I quickly downed my tea, hoping to gain some liquid courage. For what? I don’t know… Not act like a fool around him? When he finished his noodles, we sat off to the side to talk and be around fewer sims. His twin sister, Diamond, is my friend too. I don’t think Mommy likes her very much. They’re both living at home for now. She’s not working, but Devonte said he’s got a job with the Sulani conservation team. How fancy! He’s trying to save up to move out soon, so he has a part-time job in shipping and receiving. I wasn’t quite sure what that involves, but it’s cool that he’s so committed to his goal.
It was getting late, and he had to get to his other job soon, so he got up to leave…and I watched him go.
“WAIT,” someone with my voice yelled. Did I say that? Next thing I knew, my legs were working without my permission and ran over to him. I wrapped my arms around him. The tea finally kicked in, I suppose.
“What’s this for?” he asked.
I told him I didn’t really know. I’m glad he thought it was funny.
