Kevin

Sunday morning, I worked an early shift. It was just Bob and I for the first hour. It went well, and we seem to be bonding more and more. Once Jena came, the day improved even more. Jena and I have become Bob's favorites. I decided to finally loosen up completely around Bob for the first time. It felt good. I said what came to mind and cursed a lot more than usual. Bob was laughing the whole time and mocking Jena and I. Work has finally become more of a pleasure than a chore. I still have to deal with shitty customers and a sometimes annoying boss, but it's worth it. I basically get paid for hanging out and having fun. However, during all the laughing and talking, my shoulder/neck began to really act up. I had a few bad muscle spasms and it ached. There was nothing I could do but to keep working and stop thinking about it. Kevin came and we continued to all have a good time.
I really am taking a liking to Kevin. He's a really sweet guy, and I feel like I can loosen up around him. I like picking on him and busting his balls, but he doesn't mind. He isn't a replacement for Billy, but he is certainly gaining respect in the shoppe. He works harder than most of the others and refuses to take a break sometimes. His mom went to the hospital on Sunday (it ended up being nothing major, but he didn't know at the time). Kevin felt bad about asking to leave work to see what was going on at the hospital. He didn't want to leave, but we pushed him out and urged him to go. I worked with Kevin again today for a few hours solo. I enjoy working with him. I've only known him a few short months, but I feel a weird connection. I feel like I can trust him. I'm thinking about maybe telling him this whole situation with Leo and explaining pretty much everything to him. I want a guy's opinion who isn't biased. His love life hasn't exactly been a walk in the park either, so I'm hoping maybe he can relate to some of my struggles. Who knows. Should I really trust him with all of this? He'll be the first real person to actually maybe know the whole story of Bambi, Leo, and I. I'm nervous about exposing myself and my personal life, but sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone.
