Chapter 146

To my surprise, she agreed. "Let me call Sandra right now," she told me. "If you don't hear back from me within the hour, you'll know we'll be there," she promised.
I hung up then, pleased with myself at setting up a situation outside of the house, as far away from Bella as possible. I also knew if she asked me about it, I'd tell her. Two could play at that game. Now feeling pleased with myself, I was both hungry again, and wanting to work off a little unexpected energy, so I decided to take a quick swim first, grab a bite to eat, and hopefully an hour from now, call and see about booking a room for the night. Even if I had to book a suite in the event they didn't have any other available rooms...I'd do so, and fuck the cost.
I went out for a swim, was just heading towards the den afterwards when the sliding glass doors opened surprising me a little. Dad walked out first, followed by three of his golf buddies I had once met before. Not all that surprising as they'd come over in the past for drinks with dad just like it looked they were about to do now. But then Bella stepped out right behind them, writing in her ledger as she did.
