And by compromising situations, I’m talking about every single moment with Nate’s hands on me that I’ll have to endure.
@girl_sees_the_world:
Yes.
@worth_traveling_to:
In that case, you're welcome.
@girl_sees_the_world:
I wasn’t thanking you.
@worth_traveling_to:
Maybe you should be.
@girl_sees_the_world:
If you knew what I had to suffer through the next few days, you’d want to apologize for your role in all of this.
@worth_traveling_to:
It can’t be that bad, can it?
@girl_sees_the_world:
Yes, it really can be that bad. But I’m a big girl and can handle it.
Just like I did in the elevator.
@girl_sees_the_world:
I just wanted to keep you updated on the situation because you said you were invested. What about you and your lie? Any new developments?
@worth_traveling_to:
The lie has progressed into something bigger, which is good and bad.
@girl_sees_the_world:
Hopefully, the good outweighs the bad.
@worth_traveling_to:
Tonight, it definitely did.
There’s justno way to make a Voyager Travel Events t-shirt look sexy. It is what it is. Boxy and oversized and the most horrific shade of bright yellow.
I sneak another glance at Isaac’s girlfriend, Lauren—easy to do while wearing tinted sunglasses. Her outfit is the epitome of tourist chic: halter neckline, dangerously deep V in the back, flowy pleated skirt, no bra for those looking, which is probably every man here. Her hair is slicked into a low ponytail, making her large sunglasses and dangly earrings stand out as the perfect statement accessories.
Whatever small amount of confidence I had looking in the mirror this morning shattered when I saw her step into the lobby. Lauren looks like a Thailand goddess next to my black biker shorts and Chacos sandals. When packing, I was going for comfort and humidity relief, not style. Don’t even get me started on my fanny pack. Not a cute cross-body shoulder bag. I’m talking about the literal 1985fanny pack.
It’s fine.
I’ll just keep my head down and work, which is what I’ve been doing all morning.
Today, I love my job.
