Joey hated it, when he dreamed lately..because every dream ended up being about Xander who turned into Sid..every time he kissed him.
What was that about?
He certainly wasn't going to mention it, when Patty wanted to meet him for lunch.
"Are you getting enough sleep?" She asked.
"Of course." He lied with a sour wince. What was she getting at?
"They seem to think you're making a lot of mistakes at work." She then informed him, all it took was 8 hours of sleep to keep the mind from slipping. "Is something bothering you?"
"No." It was so harsh to hear her words about work. He didn't know. No one said anything to him about it. Maybe she was making this crap up. He wasn't sure.
"And how are you and Corina?" Patty's smile was smug as if she knew, everything going on with the two of them.
"What did Xander tell you?" Joey wanted to know. Xander probably told her more than Patty ever needed to know. "Corina's back at the University. We see each other..at work..mostly." Or did they? Sometimes, his mind was all a blur. Sometimes, he really needed to see her. Take his mind off..this other world..he didn't want to be a part of.
Still, deep inside, he wondered if there was more than just the one of him. He hadn't gone off and done something..he shouldn't. Right?
Well, he certainly didn't want Patty, his counselor to know about it.
I love your character diversity in regards to gender and orientation. It's plentiful without being gratuitous.
