Manny & Wren


Manny didn't want to tell anyone he was a fuck-up, but it was possibly so at the Cum & Go. Yeah, he didn't even like the name of the place. And to be on the graveyard shift, sucked even worse. This was not the life he wanted in Seoul. And then there was Wren.

It was weird to share a bed with someone who was never in the bed the same time he was. How could that be fun?

Oh, and his love life sucked badly, too. Not that he would know of one. He was always on the outside looking in when it came to that sort of thing. Other people handled it. As of yet, no one had found him charming.

True, he could be a wise-ass. Maybe his heavy eye-lips were a little sleazy. He was sure by now, someone would find something to like about him. He wasn't sure if Wren was the answer.

It felt forced to like each other. And he really wasn't that kind of guy. Especially, when he hated his job.

"Well, you should quit then," Wren said as if she finally had something helpful in mind.

He winced hard as if she might be drunk. Who said things like that?

"You can be my guide." She smiled ever so sweetly at him, the morning he came home to tell her about his terrible job. How some kids, wrecked the place and slung ice everywhere when he didn't give the cash they were after. "I'll pay you."

"What?" Did he hear her correctly?

"You heard me." She shrugged. She also said they needed a bigger bed if they were going to be sleeping together.
