Chapter Ten

SHIT! WHAT WAS HE doing? Or not doing? Julia pulled away from the curb, aptly dressed in appropriate Hawaiian wear of a light summer dress and sandals. She’d brushed her long, blonde hair until it was straight and shiny around her shoulders. The ends fell to her mid-chest. Julia usually pulled her hair back in a ponytail or a braid. It was never done fancy for work and she always wore functional clothes, ever since the first days when Chris advised her. Today, however, she was all dressed up for a vacation with Lloyd. The older man. The older man she was sleeping with. The older man that fathered Chris.

Chris started pacing the small floor of the job shack. She was having sex with his father. He realized it now. He finally admitted it and resigned himself to the idea after he first found out. There was no going back from that. And nothing could undo it. Julia was having sex with his father. Now. She was on her way to do plenty of it in a tropical paradise. Lloyd was nothing less than jubilant when he swung by the job site at the end of yesterday. He wanted a last check of all the jobs right before leaving for his vacation. Vacation. The once innocuous word now made Chris freeze up with anxiety. He knew already that Julia had scheduled a week off. Her first vacation. How convenient and what a coincidence. Lloyd had too.

“Where are you going?” he’d asked Lloyd.

Lloyd flashed a huge smile. “Hawaii. Got a room right on the beach at the Royal Desert Aire.” Chris had no clue if the hotel were five stars or four, but he didn’t doubt Julia would be treated to an expensive and impressive trip. All on Lloyd’s dime. Chris’s stomach churned at that realization.

Lloyd’s happy news only depressed Chris so he went home to Simba, but he was unable to eat. He worked out and hoped a good workout might lift his spirits. But he was still depressed, so he decided to go to his mother’s house. She took one look at his face and asked him what was wrong. He shrugged without answering.

“It’s that girl again, isn’t it? You’ve never stayed interested this long in someone. Why her?”

Chris thought, She’s smart, funny, sarcastic, and easy to get along with. She keeps her emotions in check and he liked the calm surrounds her. But he simply replied, “She doesn’t like me back.”

“She told you that?”

“No. I never told her how I felt. As I said before, she’s already with someone else.”

“But people always change their minds, Chris. Again, if you failed to give her all the facts, then she missed that opportunity. If you get along as well as you think you do, you need to tell her right away and let her know.”

“We work together. Can you imagine how that would be? What if she refuses me and there I am, the wet dog in the room while she tries to avoid me at all costs and I have no idea how to act.
