Beau:

When I purchased this house, I thought a few friends would come down to visit or I would use the house as an escape to get away when I wasn’t conducting business.

But never in my wildest dreams, had I imagined I would use it to host Marla and my son. It was surreal to be sitting at my table with them, sharing a meal together.

Marla was quiet as Charlie and I talked about surfing. She was acting like the night before hadn’t happened, but I couldn’t get the image of her splayed open for me out of my mind. Her taste was still on my tongue. I wanted more, but Charlie was in the picture now and I owed it to him to be there.

He seemed up for anything.

I was stoked. It would be cool to surf with my son.

After we were served lobster and coleslaw, Charlie chowed down on his food. That boy had a stomach the size of an arena. He was always hungry and he attacked his meal as if he had been starving for days. He even dunked his lobster in the butter twice. Just like I always did.

It was cool to see myself in my kid.

I didn’t realize I would be this happy to see him.

I had missed him and not even realized it.

“Please bring me another Fat Tire, Reeves,” I asked as I held up my empty beer glass.

“I’ll take another one, too, please,” Charlie chimed in.

“Very good, sir,” Reeves said, before disappearing into the house again.

“Does he go everywhere with you?” Charlie asked boldly.

“Sometimes. Usually when I’m going to be at one of my houses.”

“That’s so cool. How many houses do you own?”

“Charlie, don’t be rude,” Marla interjected, as she wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin.

He turned toward her. “You know I’m not eight anymore. You don’t have to correct me.”

She smiled apologetically. “I know. It’s a hard habit to break. But it’s rude to ask people those kinds of questions.”

Charlie shot his mother a lopsided grin. “But he isn’t just anybody, is he? He’s my dad. He should be okay with those kinds of questions.”

“He’s right. I’m okay with it, kid. Fire away,” I volunteered, wondering what else he would throw at me.

“You see? He’s incorrigible,” Marla offered with another smile.

I winked at her. “I’m okay with incorrigible.”

“Okay, how many houses do you have?” Charlie questioned.

“Four.”

“How much do you pull in a year?”

“Anywhere from three hundred to five hundred million a year.”

“Whoa. That’s some serious moola.”

“Yes, it is.”

“How many cars do you have?”

“Too many. But my favorite is my candy apple red 1969 Mustang.

“Can I drive it some time?”

“We’ll see. Any other questions?”

“Yeah, who do you love?” he fired at me with a cheeky grin.

He was waiting to see how I would handle this curveball.

I glanced at Marla before I could stop myself. “No comment.”

“Oh, come on,” he pleaded.

“Nope, that one’s off the table.”

“Leave him alone, Charlie,” his mother warned.

“Just trying to get to know the man,” Charlie offered with a sly smile.
