about 3 months ago ***** got a new bartending job that's only 10 minutes away from where I work. he's usually there 3-4 nights a week between tuesday and friday, and I work all those days plus weekends. his place is open an hour later than mine is, so during the week I'll go to his bar after mine closes for free dinner and drinks during last call then I'll help close so that it gets done faster and we have more time to hangout afterwards. he stopped working weekends so on those days he comes to my place and does the same thing for me, except I can't give him free shit or else I'll get fired which is dumb, but whatever.
it's not something either of us ever asked the other to do, it just started happening. it's not every single day of the week either, just when we can which ends up being most of them. but yesterday he told me that on the day I didn't go this week because I went out with my friend C that night instead, one of his regulars who's this sloppy drunk everyone calls biggie kept asking him where his wife was to the point where it got weird. he said that at first he thought he was joking bc we're both friendly with him so he just played along but after 5 or 6 times he had to come back at him a little like, "you mean shannon? who's not my wife? I don't know bro, she doesn't work here. what do you mean where is she? who wants to know?" which I thought was funny in the moment because ummm what the fuck, but in retrospect made me realize that when I'm there I probably look like one of those bum ass "I like to sit outside my boyfriend's job and color while he works all day teehee heehaw I'm just a girl" bitches....
