2019-07-01 - Cash is King

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : So, about that job?

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Yeah? Seriously?

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : I could use someone that might be interested in helping out. With like...PI stuff.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : I need to slow down. So if I can drop some of my gigs and help you out instead, all the better.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Don't know about PI stuff, but I'm good at talking to people!

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Talk to people, help me stay organized, answer phones, use computers. Easy shit. And I pay well.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : I'm in.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Great. You want to set up direct deposit or just get paper checks, or cash?

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Cash is king.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : And Bay?

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Yeah?

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : He told me. We're good.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Good. Saves me the trouble of kicking him in the ass.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : I didn't know it wasn't an okay thing. I wouldn't have done it otherwise.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : You and Aidan okay?

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : He and I never had 'the talk', I was avoiding him, it would be a pretty dick move of me to be an ass about it.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Yeah. Aidan and I are both aware that we're shit at relationships and do stupid shit, so...I'm going to buy him a bunny. Or maybe a bed. Or throw myself at his feet and beg for him to not kick me out.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : You are a wise woman. I'd take a bunny too, but the job'll do.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : I can get you a bunny, too. Or new shoes.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Ha! Just the job. Who has time for a bunny? Aidan would just end up with 2. Then 20. Because they multiply.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : He could pull them out of his hat for his magic show at least.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : He does magic?!

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : This I gotta see.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : You didn't know?! Yeah. He does magic. It's kinda hot...weirdly.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Does is saw you in half as foreplay?

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Nope. But I might ask him if he can now.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Um. Yeah!

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : But he's got magical hands.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Ha!

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : You know this can't be full time, right? I can't give up my job at the Hospital.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : And I'm the only thing keeping Gina sane at the diner.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : I don't even work fulltime.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : I can work around whatever schedule needs you got, too. So don't worry about it.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Awesome. Look at me! Slowing down. He's worth it though.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Easton?

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : If I have any hopes of spending time with him, yeah. I wasn't exactly blowing him off, saying I had to work.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : I figured you had work, but I also knew why you were working so hard. I'm guessing he didn't know?

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Still doesn't. We'll get there.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : But if I can replace three jobs with one but not really lose anything? It should help.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : How much were those three jobs paying in total?

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : $400-600/month

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : That's it?

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : What do you mean that's it?!

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : ...you have no concept of money, do you?

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : I was going to pay $400 a week.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Too much.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Nope. $400 a week.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Well then I quit.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Just kidding.

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Uh huh. $400 a week, cash. Every Friday.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : This isn't 'sorry I boned your boyfriend' money is it?

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Nope. I'd pay a grand a week if it was.

(TXT to Baylee) Bennie : Good. See you soon! (sunshine emoji)

(TXT to Bennie) Baylee : Later!
