Chapter Fifteen

Johnson

Instead of the usual disappointment when I take a sip of the San Pellegrino the hotel restaurant waiter has poured me, it affirms my decision to act clean on this trip and focus on the game. My head is clear, and that’s how I intend to keep it.

I’ve been playing golf long enough to know everything Meredith highlighted today on the course was basic and distilled down to focus and concentration. They were natural qualities I used in the early days of playing because my mind wasn’t full of distractions and I had plenty of confidence. But the drift of complacency over the last year has opened a gap and the self-confidence that is flooding out will destroy me. But I’ve no time to dwell on that crap. I have to come out on top this week.

So tonight, I’ll try my best to reflect with Meredith on how it went today. Test out her thoughts for the rest of the week then tell her I don’t need her services for the rest of the competition. Because I don’t need any distractions.

Especially not when they come in the form of the vision that has entered the restaurant.

Hot shit!

In desperation, I school my facial expression into what I hope looks like someone pleased to see their doctor arrive for an appointment and not a hot date.

Meredith is wearing a pale gray pant suit and her blonde hair is swept up into a high ponytail that makes her look as glamorous as fuck.

I take another sip of water before she arrives at the table, mitigating the chance of my voice cracking with the surprise. My clear mind suddenly fuzzes over again with the thoughts of her.

“Hey.” The word comes out thankfully smoothly.

“AJ not here yet?” she asks, as she slides into other side of the half-moon shaped booth.

“No. Why should he be?”

“Oh… No, I’d assumed this would be a run through of today… wrongly obviously.” She raises her hand to grab the attention of the waiter.

I’m even more uncomfortable.

“Sorry. Would you like a drink?” I ask.

She turns back her hand still aloft. “Yes please. A glass of Cab Franc would be nice.”

“Sure.” I nod toward a waiter and he immediately trots across for me to repeat her request.

“That’s annoying.”

“What is?”

“The way he came over as soon as you blinked.”

I don’t comment because unfortunately that’s the way it is here.

“What do you want to talk about tonight?” she asks.

“I’m not sure. I don’t want this to turn into a counselling session and I’m sure you would rather it wasn’t another date.”

She laughs and shakes her head.

I look up as two fellow golfers enter the dining room, and we exchange polite nods.

“Are they golfers too?” Meredith asks.

I nod, and then take a gulp of my drink, letting the bubbles fizz inside my mouth before swallowing.

“Would you be having dinner with them this evening if you weren’t here with me?”

I snort. “Not likely, they all keep their distance since that incident at the awards evening.”

Her mouth forms an ‘o’ shape.
