@digitizedsouls / for jeremy

"Hey."

Maddy was playing, which currently meant 'turning in circles as fast as she can faster and faster until she falls over'. The playground was pretty empty actually, which was why Alex crouched down now to get a look at the little boy in the legs of equipment, peeking out through the climbing frame that was gonna be great for Maddy's gross motor once she got adventurous enough to try climbing it on her own. Any day now, Alex thought. She was getting bigger and bigger every time Alex blinked.

The little boy seemed shy. Alex's hands were on her knees, sleeves of her coat pulled up halfway over her palms. She half-waved, with a flash of a smile, "I'm Alex. This is Maddy. What's your name?" The playground was really quiet, actually. And it was gonna rain soon. "Do your grown-ups live near here?"

[russellcleaning]

“I’m just trying to figure out why you’re here.”

"I'm... cleaning your apartment." Not a question, actually. A statement of fact. She'd stopped her music (in her earbuds) for this conversation.

This man had let her into his place, Alex had already introduced herself, it seemed pretty obvious she was not here to steal his snacks. Alex held the garbage bag up with one gloved hand: her supplies. Moving for college turned out to be very expensive and with a solid $13.72 left for food for the week she had, forgive her, not prioritised having a neat little carry case for her fancy liquid soaps with which to clean various surfaces.

But he said it like that, like Alex was not doing her job, and she had worked too many jobs to not... "This is what you're paying me for, dishes in the dishwasher, carpets, windows. Bathroom." She'd brought a toilet brush. Alex did not pull it out, now. Maybe a secret weapon. "What did you think I was here for?"

russellcleaning​:

It wasn’t all rich people, actually. Take this job: ironing. It took Alex maybe twenty minutes total to iron an entire basket of crisp button-down work shirts and her neighbour from down the hall paid in cash, $20, every single time. Made small talk. It was the sort of money she could make while Maddy was in the middle of her bedtime routine, between the nuggets and Maddy pretending she didn’t like broccoli (actually her favourite, this week, because “they’re like trees!”), and it meant they could usually afford to catch the bus when they didn’t feel like walking. Sometimes Alex almost felt like she was getting on top of rent.

Not, like, this isn’t something to worry about, but like, I think I can afford this coffee rather than counting the money.

It didn’t seem to matter how many shirts actually made it into the basket. One basket, $20. Sometimes they tossed in other things. Once she’d found underwear, but that had probably been a mistake.

Alex knocked on their door now, basket of freshly-ironed shirts on her hip as she stepped back to check on Maddy through their open front door – watching Little Einsteins. Definitely not eating the broccoli.

The door opened.

“Hey,” she turned back, “I have your, um, ironing?”

Nikolai had the thought, several times, after he had already set out his prepared ingredients for kotlety and peeled the potatoes, that he really shouldn’t have committed to mashing potatoes. His left shoulder had been… unpleasant, most of the day and going through the motions of cooking had only seemed to further aggravate it.

Stew hadn’t occurred to him until after he had already added the milk-soaked bread into the meat, and by that point, he was too tired to want to put all of his dinner prep so far into the refrigerator just to start fresh. And stew took hours, anyway.

By the time he had the potatoes going on the stove, he had forgotten entirely about his neighbor and the ironing.

The knock on his door gave him pause—a moment to remember that it was not unexpected, and then another to turn down the music playing from his phone. The potatoes were left to a lower heat while he stepped away.

He offered a small (but no less genuine) smile in greeting. “Thank you.” His right hand dipped into his back pocket to fish out a twenty.

His gaze flicked down the hall, to the faint jingle of a children’s television show. “How is the little one?”

[russellcleaning]

"She's good, she's really... really good, actually." In a better life it would not have inspired anxiety to be asked, like a test she might fail. Alex threw a look over her shoulder again to check on her daughter through the cracked front door, currently playing with her nuggets and making rocketship noises in theme with her show. They were happy here. Safe.

Alex took the twenty bucks. This made $157.35 after rent for the week's food, laundry, bills, textbooks, buses, internet, daycare. (The addition was automatic. They were running pretty tight, at the moment.) She passed the basket to him, fair for fair.

Their neighbour was a good guy, she thought. It was sort of nice to share a building with people who were.

"She actually, um - she's been on a broccoli kick, 'cause she thinks they look like trees. It's pretty awesome for me. She wants to eat my vegetables. So..." So nothing. It was only a mode of trailing off. That was it. She lifted the cash, "Thank you, for this," and stepped back toward Maddy in their studio apartment. They'd only been living there a few months. It was one of the first really steady places they'd been for ages. Maddy had started saying "Hi, Nik'lai!" when she saw him, with excitement Alex was not used to seeing in Maddy anymore.

