The Office

I would have to deal with finding a place to live after a fast trip into the office. The one thing that Phillip couldn’t touch, in a sense my child, Wrightson Imports And Exports. Ten minutes after deciding, to go to the office, I’m at my desk, BBC Radio 3 playing softly over the speakers. A little after nine Jane makes her appearance.

“Morning Heather, how are you this lovely morning?” As I come out to meet her.

“Fine Jane, say of the top of your head do you remember the name of that realtor we used to find a country home for Phillip?

“Brison, John Brison!” Looking strangely at me “Why considering get a place of your own Heather?”

“Maybe!” Turning going into my office “Could you hold my calls for a bit I’m going to be a little busy sealing that Canadian deal!” Closing my door so she wouldn’t overhear my conversation with Mr. Brison

Jesus I sounded like I couldn’t have cared if she stayed or left , when in fact i never want her to leave ever. But really what could I offer Heather, all I am is a photo hack who lives over his place or work. She’s use to trips abroad, fancy dinners at high end restaurants, the finer things that life can provide when you have money.

Hell there’s times when i get by on a dozen bacon butties and coffee from the cafe across the street. The farthest I ever been is to Oxford and even that was Wisened Woman business! Really in all truth what could I offer Heather?

Ami must have picked up on my thoughts, “Don’t beat yourself up Graeme!, She’s still emotionally dazed by what’s happened!” Placing her hand on my shoulder “We girl only think of one thing when we’re kicked to the curb and that’s where am i going to go!”

Ami you didn’t hear me or saw the way acted with Heather this morning!” Removing her hand “It was like I was saying get out fast, like I couldn’t care less if she stayed!”

“So in other words you acted like a little boy who wasn’t getting what his fantasies already gave him!” Cutting right to the heart of me “And you know what you have to do with fantasies?” Pausing before hitting my between the eyes with the truth “Either make them real or forget them!”

Walking over to the phone, picking it up “ So call her and tell her how you really fell or…” putting the phone back down . walking over to me, taking me by the arm “Better yet go tell her in person!”

“Good idea if I knew where she was!” Ami just shakes her head in dismay at me

“Little boys can only think with one thing!” Returning back to the desk, searching and finding Heather’s release form. Picking up the phone dialing the number provided

“Wrightson Import and Exports how can i help you?”

“Can I speak with Mrs Wrightson please?”

I’m sorry she extremely busy today, can i take a message?

“No I’ll call back some other time thank you!” hanging up turning to me “ She’s at her office! So get going!”
