John Gartland:
I haven't dropped off the radar, just taking care of domestic business for a day.
100 % back on stream now.Thanks pal, you're a good heart. That's brilliant and generous of you .... the cash is bloody helpful of course, but even more generous is throwing open your book to me and letting me walk in and make changes, as well as edit. Your confidence will not be misplaced. You can be confident I'll give it my best shot. If I go off-radar for a period fear not, our project will never be far away from focus..I've been sweeping together things for that new poem you wanted, doing a bit of research. It's all in the kitchen now, marinating, let's see what comes.
Me:
Let's make it a loan, no editing I said. I continued. 'I'm on about the same payment as you but it's ten times more expensive here. The money I sent you will pay for my next dental appointment, so send it back.'
I should have just accepted him paying me back at the end of the month. Though I questioned whether he would. He was too much of a smooth operation to not question him.
You fucked over Mr. Blues and Kevin Cum-in-my-pants, your nickname for him.
I added, 'I don't usually loan money to anyone I haven't met nor let alone seen on webcam.'
As usual, no response. He didn't need to give one. He played his part and got the cash. It was now in Gartland's dirty hands and no one, I mean no one, would ever take it away from him.
