the perks of being a lawyer

desperate need of a check

    Charles paces up and down the beach, unsure what to do.  He has a low key office romance with a new worker named Cody, that is actually quite high key. He climbs into his 1992 Buick and starts to drive, heading toward Arby's. As he grabs his delicious meat sandwiches, he hears Toxic start to play loudly. He quickly realizes it's his phone. It's an unknown number.
    "Hey this is Cody's mom. I found your number in his phone and just wanted to let you know he is dead."
    Charles let out a sigh of relief. "Yeet," he says to her in a monotone voice, then hangs up and does an intense u-turn. Moments later he tried to get into Alexander's hotel room, but it's too late. He starts to cry.
    Meanwhile Alexander in crying too, tears falling on the the bench seat of his dodge pickup truck. He reached for his Diet Pepsi and accidentally swerved off the road, running into a billboard. His truck was totaled, and he was bleeding profusely.
    He opened the door to look up at the billboard. "In a wreck and need a check? Call Charles Pittman," he quietly read aloud. He could barely make out the number through his tears.
    Charles answered the third and a half ring?
"I'm sorry, I'm busy right now," Charles responded. Alex could hear sadness in his voice. "A beautiful man told me he loves me and I ran away. I didn't even say it back."
"I love you anyway," Alexander said, his tears of sadness turning into ones of joy.
"Is it really you?"
"Yes by I just had a wreck and am in desperate need of a check," he said sexually.
   15 minutes later they were in a hotel room, making love. "Will you marry me?" Charles whispers as he finishes up.
"Of course," Alex grunts back.
    They got married 3 days later. The end.
