Them's the breaks



Omaha mopped the kitchen floor once again. It seemed he did all the household chores, lately. Maybe he did it out of guilt since their dinner party with Kevin and the co-worker didn't quite pan out. How was he to know she was such a big vegan.

He was pretty sure Kevin wasn't fond of Beth's quirkiness, either. But Sheena gave him the third degree, afterward, and Kevin was a touchy subject, ever since.

Why couldn't she be on his side? What was he suppose to do? Honestly, he didn't want to be Kevin's friends. It was definitely not in his plans to fix Kevin up with anyone.

Was this what he had to look forward too? At this rate, he and Sheena might break up by summer.

"You're just gonna have to say Yes Dear, more often," Taylor told him over the phone. He got a good chuckle out of the whole Kevin ordeal. "Just keep smiling and doing nice things for Sheena and you'll have nothing to worry about."

"Really?" Was it that simple?

"You', are the most stubborn thing, out there, dude." Taylor laid it out for him. "You have to remember how much you love her, and you have to be there for her."

Omaha winced, thinking it was total madness. He wished Sheena was still working at the same place he worked. Now someone else was getting her most of the day.

"What it?" He'd hate to think it. "What if this Kevin's already in love with her?"

"Stop thinking such nonsense. Appreciate that girl of yours. Take her out. Do some traveling," Taylor suggested. "Oh, and have sex as much a possible. And don't forget to cuddle. That's the essential part."

Omaha felt drained thinking about it. It was a fulltime job being Sheena's man.
