Chapter 33

Out of Town

It’s Friday night and I’m wondering how everything went with Gill over at MacKenzie’s when my phone rings and Gill’s name appears on my screen. Speak of the devil. “Hello?”

“Hey Sam. All done, man.”

“Great, how’d it go?”

There’s a pause then a sigh. I know Gill and that’s the signal that he’s weighing his words. I press the speaker button and mute my television until he’s ready.

“Sam. You should have had me pick her up at work.”

Shit. I should have. “You’re right. Was she okay when you got there?”

“Yeah. She was expecting me. She seemed happy to see me.”

“Happy to see you?” What the ever-loving hell does he mean by that?

“She cooked me supper. It was amazing.”

“She cooked for you?”

“She sure did, boss. I felt like the man coming home from work to his good woman,” I hear him chuckle.

“That’s not funny, dude. Did you get the fucking door installed or what?” I ask testily.

“Yep. And it was a perfect fit. Which surprised me for such an old place. It was surprisingly solid.”

“How long were you there?”

“A couple hours. We had dinner right in the middle. Got to know her a little better.”

I groan, “She really did cook for you? I though you were bullshitting me.”

“No bullshit. Nothing fancy but it hit the spot.”

“What’d she talk about?”

“Her grandfather, mostly. How he built all of the cool stuff in her place, how creative he was, stuff like that.”

He knows more about her than I do and she’s supposed to be my woman.

“He encouraged her to go into art. That’s something. Most parents try to talk their kids out of art school. Am I right?”

“Uh, huh. What else did she say?” I might as well get as much from him as possible.

“Well, boss,” he says tersely. “Here’s the thing… she kept asking me strange questions.”

“Oh, yeah. Like what?” I hope she wasn’t trying to get with him. That’d be a hell no.

“She wanted to know if we’d been busy this week, if you traveled a lot for work, shit like that. So, I told her no, that we weren’t very busy this week and that you hated to fly.”

Ah, hell. “That’s my fault.”

“No shit, Sam,” he deadpans. “Oh, before I forget, her phone was super outdated, an iPhone 4. I couldn’t download the Smart Lock app. Her laptop was a joke too. She’ll just have to use the key. Oh, and she wanted to know the cost of the door.”

“Why’d she want to now the cost of the door?”

“Beats me. She didn’t say. Maybe she was just keeping the conversation alive. I’m great conversationalist.”

I scoff at his words. The guy is a player, just like I am, was.

“I asked her about her lovely friend, Lauren too. It’s too bad she’s married. I could settle down with someone like her.”

“I’ll bet.” It’s my turn to respond with sarcasm.

“Here’s the kicker though, Sam.”

“Yeah?”

“She asked me to thank you for the door and locks. Now, why would she do that if she’s dating
