My transistion part 2_(0)

Part 2 takes place a few weeks after Lisa and I move in with each other.

It’s mid February and cold outside which is normal for a northern climate that we live in.
Lisa is working at a convince store and I’m looking for work in my field. Computer repair.
I graduated from a local university five years ago. I got work right out of school, but lost my job just before Sandy and I divorced.
It’s a tough field to find work in. I guess it’s a good thing I graduated top in my class.
My highschool buddy Ted was second and remembering the fact that he owed me a big favor, I went to see him when the company he works for had a job fair.
I’m still not totally comfortable with myself yet. But Lisa is helping with that and I am more and more comfortable as time goes by.
Ted as I found out was in charge of hiring at a local computer repair shop.
I prepared my resume the week before. I was confident I would get the job without using my favor.
I arrived 20 minutes early and sat in the waiting room patiently as two other people went in and left.
Finally I was called.
I entered and was asked to sit which I did. He was reading my resume, then looked up and said I was in this same class, but you claim to have graduated top of the class!? I happen to know the guy that aculay graduated at the top and it wasn’t you. Can you explain please.
Looking straight at him and realizing he didn’t recognize me, I say Ted I know this is going to sound unbelievable but it’s me. Jim!!! I’ve been through a lot in the last year or so. But I can explain.
Ted being the sarcastic Ted I know starts to say something, but I cut him off and finished his sentence.
He just sits there and looks at me and says, you must have known Jim in order to know what I was gonna say.
Ted, it’s me. Remember that trip that you and your girlfriend and I made to long lake. My girlfriend at the time got sick and couldn’t go so it was the three of us.
Ted sits back and thinks a little and says ya I remember. What did you find in the lake the second day there.
Without hesitation I say a sword but it wasn’t in the lake it was in the forest leaning against a rock.
Ted now has a stunned look on his face and says Jim, wha what the hell happened to you. His eyes squinting with a curious look on his face.
It’s a long story Ted, one I promise I’ll tell you another time. I’m here because I really need a job Ted. Can you help me.
Of course, are you kidding. Welcome aboard Jim. Then looking down he corrects himself and says Jill!?!? ( I changed my name to suit my female look ).
Ted says when can you start.
As soon as possible if that’s ok.
How about Monday morning 8 am sharp. A whole week away I think to myself but agree.
I was wondering if you’d like to catch up, I haven’t heard from you since school. I’d like for you to meet my wife.
Sure, can I bring a friend?
Ted looks at me puzzled and says in a bit if a broken voice, boyfriend.
Laughing at him, no. Lisa from grade school.
Ted smiles, ah yes, Lisa. Sure. How about tomorrow night at 6.
Sounds good.
On my way home I called Lisa to tell her the good news but she didn’t sound to happy about it, expecially after I mentioned Ted’s name but wouldn’t talk about it either.
I got home and started super and awaited Lisa’s arrival. She works from 7-3pm and should have been home be 3:30 at the latest but at 5 o’clock I tried calling her.
