Uplifters

Important to me

Yes sir, you should know that a lot of marts and super markets are buying from us it's a good deal to do business with us
Miss Yvette I know your company is well to do but the discount is too much
25 percent discount is not too much, and besides I think you'd regret not doing business with us( he's being difficult, if we don't strike this deal out profit will reduce)
It's only for a year I'm not sure we'll find a better flour company in that time
Nonsense, no one is better than us. Fine 25 percent discount but for two years
You have yourself a deal, I'll have our lawyers draw up the contract.

Evie!! You stroked the deal
Yes
That's amazing that means in 6 months we'll start making a profit of 40 percent
That's good...I spoke to Rosie she said things are fine in the shop
Yeah, Zach went there yesterday, he said they miss us but they're great.
Well I'm going back to my office
Hey! Won't you get some lunch?
I'll have some waffles later.
Okay, let's go home together today
First of all lady you're living with your husband now and second I'll get off work late today
Evie you need to rest okay
Yes grandma.

I get off work at 10 and head home. It was such a hectic day, my employees worked very hard and the paperwork was a lot but at least I get to sleep for today.

You're pretty smart
Well I get that from daddy( yeah very much)...Vee I don't want to have a nightmare again
Listen when you have a nightmare be certain to wake up and remember it's not real.. okay

It's okay. He's asleep now
Thanks for rushing here
You know he reminded me of when I used to have nightmares
You had nightmares
Yeah as a child...I went through some pretty traumatizing situation..but I got over it
How?
By learning to cope with it( he smiles sadly at me)
Let me tell you something funny about me
Oh God please not another one of your jokes.
Heyyy my jokes are funny. Okay so when I was 19 my best friend and I went to Mexico and since I couldn't speak Spanish I said ci to everything and we were sent to a strip club
To watch women?
No to be watched by women
Huh( I say laughing)
We were taken as gigolos ( my eyes widen and I clutch my tummy laughing)
So what did you guys do?
We were teenagers what do you expect..we danced ( we laughed so much that we fell on the couch together)
I never would have imagined. The Joshua Jason Stinson as a gigolo
Those women enjoyed themselves
You're nuts( I say still laughing)
And you're beautiful .( I smile and drift off to sleep in his arms)
