As I sit in a late board meeting I receive a call. Damn phone is not on silent. Her name pops up on the screen fuck not now you were supposed to answer the phone 2 hours ago. I put the phone down while I apologise for the ring, damn telemarketers I say they never stop.

We go through financials trying to spot any irregularities, your moans keep echoing in my head. I shove them away and grit through the meeting. It ends trivial personal conversation is shared outside. It's cold I excuse myself.

I give a ring to you. You don't answer. Shit. I send a text. Oh well the stomach is rumbling and I don't have the energy to cook. I stop by the local cafe. What can i get you the mustache man asks me? Christ I can already hear my ex saying you are such a man child unable to cook. Prego roll and chips please.

Three girls walk in as I look at the sad state of affairs on the newspaper. I share a glance with one of them. Sorry there is one girl on my mind right now. I scoff the food down in the car and I feel it vibrating.

It's her name. As I eagerly read the message "I am in a spot of trouble with my landlord can you borrow me some money? Xoxo".

With a sigh I delete and block her number.

Sorry there is another girl on my mind right now I mutter.

Wow...nice one

Great story, did this really happen?

Some of it yes some of it no.
Bugger the grammar mistakes in this.
I do apologize.
The results of struggling to sleep and a glass of vino.

Archaic, you must chill bro. All the best to you, yes that shit does sometimes happen. Just never take anything close to heart - that's all I can say....

@Jonnys thank you bud.
I take most things like this with a pinch of salt.
Writing things like this does allow one to vent.

Well played... like a boss !

Love that story, it always gets my attention when I read something deep and meaningful like that. Especially when it is a true life event

I usually do the same when I want to vent I start writing. Wow I have amazed myself numerous times at what amazing reading stuff I can produce.

Good stuff bro. But like I always say "the perils of punting". Been there got the scars.

When I hear the words "Can you 'borrow' me some money"? that's when reality hits with a bump.
Fortunately it doesn't happen too often.
