I finally finished up finals and got settled in at my new job.

I'd been working at the bar five nights a week since classes ended. With the amount of money I'd been saving, I felt confident I could potentially move back onto campus or even on my own for the full school year in the fall. I had grown accustomed to being in the house with Tim and Gage, though I am still out of my comfort zone. Most of the time whenever I got home though, Gage and Tim had both gone to bed since I get in after midnight.

I hadn't really seen much of them (haha) since I'd started working so much. Even days I was off they seemed busy working on this nudist campaign. As much as I'd enjoyed my shower with Gage no other opportunity had come up for it to happen again. Tim had yet to get my bathroom fixed or my bedroom door like he had been promising to do, but with the opposite schedules we'd been keeping it really was a non issue for the time being.

I had finally gotten the chance to get off a little early one night, which I was happy to take. I was beginning to wind things down at the bar, grabbing ice and whatever for Cal the bartender so he would be covered if it got busy, even though it had been a slow night. That was when my phone buzzed. It was Tim.

Hey Henry! Got finished up at my meeting tonight a bit early, are ya working? Could really use a drink right about now! - the message read.

Damn. I was so ready to go home. But at my heart I'm a people pleaser. I guess I could hang out for a minute, get him a drink, even though I am tired. Or I could offer to pick something up and bring it home.
