Chapter Twenty-Seven

Edison

Edison adjusted his necktie in the mirror as he prepared for another Monday. He was actually glad to be going to work, to have something to do, because Sunday had been full of long, boring hours of cleaning and errands. It’d taken a lot of willpower not to call Bishop. He knew he was trying to have some bonding time with his dad, and Edison didn’t want to infringe on that. He’d have given anything for just one more day with his pop. They used to fish on his uncle’s boat when they could carve out the time. Those days had been some of the best of his life and he missed his best friend every day.

Edison checked his watch then hurried out of his bedroom with his suit jacket tossed over his arm. He’d made more blueberry muffins in the hope of running into Bishop and Trent before he had to be at his staff meeting. It wasn’t that big of a deal, he simply wanted to show his gratitude for their hard work on Saturday. Muffins on a Monday always started his week off nicely.

He pulled into a parking space and like usual, Stockley Lawn Service was already there and bustling with activity. Edison surveyed the wide lawn, looking for one well-built crew member in particular, and it wasn’t long before he spotted his wide shoulders next to Trent and two other men as he pointed at a row of bushes along the steps.

Edison was smiling like a loon as he threw his messenger bag over his shoulder and grabbed the small Tupperware container with the muffins. He’d just about cleared the parking lot when he saw Skylar’s flashy Lexus swerve into a space right beside him. Edison frowned at him through the tinted windows but never broke his stride.

“Good morning,” Skylar called out. Edison heard rushed footsteps behind him but Skylar’s overpowering cologne reached him before he did.

“Morning,” Edison mumbled.

“How was your weekend?”

“Fine.”

“Oookay. That sounds more like not fine, but sure.”

Edison didn’t say anything more. He wasn’t interested in engaging Skylar with small talk which usually resulted in him being rude and insulting. And Edison had had enough of that.

“How was my weekend, you ask? Well my weekend was fuckin hawt. Oh man.” Skylar tapped him multiple times in his shoulder with his forearm. “I’m talking three big-breasted babes all to myself. And I made each one squeal for hours… it was great.”

“Yeah, sounds like a blast,” Edison droned.

Skylar frowned at him. “What did you say you did again that was more fun?”

“I didn’t,” Edison said, not taking his eyes off Bishop who was now watching him with that fierce expression. The one that made him wonder if Bishop was going to rush him. It was hard to acknowledge anything else around him when he was caught in Bishop’s clutches. He smiled pleasantly and held up the plastic ware in his hand, nodding for Bishop to come to him. “I’ll see you inside, Skylar. And don’t be late for the meeting.
