CHAPTER SEVEN

“I’ve been meaning to talk to you,” Max said, one morning in January after Derek returned from taking Michael to school.

“Is there a problem?” Derek asked, taking off his heavy coat. Cold and snow, brr!

“Not at all. I don’t know if you remember the dates for the cruise I booked. I made it for the week that Michael is out for spring break. Is that still okay with you?” Max said, sitting behind his big desk in the office that was next to Derek’s.

“Of course. You know, I had actually forgotten it. I’ll have to make arrangements for Betsy and Sara. Hmm, I’ll also check Michael’s clothes and see if he can fit into any of his summer clothes. He’s growing so fast. I might need to get some things, too, for tropical weather. What a thought. Now I’m excited all over again,” Derek said, smiling at his partner.

“Good. I like you excited. Why don’t you and Michael shop in the store this afternoon? Put everything on our account. We leave on that Saturday morning and return on Sunday afternoon. We’ll spend one night in Florida before we come back. I think it’ll be great to get away and I can’t wait to see all that blue water,” Max said, grinning happily.

“What about you? Do you need summer clothes for the trip? I can shop for you if you tell me what you like,” Derek offered.

“You don’t have to do that. I’ll find time to grab some things.”

“How about I find time in your schedule this week and we’ll do our shopping together and I’ll take Michael a little closer to the date so his will fit perfectly? Besides, I wouldn’t want to make decisions for you about your wardrobe.” Derek wasn’t quite sure about his role. He knew that he was a member of the family and a respected member of the work force at Martin’s, but he still was unsure of himself as far as taking things for granted.

“That sounds like a good idea. We’ll do it this week if I have time. You let me know, okay?” Max said, opening a file on his desk. Derek took that as his time to exit and get to his own work.

They did find time and laughed and teased as they shopped for the items they needed. Derek wasn’t surprised when Max went for baggy, longer shorts and cotton shirts. They both picked up trunks and shoes for the pool area. They didn’t bother to try them on as they could just bring them back downstairs if they didn’t fit. It was kind of cool living above a huge department store like Martin’s.

After taking the items upstairs, Derek headed back down to pick up some lunch for them. He still felt funny having meals brought up to him, especially in the middle of the day. He turned in their orders. He’d gotten into the habit of waiting for their meals in a little alcove between the kitchen and the main area of the dining area.
