It's All Futile! It's All Pointless! by LoveJoy

07/18/20

A few weeks have passed since the funeral. I am currently nursing a hangover in a random person's bed. Needless to say you can guess where my mental state is at the moment.

"Ah, you're awake. I mean no rush, but i have to leave in like, five minutes. I'm gonna pay for your uber and send you home. I promise I'm not this much of a dickhead, I'm just in a rush." He spoke quickly, ruffling his shirt as he looked over himself in the mirror. I nodded and stepped out of the bed.

The room looked nice and luckily I was wearing a long shirt to cover some of my exposed body. I found my jeans across the room and walked towards them. I slipped them on before he started rushing me again.

He sounded genuinely rushed and i wasn't ever gonna see him again, so i just let him rush me. That being said, all i got were my pants before he asked for my address to send me home. I just followed as he walked as i literally didn't know who he was or where I even was.

"187 Willow Drive, Portslade." I said quickly, slipping on my flats from the previous night. Most of it was a blur but a few things stood out very prominently. We wont talk about those though.

"That's literally not a house, love." He said before sighing. "It's fine, give me your number and text me whenever you arrive home safely please."

"You want me to just casually give a random one night stand my number?" I asked, dumbfounded by this man.

"I'm not a dick, I would drive you home if I could but I really cannot. Therefore, number please." He spoke, jumping around to slip on his shoes.

"Fine." I said, giving him my number. We walked out of the house and he sent me a screenshot of what time the uber should arrive. As the uber pulled up, I stepped inside.

"For Davis?" She asked, looking back at me. I nodded with a small smile. He remembers more than i expected from last night.

"Yeah, Davis." I said with a small smile. I felt guilty for not having a mask, though she hadn't seemed to mind. She hadn't been wearing one either.

"So, that curly lad your boyfriend?" She spoke through the silence, trying to make conversation. I laughed softly, staring out the window.

"No, just a one night stand i think." I pondered, thinking where I remembered him from. He looked familiar, I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"He seems to care for just a one night stand." The lady pointed out.

"Yeah," I laughed, "I realized that too. He said he wasn't an asshole, just in a rush."

"That's fair, time crunches happen." She said, ending that conversation topic. I sat quietly in the back seat until we spoke again. The conversation was minimal, but I made sure to text him to leave a great review for her when he got the chance.

I spent the rest of my day cleaning the house from top to bottom. Steph was at work, so there was why I was cleaning it top to bottom myself. Steph has hard days at work, so I pick up where I can and when I can.

I heard my phone ping, lowering the music playing throughout the room from the bluetooth speaker. I finished the dishes before walking over to where the phone idly sat.

I closed my phone and sighed, knowing I had to work soon and not wanting to go. The job is rather draining, but money is money.

I wasn't normally scheduled overnight shifts, but they pay better so when it was offered i took it. I laid in bed, staring at the ceiling until i knew I had to get up to leave.

God i fucking hate this job.

Half of me wants to quit, but the pay is alright.
