When I get back to Bens place, he was still asleep, he must have had a hangover he looks horrible. I wondered around the house not wanting to wake him up. I looked at the shelves above his desk filled with books. Our yearbooks, I take one out flipping through the pages when a piece of paper falls out. I unfold it from its boxed shape reading what was inside it. It was a confession letter, very neat penmanship but around the edges were faded so I couldn't tell who it was make out to be for. I fold it back into its box shape placing it back into the yearbook.

Putting the book back it got me curious who that love letter was for, I just couldn't take my mind off of it. The way it was written had hope and love but the words were deeper than poetry. Confused I go back to the living room where I fall back to sleep.

Later on, I wake up hearing rushing footsteps back and forth around me, opening my lazy eyes I see Ben rushing around the room searching for something. I sit up trying to wake myself up but not trying to be in the way.

" Ivy do you know how to tie a tie?" Ben says standing in front of me, as I start to reach for the tie there was this ratchet smell coming from him.

" How much time do you have?" I ask putting my hands down.

" About Five hours, job interview then blind date..." He answers nervously.

" Okay Ben, why don't you take everything you have on now and throw it in the wash and take a deep shower, I'll have your clothes ready don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Breath." I say in a moderate calm voice. He nods, he starts to open his mouth when I interrupt him. " Take a 12-minute shower, I'll knock on the door when it's time I promise," I add knowing what he was going to say. He leaves and starts to take his shower 'Warm water! Not hot!' I yell through the door as I pass going to his room.

I open his walk in closet, wondering why a single guy was a walk in closet. I grab two thin suits and three nice looking ties, a pair of black slacks and black dress shoes. I lay them on the bed and I yell 'Don't forget your feet!' When I pass the bathroom again going to the kitchen. Making eggs and toast, setting them on the table with orange juice. I knock on the bathroom door telling him to get out. Grabbing his robe I hand it to him between the crack of the door.  He gets out and comes into his room.
" Just answer my questions, okay. One or two? Just pick a number." I ask. He responds with two. " Now pick one through three," I say. He responded with three.

" Okay here you have your clothes, just grab a pair of black underwear and dark blue socks, okay?" I say as I leave their room after putting the other choices away. He comes out with his robe still on, looking at me. I look at him for a moment, I wonder to myself why are guys so clueless?

" Fresh Deodorant, dark blue socks and black underwear. Brush your teeth and dry off your hair. " I say reminding him what to do. A few minutes later he comes out looking like a boss.

" Thank you so much, Ivy..."  He thanks me after he sits down at the table. I put an apron on him so he doesn't make his suit dirty. After he eats I tie his tie and sprays his cologne for him.

" There, What are you going to bring to my company?" I start throwing out questions that he answered successfully. " Good job, I personally think that you should cancel your dinner plans. Because I don't want someone to mess up your career." I say as I take his plate from him.

" I don't know what I would ever do without you, Ivy. This is just like the time at the high school dance with Miss. Maybel. You helped me then too." He has at I nod remembering the dance.

" You really need to get everything together one day I'm not going to be here," I said plopping down on the couch.

" You know... you would make an amazing housewife... You helped me without me saying anything." He says and blushes.

" I just don't know why you get ready hours in advance knowing you have time. You would just make a horrible husband." I say smiling, " You know I'm just joking."

" I know but you know I'm not." He continues.

" Who set you up with this blind date anyway, and your job interview right?" I ask.

" Rin's brother set up the date and cooking interview." He says as he walks over and flips on the tv.

" Rin has a brother..?" I whisper under me breath. " Oh I had to bring him to work earlier, and I wanted to know if you remember what you said to me?"

" No, I don't.." he replies thinking hard about it.

" Okay, well could you take me to the bar when you leave?" I ask he agrees too as I doze off again.

A few hours later Ben wakes me up saying that we're leaving. I get changed real quick and hop in the car. He drops me off telling me that he'll meet me back here after the interview. I walk off into the bar seeing Rin, I wave ant take a seat at the bar.

" Hey Rin, I was just wondering if your hiring here, I'm looking for a job," I say to him as he serves someone a drink.

" Yeah, we have let me get an application." He says walking away getting it. I thank him as I start to fill it out. I get stumped on a question. " Hey, what do you mean when you say allergies do you mean by food or medication?" I ask.

" Both any allergy writes it down." He answers as I finish the application.

" Where do I turn this in," I ask as he takes the paper from me and smiles.

" I like your penmanship, I look at it after my shift. Meanwhile, do you want a drink?" He asks like he knows me completely.

" Um... No thank you, I should start going to get my day started." I say my goodbyes and get going to put in other applications. A few hours later I return back to the bar finding Ben drunk at the bar.

" He has six beers so far..." Rin says as he hands me the car keys.

" Thank you, umm... I was wondering least night... did anything happen?" I ask nervously as Rin picks up Ben under his arm for support.

" What do you mean?" He asks.

" I just wasn't expecting to wake up next to him... I don't remember anything and-" I got cut off by Rin.

" No, you were gone and Ben here was just like this..." He says as Ben mumbles something.

" Does he come here often?" I as-is he plays him in the car.

" Yeah, a lot lately. He's been really drunk four times last week, is everything okay..?" Rin continues.

" To my knowledge yeah, do you think he might be a... alcoholic?" I ask and I hop in the car glancing at Ben.

" I have no idea, he's been acting strange, though, I hope he's alright... Well, drive safe okay." Rin says as he closes my door, I nod and start driving home. I lay him in bed undoing his tie, wondering what's really happening. Ben passed out in his room, I make a one person dinner and placed it on the table as there was a knock on the door.

Rin came to check up on Ben, I offered him dinner and he agreed, I made lasagna, takinga perfect dinner for two.  We sttalkingabout ourselves and we finished. After we sat on the couch watching a movie of his choice, not too soon after it started I fell asleep.
