Chapter 13 Henry

My heart drums against my ribs as I take the elevator up to Foster's apartment.

I just texted my dad and said I was spending the night at the new Sinclair Luxury Spa and Hotel because Mrs. Sinclair had invited me to stay there to celebrate the grand opening. He likes it when I endorse new businesses in person. It gives them credibility and he expects they'll return the favor by attending more of my parties and donating. Of course, there is no new spa or grand opening, but my dad doesn't follow that stuff and will never know.

Foster swings the door open and swoops out to grab me by the waist and pull me inside. He's instantly kissing me and I'm laughing, trying to keep up with his enthusiasm. My bag falls to the floor as he bends me back. "What are you doing here?" His smile is brilliant.

"I told my dad I was staying at a spa."

His smile deepens. "Tell him you'll be staying there every night."

I huff out a laugh. "I'm not sure that'll work, but tonight I'm yours."

"Tell him you're going on a trip round the world and you'll be gone for months." He kisses me one more time and helps me stand up straight again.

That makes me giggle, but it's not a bad idea so I can have more time alone with Foster.

He picks up my bag from the floor and grabs my hand. He walks me into the living room where an older man is sitting in a recliner watching a boxing match on the TV.

"Henry!" Foster is beaming. I don't think my mere presence has ever made anyone as happy as it has made him. "This is Mila."

Henry looks over and a sweet smile blooms on his gray-bearded chin. "Ahh, Mila. Finally, I meet you." He looks like he's as happy to see me as Foster. He holds up his hands and I walk to him and take them.

His skin is cold and fragile, but he squeezes my fingers with a forceful vigor. "Sit and chat with me." He reaches for the remote and clicks off the TV.

Foster grins down at us.

"Foster tells me you're quite the competitor on the bike."

I laugh and look up at him and smile. It's been a long time since we rode the streets of the Hamptons together. "He was taking it easy on me. I heard you are the real-life Malibu Elvis. Is that true?"

His face lights up and he glances at Foster. "Not a name I would have picked for myself but that's what they called me."

"I'll leave you two to it." Foster interrupts us. "I was making something to eat." He bends to kiss my cheek and heads toward the kitchen.

"So you're from California? It's so beautiful there. I visited once and thought I could stay forever."

"I'm from the old California. Not the way it is now. Back when surfing was fun and the beaches were clean and empty. It's turned into a goddamn zoo now, but the waves were free when I rode them in Malibu.
