West 3rd St KDH – James and Lenka Hudson are a happy couple this week. On Wednesday they will have been married for exactly one year, leaving two more to go until she can legally leave him while retaining her citizenship.
“It’s been a dream,” James said, “I never thought I could meet someone so perfect for me. She just gets me like no American woman ever could.”
“Yeah, it is great,” Lenka said in a way that you couldn’t tell if it was sarcasm or her accent, “I love taking care of a 27 year old who still watches anime for hours every night.”
“You know,” James said before taking a moment to vape, “Even though I didn’t have a lot of dating experience before Lenka, I can tell she’s the one. Did she tell you how we met? I was riding my moped on the bike path in Duck, and I slowed down to check her out. Instead of recoiling in terror, she asked me for a ride because she was late to her third job at Food Lion.”
“Yes, he saved me that day. Thankfully he had just been fired from his job for drinking beers in the walk in cooler the day before and had the time to take me to work. I still work all three jobs as well as attend classes at C.O.A. I try to stay busy,” Lenka responded.
“You would think she doesn’t like being around here,” James joked and pointed around his Mom’s house where a ferret was playing in an empty case of beer. “She still makes time for me. We have pizza and movie night about three to four nights a week.”
“When am I gonna get some grandkids,” Jame’s mom interjected from her chair in the living room.
“Well it is hard to be intimate when you never leave the house,” James retorted before pointing at her and rolling his eyes. “Besides Lenka wants to wait until she gets her degree from C.O.A. before starting a family.”
“Yes and that will take another two years from today,” Lenka said quickly then looked off into the distance, “two long years.”
