Chapter 8
"So why exactly were you naked?" Margaret asked.
"I uh..... did it for fun.....?" Nino replied as they walked back to work from lunch.
"That's extremely weird. Are you sure? I didn't see you all day yesterday either."
"Yea sorry about that. My life's been confusing all of a sudden."
"Oh, speaking of confusion, I was wondering if you could come meet my parents tonight. Tonight is the only night they'll be in town and it'll really mean a lot to me."
"Well, I already had dinner plans with Jonah-"
"Jonah? Why the hell would you do that?!"
"Well..... ok fine, I'll meet you at your place for dinner, ok?"
"Thanks hun!" Margaret finished as she kissed Nino on the cheek and left for her desk. Nino sighed, took a box out of his pocket, looked at it and made his way to Jonah's desk.
"Jonah, we're leaving now..... change of plans." Nino demanded as he urged Jonah outside. They entered Nino's car and drove off.
"Wont you get in trouble for doing this Nino?" Jonah hesitated as Nino parked at the top of the hill.
"Look, Jonah, I can't do dinner and I don't care what Mitchell is going to say, I just want to talk. What about my name makes you sad?!" Nino started.
""Well..... I think it's because I worked with a guy named Nino before. Ever so recently..... Iv'e remembered him. He looked like you." Jonah replied.
"Did this guy..... help your business at all?"
"Oh, tremendously! He was always in and out that man. You never really knew where he was, that was how he was though. I only knew him for 5 days, but what 5 days they were!"
"What did you mean he was..... in and out?"
"Well he disappeared one day, then 2 days later he came back. Then the next day after that he was gone forever."
"He came back?"
He sure did. He never really told me why though. I miss that guy."
"I'm sure you did Jonah" Nino finished while starting up the car again to drive him and Jonah back to the office.
"I have work of my own to finish. I'm sorry I can't meet you for dinner though, I'm sorry." Nino sighed as he dropped off Jonah at the office and drove off.

Chapter 9
After driving around a while, the time came for dinner with Margaret and her family. After the dinner, Nino drove to the chemistry lab, to seek answers.
"Excuse me, you can't be in here without an appointment." A secretary started.
"Look toots, just stay out of my way, I'm looking for Anthony." Nino responded as he caught Anthony by the corner of his eye. Nino ran to him and Anthony tried to run away with no avail. Nino grabbed the back of Anthony's shirt and pulled him down to the ground.
"Please...... don't hurt me......" Anthony started, using a table to support himself.
"Look...." Nino started as he threw a box on the table and a ring plopped out. "I was going to propose to my girlfriend with that, you know! Now..... I can't even explain!"
"What are you talking about?! All I did was send you back in time for a day!" Anthony demanded.
"Goddamn it! When I went back, I had sex with young Jonah! Now I have all these weird gay feelings! I don't know what to think anymore."
"Oh dear. this isn't good."
"That's not the worst part either! I think I may have been the one to start up his company for him."
"Oh my. This isn't good at all. He was supposed to start up that company himself! You could have seriously affected the future!"
"And that's really not all. Jonah said he saw me two times, not one!"
"Great God! I'm a genius! But this is serious. We're going to have to analyze you in the back room over here."
"Look. I don't even know if I want to go back. I love Margaret!"
"We can't change the past. It already happened. He will see you and I have a way of making things really easy for you!"
"How?!"
"Well, we came up with this solution that should send you back for about 10 seconds. He'd see you and you'd be gone. His story stays accurate and you can stay with Margaret."
"Can you really do that? That is what I want."
"Then come with me and we will start the procedure immediately. Now this wont require much of you, but I need you to- Nino? Nino?!" Anthony finished as he turned around and Nino was gone.

Chapter 10
"Nino?! What the hell happened to you, man?" Nino heard as he got up naked.
"Huh.... what?" Nino mumbled as he got up and covered his privates. "Huh..... Jonah?! Oh my God!" he continued and he fell to the ground in fright.
"Yea. It's me, who else? What the heck happened to you? You vanished for two whole days!"
"I know. And I wont be here long either. Soon I'm leaving here forever."
"But why? I thought you were going to help me with the company! Are you just some weirdo drifter who used me for sex?!"
"No Jonah. None of that is true. Truth is, I can't explain. You wouldn't believe me. But I am here.... so how's the company?"
"Pshh..... It figures. The company is doing better than it ever was. I'll need to hire soon, it's doing so well."
"That's great Jonah, I'm proud."
"The only weird thing is....... well, you. Why can't you stay?"
"It's beyond my control. I'll help you out as much as I can now, if it helps."
"It would. I missed you. You broke my heart, you did. And now I can't keep my Goddamn eyes off you...... naked and all. You get into another bar fight?"
"Maybe I should clothe myself." Nino said avoiding the question. So Nino and young Jonah talked as they went inside. Jonah admitted he still had the clothes Nino vanished in, stored in his desk draw. Jonah was too confused about the situation to care where Nino had been anyway. He just wanted Nino to be with him, no matter hat it took. As Jonah locked up, Nino wrote some sentences down on a piece of paper and put it in his pocket for later.
