Beeps…
"Hello" – Nancy answered.
"Hello, it's me" – I said.
"Oh… Jas" – she said.
"Are you at home?" – I asked.
"Yes, everything is fine" – she answered.
"Ok, ok… I hope to see you soon" – I said.
"Me too" – she said.
"Bye" – I said.
"Bye" – she said.
I almost finished my lunch.
"Check bill, pls" – I said and finished drink orange juice.
I paid the bill and left the cafe. I got upstairs and turned the TV on. So many ADs about villas and condominiums, swimming pools, ocean views… Pay money, be king!
Not my option.
About 8 p.m. / I got out of the bed and opened the fridge. I took out a bottle of water. Time to refresh. I drank water. So good… now! Ok… no problem. Time was going…
Incoming call…
"Hello" – I answered.
"Hey Jas. How are you?" – he asked.
"It's ok. And you?" – I answered.
"Nice, nice… Are you ready to go?" – he asked.
"Yes, I'm ready" – I answered.
"Ok, be ready on time" – he said.
"No problem" – I said.
22:50 p.m. / I drank a bottle of water. I checked my computer… got message about my photos. I replied. Have chance to earn some cash. Money is always honey. Ding– ding. Incoming call…
"Yes" – I answered.
"Come outside, I'm near" – Jim said.
"Ok" – I said.
I got down and went close to the road. I saw Jim's car.
"Jas… how are you doing?" – Jim asked from the car.
"Hey… Jim, not bad. We are going?" – I answered.
"Yes, get in… man" – he said.
I got into the car. Jim turned madly. And pressed down on the gas pedal. Crazy driving, crazy thoughts… damn! We must get to our place in time. I don't know, maybe not!
"Jim, how is weather today?" – I asked.
"Damn bad weather" – he answered.
"Do you know where to go?" – I asked.
"Yes, we almost come" – he answered.
He made turn and drove through the back streets. We got to our point. Jim parked the car. We left the car and got upstairs. It was two-Storey building. I saw a beautiful veranda. It was our place for poker and talking.
"Hey, Jas" – said one guy sitting there.
"Hey, man" – I said. (I knew this guy before).
"Hey, how are you?" – asked another guy sitting near (I didn't know another guy).
"Hey, not bad. And you?" – I answered.
"Good" – another guy said.
We started our conversation. Jim was good. He sat and laughed sometimes. The guy… who I knew was a good player. But… today. I didn't mean to be serious and wanted to rest a little.