"Hey, are you interested in watching Maddy sometime?" out of her mouth by force of will. Alex redoubled forward, before Nikolai quite closed his apartment door. "Not for free, I mean, I could pay," not much, "I've just got this exam, and they won't let me bring Maddy and it's on a weekend so daycare won't be open." The worst he could say was no. "You'd really be helping us out."

❜ ❛ is being drunk an excuse? ❜ ❛ promise me you won’t overreact. ❜ ❛ how can i possibly trust you? after all you’ve done. ❜ ❛ how long have you been standing there? ❜ ❛ why did you wake me? ❜ ❛ i’m not here to talk about my feelings. ❜ ❛ you were going to leave without saying goodbye? ❜ ❛ for some reason, i’m attracted to you. ❜ ❛ promise me? ❜ ❛ it’s nothing, i’m just tired. ❜ ❛ i feel safe with you. ❜ ❛ i don’t need your help. ❜ ❛ i think i have a bit more experience with this thing than you do. ❜ ❛ no way, i’m not doing that. ❜ ❛ i do care. ❜ ❛ you snore in your sleep. it’s adorable. ❜ ❛ i have a spare bed. ❜ ❛ you’re very kind. some day it’ll get you killed. ❜ ❛ you’ll always have a home with me. ❜ ❛ of course i care. you’re my family. ❜ ❛ you shouldn’t insult people that are bigger than you. ❜ ❛ i never wanted to hurt you. ❜ ❛ i swear it wasn’t me. ❜ ❛ we can just sit here, you don’t have to talk. ❜ ❛ did you miss me? ❜ ❛ this isn’t just about you. it’s about what’s best for all of us. ❜ ❛ you can never admit when you’re wrong! ❜ ❛ is this what you wanted? ❜ ❛ what are you doing out here by yourself? ❜ ❛ sorry to put you through that. i guess i owe you one now. ❜ ❛ the only time you talk to me is when you need something. ❜ ❛ i’m still learning. ❜ ❛ if you have something to say, spit it out. ❜ ❛ you… don’t like me very much, do you? ❜ ❛ i’m on your side. ❜ ❛ i risked my life for you! ❜ ❛ whatever you’re going to ask, the answer is no. ❜ ❛ you can stay with me. ❜ ❛ i just need time. ❜ ❛ please don’t do this, don’t act like you care. ❜ ❛ who the hell invited you? ❜ ❛ what? no witty remark? nothing clever to say? ❜ ❛ i just wanted to say i’m sorry. ❜ ❛ think of it as a compliment. ❜ ❛ do you ever stop being so serious and dull? ❜ ❛ it’s rare to see your kind around here. ❜ ❛ you remember me. that’s good. ❜ ❛ you’re a terrible flirt you know. ❜ ❛ are you kidding me? we’re not ‘fine’! ❜ ❛ right now i wish i was dead. ❜ ❛ i guess i should’ve told you. ❜ ❛ you’re not alone. i’m here. ❜ ❛ you’ve been so quiet. what’s on your mind? ❜ ❛ knowledge is power. ❜ ❛ you scared me. ❜ ❛ well, what’s so strange about that? ❜ ❛ don’t look at me like that. ❜ ❛ i want to be there when you get what’s coming to you. ❜ ❛ just who do you think you are? ❜ ❛ you look… amazing. ❜ ❛ we’re safe, aren’t we? ❜ ❛ you know, i really hoped i’d never see this place again. ❜ ❛ don’t touch me. get away from me. ❜ ❛ i thought you’d like this. ❜ ❛ it’s too dark, i can’t see anything. ❜ ❛ what’s that smug look for? you think you can do any better? ❜ ❛ who did you piss off this time? ❜ ❛ you should’ve thought about that before you got into a fight. ❜ ❛ i only wanted to help. ❜ ❛ you knew and you didn’t tell me? ❜ ❛ you don’t scare me. ❜ ❛ wow, look who remembered my existence. ❜ ❛ change isn’t easy. ❜ ❛ why did you help me? ❜ ❛ why do you hate me? ❜ ❛ i can’t even trust myself anymore. ❜ ❛ i was making sure you weren’t dead, since you never called. ❜ ❛ you look awful. what happened? ❜ ❛ are you here to kill me? ❜ ❛ you know you aren’t allowed in here, right? ❜ ❛ was that a friend of yours? ❜ ❛ two years later and you haven’t changed. ❜ ❛ you look like you just saw a ghost. ❜ ❛ nobody tells me what to do. ❜ ❛ you’re too scared to do it, aren’t you? ❜ ❛ come on. it can’t be that bad. ❜ ❛ i hope to repay your kindness someday. ❜ ❛ just let me do this for you. ❜ ❛ why were they coming after you? ❜ ❛ how many people have you killed? how many? ❜ ❛ how much do you value your life? ❜ ❛ you don’t know when to give up, do you? ❜ ❛ don’t lie to me. ❜ ❛ i’m not sober enough to talk about this. ❜ ❛ have a drink with me. ❜
