”“Why?” she asked. Was it because she was a mere resident? Because she was a ped? That last was a legitimate distinction. A year from now, if an...adult came into her office with a non-emergency complaint, she would send him to another doctor.Eric said “Because I can ignore his advice.” She laughed at his answer, and he joined in her laughter. “I love you,” he said.“And I love you, too.” He really did. He was so much more than she had experienced before. Why wasn’t he enough? Well, he was. It was. I doubt he had any complaints. Aside from being built like the proverbial brick shit house, she had a pretty face and big brown eyes too.While Silas and I tossed down a couple of shots of his better than I'd expected whiskey, I managed to casually mention that I didn't know exactly what year it was. He proudly got out his calendar and showed me it was 1847 and that today was June tenth. Now I knew when I was and along with knowing where I was I decided that my trip to Lancaster Texas had been. I owe almost two hundred thousand dollars and the bank is threatening to foreclose in a week or so. With a grin I say, Did you read the article on how much money I actually have. If you will agree to feed my family once a week for the life of this restaurant, I give you three hundred thousand dollars as a retainer, plus another twenty thousand dollars a year. He begins to stutter, JJ, I, I, I cant. I chuckled and say, You are correct much as these guys eat. I will make it four hundred thousand. Great he said, maybe you could entertain him while he is here. Ok I said, still clueless. Moni he said I mean really keep him entertained. Uhh you mean like sleep with him. Sure why not, it would mean a lot to me, I will pay you a bonus plus all expenses , clothing everything. Well I will need to ask Marc if he is OK with that. Ok let me know tomorrow. That evening I explained to Marc what Dave proposed and he told me if I wanted to do this it was good with him, we could really use the extra.
