“I mean she’s a *****.”

“And why is that a good thing?”

“Because I thought your paths might have crossed, it could be useful.”

The bloody arrogance of the man, made me so mad I started making sarcastic gestures with my hands.

“Why because me and my people, we are all on a first name basis.”

“May I suggest you get on one, because if we lose that grant”

 “Franklin, if you want me to go to New York and make nice I will, but please, stop panicking just let me handle it.”

“You had better Bette, the future of the CAC depends on it.”

I wonder how many years I’d get for murder? 25? It would be worth it though just to feel that worms neck between my fingers. Knowing my luck lately though, I’d probably get the death sentence. Even so No. Must shake that thought from my mind I need to focus on Tina. Can’t afford any more distractions, I’m in enough trouble as it is.

12.27 p.m. How in the name of the lord am I, suppose to get any work done if I keep getting interrupted.

“James, I thought I told you not to bother me?”

“Sorry but “

“And will you please stop saying sorry?”

“Sorr Candace is on line 1, this is the 6^th time she’s called today.”

“Jesus ***** Christ. Tell her not to ***** call again.”

When is that ***** woman going to get the message? She really is going to be the ***** death of me.

 4.45 p.m. Will this day ever ***** end?

4.46 p.m.  Telephone. I can really do without this. I thought I said no calls?

“Hello.” I didn’t mean for that to sound so harsh.

“Bette?”

It was Kit.

“Hi Kit, what’s up?”

“You eaten?”

“No.”

That’s why my throat felt like it had been cut and I was a little light headed. I really must remember to start eating something.

“You want Mexican?”     

“Sure.”

 4.49 p.m. Have arranged for Kit to come round to my place, for dinner at 7.00p.m. Hope she does not go on about what a colossal ***** up I’ve made of everything. One can only live in hope.

7.06 p.m. Didn’t, go on about what a colossal ***** up I’ve made of my life, instead was a quite enjoyable evening. Kit has decided she wants to buy the Planet from Marina, and wants me to help her fund it, had to put her straight on that one, don’t have the means, wish I could help, but can’t, it’s out of the question. Have offered to co sign the loan though. Glad Kit has something positive to focus on even if it is at Marina’s expense. Really hope Marina is okay, after her ordeal. Never thought she’d be the type to try and top herself. Just goes to show you never know what life’s gonna throw at you. Feel a bit hypocritical for judging her so harshly about her involvement with Jenny. Don’t suppose I’ll ever live that one down. At least Kit and I are getting to know each other a bit more these days. Maybe something good has come out of this mess. At least I’m finally having a decent relationship with my sister. Rather be working on the relationship I have or don’t have with Tina, but then I guess I’ll get to that eventually.      

9.01 p.m. Opened a bottle of Chardonnay.

10.18 p.m. Didn’t intend to drink the whole bottle, or the one after that. Oh well what the *****. Could get used to this stuff. Must remember not to give Kit such a hard time about the drinking, suppose it’s quite easy to become an alcoholic.

11.30 p.m. Do they really expect people to watch this garbage? I’ve just decided television sucks.

1.04 p.m. Oh please not again. Was Candace.

“Will you, leave me a ***** lone. It’s over. Don’t call me again.”

Hope she really does get the message this time.

 2. 23 a.m. Shouldn’t be driving after drinking so much but really needed to get out of that house, it feels so empty without Tina.
