Over the days we were working with him more and more as things were starting to pick up. I was cleaning the bathrooms and they were making the beds and cleaning the living area as it was called of the rooms. We were putting out clean rooms quick. Over the days he started to talk here and there.

Over the days I grew closer to my GSM, we will call her Nat.

Nat pulled me aside and told me how he made a comment to her about having a thing for moms with a fat ass and she blushed. She had a husband but I could tell she liked his flirtatious activity. I smiled at her and made a comment about how at least I was mom too so maybe I had a shot. She just shook her head at me.
I remember we took a rest and laid across the stripped beds. Nat and him laid on one bed and I laid across another. When we all finally got up I walked by and smacked her bum. The loud crack caught his attention and I could feel him looking at me.

Later that day she had to go check other rooms so him and I were alone in a couple rooms. I played music out loud to pass time as he listened to whatever he was listening too. A song came on and I heard him singing it. I walked out the room to grab something off my cart and he stopped and danced a little when he looked at me so I did it too and he just smiled. I could tell he was goofy at heart and I really liked that.

We got to the next room and I can't remember how the conversation started but I remember star signs coming up as we participated in small talk.

"I'm a pieces," he said.

"Y'all water signs be toxic as fuck," I said with a chuckle.

"What's that supposed to mean? I'm not toxic," he said defensively with a grin.

"Everyone's toxic," I replied my smile fading.

"Well what's your zodiac sign?" He asked.

"Libra," I said looking up at him standing just outside the bathroom.

"Ohh okay, so that means your birthday is?" He paused.

"October 12th?" I replied.

After that short exchange we finished up the room and moved onto the next one.
Nat came back upstairs and we got going even faster.

When we took our lunch break we all went down. Something got said and his mom or the GM looked at me then him and said "don't mess around with her she'll break your heart."
I laughed and shook my head but another comment was made that I couldn't quite hear, next thing I know him and Nat are literally on the floor laughing.

I went about going outside on my break to indulge in my bad habit. I lit a cigarette and took a drag. I sat in one of the chairs and put my feet up in another.

After our break was over we went back to cleaning. He was quiet again listening to a Deadpool movie as he recited some of the lines here and there.

Then the day came to an end but we'd be back at it the next day.
