’s great to have a friend like this when my besties are away. It serves as kind of a distraction from my life situation. We’ve even hung out when he’s done with a show and I’m off work. He is so funny and goofy, he’s basically a little kid in a 23 year olds body. I don’t mind though since I’m still technically a kid and definitely still act like one.
After every performance, Louis and the rest of his cast come to eat at Applebee’s. I guess it’s their place they always go to. They also have a usual table and it just happens to be in my section. Everyone knows my name and I’m good buddies with them. The only one of them who doesn’t really talk to me except for ordering is the “creep” who tried to pick me up the night I came here with the girls. But who can blame him? He probably thought Louis would bite his head off if he said another word to me. Poor guy.
Everyone gives me a $5 tip every time they eat there. There’s like 20 of them so just that one table alone gets me at least $100! Plus Louis slips me a few extra bucks on his way out the door since he knows my situation. He is such a sweetie. I wonder if it’ll be the same story tomorrow night.
Usually what happens when they come is that they come in being really loud and rowdy at exactly 10:00, sit down at their usual table, and they all shout my name. I take their orders, and everyone makes some comment about me being physically attractive in one way or the other. Then I slowly take their plates away and give them all their separate checks. When they leave, I see that where their plates used to be, there’s a 5 dollar bill at each place setting. Then Louis leaves last and slips me the extra money. This routine usually happens every weekend. I don’t mind though. It’s something I’ve just grown accustomed to. And I love getting to see Louis so often.
It’s Sunday so I don’t have to work tonight. But Louis and I will probably hang out after his show. That’s what we usually do on Sunday nights. I’ve hung out with him practically every day this summer since the girls left. It’s great to have someone to spend time with so my mind is off of…well…my life. My phone starts ringing. It’s Louis, of course.
“Hey, Lou. What’s up?” “Hey Sam, do you wanna catch a late movie tonight?” he asks. “Don’t we always?” I retort. He laughs and says “When you’re right, you’re right. I’ll pick you up at 10, ‘kay?” “’Kay. See you then.” We hang up and I watch TV for the rest of the day until I decide to get ready to go. At 10:00 on the dot, there’s a knock on my door. “Hey there, Lou! I’m ready when you are.” “Awesome, let’s hit it!” he says.
After the Movies…
So we go to the movies and have an awesome time like usual. He drives me back to my apartment and walks me to my door. “Thanks for another great night, Sam. I always have fun with you.” “I always have fun with you too, Lou. Ha that rhymes!” Louis chuckles before hugging me.
For whatever reason, tonight I just don’t want to let go of him. Our hug lasts for longer than normal. But Louis just rests his chin on my shoulder and hugs me tight. I finally let go and he asks “What’s with the long hug? Not that I didn’t enjoy it, but just why?” “It’s just my way of saying thank you for being my friend.” I say. “Thank you for being mine. I’ll always be here for you, Sam. Remember that. I gotta get home. I’ll see you soon.”
We say goodbye and he leaves. I’ve said this many times and I’ll continue saying it: Louis is the best guy friend I could ask for! I feel so fortunate that we met. My boss Bri thinks that he likes me, but I disagree. Especially since we have such an age difference between us. 6 years to be exact.
It’s like he’s my big brother and I’m his little sister. I think it would be kind of weird if we tried to date. It would probably be too awkward. In any case, I don’t have feelings for him and he has none for me so I have nothing to think about. I’m just gonna go to bed and rest up for a full day of work tomorrow.
