#3 Too Good To Be True

My apartment has none of the sleek style of Jull's, and I hauled most of the furnitures home from the wallet friendly IKEA, but it's comfortable. Afterall it is still a rented unit. The furniture is all of the overstuffed, cozy variety, the kind that you can sink into for hours while you cuddle up with a good book. I settled onto my tan slip covered couch, putting my feet up the coffee table, and felt the overwhelming relief to be home that I always had at the end of a hard workday.

I'd spent the rest of my afternoon reworking the press release on Summit Conference Launch, grudgingly taking out all my favourite bits, making it as colorless as possible, it is a formal piece of work after all and it was demoralizing watching all of the spark being bleached out of it in comparison to the entertainment industry I was once in. Not that none of my best writing made it into print, just that the lucrative signing bonus has yet to come knocking at my door. So, I was stuck, which was a depressing reality to be faced with. When you're young and full of pie-in-the-sky ideas about adulthood-No parents telling you what to do! Your own place! Your own money! No more school- it never occurs to you that you might end up in a soul sucking job. Okay, maybe my job wasnt exactly soul sucking, I am married to it after all, but today just wasnt a barrel of laughs.

I remembered my weeks spent with Julls. We did a lot of cheesy couply stuff, which I probably should have been embarrassed about if I hadnt been enjoying myself so much. We went for pool sessions with my best buddies, movie marathons, strolling in shopping malls our hands linked together in a comfortably familiar way. We ate the best chicken rice and spent some quality time with his brother, and there was this morning when he made scrumptious breakfast and me admiringly watching him from the kitchen counter.

My favourite part of the week was when we spent Saturday morning just lounging round wearing sweats, munching on cookies smeared with honey glazed almonds and playing his all new Xbox 360. Everything seemed perfect and I have to admit at that very moment I was pretty complacent with what's in front of me and I thank God for finally having mercy on my disastrous love life and brought me someone that I can actually count on but...when all's good and the end note comes with a but...it spells trouble!
