18 Reginald, Honey, I’m Back

Monday, July 22, 1991

After my brother, Chris, and I made up, I felt great. I got my brother back. He really cared about me. I hated that my brother’s return was a result of Perry losing his, but the world is full of contradictions. Curious to know what Perry planned to do, I called down to the second floor office. I only gave him about five minutes to himself, but what would he really have done with more time? Plus, with the mystery solved, I need to get back to Rome.

“Perry, have you come up with a solution to your problem?”

“Reginald, what would you do to your brother? Your blood? Your mother’s other baby boy?”

“Damn, when you put it like that, it sounds so bad. But what was your brother trying to do to his mother’s other baby boy? Don’t get caught up, Perry. Your mother’s going to lose one child. Which one do you want it to be?”

“Reginald, man, how could he do this to me?”

“It’s a consequence of the life, Perry. Remember when I said don’t let anybody know where you live? Remember when I said don’t bring them to your house? You will have many enemies, Perry, and some of them will be family. I’m sorry.”

“Me, too. Thank you, Reginald.”

“You’re welcome, Perry. I have to go back to Rome now, but Christopher said he’s going to come down to your office and talk to you for a little while. Is that okay?”

“That would be great.”

“I’ll call you, Perry.”

“Talk to you soon, Reginald. Thank you.”

On the jet to Rome, I couldn’t help but think about Natalie. I know she’ll be so happy to see me. She’ll tell me how wrong it was that I went back to New York for two weeks but then she’ll accept my apology. After that, we’ll hug and kiss and make up. I’ll take her to the most beautiful locations in Italy during our last week, making sure we get to every wonderful spot. It will be like we were never apart.

When the jet landed, it was a little after nine in the evening. I planned on surprising Natalie, so I didn’t call her first. She wouldn’t have wanted a call from me anyway because my last set of calls were to tell her that I needed more time in New York. At this point, she may not have even answered the telephone. A surprise at the door is so much better.

I instructed the jet to remain in the hangar, so Natalie’s parents could return home in it. The pilot was put up in a five star hotel until the details of their departure was clear. At the same hotel, I purchased a tuxedo and two dozen roses. A car brought me to the villa. During the ride, I adjusted my watch six hours ahead to match Italy’s time zone. Once out of the car, I began up the walkway. It was a few minutes shy of 10 pm.

Walking up in full tuxedo armor, it felt like my first official date with Natalie.
