When I got home on Friday Josh asked me if we could still go on dates even though we live in the same house now. He almost seemed shy and it made me like Josh even more. Despite that I had to say no when he asked me to go to this thing today because I had work.
Josh looked so sad that Danielle told him if she weren't working too she would go with him. Alex came running into the kitchen to tell Josh, "I'll go! Take me! I don't have a job!" So he changed the plan and my boyfriend took my baby sister to the Howl Festival today. They came to the diner afterwards and Alex insisted Josh had fun with her. Josh hugged me and whispered, "Yes, but a very different kind of fun."
Tonight Alex told me she wants to get a job, because Danielle and I have them. Danielle pushed her, saying she is too little for a job. Alex got angry and announced, "I can turn tricks!" Josh violently choked on his drink and we all stared at her. "What? I could," Al insisted.
Sometimes Alex's naivete shocks me. The whole time we lived with Aunt Elaine in the South Bronx pimps would hang out in the street and offer to hire us, to turn tricks for them. Turns out all this time Alex thought it had something to do with magic. Showing men magic tricks in private for money. Thank goodness we could set her straight at home. How embarrassing it would have been if Alex said this at school in front of everybody.
Josh left a note on my pillow that I saw when I got home from the diner. In it he asks me to tell him exactly which nights I am not working, and tells me to consider myself asked out for that night.

Awww.. so sweet. In a way, you are sooooo lucky to have your boyfriend around and see him everyday. My boyfriend and I don't get to see each other, sometimes for months! Hope you'll have a great time with Josh :)
oh my goodness...that's a great imagination if that's what she was thinking...and definitely she is sheltered somehow, despite living in nyc lol.
