chapter thirty-eight

Jack was on the North Bronx Van Cortlandt Golf Course known to many as Vanny. On the second hole par 5, he was facing 619 yards, and for many it was an accomplishment to get par on this monster. This course could take all day and one had to have concentration or forget it, and he was definitely leaning towards forget it. All he was able to think about was Olivia and the baby. And he just had the feeling that it was going to eat him up and spit him out.

“Jack, are you ready to play some army golf?” said Henry.

“Yeah, left, right, left.” Jack approached the tee and looked down at his ball. “Oh no, I almost forgot about it,” Jack lied as he glanced at his watch. “I have a meeting in less than an hour and I can’t miss this one. Sorry Henry but I gotta go.”

Henry watched as Jack took off, not sure if he believed him or not, but he was one of the best golfers on this course so he imagined his excuse was factual.

Back in his Infiniti Q80, he felt guilty about abandoning the game, actually considered going back but then quickly dismissed it. He’d need to admit he was lying or tell another lie, that the meeting was canceled. And again his mind just wasn’t on golf this morning.

His first reaction to having a child wasn’t at all positive, but the more he considered it, and the more he envisioned having a little one running around, well, it just made him smile. Besides, he would need to leave his truck load of money to someone besides charity. And if she wouldn’t marry him then she would have all the heavy lifting, he would just show up when he wanted to play with the little one. And what fun it would be to teach his progeny all the things that he had learned in life. And as soon as he or she was old enough to drive he would buy him or her whatever they wanted. A Corvette, Ferrari, Lexus?

As soon as the kid was born the little tyke would be added to his will. One just never knew when one was going to kick the bucket, his father had been hit by lightning playing golf when he was just thirty-two. Pity the asshole that would try to bully his kid; he’d hire other kids to take care of it. Yes, this was going to work out just fine. He would be taught several languages, French, Mandarin, and Russian would be a good start. Olivia is sure the baby is a girl, but she can’t know that this soon. And where better to learn French than on a vacation in France. Hell, I’ll pay some scientist to teach him stuff.

On the way out of the parking lot, Jack was forced to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting another car, it was time to pay attention to what he was doing.
