Greet your Cousin

"Cuz it's good to see you!" you say with your city accent, a hand reaching out for a small and quick hug which your cousin awkwardly turns into a handshake. Evident of the years you haven't talked - in fact you haven't talked since your mother passed five years ago. That's how you got his current information, and how you were able to contact him.

"How was the ride David?"

"Hell, my legs are tired and my ass is stiff. " your cousin gives a short laugh before helping your luggage into the car.

"Well take it for a little bit longer, at least until we get to my place. "

"I have to thank you again cuz, taking me in like this. You didn't have to."

"Course I did, we're family." Family. Right. That's what family does. Help each other. When you told your cousin about your predicament ( not about the debt you're in of course ) he did offer you the chance to stay in Arcadia Bay, a small town off the map in Oregan, to stay with him in his guest room. At least until you can afford something on your own. You almost couldnt' believe how lucky you were to have such a great cousin! When you get in the car and start the drive back your oll the windows down to get more of that sea breeze.

"So David any idea what you're going to do for a job?" your cousin asks, you shrug.

"No idea. Is there anything open in this town?"

"Well the diner could maybe use more help - but a waiter doesn't pay well that's for sure. Can't live off of that. "

"Not in this economy, besides I'm a shit waiter. Did I ever tell you I lost that job a few years ago 'cuz I was fuckin -" you're stopped by your cousin's look of dissaproval before releasing a sigh. You've had a reputation in your family for being a general sex addict that's for sure. In fact most of your jobs have been lost because of your sexcapades. A fact you for sure are proud of but you can tell your cousin isn't. He sighs.

"You're going to need a job you know. I'm not having you live at my place for free."

"I know, I know." damn you wish he'd get off your fucking back. You just go there - but if there's one thing you remember from the family get togethers. Wells were always stuck ups. The ride becomes silent, awkward tension on the rise. You'd relax with some of the various pictures you've collected on your phone for these kind of situations but with your cousins attittude you'd bet he would kick your ass out.
