The Past - Erich Blunt

back.

Hello my loves, we're scarily close to 10k and I am literally in disbelief over that.

Here is back.

Why the fuck would someone buy a bear with a sound chip?

No actually, why the fuck would I buy a bear with a sound chip in?

Cassidy has me wrapped round her little finger and by God does she know it.

I'm not complaining, her reaction to it was priceless.

When I dropped Cassidy off at play-school, she had to leave the bear in the car. I could bare to imagine her face if she lost it.

Now I'm sat at work reading through the contracts for Applsn's deal with TechNiss. In all honesty, I didn't understand the legal aspects. My job is to code, design and sell, everything else is not my problem. This is why I have my main man David Hertzberg on the case.

He's got me out of so much shit over the years.

"So is this all okay?"

"One second."

I groaned at how long he was taking.

"Yeah that's all good to go, but there's one thing."

"What?"

"You need to go over to Australia for the launch."

"Fuck off am I going all the way over there."

"You have to, it's in the in the agreement."

"Screw the agreement."

"Erich."

I calmed myself.

I hated flying, I think that's why I used to distract myself with Cindy when she was one of my air hostesses.

"Fine - so in the next 4 weeks, I'll be in Australia."

"That's if you get on the flight."

I rolled my eyes at David and sat back in my chair.

"Erich I need you to stay later tonight, I've booked the afternoon off."

Ivana.

"Why?"

"None of your business, I'm entitled to take as much time off as I want."

Bitch.

"You do realise that I have to pick up Cassidy from school?"

"David will do it."

David looked up confused.

"Would you?"

I pleaded.

"You're trusting me to pick up Cassidy?"

"That's what I just asked."

"Let me get this straight, you're asking me to pick up your child? Your only child that you've never trusted anyone else to pick up?"

"Yes."

"I- uh sure."

In all honesty, I did trust David. He knows almost everything. I confided in him about Kevin and he reassured me that nothing could get traced back to me.

This is why you befriend your lawyer.

I half smiled at him as he left the room.

"Come on then, where are you going this afternoon?"
