My boy ruby

9 to 5

Finally,i was home, well Harveys apartment no its our apartment now i live with him. When i walked in he was on the couch watching breaking bad and messing with beats on his laptop. He hardly noticed I'd walked in and only turned around when i said 'hello' clearly trying to get his attention.

"Hey Ems, you sleep well at rubys" he said not even look up from his laptop .

"Yeah thanks" i said walking to the sofa to sit besides him.

"So whats the deal with the guys all living together, are they in some sort of polygamous marriage with each other?" I asked Harvey smiling at the comment i made at the end.

Harvey looked puzzled but stilll staring at the computer screen "what, no Germ, Ruby and scrim all livi'n there for now just renti'n till they finish some EPs 'nd shit, but Eric and pouya live here. They probably just stayed the night so they didn't have to drive"

"So how long's ruby gonna be here... and obviously Scott and germ" i tried so hard to sound as if I didn't what ruby to do some UNHOLY things to me and played it off as if a wondering friend.

" don't know like few months. Why do you care"

" well i was just wondering cos there cool and want to maybe spend time hangin' out With them"please god don't let him catch on.

Later that day I decided to look for jobs, there were only a few; waitress in a diner, some gun shop and a liquor store. I sent a resume to both the diner and the liquor store. I wanted the diner job but also i needed a backup because rent is a thing and i was broke.

Some of the things i need in life is fresh nails every 4 weeks alongside a full body wax.  Looking for salons was surprisingly easy and i was booked in for acrylics and wax  2 weeks from now hoping I would have a job to pay for this. As well as this i needed a dispensary, just the basics weed and shrooms, i could text one of the boys aka ruby to give me an excuse to talk to him i didn't have his number and I wasn't  'bout to look desperate and dm him on insta. After 10 minutes of looking i found a good well priced dealer. I plans to pay of him on Monday since it was only 5 days which gave me time to settle in a bit more and provide me needing to meet new people just yet.

2 weeks later i had my self-care day. I felt l i deserved it since it was my first day off all week after  getting the job at the diner. It was nice there, the customers were mostly sweet old people or truckers who needed a fear post pit-stop. I have to say the pink dress with my eyeliner and dark purple hair was quite the contrast, especially in Florida where 98% of people looked 'normal' with their preppy cloths and bleached hair. At work all the safe were really nice and i even made a friend, Ava. She was about the same height as me, had short brown hair and she was so naturally beautiful, she hardly wore makeup but it's not like she needs it.

Friday. 3 days since my day off, i had work 9-5 it wasn't to bad because it always seams to go fast i guess  the joking around with the Chris and Ava ok the weight off the long day. Mary one of the usuals came in and chatted away, until i was told to move my ass, as usual. Every time she comes in she asks me if i have a a man followed by her trying to set up me and her grandson to which i always turn down. I don't know why i do this because it's nog like i have a boyfriend, i have a ruby which is x10 worse  because I can't say i have a man because he isn't mine but I'm his.

That night, after work i walked home. It was a easy 20 minute walk just down the street. I passed a 7/11 on the way and often went in on Fridays because i got high religiously on Fridays or Saturdays since i was 15. I grabbed a monster, Cheetos and some gummy's. If you ask me this is being to sound like the perfect night.

When i got home, i through my stuff on the kitchen side and watched Harvey manically run around the house looking for stuff.

"You're not gonna help me" he shouted,i didn't take offence because i knew he was just stressing.

"Sor-ry" i said with the sassiest voice possible

"Watcha lookin' for hun"

"My fucking watch" he still sounded stressed but not shouting it at me this time.

I look up at the top of the fridge, for some reason i saw it there last night. I climbed up onto the kitchen work-top and got it.

As i handed it to Harvey I asked " where you going all dressed up anyway"

"I've got a date with some girl i meet at the party the week.... We've been talkin' and stuff so i asked her out. I hope shell let me hit after"

"Harvey you can't say that about a girl to a girl that's like disrespect to a new leave dude" only slipping in the dude to make it seem as if i have chill.

10 minutes later, whilst i was sat on the kitchen island scrolling through tik tok, Harvey hugged me bye and i wished him Luck. It wasn't long till i was fresh out the shower in my fresh pj top, an oversize black slip knot top, and my black booty shorts which were just massive panties like boxers but for girls. I had laid out my pink hello kitty bong, a pack of raw papers and a few grams of weed, on a rolling tray which was just pink and purple marble. It was all neatly set up on the coffee table in front of the tv. On the coach there was 2 blankets and my snacks.

'Buzz, buzz'

I opened the door to my post-mates delivery guy. Well I thought .
