Chapter Sixteen

DAD LOVED THE DODGERS game. The tickets Grayson got us were amazing, and once Dad knew my boss was the one who snagged the tickets, he grinned and said, “He’s a good guy that one.” Then after a bite of his hotdog, he turned to me and asked, “Anything I should know about you and him?”

Lori, on the other side of Dad, starting giggling. “It sure looked it last night.”

“What are you both talking about?” I asked, sucking back a drink of my huge Coke.

“The way I saw it. All the yelling, the back and forth shit between the two of you… foreplay,” Dad announced.

My Coke wedged in my throat. I choked on it and then spent the next minute trying to breathe again. Finally, I shook my head at my lunatic father and sister. “First. Dad, do not ever say foreplay in front of me again.”

“Or me.” Lori nodded. “Still, he has a point.”

“Thank you.” Dad smiled. “And I know all about foreplay. How do you think you two—”

“Dad!” we both cried. He chuckled.

“Second,” I started and glared at them. “You both have lost your minds.”

“Kenzie, you’re blind if—”

Dad placed his hand on Lori’s arm and shook his head at her. “Let her be in her denial world. She’s got a lot to learn after living in dweeb world with that ex of hers for a while.”

Lori cackled.

I huffed, sat back, and asked, “Dad, how old are you again?”

“Old enough to know when I see a man clearly made for my girl, but she’s blind to it.”

I gasped. With wide eyes, I looked to my father and asked, “You don’t mean Grayson?”

“I certainly don’t mean Dylan.” He glanced to Lori, and added, “We’ll talk about him later.”

“He’s my boss. He likes to run people’s lives. I had enough of that with Robert. I’m—”

“Puddin’.” Dad sighed. “Your boss ain’t anything like dickface. Just let things keep running the way they are and one day you’ll be jogging the same path Grayson wants to lead you down.”

Throwing my hands in the air, I yelled, “What does that even mean?”

He patted my shoulder. “Don’t worry, you’ll understand one day.” Dad’s cell rang interrupting the confusion swirling around me. He pulled it from his pocket and answered it, “Talk.” Pausing to listen to whoever was on the other end, who spoke for a while, he then said, “Got you. Good play, son.” Then he hung up, placed the phone back in his pocket, and went back to watching the game.

“Ah, who was that?” I asked.

“Nothing.”

I looked to Lori, who gave me wide eyes back. “I didn’t ask what it was about. I asked who it was.”

“Right.” Dad clapped. “I need to shake the snake.” Lori and I both groaned. “Be back in a tick.” He stood and walked up the stairs.

“That was strange,” Lori commented.

Meeting her gaze, I nodded. “I agree. The only person I know of him calling son is…” My eyes widened. “Why would Grayson call our father?”

She smiled. “I don’t know, but I’m looking forward to finding out.
