1 Vacation

Leon decided to call his assistant. He was in a hotel in "some part of the world". He had decided to take everyone out for a vacation. The whole office.

"What about the company Boss?" Sarah asked .

"What about it?"

"Who is going to be left behind?"

"Well ,we will work away from the office for the vacation !"

"Mmh really!"

"There is cloud,online marketing and sales, we all have PCs ,so i don't see the problem!"

His mum called. The florist who lived nearby had just fallen from his ladder. He had broken a rib and a leg .He had been tending to the flowers on the candle holders hanging from the ceiling.

Leon laughed. "Jim with his extravaganza ,he lives too big for a pauper !"

Jim had won the lottery on the weekend draw. He had bought a second hand vitz from a mexican.He decided to pimp it. He literally bought a new car cause the spare parts he spent on the old tortoise went in where every old nut and bolt were.

"Am rich !!" Jim cried.

"For heavens sake go to sleep!!" The neighbours cried out.

leon had this grandma from the 90s always passing by every single day. Sarah her assistant always scared her away when he was not around. But when she sensed he was in ,she most often threw up tantrums "lemme pass, leon ..i want to see Leon !" And Leon was always surprised himself to find a note in his pocket ,he never noticed earlier was there.

Leon sat there by the beach ticking off his movie watch list on his notebook. " Gracias ,monsieur.!" A young muscular man greeted him.He took off his glasses and really liked the shirt the guy was wearing.

"Is that hawaii ? I am into hawaii shirts these days !" He remarked.

" Yeah this one made my wife not talk to me for a week !"

"What happened?"

"She had to cook plantains instead of the usual endmonth red meat !"

Leon thought about buying the coconuts the guy was selling, but he changed his mind.Although he gave the coconuts a longing look ,something was not right!

"Those fresh?"

"Yeah!"

"Really ,cause i would really love to have fresh ones !"

"Er,not really!"

He gave up and decided to peer into his magazine .The guy bent over and looked him straight into the eye

"Seriously you waste of time.You gonna avoid me like that !"

" am not buying !"

"Why??"

"Changed my mind!"

"And to think ...."the guy lamented.He thought about giving him a dollar as a reconciliation but the guy angered him by what he said next

" Go to hell, mean hard monied tourist!"

Leon thought for a moment on the incidence that transpired. "Why are people always so mean!!" He wondered out aloud. He saw a fortune teller banner hanging on some pine tree, and he shuddered. He hated them. He looked the other side and saw the sea pound the beach and the tides pull back.

"What really makes us human?"

Sarah called ," sir i suppose you are having a great day?"

" yeah am surely Having a great time!" He sighed.

" Sir ,time for coffee !!"

Leon decided to walk back..The air was fresh, cool and still. It was warm.Still he could see campfires lit all over the place.

He loved nature, He loved people. He felt at peace the way it was. Everybody smiling,having a good time. Things could never be better.

Back at the camp Sarah poured wine into his glass. He thought about it and almost laughed. "I thought it was coffee !"

Sarah quickly apologized and almost took the cup from him. He declined. She looked absentminded.

"Anything wrong sarah?"

"Nothing !"

"C'mon, i thought we had no secrets!"

"Its my brother,"

"Well what about him?"

"He wants a guitar so badly but the one he wants is too expensive !"

" Oh just that?"

Why do you think Leon's generous?
