“I’m
on it. I’ll bitch out Franklin for calling you. I was on the phone
getting everything figured out when he decided we couldn’t handle
this on our own.”
“Let
me know if you have any problems. If they don’t show up tomorrow –
call me. I’ll be by early in the morning to make sure everything is
kosher.” I ended the call before tossing my phone on the
passenger’s seat.
I
needed to make sure I was there before the guys were in the morning.
That’s what Dad would have done. He led by example and that’s why
everyone respected him. He kept calm, made rational decisions and
didn’t get worked up. Unfortunately for me, my maternal DNA was a
little stronger.
“Treat
me good, I’ll treat you better. Treat me bad, I’ll treat you
worse.”
I
saw that in a bar in Newport shortly before my world flipped upside
down. I liked the little motto that had been carved into a wooden
table and it had stayed with me. It appealed to the side of me that
was more like her, the side of me that was a pure hedonist.
My
shoulders tensed as I recalled playing with my black and yellow
trucks, running them over and over the sand, waiting on her to come
home. And the feeling of my hopes go down with the sun behind the
palm trees.
Fuck
her.
I
tossed my sunglasses beside my phone as I glanced at the clock. 7:54
P.M.
I
briefly considered turning around and heading back to the restaurant.
Traffic was a motherfucker and it would be an hour to get back the
other direction, so I continued towards home.
I
zipped through the lanes, weaving in and out of the cars, my driving
a little erratic – mirroring my thoughts. I had spent less than
thirty minutes with the girl at the restaurant and now my mind was
focused on her? What the fuck? That is not how I operated.
She
told me no.
I shook my head, a grin touching my lips.
