Greg keeps his phone on him all day, waiting for Nick to possibly call. During the day he cleans his entire apartment. He is a very clean person, and mostly the space he barley is ever in is spotless.
Once he finds himself cleaning the already clean he gives up and watches TV. There is a marathon of a corny crime drama on. Sometimes Greg just wished his life was a crime drama, it seemed like it would be much easier in the end. Because almost every episode ended up good, and if not right away it would eventually.
His cell phone next to him rings, and he snatches it up, expecting it to be Nick , and is a little disappointed to see that it is his mom.
"Hi Momma," He answers.
"Hi Greggy," she says in her most pleasant, sweet voice, "How is my only son?"
He sighs desperately wanting to tell her everything on his mind right then. Tell her about every lie that he has every told her, about Nick and how he makes him feel. He wants nothing left to hide from everyone. "Fine," He says instead.
"Well, Good," She says.
"How are you and dad," He says in a hallow voice.
"Excellent," She says, "I have something to ask of you Greg,"
Shakily Greg asks, "What?"
"You know the little General Store your uncle owns, the one just outside town?" She asks.
"Of course," He says, thinking about the past. During the summer he would sometimes help his uncle run the store for a little extra pocket money. But most of all he remembered a boy by the name of John. But he didn't like to think about that. "What about it?"
"He needs someone to help him run the store, he isn't exactly young anymore, and he doesn't trust anyone but you," She says.
"Why me?"
"He likes you Greg, you're a smart kid," She says, pausing, "And besides it would be a lot safer," She has pestered him about a career change ever since he started working in the lab as a DNA tech, but he never wanted to leave.
He has a lot of friends in Vegas, including Nick which he didn't want to leave anytime soon. Not sure what to say he tells something she would like to hear, "Ill think about it, kay?"
"Thank you Greggy,"
"Do you need anything else Mom?" He asks, looking at the time.
"I wont keep you," she says, "Talk to you later this week?"
"Yeah mom," He hangs up. He looks around and sighs heavily. Nick was keeping him there, really. He had other friends, but even if he did move he could talk to them all. The one thing he would miss would be seeing Nick everyday, the way he jokes with him and the nicknames. The way he winked at him and made him feel special from across a crowded room.
He jumps as his phone rings again. Its Nick, and he answers with a very casual, "Hey,"
"Greggo, I'm leaving work now," He says, "You busy?"
"Nope," Greg replies, trying not to sound to excited. "You comin' over?"
"You know it," Nick says, "The game is on,"
"Cool," Greg says, hiding his disappointment, "Cant wait,"
"Awesome buddy, ill be there soon," And he hangs up. Greg sits on his couch, the sun is starting go down. He is ready for a long night. And what a long night it would turn out to be.
