It has been a whole day since I am back home and I haven’t managed to do anything productive, forget productive I haven’t left my bed yet.
“Hey boss, how was your vacation?” saying this Karl has entered my room. Karl I think is one person who I love and hate the most at the same time. Karl is a childhood friend turned manager who hates when I take vacation, but here he is pretended to show interest in my travel stories.
“For one don’t call me boss, I officially hate that word and two get out of here I am in no mood to do any work today or for a few days to come.”
“Boss? what is wrong with boss now? Forget that I would love to extend your holiday, but you got to finish your prep workshops for the movie, we start shooting next month. There is a list of thing that need to be done, on the 18th you have to shoot a magazine cover, 19th you need to attend Susan’s book launch and 20th you are attending the music carnival.
“Cancel the carnival? I need 20th to be free of any events.”
“What do you mean cancel the carnival? Where you not the one who was so excited to go there? I had to make way too many calls to make sure we get the tickets.”
“Perfect, why don’t you and Jim go and have fun. I want to be free on the 20th”
“Do you have any plans on the 20th?”
“Not yet, but you never know.”
The rest of the morning has been super boring.Jim decided to make breakfast today, but I am in no mood to eat, not that I can tell him that.
“How are the pancakes Richard?”
“Uh. What? Oh the pancakes are absolutely delicious.”
“Try that again, this time answer after eating a bite at least.”
“Jim you always make the best pancakes, I know they are going to be delicious.”
“Says the guy who is awfully distracted today.”
“Yeah boss, Sorry Richard what is going on? What is this new found obsession with the phone you have now? The guy who didn’t even bother to pick up his phone is looking at it even when it is just a message tone.”
“It is nothing guys, I am going to finish my breakfast in my room.”
The wait is just getting longer, I think I need to get out of the house to clear my head.
“Jim get the car out we are going to the thousand steps beach.”
Jim and Karl exchange looks and Karl finally says what both of them are thinking, “The thousand steps beach, Jim it is official something is bothering him, after all it is his thinking beach.”
After thinking for a while what I am should text I have finally come up with something
Hi Richard.
Popped a message on my phone.
“Jim plan cancelled we are not going.”
I want to say something smart, but I cannot be bothered putting too much thought and wasting another minute.
Hi Kimberly, how is the city life treating you?
So it is not just looks, there is some brains up there as well, brownie points for knowing it was me. City life is a drag the only thing good here is the endless amount of ice-cream flavours I can have.
I am gonna take that as a compliment, what is your favourite ice-cream flavour?
Now that is what I call a difficult question, if I had to pick not trying to offend any other flavours Double chocolate with chip and vanilla ice-cream with chocolate syrup topped with crushed dry fruits. What about you?
I don’t have a favourite, I haven’t eaten ice-cream in ages.
what do you mean I haven’t eaten ice-cream in ages ? Don’t know if we can be friends anymore
I have been off sugar for ages cause of my diet restriction, I honestly don’t remember the last time we had ice-cream.
That is it the next time we meet we are going to have ice-cream.
How about tonight?
Okay, Midnight it is then Cinderella.
Very funny, can’t wait to see you.
