Brian
Dating Hadley turns out to be fun, like being a carefree teenager again but with funds to actually do stuff.
Like goofy golf.
“I can’t believe you like this sort of thing.” Hadley lines up to take a shot, her skill evident as the ball rolls into the hole with a single put. I rub my eyes. “You’re so weird.”
Hadley grins at me, hand on hip. “You’re just jealous.”
“Yeah, that’s it all right.” I whack the little ball, watching as it careens against the sides of the run, rolling far past the hole then bouncing backwards. Hadley’s eyes dance as they meet mine. I can only shake my head.
“That’s awful, Uncle Brian,” Jack calls from the next green. Yeah, the kid is a natural. Just like Hadley.
Hadley swings the club at her side. “I could teach you.”
I pull her close using the club. “I don’t want goofy golf lessons.”
“Ooh, what kind of lessons do you want?” Hadley slides a hand up to my neck.
I set our clubs aside. “I’m sure I can think of something.”
Hadley’s smile spreads. “Don’t take too long.”
“Gross.” Jack’s back. “Why do you keep doing that? I thought we were playing.”
Poor kid. His hormones haven’t kicked in yet. Thank goodness. I ruffle his hair. “Sorry, buddy. I’ll try harder.”
Jack grabs ahold of Hadley’s hand, dragging her to the next green. “You’ve finished this one. Check out the windmill.”
I push out a puff of air, grateful we’re at the windmill. That means we’re nearly done, and this torture can end. I take another swing as Hadley answers her phone. The ball goes into the hole.
“Sweet!” My fist pump ignored, I head over to them. “Got it in two strokes,” I tell Jack, watching Hadley scowl as she listens on her phone.
Jack barely looks up. “Good for you, Uncle Brian. You’re still going to lose.”
Humph. Kid’s got that right.
“I’m not interested.”
I focus on Hadley, raising a brow when she shakes her head.
“No, Mom. I will not bring him to a family dinner.”
Him. She’s talking about me. For the time we’ve been dating, I’ve completely avoided her family. Much as I’d like, such a feat can’t last forever.
I walk over and whisper, “I can go to dinner, if you want.”
Hadley rolls her eyes and tells her mother that she needs to go. She clicks off the call with a sigh. “It’s not you.”
“It’s me?” I ask, quirking the left corner of my mouth up as I finish the biggest line in the history of relationship breakups.
Hadley offers a snort, then says, “It’s not you either. It’s them.”
I raise my brows.
“If I don’t want to have dinner with my parents, I can’t expect you to.”
“Why don’t you want to eat with your parents? Do they cook bad food?” Jack taps his ball, sending it right past the windmill’s spinning arms. “I really hate it when Mom makes asparagus.” The ball drops into the hole. “Sweet.” Jack grins at Hadley. “You’re never gonna beat me now.”
“We’ll see about that, young man.” Hadley saunters over to set up her shot.
