Chapter 5

I set my suitcase down with a clunk on the stone patio that encircled the pool house on Eric Gambit’s estate. To my left, the pool was aquiline and wrapped the front end of the patio like a semi-moat – complete with a tasteful stone waterfall, always running, always soothing. The sound of the waterfall’s gentle splashing filled my ears and I closed my eyes for a moment to let my other senses breathe. Chlorine; I smelled the chlorine. And the light scent of coconut sun tanning lotion – no wait, I was only imagining that. It seemed to go hand-in-hand with the chlorine scent. I felt the sun beating down on my skin; today was a real scorcher, and the rest of the week promised no less heat.

I wished my bikini had made it out of the fire. This pool was to die for.

As I took in the sights around me, the only term that came to mind was ‘Gatsby-esque’. I floundered about my words as I tried to describe it in my head, eventually deciding that ‘Breathtaking’ would have to do.

Eric Gambit’s own mansion was the pinnacle of luxury; it looked startlingly foreign to me, a city girl, as I approached the estate. Big white walls, paved stone-white driveway, and a garage the size of any mansion I’d ever seen before. The main building looked quite a bit like some of the larger houses I’d seen while visiting my aunt in California – the sprawling boxy kinds, with big windows, that seemed to stretch to fill the entire lot they occupied.

But Eric Gambit’s was bigger in every way; the walls were both taller and wider, the windows larger and more numerous. Actually, the biggest similarity between them was the fact that Eric’s mansion retained that cube-inspired design; the house was all straight angles and squares. I think that’s what made me draw the initial comparison.

Beyond that, Gambit’s estate was a veritable wonderland for a girl like me. I could just imagine lounging on his patio in his backyard, tanning, with a margarita in hand. Sunglasses propped up over my forehead, eyelids tanning – because why not, I don’t want that damn sunglasses tan that I always got every year when I went to the beach. Every damn year.

I suddenly realized that if I spent as much time tanning here as I wanted to, everyone in the office would think I’d been laying on top of my apartment building – or that I’d been fake tanning. Ah, fake tanning - in this day and age, it was becoming more and more of a crime as people became more health-conscious. Those things give you cancer, did you know? Yes, we all know.

The pool house itself was bigger than my aunt’s manse. It wouldn’t have been out of place in a real estate magazine listing million-dollar mansions. But as magnificent as it was, it didn’t hold a candle to the main house – which was like ten mansions put together.

I supposed one mansion would suffice to house me.
