GCAVixens: Workaholicked: A Girlfriend's Intervention

Brazzers

Alexis Tae, Nicole Kitt Pic(s)

The frantic glow of my laptop screen had become a permanent fixture in our living room, casting long shadows that seemed to mirror the growing distance between us. Alexis, my ever-patient girlfriend, would often linger in the doorway, her presence a silent question I was too busy to answer, her sighs lost beneath the clatter of my keyboard. It all came to a head last Tuesday when she arrived home with Nicole, her best friend, their expressions a unified front of stern concern rather than casual social call. “We need to talk,” Alexis began, her voice soft but firm, as Nicole nodded in solemn agreement, effectively cornering me on the very couch I used as my auxiliary office. They presented their case not with anger, but with a heartbreaking collage of missed dates, forgotten conversations, and a photo of me asleep on my keyboard. “You’re not just working hard,” Nicole interjected, her tone leaving no room for argument, “you’re addicted, and this ‘workaholicked’ lifestyle is erasing the man she fell in love with.” Alexis then reached for my hand, her touch a startling reminder of a connection I had been neglecting for months, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. They had crafted a full intervention, complete with a printed itinerary for digital detox weekends and a contract for mandatory, device-free dinners. In that moment, the flimsy fortress of my excuses collapsed, and I saw the profound worry I had caused reflected in their determined faces. The relentless drive for professional success finally paled in comparison to the simple, vital need to be present for the people who loved me most.
