"Will you be long, dear?"

Naǧí drew heavily on a freshly made blunt.
"I'll be as long as it takes," she shouted.

The bud was good. It was not as potent
as the stuff back home in the States,
but good.

Relaxing on her new throne - a filthy
toilet in a London pub, Naǧí laughed softly.

She had arrived in Blighty a few days
before. A week away from life back
home and a chance to see jolly old England.

"I say, miss, I'm busting for a wee."
Reluctantly, throwing the **** in the pan
she exited the cubicle.

Stood outside was an older lady
in a state of panic, "It's my bladder, dear.."

Naǧí stepped aside to let the desperate
woman pass into the smoke-filled chamber.

Back out into the bar, she ordered a double
whiskey and melted into a barstool.

"Alright, duck? Bertha's the name." said a
rather large, pretty chick on the next stool.

"Hi, I'm Naǧí, just over from the States for
a few days."

Bertha grinned, "A Yank eh? Have a nice day,
y'all, hahaha."

"Yes, good one Bertha. Hey, do you know
where I can score any top-grade ****?"

"I'll ask my fella, here he comes."

Working his way through the busy pub,
full of swinging hipsters and cheery older
folk appeared a handsome fellow, smiling
from ear to ear.

Bertha grabbed him, planting a kiss on his
lips,"This is my babe, he's ******* gorgeous
isn't he?"

The man embraced her, squeezing her
ample *** and licking her face. He then
introduced himself to Naǧí, "Hello there,
the name's Echo, how do you do."

Naǧí and Echo shook hands, while Bertha
threw a jealous glance.

"Babe, Naǧí, here, wants to score some
****. Is your mate Jimmy The Silk, about?"

"Yeah, I think he's at home tonight."

Naǧí pondered for a second, "I could drive us
there? I'm not drunk."

Bertha ummed and arred, then agreed, Echo
did as he was told.

Into Naǧí's hired car they did go.
Arriving at Jimmy's flat in Bethnal Green,
after a quick stop off at a Tesco superstore to
get some chocolate trifles for Bertha, they
knocked at the door.

The door slowly opened, revealing a very
drunk Jimmy The Silk, wearing a beer-stained
Liverpool FC top and a joint stuck to his
bottom lip.

"Echo! You ******* ******, how ya doing?
Bertha, ya beast! Come here and cuddle
Uncle Jimmy."

Bertha embraced Jimmy, kissing him on both
cheeks whilst giggling like a schoolgirl.

Into the flat they all went. Eventually, after
falling over many times, Jimmy weighed out a
four-gram bag of ****.

Naǧí automatically skinned up.By now Echo
and Jimmy had put some music on and were
badly dancing to the Saturday Night Fever
soundtrack.

Everyone settled on the sofa and chairs in
Jimmy's living room, ****** to high heaven.

Naǧí smiled, "You Brits know how to have a
good time, I'm having a ball. Hey, Bertha,
where are those trifles? Let's get munching!"

Bertha looked to the floor, Echo embraced her,
"Bertha, beautiful, love of my life, where are
the chocolate trifles?"

Jimmy piped up, "Yea, c'mon girl, don't be greedy,
well, at least not tonight, eh?
Hahaha, no offence, doll."

Bertha, flicked her hair back, "Erm, I..er..ate
them while you guys were dancing and Naǧí
was making a bifta."

The room fell silent.

Then all at once, they burst out laughing,

Echo hugged her tightly,
"Aww, you naughty dumpling! Jimmy,order a
Chinese takeaway, mate."

They all shared some food together and
indulged in more spliffs and more drinks.

Naǧí drove away the next morning, dropping
Bertha and Echo off at home, after thanking
Jimmy for his hospitality. She left them her
number, promising to let the three amigos
stay anytime they visit the States.

The following week, back home, Naǧí sparked
up a blunt, selected a song, and pressed play:
'Night fever, night fever, we know how to do it...'



                                              THE END
"Cecil."

"Yes, Tarquin."

"Did you wee on my toilet seat?"

"Why, yes, I think I did."

"Didn't you think to wipe?"

"No, I never wipe."

"I see."

Bertha's Story
Bertha stared motionless through the TV.
Thoughts of times past filled her mind...

"Happy birthday, darling! Here you go."
Dad and his appearances. Yep, never fooled me.

He only saw me on my birthdays—normally an hour or two, tops.
A quick ice cream and a gift, then boom, see you next year.

I don't remember Mum and Dad being together; why would I?
I was only a few months old when they split.

Growing up, it was different men all the time coming into the house. Eventually, I came to realize that when they visited, in the next few days that followed, I would be treated to a day out or spoiled rotten with gifts.
Yeah, she was a lady of the night, a Tom, a brass—a *******.

Dad was an ex-client, I found out years later. He died on my 13th birthday—a day I'll never forget.

Mum told me in the morning that Dad had been killed in a car crash.
I didn't know how to feel. I mean, he was just a guy I saw once a year.

That evening, after a cake and a few friends came around for a party, I was alone in the lounge.
There was a tap on the window.
I looked out and saw one of Mum's regular male visitors.

I shouted for Mum. Assuming she was coming, I opened the front door to let him in.

"You're a pretty one," he kept saying to me, complimenting my looks, my dress, my body.

After he violated me, I was once again left alone.

Mum eventually came home; she had popped to the shops, thinking I was here with friends. That's her story—she knew full well they had already left.

They caught the man. He got two years in prison—TWO YEARS. After that, I ate and ate and ate. I craved love and affection but always looked in the wrong places.

Mum died a couple of years ago—drugs, yep.

So, here I am, the last one standing.

Life... oh, what a life.

            -  -  -

Bertha refocused on the TV, releasing a heavy sigh.

She noticed a message flash up on her phone.
It was the boyfriend saying he was on his way round.

Rummaging through her handbag, Bertha grabbed some mascara and lipstick.
A swift makeover followed, then, standing up, she shook herself down and placed a smile upon her face.

The doorbell rang.

"Hello, Babe, you **** *******. Get ya **** in here.."
"Tommy."

"Yes, Daddy."

"Can you explain these white stains
on your sheets?"

"Why, yes, that's where I've been
knocking one out at bedtime."

"I thought so."
"Veronica."

"Yes, Harold."

"You appear to have left an unflushed
floater in the toilet."

"And your point is?"

"Nothing, I guess."
"I say, Betty."

"Yes, Rupert."

"I've decided to leave you. I've fallen in love with Jemima."

"Jemima?"

"That's right. She and I have fought hard to resist our feelings, but resist no more, we say."

"So you're leaving me for the pet dog?"

"It appears to be the case, yes."

"And where will you two lovebirds live?"

"I was hoping I could rent the back garden from you."

"Rupert."

"Yes?"

"Have you been smoking crack again?"

"I have."

"Go to bed. I'll wake you in the morning."

"Yes, dear."
