Day 50: Tales Of Sick Notes And Plans For A Comeback Queen
Day 50 Of How To Move On From A Man — 1LD
“I’m sick,” read the message from James. “I can’t get out of bed. Are you ok without me?”
Considering he had spent most of last week either preoccupied with GG’s party or recovering from it, my best friend and business partner being sick wasn’t an ideal situation.
But when life gives you lemons, you make the biggest fucking jug of lemonade imaginable.
“Babe, rest up. I got this.”
What we had set on our work agenda I could do in my sleep; building a mood board for a website designer wasn’t exactly rocket science. I could do that at night.
During the day, I would use this time to find out exactly why Douglas was suddenly meddling in my business. And how he knew the name of our little venture considering I hadn’t told him anything.
The most likely person to have told him would be Taylor, his brother, GG’s boyfriend. GG was a partner in this as well, but she was excellent with this whole keeping up appearances post-break-up thing.
Her ex-husband was a twisted man, who used any piece of information against her to make their divorce that little extra messy.
GG understood full well the perils of my ex finding out something I didn’t want him to know.
If Taylor didn’t know much then, it couldn’t have been him or GG. And Sophia’s current preoccupation with having a threesome with Malcolm was turning her into a missing-in-action friend.
Not that I minded. We both had a lot going on.
Yet, Sophia knew all about the friendship dramas I had when we both left school. She knew firsthand what gossip will do to someone’s sense of self.
And between us four friends and business partners, we vowed to keep the details of our progress on the business quiet until we knew what we were doing with it.
Grow in private we all said. Until we gave the word.
No one had given the word yet.
No one had even mentioned having the conversation about possibly giving the word yet. But someone said something to Douglas.
And there was only one person I couldn’t account for; James. And he wasn’t here to defend himself. I would have to find the next closest person to the source; Douglas himself.
But how?
