Nadir towel dried herself before pulling on her clothes and exiting the bathroom.
"Back to being homeless" She pulled a strand of her combed out hair and began to twist it.
"Back to sitting down in my living room" Earn bit into two chocolate cookies at the same time.
"What do I want?"
"To stop relying on other people"
"Thank you"
"I heard subway hiring" He smirked at her.
"I'm not going to work with you" Nadir shook her head. "Bye for now"
"Want me to drive you?"
"You want to drive me to a dumpster?" Nadir questioned.
"So how are ya?"
"Are you really asking a homeless person that?"
"You're homeless by choice. And are you assuming homeless people's happiness based on-"
"No. So shhh. I need to do this for myself"
"You're stubborn, Oscar" Earnest said, grabbing hold of her hand.
"Because I need to get back to my trash heap" Nadir looked down at the tattoos on his arm.
"No, you want to. It ain't necessary. Your point has been made"
"I want to get a tattoo, but not now. When I get money" She stated.
"That's the spirit. I can put in a good word for you at work"
"No thank you"
"What kind of tattoo do you want? The basic flower tattoo that every girl gets that's supposed to have meaning?"
"I want a tattoo that says 'bum' in cursive on my right wrist"
Earnest blinked. "O. . .kay"
"I identify as a bum, so be it"
"You're weird. As fuck"
Nadir leaned down so that they were nose to nose. "Thanks"
"You better stop before somebody snatch you up"
"Nobody's gonna-"
He pulled her waist down, and flipped them over before connecting their lips.
Nadir grabbed his face and pushed his cheeks back. "I guess so"
He pulled her hands away and leaned down to kiss her on the cheek.
Earnest backed off, and pointed to the dresser. "I wrote my address on a piece of paper for employers"
"Thanks"
"You know you coming back here tonight? It's getting cold outside. Just pay me rent or whatever back when you get the money"
"Okay" Nadir lied, and then laughed at herself.
She still wasn't a good liar.
"I can't stand you" Earnest shook his head.
Nadir got up and grabbed the paper. "But you won't leave me be"
She exited his house, and started to walk down the street.
