NATE
I t’s been a long day, and I’m wiped as I take the elevator up to my
apartment. Reckon it’s time I moved out of here and found a place with a bit
of land. Don’t get me wrong, the apartment is convenient. Most of my work
is in the city or the vicinity. But still, I could handle a commute for the sake
of a yard and get a dog, maybe.
Fuck! Listen to me. Next, I’ll be thinking about marriage and kids. Nah,
that’s where I draw the line. A dog would be plenty enthusiastic to come
home to, right?
It’s all just a pleasant daydream. I don’t have the time to walk a dog or
give it the attention it deserves, but sometimes I like to pretend I could make
it work, like take it to clients with me or some shit.
God, I feel old. Look at me, wanting to come home to a fucking dog. I
used to want to come home and fuck my wife, now she’s my ex and fucking
some hot-shot lawyer while I’m getting excited about imaginary dogs.
After I caught the bitch blowing him in our bed, she took everything…
because he’s a fucking lawyer who has the right friends. So here I am starting
over again, a little older, a little more jaded, and counting my blessings
because I sure as fuck dodged a bullet there. It’s Wednesday night, and I’m
heading home with a six-pack and pizza—not the healthiest choice—but no
worse than going to the bar and grabbing a beer and a burger, which is what I
planned before I decided I was too fucking tired.
That’s what happens when you’re a single guy working long hours every
day. I like what I do, a small bespoke carpentry business, and trust me, there
are a lot of wealthy patrons in Denver only too happy to pay for skills. Plenty
of variety and job satisfaction when you see the work completed.
I’m never
going to be a millionaire, but I have plans to expand the way my brother
Kaleb has. At least the bitch didn’t get her hooks into my business. I paid her
asswipe lawyer a visit at his fancy office and explained how no law on earth
would protect them if they tried to get their greedy hooks into that. I gave her
the house, all the shit in it, and the car without a quibble, which was more
than her cheating ass deserved.
The elevator opens on my floor, dragging me from a well-scripted fantasy
where I put a beating on the bastard after finding him in our bed. I fumble for
my keys and catch my thumbnail—I hit it with a hammer two days ago, and
there’s a high probability it’s going to drop off.
