RIX
It smells like Cheetos, beer, possibly ball sweat, and a hint of men’s
deodorant in here. My stomach gurgles ominously as I lie on the futon in
the loft of my older brother’s condo. If I can’t sleep, I might as well call my
best friend and fill her in.
“I have fifteen minutes between clients. What the heck is going on?”
Essie asks when she answers.
It’s noisy from the big event she’s working. Her makeup brushes click
and clink as they’re cleaned and slotted away while she waits for the next
person to fill her chair.
“I imploded my life,” I tell her, succinct and accurate.
“This sounds bad. What happened?”
“I rage-quit my job and moved out of my apartment.”
It sounds even worse when I say it aloud. I’m so disappointed in myself.
Asking my brother if I could stay at his place feels like the ultimate failure
—he’s a professional hockey player, and I’m now unemployed and unhomed. I’m lucky I even caught him between ice time and going out.
“Did your roommates invite you to join their sex party again?” she asks.
“They did.”
“Why the hell can’t they take no for an answer? That’s harassment!”
I smile. I appreciate her indignation on my behalf. “Look, I respect
anyone doing whatever gets their rocks off, but listen when I say no thank
you. And then my boss dropped four boxes of receipts on my desk at the
end of the day and said they needed to be sorted by nine tomorrow, so I lost
my shit and quit.”
And when I got home, Eugenia was tied to a pillar in the living room.
Naked. That was the last straw and the reason I’ve ended up here. On this
futon.
“Seriously?” I can practically see Essie shaking her head. “That’s the
fourth time that’s happened! You lasted two and a half months longer than I
would have.”
“I really wanted it to work out, you know? It was my first real job at a
firm. I had benefits and a steady paycheck, and now I have nothing.” How
could I be so stupid and reactive?
“You are highly employable, Rix. You graduated at the top of your
class. Come to Vancouver. Where are you staying now? Please don’t say a
Motel Heaven.”
“Almost as bad, I’m at my brother’s.” I love Flip. He’s a great brother,
and he’s helped me out financially in the past, but this clearly indicates that
I’ve failed at taking care of myself. I hate that I’ve messed up my life so
completely after being so careful.
“Oh my God. Rix.”
“It gets worse.” Because not only did I lose my job and my apartment,
so I get to sleep on a futon in his loft with no doors or privacy, but I also did
the unthinkable.
“Worse how?” Essie asks.
“I went to the Pink Taco. And I always overdo it.” Especially when I’m
mid-tragedy. I love those freaking tacos.
“Tell me you didn’t have the refried beans.”
“I had the refried beans. And several margaritas.” So stupid. And
expensive.
